It's on 2 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
Robert De Niro probably needs to introduction. The famous actor has a big presence in the city’s dining scene. He’s responsible for several celebrity-owned restaurants in NYC, most famously the Tribeca Grill, which opened in 1990. The joint is best known for upscale American cuisine and swanky ambiance, not to mention a top-notch wine list.
But the party doesn’t stop there. De Niro also co-owns Nobu, a popular Japanese restaurant locals can’t get enough of, the restaurant is a hotbed for celebrity sightings. Seems like nobody can resist Nobu’s signature black cod with miso.
Additionally, the Oscar winner has a stake in the Greenwich Hotel, which is home to Locanda Verde, a charming Italian restaurant. Needless to say, there’s no shortage of De Niro-owned restaurants to dine at while visiting NYC.
Locals Tip. Laconda Verde is also home to some of the best brunch in Tribeca.
Co-owned by restaurateur Drew Nieporent and famous actor Robert De Niro, Tribeca Grill has been one of the best restaurants in Tribeca since 1990.
Housed in a historic 19th-century building, the restaurant boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by its extensive wine cellar featuring over 2,000 selections. In fact, every year since 2002, Tribeca Grill has won the Grand Award from Wine Spectator Magazine (which is a big deal in the wine world!).
In terms of food, the menu, curated by Chef Scott Burnett, is a celebration of seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, showcasing a diverse range of flavors that cater to every palate.
