L'Artusi

This sequel to the popular dell’anima strives to deliver more than its precursor, with buttoned-up Ralph Lauren–inspired decor and pristinely presented small plates like squid ink pasta and a raw spin on vitello tonnato (veal topped with tender cubes of tuna). The upscale trattoria's larger dishes offer a homey quality, including a comforting buckwheat tagliatelle with brussels sprouts and fontina. Sip from the pages-long wine list or snag a bottle of the fan-favorite house wine, which puts all other table reds to shame.
