Best Italian (expensive)

We named Quattro Gastronomia Italiana Best New York Switcheroo this year -- a little snafu on our part because the NYC location closed shortly thereafter. We are happy to report the brothers, chefs Nicola and Fabrizio Carro, continue to man the kitchen at the most upscale Italian restuarant on Lincoln Road. They import a large percentage of ingredients from their homeland, ensuring beautiful olive oils, fatty hams, and the best seasonal truffle cart in town. The wine list is all Italian, as is the northern-bent cuisine. Piedmont is known for rich, creamy sauces (and lots of truffles), and the Carro twins do not disappoint. Exhibit A: The porcini ravioli comes dressed in a decadent porcini truffle sauce ($22). You'll find everything from shrimp to aged goat cheese in risotto of the day (rice is another Piedmontese specialty -- they grow a ton of it). From a traditional veal saltimboca ($36) to the orata steamed in white wine with olives and capers ($30), the menu is truly Italian.
