Rubirosa
There are only a few restaurant teams that can rival Rubirosa's, which was created by nightlife impresario Angelo Bianchi, along with Angelo and Giuseppe Pappalardo of Joe & Pat's. The father-son Pappalardo's deliver some of the finest home-style Italian food in New York, but it's Bianchi's presence that has created such a buzz ever since it opened. With experience working at
Beatrice Inn and
The Jane, Bianchi first draws in the cool kids associated with those spots, then keeps them there by serving the most delicate pasta and pizza.
