ELEGANCE WITHOUT ATTITUDE: Those who know me know that Vetri has been my favorite restaurant ever since Marc Vetri and Jeff Benjamin opened it about a decade ago, especially for special occasions, and that I was v. excited about Osteria, their attempt at a bigger, more casual spin on rustic, game-centered Italian cooking. So, while I wish them all the success in the world (and the Benjamins are friends and neighbors now), I didn't need the NYT's Frank Bruni to invite hordes of New Yorkers down here to try them out.

Just take a look at the Vetri dinner menu. I've never had a bad dish there.

[In other culinary news, the Times also discovers poutine today.]
