Easily the best Italian restaurant in the city. Chef Nicola's menu is the most modern interpretation of classic Italian cuisine. ...read more
The Scene
While less formal than the owner's original Rex Ristorante, the mood is still decidedly chic and elegant. Guests are greeted warmly at the door as if they were old friends and shown to their tables in one of two dimly lit rooms. The windowed kitchen allows for chef gazing, but the waiter's commentary can be eclipsed by crowd volume.
The Food
Adriatic chef Nicola Mastronardi attends to every detail on this classic Italian menu. Pastas are prepared al dente. The bucatini is made with a smoky, homemade, bacon-like guanciale and tomato sauce, while the hearty lasagnette with white sauce is a savory package of creamy, meaty flavors. Main courses delight as well: Exactingly cooked tagliata topped by arugula and Parmesan satisfies wholly, and the Dover sole is flaky and aromatic. Dessert options include tart lemon panna cotta, and the mille foglie, a deconstructed napoleon with hazelnut and caramel filling.
