Del Posto
Culinary moguls Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich bring high-end glamour to the Meatpacking District with Del Posto, a 24,000-square-foot Italian restaurant. Well-spaced tables line the multilevel interior, which is furnished with marble floors, a baby grand piano, and a dramatic central staircase. Including complimentary amuses-bouches and tableside meat-carving ceremonies, the Del Posto experience is ideal for special occasions. The menu features inventive interpretations of Italian classics, with favorites including the spaghetti with Dungeness crab and sliced jalapeño and the chocolate ricotta tortino (pie) with olive oil gelato. The prix fixe menus, including a relatively affordable lunchtime option, are especially popular.
