Upland, Italian-Inluenced in the Former Manzanilla Space at 345 Park Avenue South in the Flatiron District


Recommended Posts

Had dinner here Friday night (former Manzanilla space).  Fantastic new addition to the Flatiron area.  Collab from Justin Smilie (Il Buco, Barbuto) and Stephen Starr.  The space and menu feels like ABC Kitchen with more of an Italian influence.  Highlights for the apps were the Japanese Mackerel (celeriac, brussels sprouts, pistachio, benton's ham + tangerine) and the Beef Tartare (black trumpet mushroom, puffed farro, anchovy + egg yolk).  Don't miss the Short Rib for Two (loved the shaved horseradish) and Estrella pasta with chicken liver for entrees.  Service was fantastic and Mr. Starr himself was actively working the room.

I had brunch here this past weekend.  The eggs in hell (2 eggs in tomato sauce with a slice of grilled bread) were fine, but nothing special.  However, I was pleasantly surprised by the side that I ordered.  The menu only described it as "mushrooms."   So I expected ordinary mushrooms.  What I got was a side of maitake mushrooms with lightly crispy tops and meaty bodies, with a soft cheese "sauce" (like ricotta) next to them.  I would go back for those mushrooms.
