Curtain Closing on Del Posto's Enoteca?


del_posto.jpg I have said it before and I will say it again - Del Posto's Enoteca is the best kept secret in New York.

Reservations? You can make them on the same day. The menu? A sampling of the food available from the regular dining menu - at a fraction of the cost. Prix fixe menus are also available, with $45 scoring you a starter, pasta, entree and dessert. The best part? you get the same wonderful service, and sit in the same majestic dining room as diners shelling out hundreds for the same meal. Sure, you are seated to the side of the bar area, but its hard to complain when sitting in a restaurant this jaw-droppingly beautiful. (And you still have just as good a chance that Lidia Bastianich will make a personal visit to your table!)

So imagine my dismay today, when buzz on the food blogs indicates that team Batali/Bastianich is thinking of eliminating the Enoteca altogether, and making it simply a champagne bar. Word is that the owners feel this will aid them in earning the 4 star rating they've been pursuing since opening the restaurant early last year.

My recommendation? Get yourself to Del Posto's Enoteca before its too late.
