The Scene
Pescatore is really two restaurants sharing a common menu and kitchen. The first has a more formal feel with tablecloths, gilded mirrors and red velvet banquettes. At its counterpart one door uptown, a downtown decor of brick walls, wooden tables and sexy amber lighting attracts a younger set.
 
The Food
The Italian menu has almost-limitless variations on staple dishes, creating an offering that rivals a Chinese restaurant in its vast number of choices. The most pleasing dishes are often the most simple, like the beef carpaccio with Parmesan, pizza bianca and toothsome osso buco. Whatever you order, be sure to come hungry, as doggy bags seem to be the norm. But do save room for homemade ricotta cheesecake or tiramisu, both of which are very compelling.
