"Their genius pairing of tater tots topped with caviar isn’t the only reason we love this Midtown spot that earned a place on our Best New Restaurants of 2023 list. We’re also obsessed with the rest of their Amalfi Coast-inspired menu. The relaxed dining area and outdoor patio with white umbrellas make you feel like you want to stay a few hours and move through multiple courses. Start with oysters, then get our favorite crudo—tender chunks of swordfish topped with lemon aioli. But the main reason we're here is for the must-get mussels with a soffrito sauce that should be sopped up with thick slices of bread. After that it’s your choice of white fish entrees and a few more glasses of wine. If you can ignore the chaos happening in the Trader Joes parking lot, it’s almost like you’re in Amalfi." - nina reeder, juli horsford
