"Half of the draw at Lincoln Ristorante is the avant-garde Diller Scofidio + Renfro space, with giant floor to ceiling windows propped up against a sloped lawn roof. There is where you go to enjoy a $17 negroni and look out over the Eero Saarinen-designed Vivian Beaumont Theatre. This is also where you also go for respectable pastas, even though the heralded tenure of chef Jonathan Benno ended long ago. Consider the trofie with Tuscan sausage and Calabrian chiles; also try the paccheri with short rib and black truffle when it’s available as an (excellent) special." - Ryan Sutton
