Trattoria Cinque (CLOSED)

Iconic images from 1960s Italy dominate the room at this lofty, retro Tribeca restaurant. Each section of the menu contains five dishes that the chef, Mirco Grassini (Alfredo of Rome), considers Italy’s most important. Among the five appetizers is a Caesar salad (technically invented in Mexico, but who’s counting?) made to-order in the dining room, while the quintet of entrées includes simply prepared dishes like roasted halibut with cherry tomatoes and olives.
