Offering superb food and excellent service, this is my wife's and my favorite restaurant in NYC. The menu offers some unusual, but fantastic choices, like tagliatelle with wild boar sauce. Rhe truffle dishes, which are the restaurant's specialty, are "to die for," especially the risotto di parmigiano with shaved truffles! This is not a cheap venue to dine, but it is worth every penny. We make a point of eating here whenever we're in the city, even though the total cost includes Ubers from and to our midtown east apartment.
