Dining room at Insieme, New York, NYLocated in The Michelangelo hotel, Insieme offers a soothing interior, demarcated by willowy dividers separating booths and neutral tones. The kitchen foregoes the usual Italian menu sections of "antipasti," "primi" and "secondi" by splitting the offerings in two. One side of the menu is devoted to Italian standards, the other to more contemporary fare. The option of picking and choosing vastly improves the meal. Start with the classic, delicate baby beef tartare, mixed with porcini mushroom. The contemporary side of the menu doesn’t disappoint, either. The lamb, done as a chop, saddle, sausage and breast with morels and spring peas and lavender is a delight: each cut is well executed and bursts with flavor, complementing the morels. Sea urchin risotto topped with bonito flakes is seasonal but one of Insieme’s best dishes---a complete taste of the ocean in every bite---and the black olive fettuccine and spinach lasagna are equally enjoyable. The accessible wine list, an extensive selection of Italian wines, is peppered with clever touches like bullet points.
