First Look: Ristorante Aglio
It’s not often you find a restaurant group that excels at what they do. Let’s face it: fusion makes cuisine that much harder to pull off. From the same peeps that brought Greenwich Grill and Sushi Azabu spawns Ristorante Aglio. Where? On 277 Church Street. Yes, you read right. On a street riddled with misses [ahem, Stuzzicheria, Da Mikele, Kori, Matsugen (R.I.P.)], the odds are highly stacked against them. Primarily known for car traffic vs pedestrian traffic, you have to give people a reason to walk this street. How does Aglio rank?

L: Garlic Scapes, R: Milkweed Buds & Blossoms (Wild Food Gatherers Guild)
UPDATE JUN13: After hearing so many good things about this market, we finally made it over there. This place is not to be confused with Fulton Street Market, which is two blocks South. Both Markets are outside, but the New Amsterdam Market was a feast for the senses, so much that we couldn’t leave empty handed. From Blue Bottle Coffee to Luke’s Lobster to Farm to Table Vegetables to Lavender Kombucha, many items were hard to resist. PICS HERE | JEFF COOKS FARM TO TABLE DINNER
