Rivington makes it feel like New York in downtown Milan. This true corner of the Big Apple in the Lombardy capital has one of the city's most breath-taking views: the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova framed by the room's floor-to-ceiling windows.
The new restaurant is the latest bet from the Hyatt Centric Milan Centrale, the hotel that winks at fashion and design and is popular for its panoramic and rooftop ORGANICS SkyGarden.
A made-in-NYC culinary and sensory journey
An intimate setting with a retro allure is created by a jazzy atmosphere, candlelight, portraits of Italo-American personalities who have helped make New York great, and a view that spans the sparkling lights of the city’s skyscrapers. Rivington's philosophy is based on traditional classic and iconic New York dishes revisited in a modern key, with the kitchen helmed by chef Guglielmo Giudice
Classical NY eats with a new twist
Raw fish from the Raw Bar and the famous Oyster Rockefeller steamed oysters served with spinach and creamy Pecorino cheese, the Waldorf Salad, revisited with the addition of gorgonzola, and the steak tartare prepared at the table are just some of the recommendations. The second courses are inspired by old New York chophouses where you can sample the typical Surf & Turf fillet mignon with lobster, a hearty NY Striploin, or a classic Dover Sole à la Meunière. Not to be overlooked is the Vanderblit Hamburger, a tribute and synthesis of the famous cheeseburger, and desserts are a modern take on mid-century classics like the iconic New York-style cheesecake. The cocktail menu is given special attention. After all a perfectly prepared Martini is the promise of a perfect evening!
High-flying names in the restaurant world
Rivington was developed in collaboration with Jeffrey Tascarella, the well-known New York hotel entrepreneur who has opened iconic New York venues such as the award-winning NoMad and Scarpetta Italian restaurant. Tascarella, along with partner Chris Lowder - one of the world's most sought-after and awarded consultants in the high-end bar sector - collaborated with Chef Giudice, first in Milan and then in Manhattan, to recreate authentic New York cuisine.
Something new and exciting for Milan
"We wanted to bring something new to Milan,- says Andrea Pallavicini, General Manager of the Hyatt Centric Milan Centrale, - a true New York-style restaurant with refined cuisine and extremely high-quality ingredients. The name Rivington comes from Rivington Street on the Lower East Side, where many Italian immigrants started their new lives.”
Rivington's entrance is located in Via G.B. Pirelli 20, and customers have access via a dedicated elevator that catapults them into the heart of Manhattan. The venue is open every evening at 19.30. Call 348 968 7419 for information and reservations.
