Plan to celebrate all things Italian with a truly unforgettable dinner for 4 at Alto Restaurant in New York. Named to the 2006 Conde Nast Traveler "Hot List," Alto's name is both a reference to alta cucina (the term for highly refined Italian cuisine) and to the northern third of Italy, from which Executive Chef/Owner - Scott Conant - draws considerable inspiration for Alto's menu.

Scott Conant is rapidly becoming one of America's most beloved and respected chefs. Gracefully balancing the honesty and simplicity of Italy's cucina rustica with the ambitious refined notes of alta cucina, Conant has simultaneously tapped into America's love affair with Italian food and redefined it in pursuit of higher levels of Italian cuisine. Praise for Conant's food has been effusive and unanimous with accolades from The New York Times, Food & Wine, and Gourmet concluding that Conant "raises the roof on the Manhattan school of Italian cooking." With Scott Conant nominated as "Best Chef: New York City" by the prestigious James Beard Foundation in 2005, it is safe to say that dinner at Alto will be one of your most memorable culinary experiences.
