Rich Torrisi's 2022 relaunch of the Torrisi name at the landmark Puck Building reads as Carbone's grown-up sibling — same Major Food Group lineage, same Italian-American DNA, but the volume is hushed and the captains wear pressed linen rather than tuxedoes. The kitchen earned its first Michelin star in 2023 and has retained it through both the 2025 and 2026 NYC guides; the John Slover-led wine program took Wine Spectator's Best of Award 2025, and the room landed on both North America's 50 Best 2026 and the New York Times' 100 Best NYC. Stanford White's 1880s landmark room was restored at serious expense; the menu pivots on dover sole Francese and sauteed-chanterelle penne against a 1,200-bottle Italian wine list. For studied Italian-American at the format's most credentialed end — Carbone's lineage at half the volume.
