"This Italian-leaning bar in Gramercy comes from Takuma Watanabe of Martiny’s and chef Suchandrima “Suzy” Mukherjee (Boqueria & Benoit). Look for over a dozen cocktails on a menu from Italian-native Nicolò Amadori, along with small plates like pickled mussels and ’nduja or black arancini octopus." - Eater Staff
"At L’Americana in Gramercy, you can rack up a big bill on yuzu-mustard-gin sours without trying too hard. But the $21 drinks are thoughtful, balanced, and worth your cash. The Italian spot comes from the team behind Martiny’s, one of our favorite special occasion cocktail bars in NYC. L'Americana feels a bit more lived-in though, with comfy leather booths, exposed wood from the building’s foundation, and a marble bar. In addition to expertly made cocktails, they have Italian snacks and pastas. You’ll end up spending an arm and a leg if you have a full dinner, and the food isn't the reason you're here. So come with a date or a few friends and stick to snacks like black arancini brightened up with citrus zest. photo credit: L'Americana" - Will Hartman
"I noticed that Takuma Watanabe — known for cocktails at Martiny’s and as an Angel’s Share alum — has partnered on L’Americanato, a new Italian restaurant that expands his work beyond just drinks." - Emma Orlow
"The day after you eat at Americana, you might be a little cagey when people ask what you did last night. Not because anything went wrong, but because you want to keep it all to yourself for a little while. It’s located about 30 minutes from the Strip, but when you’re on day four of a work convention and your team’s eyes need a break from the perpetually blinking lights, take them here. This place has a great weekly harvest menu that changes regularly and comes with endless house wine pairings. Coupled with a patio area overlooking Lake Jacqueline, it’s the perfect place to impress everyone from your assistant to your boss's boss." - Edward Thompson
