One of the biggest fall openings on the docket this season is finally upon us. Danny Meyer's Roman bar and trattoria Maialino, his first high end restaurant to open since The Modern in '05, debuts tonight at 5:30 PM. A recap of the earlier preview for those who missed it: the former Wakiya space has been reinvented by Meyer and David Rockwell as a bright, cream and wood accented new space with a 55 seat bar at the front (with its own casual menu), a more formal 70 seat dining area in the back, a salumi and pastry station in between, and a 22 seat pdr in the far rear. The fare: authentic Roman but with Greenmarket and New York influences. For now she's open Mon - Sat for dinner but will eventually be open on Sundays and every day for breakfast and lunch. The resy line is here, 212-777-2410, the menu is down below, and for more reading, see here, here, here, here, and here.
