We're really not sure.
But we know what we like and we know what we love as well.
And our new favorite in midtown Manhattan is Trattoria Dell'Arte on 7th near 57th (opposite Carnegie Hall).
There's no doubt about it, this place is a classic. Designed by renowned graphic designer Milton Glaser, the restaurant evokes an Italian artist's studio with oversized sculptures and drawings and a wall gallery of famous Italian noses. From the moment you enter, this culinary haven is absolutely enchanting. There are no pretenses here. Whether you are a regular (and there are many of those) or a newcomer to Dell'Arte, they are sincerely happy to have you and they will be most appreciative and do everything to make your dining experience extra special.
Of course, reservations are recommended.
Trattoria Dell’Arte features the largest antipasto bar in New York with a sprawling selection of seafood and vegetable specialties. The menu focuses on northern Italian specialties such as the steak Florentine, double veal chop, seafood specialties of the Mediterranean, and unforgettable desserts.
It was here at Dell'Arte that we enjoyed the most wonderful lobster seafood risotto we've ever tasted. Often risotto is too creamy or too mushy. No here. This risotto was divine and loaded with a delightful medley of lobster, shrimp, clams and scallops, all out of the shell. The risotto is brought to you in a pan and served table side. It's magnifico!
But, truth to tell everything was wonderful here and well worth the decidedly New York tariff (dinner entrees range from $31 to $50 with a pre-fixe lunch available for $27.95).
