Il Tesoro
Why You'll Love It
From Italian-born and trained chefFresh, seasonal ingredientsSophisticated ambianceStriped bass over risotto limone. Short ribs and caramelized leeks. Ricotta cheesecake. There’s no map necessary to discover chef A.J. Black’s culinary treasures (and it won’t be much of a hunt). Every bite—from the antipasto to the dolces—is infused with the fresh flavors of his native Italy.
Benvenuti! Fresco-painted walls and a bustling open kitchen greet each guest. The dining room? Glamorous. The dishes? Divine. Add that authentic Italian hospitality, and we can see why Black’s Upper East Side eatery is named Il Tesoro (“the treasure”).
