Though culinary trends may come and go in NYC, the great American steak and seafood house has remained a staple amongst the discerning palates of New Yorkers. Though they have evolved over the years to include more seafood, Asian or Italian options and variations, there is something satisfying about devouring a juicy aged cut of beef. Here are some of our favorite steakhouses in the city.
Tuscany Steakhouse
Tuscany Steakhouse is Manhattan's newest midtown steakhouse helmed by Steven Palm, an owner at the Upper East Side's Italian staple, Il Munello, and chef Jamie, who has experience in some of New York's premier Italian restaurants and top steakhouses. The dining space has a cozy Italian trattoria vibe with arched bleached exposed brick walls, tufted dark leather chairs, terracotta tiled floors, and a painted bucolic mural of the Italian countryside as a backdrop. Melding their culinary experience, the menu features traditional Italian dishes and classic steakhouse favorites. Choose from expertly prepared old-school gems such as sizzling extra-thick bacon, baked clams oreganata, Caesar salad, classic steakhouse wedge, or a cold seafood tower to start. Authentic Italian pastas round out the menu with delicious choices, such as linguini fra diavolo with lobster, linguine seafood with spicy marinara sauce, or linguine alla vongole. The specialty of the house is the selection of succulent dry-aged USDA steaks ranging from bone-in ribeye steak to a porterhouse or a veal chop that has been dried in their signature aging box. Tuscany Steakhouse is a testament to the appeal of the traditional steakhouse to multi-generational patrons who are looking for crowd-pleasing favorites executed to perfection in a convivial atmosphere with excellent service.
