Rank 2. Cenadou
Modern French
A bright, plant-framed room lined with royal blue chairs and dark wood, where French bistro foundations meet Provençal sensibility. Poached vegetables arrive with warm aioli, lamb rack sits atop smoked eggplant purée, and the baba au rhum gets its theatrical finish tableside—traditions refined rather than abandoned.

Rank 4. Kanopi
Portuguese Mediterranean
-
Rank 5. Café Alaia
Italian
At Café Alaia in Scarsdale, exposed beams and a double-height ceiling frame two long, narrow rooms that hum with easy conversation. House-made tortellini float in silken chicken broth; salmon arrives pan-seared with mustard sauce and market vegetables. It's the kind of Italian cooking that trades novelty for the comfort of things done well.
-
Rank 6. OKO
Asian
The chef interprets Japanese cuisine through his own lens in a light-filled room where locals gather at a welcoming bar beneath soaring ceilings. An open kitchen sends out creative takes on nigiri, tempura, and hot dishes—miso black cod and crab-pork dumplings anchor a menu that rewards improvisation.

Rank 11. Don Antonio
Neapolitan Pizza
A wood-fired outpost of a Neapolitan institution, Don Antonio channels four generations of pizza-making into dishes like the Montanara Starita—fried dough topped with house tomato sauce, smoked mozzarella, and basil—and frittatine, where fried spaghetti scraps meet ham and Buffalo mozzarella. The kitchen's lineage shows in every char and fold.

Rank 12. Four Twenty Five
Contemporary
Benno and Vongerichten's Park Avenue dining room floods with daylight and restraint, a glamorous stage for cooking that roams Italy, France, and Asia without apology. A foie gras arrives with blood orange and warm spiced madeleines; even asparagus reads as a statement, while the chocolate tart at meal's end—layered with black cardamom and tonka—justifies its prominence.

Rank 16. Bohemian Spirit
Czech Eastern European
A Czech beer hall on the ground floor of the National Bohemian Hall, all wood paneling and vintage charm, where borscht arrives fragrant with dill and tangy precision, kielbasa smoke hangs above potato salad, and strawberry dumplings with gingerbread crumble close the meal. The pilsners are there, naturally, and the wine list leans European—a straightforward temple to hearty, old-world eating.
-
Rank 17. Sempre Oggi
Italian
The dining room sprawls across the Upper West Side like a gallery, all soaring ceilings and gilded sculpture. Sempre Oggi executes the Italian canon—house-made rigatoni with guanciale and roasted tomato, calamari brightened with herbs and crème fraîche—with enough precision to justify the grandeur, while a properly fluffy tiramisu closes things out with classical comfort.
