Celebrity Choice Review
Mandy Gonzalez (Nina in In the Heights) chooses: Il Punto Ristorante
Mandy’s dish pick: Timballo
Walking distance to Javits Convention Center, Madison Square Garden and theatres, Il Punto is Tony Pecora’s celebrated “contemporary on the outside, old world inside” home of “old-fashioned” recipes. Co-executive chef Michele Orsino says, “Patrons appreciate our pride in what we do.” He and co-executive chef Mauro Andrade use fresh imported ingredients. “Everything, even the gelato, is homemade,” adds Andrade.
There’s antipasti, finocchio salad (fennel, orange, berries, balsamic dressing), pasta fagioli soup, tortellini stuffed with monkfish, and to-die-for signature dishes timballo (layers of pasta, béchamel, meat ragout) and pappardelle della selva nera (pasta, pine nuts, amarena, vodka, blueberry grappa, Asiago cheese and mint). Il Punto has wines from throughout Italy, ten by the glass as well as a quaint bar.
