• Italian • West Village
Booked 192 times today
San Sabino is a seafood focused restaurant from wife and husband team, chefs Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, in partnership with Quality Branded. After working in some of NYC’s top Italian restaurants and dreaming of opening their own special neighborhood spot, Angie and Scott opened Don Angie in 2018 to tremendous critical acclaim. They quickly became known for boldly unexpected dishes that challenge your perception of traditional Italian-American cooking.Six years later and just a few doors down from Don Angie, they've now opened their second restaurant, San Sabino. Named after Scott’s grandfather (from Sanza, Italy, where most people are named after the patron saint Sabino), San Sabino offers a playful spin on Italian dishes from Shrimp Parm to Pasta Alle Vongole, with bold twists influenced by coastal American cities where many Italians settled, from New Orleans to the Jersey Shore.

    Having frequented the original Golden Steer in Las Vegas many times, I had high expectations for their new New York City location—and they absolutely delivered. It is truly on point. I recently brought my family to experience this new East Coast outpost, and it’s remarkable how the team has perfectly captured the same legendary vibe, hospitality, and exquisite taste that made the original an icon. It feels like a seamless extension of the Vegas classic. We had a wonderful time sharing stories over a fantastic meal, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit with friends in tow. Thank you, Golden Steer, for bringing this experience to New York and for treating my family to such a memorable evening.
