Bobby D’s New Tribeca Trattoria

The Godfather: Part II. The Empire Strikes Back. Harold & Kumar 2.

Everyone likes a predictably good sequel.

You know the players, you know the directors, and you like the plot. And so it’s a pleasure to present to you Ago Restaurant, the next hot Manhattan eatery from the all-star team of executive chef/partner Agostino Sciandri and Robert De Niro. Best known for its authentic Tuscan-style Italian fare, Ago first opened in West Hollywood ten years ago to impressive reviews and a loyal celebrity clientèle.

A decade of fine dining experience later, Ago New York has arrived. Located in De Niro’s new Greenwich Hotel, Ago boasts interiors featuring a gorgeous stone fireplace and a ceiling made of 90,000 wine-bottle corks, yet it’s the food that stars.

Start with a signature appetizer, like the Carpaccio di Manzo e Regianno, paper-thin slices of carpaccio with baby artichokes and Parmesan cheese, Burrata con Fagiolini, made-in-Italy, creamy mozzarella with green beans and extra virgin olive oil, or a simple, perfect pizza. Unwind with a Peach Martini and indulge in the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a Certified Angus Beef 22 oz. T-bone steak with rosemary potatoes cooked in a wood-burning oven.

Dinner here is first-rate.

So is the dolci.


Ago opens for dinner to the public today (4/1).
