Fasano Caffè

"With its restaurants and hotels worldwide, the São Paulo-based Fasano hospitality group will be familiar to discerning travelers; and the setting will be familiar to savvy diners as the short-lived home of the relocated Four Seasons. However, New York's own Fasano restaurant looks poised for longevity offering a dose of sophistication to Midtown's dining scene. The spacious, elegantly arranged dining room looks luxe and feels soothing. The menu honors the gastronomic legacy of northern Italy and offers a range of highly enjoyable preparations. Excellent pasta, like the cappellacci di granseola with its squid ink-tinted pockets stuffed with King crab and saffron-spiked "fumetto," is offered along with Milanese di vitello and ossobuco." - Michelin Inspector
