Just came across a review of Regional (2607 Broadway, btw. 98/99) on capitalnewyork.com. While it’s a bit lengthy, it’s very positive and kind of makes me want to try it out.

Regional writes that that Chef Andrew Deuel (formerly of the Rainbow Room and Le Cirque 2000) “seems to have that rare ability to create dishes which are at once both heavy and light, robust and delicate, rich and refined. His creations arouse the soul without encumbering the body, due in large part to the fact that he relies on high-quality ingredients. In other words, nothing at Regional seems oily, greasy or overwrought with butter.”

Of particular note is Regional’s weekly “Pasta Night” on Mondays. Pasta dishes that normally range between $14 – $16 are all discounted to $9.

The owners of Regional also own La Giocanda and La Giara, both on the East Side. I went to La Giara a few times when I lived in that area and remember it being pretty good. My dad was a HUGE fan of it.
