The perfect pick-me-up for the coldest month of the year is almost here. Next week, over 100 Italian restaurants will participate in New York City's annual Restaurant Week.
This year's lineup of Italian restaurants represents all five boroughs and an array of cuisines, from Milanese fine dining at Casa Lever to family-style Southern Italian spreads at Mario's in the Bronx. The list also includes a few pizzerias.
The program runs from January 25 - 31 with an optional extension through February 7. Restaurants will offer prix-fixe menus of an entrée and a side for both lunch and dinner in a to-go format. The set price is $20.21. Mastercard holders can expect additional savings.
Fred Dixon, the president and CEO of NYC & Company, shared a gentle reminder about the critical timing of the festival.
“Restaurants and restaurant workers need our support now more than ever, so it was important to us that all eateries across the five boroughs had the opportunity to participate in this program aimed at increasing local support,” said Fred Dixon, President and CEO of NYC & Company. “We are thrilled that more than 570 restaurants have signed on, and we are grateful to each of them for coming together to showcase NYC’s world-class cuisine during this reimagined NYC Restaurant Week. And to New Yorkers we say make plans to do your part - order often and be generous with gratuities.”
Here are the participating New York City Italian restaurants. Make sure to reserve in advance and buon appetito!
