Elegant dining in a marble-and-mahogany palace setting is delivered by Del Posto, the first Italian restaurant to get a 4-star review from The New York Times. The eater.com critic went so far as to call it "America's High Church of Pasta." The all-star team behind this "temple of Italian cooking" is Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich, Lidia Bastianich and partner/Executive Chef Mark Ladner. Dinner menus are $149 and $170 (wine pairings extra), but a three-course pre-fix lunch for $49 is served weekdays.
