TUCCI, NoHo's buzzy Italian hotspot and sister restaurant to the iconic Delmonico's, celebrates tradition and taste. Americans traveled to Italy in droves this summer, and it continues to be an international hotspot this fall. I personally make it a point to visit at least once or twice a year, but so far, in 2024, I haven’t had a chance to go.

However, at TUCCI, I get my Italy fix. A visit here is like a trip to the country, with its authentic cuisine, vivid flavors and drinks to match. If you don’t live in New York and can’t visit TUCCI to get a taste- literally- of the experience I’m talking about, you can do it in your own kitchen.
