Profile
Ten years ago, Robert De Niro teamed up with the Weinstein brothers (Harvey and Bob), the Scott brothers (Tony and Ridley), and a host of other film-industry machers to back Agostino Sciandri in his West Hollywood restaurant, Ago (pronounced AH-go, not a-GO). Later this week, De Niro unveils the New York outpost, situated, like the South Beach and Vegas spinoffs that preceded it, inside a hotel—the Greenwich, De Niro’s own eight-floor, 88-room joint venture with the hoteliers behind the Mercer and Chambers. The most striking features of the wood-beamed, terra-cotta-tiled design are the stone fireplace and the ceiling installation of an alleged 90,000 wine-bottle corks, and the menu features Sciandri’s signature pizzas and bistecca alla fiorentina, both cooked in the wood-burning oven. Pastas are a given. “Spaghetti with clams is definitely one of De Niro’s favorites,” Sciandri once told Food & Wine, “but I’ve never seen him finish a whole plate. He likes to pick.”
