What's a chef to do after running the kitchen at one of the top French restaurants in the country? Why, return to his native Italian roots, of course. After spending six years as Thomas Keller's right-hand man at Per Se, Jonathan Benno did just that when he joined with the Patina Group to helm this handsome new Italian restaurant, part of the ongoing renovation of Lincoln Center. Now diners can precede a performance of Tosca with a feast that includes a terrine of oxtail, foie gras and beef tongue served with giardiniera and a mustard seed agro-dolce; spaghetti with bottarga, capers, Taggiasca olives and bread crumbs; or Hampshire pork loin with black kale, farro and a sage sauce.
