Best Anticipated New NYC Restaurant Openings, Fall 2025 | Eater NY

"One of New York’s most iconic Italian restaurants is making its way back, the intrepid 1998 debut that rewrote the rules of fine dining with offal dishes, classic rock soundtracks, and bold Italian fare — earning praise for shaking up convention and influencing a generation of Italian spots. Now, under the ownership of prolific restaurateur Stephen Starr, chef Mark Ladner returns to helm the kitchen and bring back its authority; while the space harks back to the original, the menu has been refined with a “Del Posto lite” approach featuring seasonal crudi, risotto, the 100-layer lasagna, and favorites like beef-cheek ravioli." - Melissa McCart
