Bianchetto

Italian$

Glide past a gold curtain in chef Joe Vargetto’s restaurant Mister Bianco to find Bianchetto, where lighting is scandalously dim, tablecloths are crisp white and one wall is illuminated by projections of golden-age Italian films. Aperitivo hour is sorted with Americanos mixed tableside on a dedicated trolley, and salty Sicilian snacks by the bowlful.
