"Ed Cotton, who was a runner-up in the finals of Bravo’s Top Chef season 7, and worked in the kitchens of Daniel Boulud, Laurent Tourondel, and David Burke before opening Jack & Charlie’s No.118 in the West Village, unveiled Leonetta earlier this week at 181 Lexington Avenue, in Murray Hill. The restaurant, designed to feel like a seaside villa, will focus on shareable small plates and spreads, a raw bar, pastas, and charcoal-grilled seafood and meats. Among the highlights are black truffle mafaldine, crispy pork shank shawarma, and grilled branzino." - Emma Orlow
