Out of the 160 seats, only eight comprise the omakase counter where guests shell out $120 for the chef's tasting menu and a front row seat of the action. 

Lower Manhattan

Del Posto

Bronza and marble decor, a dramatic central staircase and valet parking make it feel palatial. Warm lighting, orange curtains and a balcony lounge make it intimate. It'll take repeat visits to fully wrap your mind around the massive menu (which also includes a separate 10-course tasting menu), a mix of traditional and modern eclectic Italian.
