The team behind SoHo's beloved King has headed uptown to Rockefeller Center with Jupiter. The bright dining room boasts a bar counter and open kitchen, while green lacquered chairs, tiled columns and upholstered nooks set a sophisticated tone.
The menu is clearly defined and concise. Starters include a wonderfully hearty mozzarella plate arranged with crushed chickpeas and roasted radicchio. The delightful pasta offerings include luscious strands of spaghetti alle vongole and paccheri verdi dressed with a light-bodied sugo of slow-roasted pork, sage and lemon zest. Desserts, like the creamy, quivering panna cotta with Amarena cherries; and cocktails, such as the negroni sbagliato bianco, round out the enticing experience here.
