Chef Stefano Secchi, an alum of famed Italy restaurant Osteria Francescana, has gifted New York with one of its best Italian restaurants in years, serving up hearty (but rarely heavy) a la carte specialties from the butter-and-cheese-loving region of Emilia-Romagna. The $90 pasta tasting is a smart move, showing off rich preparations like tortellini en brodo, and a tagliatelle bolognese packing a profound, perception-altering meatiness. Indoor or outdoor seating is available, in addition to takeout and delivery services. Real Cost: At least $125 per person a la carte, or more for the pasta tasting.

Danny Meyer and chef Mike Anthony’s Michelin-starred staple has reopened for a la carte outdoor and indoor dining. Gone are the longer tasting menus — for now at least.

Erik Ramirez’s creative take on Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei fare initially made Llama San one of the city’s toughest-to-get-into restaurants with tables for two regularly booking up a month out. Amid the COVID-19 era, however, reservations are easier to come by. Diners will encounter visually striking and delicious compositions like scallops with cherimoya and shiso flowers, chicken-stuffed maki rolls with walnut sauce (a clever take on aji de gallina), or Iberico pork tonkotsu with green udon. Indoor or outdoor seating is available, in addition to takeout and delivery services. Real Cost: At least $125 per person before for a four-course a la carte meal with wine.

Simone Tong and Emmeline Zhao, who ran the excellent and erstwhile Little Tong Noodle Shop in the East Village, have returned to the restaurant scene with this ambitious culinary ode to their Chinese and American backgrounds.

Sean Gray and Su Wong Ruiz’s Momofuku restaurant now offers la carte pickup, delivery, and outdoor dining, a stark change for the two Michelin-starred spot, which has traditionally focused its efforts on long and expensive tasting menus at a chef’s counter.

Outdoor patrons can also order a $110, five-course menu, which is much cheaper than the traditional tasting. Real Cost: About $75 per person or more after beverage and tax.

Walk-ins are not currently accepted. Real Cost: About $100 or more per person.
