Del Posto

Del Posto offers a high quality dining experience in one of the more impressive indoor dining spaces in New York City. The restaurant offers what they like to describe as a "trans-generational experience:" an expression of the evolution of cuisines, menus, service and ambiance that have characterized the history of the Italian dining experience in this country.

The concept of trans-generationalism is embodied in a cuisine that combines the creativity of contemporary culinary sensibilities with the powerful draw of classic Italian dishes, or "Cucina Classica". The contemporary sensibility puts a premium on the freshness, quality, and novelty of ingredients, and the simple, respectful preparation of these ingredients in a way that showcases their clarity of flavor. "Cucina Classica" finds its roots in the traditional dishes and techniques shared by each region of the Italian peninsula. It represents the food that Italians still eat, that most people in America have come to associate with "Italian" cuisine and that most Americans find highly enjoyable.

Within the scope of "Cucina Classica", the menu strives to highlight the distinctive regional and seasonal variations for which Italian cuisine is celebrated. The Italian-American style of cooking is included under the umbrella of "Cucina Classica", in recognition of its legitimacy as a great cuisine flowing from the Italian tradition.
