Actually, bighound, the owners of San Soucci closed that restaurant and opened Luciano's. It is under the skybridge that connects Bellevue Square to Lincoln Square...used to be the Pallino space.
hey, thanks for the info. i have eaten twice at luciano's but the fact that it was the same owners some how never trickled down to me. that explains alot though.
heartily second seastar and bis on main. i think other good choices are andre's eurasin bistro(ne 20th?) and szechuan chef. unfortunately the best place-san soucci-is now gone.
