Lower East Side, Manhattan ยท restaurant
The soaring Puck Building dining room and jacketed waitstaff set a high bar, and Torrisi's food clears it comfortably. Chanterelle penne in butter sauce, tuna with pickled caponata, and an affogato served in an oversized martini glass with espresso granita all feel as polished as the room around them. Michelin-starred, adults-only, and one of the city's toughest reservations, though bar seats remain the best bet for last-minute diners.
