What began as a raucous eighties-style grand café has mellowed over two decades into a trusted American classic with Alfred Portale relentlessly pursuing perfection in the kitchen. Settle into a cocoon of informal but informed service. Then, depending on the season, rediscover Portale’s discipline in a lush risotto with sweet turnips and duck confit, or in seared yellowfin propped against pappardelle rolled around caponata in which each vegetable is like a jewel.
