Tour stop audio transcript

Il Cantinori opened its doors in 1983, and has been at the forefront of Tuscan cuisine in New York City ever since. Our original chef (Antonio Cinardi) is still with us, as are many of our employees. Owned by Steve Tzolis, Nicola Kotsoni (of Periyali and Bar Six), and Frank Minieri, the restaurant continues to beat the odds. An ever-changing menu is one key ingredient of this success. While staying true to many of Tuscany’s “classic” dishes, the restaurant maintains an ever-growing database of innovative preparations that change with the seasons. With a great deal of history behind us, we are able to select literally hundreds of recipes that have served us well in the past, as well as staying in step with the times. The Italians have a saying: “Use the best possible ingredients, and do as little with them as possible”. That is been a part of our” secret”. Tuscan cuisine is healthy cuisine.
