The Hottest New Restaurants That Opened in February 2023 | Bon Appétit

"A maximalist ode to Italian-American dining that spares no theatricality—think full-size fountains, trompe l’oeil mosaics, bold banquettes, and over-the-top décor—paired with an exuberant, genre-bending menu. Offerings range from playful starters like pepperoni ‘roni cups with ranch to luxurious pastas such as Calabrian campanelle with whole roast lobster, a steak topped with cacio e pepe, indulgent small plates like black truffle honey whipped ricotta and roasted garlic babka, and tableside theatrics like a flaming Vesuvius Bowl cocktail." - ByKate Kassin
