Just had the most unforgettable meal at the newly opened OPTO by Chef Alex Tubero — a true gem in the heart of Flatiron, NYC. Serving up bold, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with elevated flair, every dish was a masterclass in flavor, beautifully plated and even better tasted. The atmosphere? Pristine. Elegant yet approachable, with an energy that makes you want to stay all night. Locals are already flocking here, and it’s easy to see why — an instant classic. Must-try dishes? The spritzes are dangerously good, the grilled octopus with a potato salad I could not stop eating, the suckling pig shoulder is crispy and packed with unforgettable flavor, and don’t even think about skipping the viral chocolate mousse — it lives up to the hype. 35 West 21st Street @opto.nyc Chef @alex.tubero #newyorkcityeats #nycfood #nyceats #explorenyc #wheretoeatnyc #newrestaurant #mediterraneancuisine #newyorkcity
