In Midtown Manhattan, steps from Rockefeller Center and Broadway, DelBianco Prime marks Chef Diego Bigucci’s latest triumph. Combining classic Italian elegance with the hearty indulgence of a traditional steakhouse, this sophisticated venue offers a versatile dining experience—ideal for power lunches, intimate dinners, or corporate gatherings.

The menu is a tribute to Northern Italian tradition with a modern steakhouse twist. Begin with crudo selections like branzino with Calabrian chile, chive, croutons, and lemon, or the polpo carpaccio, featuring sun-dried tomato, olives, celery, and lemon. The Fritto Misto dell’Adriatico—a mix of crispy calamari and zucchini—evokes Italy’s Adriatic coast.

Pasta lovers will relish dishes such as Cavatelli alla Vaccinara, a hearty oxtail ragu with sharp pecorino, or Rigatoni all’Aragosta, which pairs lobster with creamy, spicy vodka sauce. Prime cuts include a Bone-In Ribeye, a 24-ounce T-Bone cooked to perfection, and Vitello alla Pizzaiola, a veal chop topped with tomato, mozzarella, and oregano.

Seafood fans have choices like baked whole sea bass and buttery Dover sole, complemented by sides such as broccoli rabe with Calabrian chili and roasted Brussels sprouts with pecorino. Desserts like pistachio panna cotta with berries provide a satisfying finish.

DelBianco Prime’s cocktail program highlights its Midtown roots with vibrant, well-crafted drinks. The “Take Me to Broadway” blends Tito’s vodka, passion fruit, and pineapple for a tropical twist, while “Midnight in Manhattan” features Jameson, sweet vermouth, and green chartreuse. For something bold, the “New York State of Mind” mixes bourbon, cognac, and Grand Marnier, while the refreshing “Miracle of DelBianco” offers tequila, blood orange, and lime.

The restaurant’s design blends modern chic with classic sophistication. A sleek bar on the first floor invites guests to linger over cocktails, while white-topped tables, neutral tones, and hardwood floors create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Upstairs, a coffered ceiling adds grandeur, and private dining options make it ideal for special occasions or professional events.

Located at 423 Madison Avenue, DelBianco Prime is a true culinary destination. From perfectly cooked steaks to hand-crafted pasta and inventive cocktails, DelBianco offers an experience that is quintessentially New York with a distinctly Italian soul.
