Arrosto

The newly renovated space, which will seat 230, has a sleek curved bar and a mix of booths and tables, plus counter seating near the homey centerpiece of the room: a woodburning oven and grill. A back room with a fireplace and white tablecloths will offer a quieter, more romantic atmosphere. There will also be seating for 50 outside, on South Regent Street.

The menu is traditional Italian “with a twist,” says Polistina, which means an emphasis on farm-to-table with lots of fresh pasta, homemade pizzas, roasted and grilled fish, poultry and meat, and a variety of small plates, such as Arancini with Spiced Sottocenere Cheese; Crab Crostini with Lardo & Chili Oil and Fritters with Fennel Pollen & Mortadella.
