THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Amalia Restaurant Review:

THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS CLOSED Situated in a former carriage house in Midtown, this chic eatery boasts a menu that criss-crosses the Mediterranean, from the Bosporus Strait to the Strait of Gibraltar. The erratically designed, multi-level space (including a cavernous basement lounge), bedecked with stone walls, glass partitions between rooms, and a ceiling partially crammed with gilded framed Baroque paintings, speaks of the dozens of culinary traditions represented on the menu. Start with duck confit-stuffed dates or the robust goat cheese and eggplant lasagnette, before moving on to one of a dozen or so entrées---from lamb osso buco to Niman Ranch calf’s liver (served with a creamy polenta) to juicy Mediterranean sea bass. One standout is the chorizo-stuffed chicken breast, served with a romesco sauce and toasted almonds.
