After 22 years, Paolo Alavian has closed his iconic Soho restaurant "Savore" and replaced it with Altesi Downtown. Altesi Downtown is outpost of Altesi Madison, his Upper East Side townhouse restaurant. Locally sourced seasonal ingredients will be used in traditional Italian dishes, which will be served alongside small plates including Salumi and cheese platter served on cutting boards, panini and pizza from the wood-fired oven. Like its sister concept, Altesi Downtown offers Aperitivo (cocktails served with Hors D'Oeuvres) and A2Go - a lunchbox-style selection of panini, water/soda and small cookies.

Lovely evening with friends. The food, service and ambiance were all great. If I have anything negative to say it is only that choices for vegetarians for dinner are limited - but what there is - in addition to pastas and pizza - are wonderfully prepared and delicious.

I have been there a few times for lunched and I'm amazed it's not packed everyday. The food is awesome and the service couldn't be any better! I hope people wake up to this place because they are missing out on this gem.

Food was gross. It was hard to understand the waiter and he could not hear us either. The value was terrible for the price. We will not go back!
