A Barbie and Oppenheimer double-feature might be on everyone’s summer wish list right now, but these epic 2023 restaurant openings in NYC are making the case for a blockbuster summer of eating out.

The Don Angie team’s latest, a maximalist love letter to Italian American cooking, is already a social media darling. A beloved Williamsburg vegan diner is back in a new avatar.

Read on for a guide to four sizzling 2023 NYC debuts.

About the restaurant

Quality Branded’s latest was already a social media star before it opened in February—and it’s only exploded since. The team behind NYC staple Quality Italian is dazzling diners with over-the-top Italian American fare that’s peak New York. Think roasted garlic babka and steak topped with a cacio e pepe raviolo that oozes cheese sauce. The decor is just as decadent: A she-wolf statue presides over the dining area and Roman fountains deck the restrooms. Consider toasting your larger-than-life meal with a round of shots served on toy race cars—a zany tribute to Italy’s classic car obsession. It all adds up to an unapologetically maximalist experience you won’t soon forget.

Great food. Mediocre service. I recommend the Lobster for 2, the Beal Chop, Tiramisu, and Lemon Cheesecake. Service similar to a ski resort where the server is untrained. But that doesn’t matter because she’d rather be skiing anyway.
