For the ultimate Italian fine dining experience head out of the city and to Howard Beach. Although it's not the first destination that comes to mind for a lavish Italian meal, you will be pleasantly surprised by the grandeur of this modern day palazzo. From the hand mosaic elevator, intricate granite floors, plush seating, and strategically placed Chihuly, there is a level of quality and attention to detail that would have made a Renaissance Medici proud, if not envious. Chef Michael DeGeorgio brings creativity and comfort to the table. Must order items include the Lobster Cappuccino, Granzevola alla Treistina, Russo Rib Cut Veal Chop, and Tiramisu. The location is perfect for jet-setters coming and going from JFK.

With only ten tables serving dinner from 5pm - 11pm, it's not often that one can land a reservation at this iconic Italian restaurant serving comforting staples since 1896. Especially since the tables are owned and unless you are a guest of one of these coveted shareholders, chances are you will simply be the recipient of "we are booked for a year and not taking reservations."
