"Hosting a one-night-only pop-up from Milan’s Trippa, this restaurant is closely linked with chef Diego Rossi’s team, to the point that it has kept Rossi’s vitello tonnato on the menu since Trippa’s first pop-up there in 2024 as a nod to the ongoing friendship between the kitchens. Its culinary director, Taylor Hester, recently spent a week in Milan cooking alongside the Trippa team, and the $95-per-person New York dinner (with an optional $55 wine pairing) will feature a menu built around Trippa’s signature dishes and new plates created specifically for the event, with bookings handled through DoorDash Reservations." - Melissa McCart
"Saying a meal will make you feel transported to Italy is frankly dumb, because at the end of it you’ll still be in NYC, where people don’t drink nearly enough red wine for their health. But when you sit at the bar at Roscioli, and watch a chef pour parmesan onto a steamy bowl of very al dente carbonara, you can get pretty damn close. This corner spot in Soho has a tasting menu in the cave-like downstairs, but we prefer the sunny upstairs alimentari. As at its Roman counterpart, a dinner there feels like eating in a deli, but a fancy one, which sells luscious tomato sauce, and perfectly marbled mortadella." - team infatuation

"How Far In Advance Should You Book? A few days for an a la carte reservation, or a day for the tasting menu. This Rome import, a Best New Restaurant of 2023 and home of the city’s preeminent rigatoni carbonara, has two dining options: a la carte on the ground floor and a $95 tasting menu in the basement. We prefer to chart our own meals here, but if you want to do the tasting, you’re in luck. There are reservations most days. For a la carte dining, it’s a little trickier, but you should get a good time slot a few days out. Decent last-minute tables also pop up.

"Roscioli—the Roman import that was one of our favorite new restaurants of 2023—has two private dining spaces where you can throw back bowls of classic pastas. The downstairs room has space for 34 people to eat a six-course meal. But if wine is your focus, book their cellar, a smaller, more intimate space.
