From David, of The Beacon and The Bell and Anchor, Sag Harbor:

Why Il Buco, NYC

I’ve known founder Donna for years, so Il Buco has always had a place in my heart. I took over the wine cellar there for a big birthday — 17 of us around a long table. I barely remember the night, except that it was incredible. The food is always delicious, the setting is special, and the staff takes really great care of you. It’s rustic, candlelit, old-world in all the best ways.

Inside Tip 📌

Book the wine cellar for something meaningful. It’s a dinner you’ll talk about for years—even if you forget some of it.
