Is New York ready for another Italian restaurant? For us at bene the answer is simple. Of course! Gemma, the next-to-impossible-to-reserve Italian restaurant just opened quietly--i.e. unannounced to the public--in the new Bowery Hotel. Taavo Somer's (of Freeman's fame) interior is a lofty, high-ceiling take on the Italian farmhouse. The breezy space is a welcome change from the overcrowded eateries typical of Manhattan. We're sure the food will match up to the surroundings, but we're excited to find out in person.
