Review:
A wall of glass lets L'Amico’s dining room be awash with light, and the ceiling beams and the many green plants give it lovely rustic vibe. It is comfortable and spacious, tucked into the lobby of the Avanti Hotel in Chelsea, but it is not the décor that draws people in large numbers – it is what comes out of the wonderful wood-fired copper ovens – spectacular pizzas and delightful pastas.
Owner/chef Laurent Tourondel has a lovely surprise for those of his fans who want to celebrate Christmas Eve at L’Amico – he is offering a five-course meal with wine pairing containing such delights as parmesan sformato with wild mushroom marsala duxelle and seafood stracci with sea urchin, rock shrimp, blue crab, and roe butter. Every course has fine selected wine to go with it.
L'Amico, 849 Avenue of the Americas, Eventi Hotel, New York City, NY 10001-4101, Phone: 212-201-4065
