Estela

"ESTELA MoDERN AMERICAN $$$ Cartina p440 (%212-219-7693; www.estelanyc. com; 47 E Houston St, tra Mulberry St e Mott St, Nolita; portate principali a pranzo $13-30, portate principali a cena $17-39; h17.30-23 dom-gio, 17.30-23.30 ven e sab; bB/D/F/M fermata Broadway-Lafayette St; 6 fermata Bleecker St) L’Estela è uno dei ristoranti più quotati della città, ma a nostro avviso si sta riposando un po’ troppo sugli allori. Il cibo è indubbiamente gustoso, con abbinamenti di sapori che stimolano il palato e la mente, ma il locale è troppo affollato ed è impossibile scambiare due chiacchiere senza invadere le conversazioni dei propri vicini di tavolo; inoltre, le porzioni sono minuscole. Detto ciò, se non vi dispiace mettervi in coda, mangiare gomito a gomito con gli altri avventori e non avete bisogno di portarvi gli avanzi a casa in un doggie bag, preparatevi per un’esperienza culinaria da sogno: piatti come il paté di halibut e ricci di mare ($23) o il gelato di rapa ($12) vi faranno venire l’acquolina in bocca. In occasione del brunch, servito dal venerdì alla domenica, il ristorante fa il tutto esaurito."

"1 Michelin star 2024 Chef Ignacio Mattos This boisterous SoHo alcove is an ideal place to convene with friends over exquisite nibbles and quenching cocktails. The talented chef behind this operation, Ignacio Mattos, is unfaltering and impressively consistent in his creative renditions of such bold and iconic dishes as ricotta dumplings with mushrooms and Pecorino Sardo. The menu also offers an array of shareable plates that changes regularly, but if you spot that delightful risotto special, jump on it. Dinner might kick off with perfect, sashimi-grade tuna accompanied by woodsy black trumpet mushrooms or dramatically plated fried arroz negro scattered with tender squid and hazelnut-studded romesco. A soft and custard-y panna cotta decked out with vinegar, honey and smoked sea salt is an exalted ending."

""Housed on the second floor of a nondescript low-rise, this long, deep and boisterous little SoHo alcove is as downtown New York as ever. It's also an ideal place to convene with friends over exquisite nibbles and quenching cocktails; and regardless of how loud it gets, there is an infectious, omniscient spirit that encourages diners to linger. Maybe that’s because the talented chef behind this operation, Ignacio Mattos, is unfaltering and impressively consistent in his creative renditions of such bold and iconic dishes as ricotta dumplings with mushrooms and Pecorino Sardo. The menu goes on to offer an array of shareable plates that changes regularly, but if you spot that delightful risotto special, jump on it and worry about the calories later. Dinner might kick off with perfect, sashimi-grade tuna accompanied by woodsy black trumpet mushrooms and elevated by a smooth and tart mirin-soy sauce. Your meal may then hit a crescendo, thanks to dramatically plated fried arroz negro scattered with tender squid and hazelnut-studded romesco. A soft and custard-y panna cotta decked out with vinegar, honey and smoked sea salt brings this enticing series of events to an exalted end. ONE STAR.""

"One of the most celebrated restaurants in the United States, Estela is an intimate downtown bistro from chef Ignacio Mattos that can be experienced in many ways, whether it’s a thrilling dinner in the dining room, a leisurely weekend brunch with friends, or a late-night drink at the bustling bar. Since opening in 2013, the restaurant has served several signature dishes that are now considered New York City classics, while always offering guests something new to try. H å op ad den listige trappe til denne summende og skinnende hipster-bar. Også super køkken - alt godt fra markedet (moderne amerikansk Middelhavs-inspireret mad). Medium prisniveau."
