Chris Painter talks Il Pittore
Filed Under: Chef Salad | Openings
Chris Painter, culinary director for Stephen Starr, just shared a few preliminary details with Meal Ticket regarding Il Pittore, his low-key restaurant in the Third-and-Bainbridge space that was Ansill. Painter says he will head to Italy in September "to get the research down" [read: eat tons of insane food], flying into Rome and working his way northwest through Tuscany and ending up around Milan. This provides some insight into what might end up on the menu at Painter's restaurant, which will have a liquor license and will feature roughly the same amount of seats that Ansill did — expect plenty of dishes based around delicate Northern-style egg noodles (tagliatelle, pappardelle), all of which will be whipped up in-house.
Though it'll also have an extruder in-house to crank out other fresh-made pastas, the restaurant, which is aiming for a November opening, will not put out any dishes reminiscent of Angelina, the defunct Chestnut Street Starr spot where Painter wowed plenty with his handmade pastas. (Friend of Meal Ticket Felicia D still talks about them to this day.) "Angelina was a different time," says Painter. "It's a smaller restaurant, so it's going to be a smaller menu. I want to stay pretty authentic here."
