Instead, an oversized martini glass comes packed with vanilla ice cream, mascarpone cream, hot fudge, and espresso granita. One dish I immediately rushed back to eat again was a dessert simply titled “affogato.” A creation of genius pastry chef Stephanie Prida, who has since moved on to esteemed California bakery Manresa Bread, the dessert is absolutely not the traditional espresso-topped ice cream. Despite major sceney vibes-you will want to show up looking hot-the food is creative and surprising and extremely worth setting your Resy alerts for. The restaurant comes from Major Food Group, the behemoth restaurant empire best known for celebrity fave Carbone, but Torrisi is a revival from when the crew was just starting out and Drake (probably) didn’t know they existed. In 2023, if you want to know what it’s like to be at a downtown New York hotspot, head straight to Torrisi. Whether it was a tower of kakigori studded with little treasures, a grapefruit filled with swirls of luscious frozen yogurt, or a just-set pie covered with fresh fruit, these 10 dishes from new restaurants affirmed that in 2023, skipping dessert was never the move. Restaurants are finding their groove again, and desserts-I mean the genuinely exciting, glad-we-didn’t-skip ones-are on the upswing. As our team ate across the country this year in search of the Best New Restaurants of 2023, our commitment to sugar paid off. Still, I’ve remained devoted to dessert, and almost always order something sweet to end my meal.

The past few years haven’t been all sugar and spice for dessert menus. For our list of The 24 Best New Restaurants of 2023, click here.

Throughout the last four decades, The Inn has established a network of local farmers and suppliers whose products represent the best in our region. Much of the produce and herbs used in the restaurant is raised on a small farm on our campus by our Farmer in Residence, Joneve Murphy. Patrick’s approach to cooking, while paying homage to the lawmakers of Classical French Cuisine, reflects a belief in American cuisine today- healthy, eclectic, imaginative, unrestricted by ethnic boundaries and always growing. Whimsical touches such as a rolling cow (named Faira) displaying cheeses invite guests to relax, be themselves, and have fun. The experience evokes a romantic dinner party in a private country house from another era. Dining at The Inn at Little Washington has been likened to performance art with the guest always playing the starring role. Patrick O’Connell’s inspired American cuisine draws admirers from around the world.
