Abboccato

$$$, Italian, Midtown West

User Rating: ***** 5.0

Fodor's Review:

Making an attempt to convey the vast regional styles of Italian cooking, Abboccato is an ambitious restaurant in a cellarlike space adjacent to the Blakely Hotel. The name, which means "pleasing to the mouth," lives up to that assertion with rich dishes like suckling pig cooked in milk and hazelnuts, accented with black truffles and chanterelle mushrooms. Another favorite is ravioli filled with butternut squash and duck prosciutto in sage-and-brown butter sauce.

All 5s for everything about Abboccato. The best Bolognese sauce and other interesting, excellent dishes to choose from. The desserts were also excellent.

Can I Lick the Dish?

That's what my wife said after finishing the Panna Cotta dessert. Not that we weren't already satiated from the wonderful special appetizer, gnocchi as a primo, and snapper as secundi. What a fabulous place! Every bit 5-star.

Loved the atmosphere, the very attentive and friendly service, and especially the food. Every entree was right on. The Panacata (sp) dessert was the highlight of our very enjoyable evening. Excellent selection of Italian wines. Will be one of our top restaurants in NYC.
