Sneak Peek at Padre E Figlio

Father and son team Mario and Antonio Cerra are  gearing up for a January opening of their Italian steakhouse, Padre E Figlio (Italian for father and son.)  Having just sold ten-year-old Da Antonio (pictured right,) the two plan to expand upon Da Antonio’s Neapolitan-bent menu with a large selection of high-end Italian meats, including a Piemontese porterhouse and rib eye.

Chef Alberto Argudo, who cooked at both Da Antonio as well as Il Mulino, will be running Padre E Figlio’s kitchen.  With no shortage of steakhouses in Manhattan, Argudo will not only be grilling traditional steer, but also exotic meats such as wild boar in a limoncello reduction and filet mignon of ostrich.  There will also be homemade lobster ravioli, pappardelle and gnocchetti Napoletani.  Designer Peter Sibilia has eclectically outfitted the new, 150-seat space with rooster chandeliers, a glass-enclosed garden, velvet-tufted walls and a private chef’s table.
