Philotimo

Pandemic delays are in the rear view window for Chef Nicholas Stefanelli's latest venture. Fronted by plate glass windows that reveal its glitzy interior, this corner space is done up with a modern Aegean look that includes polished concrete floors donning rugs for a bit of warmth, seats dressed with linen cushions, an earthy color palette, and woven ceiling pendants that dangle overhead.
The Greek cuisine reflects the chef's heritage and features a contemporary accent. Meals begin and end with carefully crafted dishes that are presented as a prix-fixe. The latter may unveil a choice of pastas like mantia tossed with brown butter; vegetables like wild mushrooms with oregano and feta; and proteins, such as seared daurade with fava bean purée and Swiss chard.
