Landmarc

This intimate TriBeCa restaurant is too good to be considered just a neighborhood joint. Chef/owner Marc Murphy has put his own spin on this Italian/French rendition of a bistro. You’ll find excellent smoked mozzarella and ricotta fritters alongside escargots bordelaise. You can mix and match cuisines. Try the pasta of the day accompanied by mussels with a choice of sauce—Provençal, Dijonnaise, or the comforting blend of shallots, parsley, and white wine. Steaks and chops are cooked over an open fire and the steaks are offered with a variety of sauces; I had the hangar with a shallot bordelaise that complemented the meat perfectly. What keeps the neighbors pouring in, along with the excellent food, are the affordable wines sold, not by the glass, but by the bottle or half-bottle. Desserts are simple, small, and priced that way, with none more than $4. For a special treat, ask for the cotton candy. Landmarc also has an uptown location, at the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle ([tel] 212/823-6123).
