Marc Vetri's destination Italian tasting room — a James Beard winner running a multi-course menu in an intimate Washington Square West townhouse, where the cooking sits at the highest level of Italian fine dining in America. The spinach gnocchi is a longtime signature; the wine cellar is one of the deepest in the country; the format demands commitment to the full experience. Vetri has spent decades treating Italian cuisine with the technical rigor most American kitchens reserve for French tradition. For Italian tasting-menu dining at its most ambitious.
