Ten wines at Del Posto

By Tim Atkin

With its long cocktail bar, high ceilings and candle-lit staircase, Del Posto is as stylish an Italian restaurant as you’ll find in New York. It opened only six years ago, but this ambitious project in the Meatpacking District feels much more established than that. It’s smart and jazzy, but relaxed too.

Its owner, Joe Bastianich, was born into the New York food-and-wine world (his mother, Lidia, created Felidia on the East Side), but has developed extensive business interests of his own, including 20 restaurants, cookbooks and three wineries in Italy.
