$86 prix fixe: 3 courses, wine pairing, coffee/tea, tax & tip

Join us in Midtown for Italian cuisine directly inspired by owner and executive chef Jay B. Mitchell’s hundreds of visits to Italy. “The trick, I believe,” wrote a reporter for Short and Sweet NYC, “is when combining local produce with unmatchable Italian staples, Gente manages to produce the essence of a ‘local’ Italian dining experience in a neighborhood notorious for grab-and-go commuter clientele”. Note: Aaron will be hosting this dinner.
