Archways and white floor-to-ceiling draperies heighten the dramatic refinement of this upscale Italian restaurant in Tudor City. The prix-fixe Il Mezzogirono menu focuses on Southern regions like Siciliy and Campania (try the braised rabbit-filled ravioli, and roast guinea hen with dandelion greens and pancetta), and bears the imprimatur of former chef Scott Conant, who helped put this Alto cousin on the map—and on many critics' lists of top New York City restaurants.
