"Alici brings Midtown Promenade a lively Italian restaurant centered on oysters and other seafood dishes influenced by Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Owned by chef Pat Pascarella (of White Bull, recently closed Bastone, and Grana), expect fresh oysters from the raw bar, a selection of crudos, and appetizers like tender octopus served with caper-tarragon aioli, red onions, and burnt olives. Whole fish entrees come with a choice of sauces, and there are seafood-laden pastas, too, such as the campanelle neri tossed with rock shrimp, tomatoes, and garlic crumbs. Order a bottle of sparkling wine and dig into these seafood dishes." - Molly Harris
