Tarlow's Brooklyn approach to dining has found a new home in Manhattan with his restaurant Borgo, a nod to his roots and a pivotal role in shaping neighborhood culture.
At Borgo, the ambiance features groupings of candles and a wood-fired oven, creating a stunning yet understated environment perfect for a cozy night out.
The menu may not be Tarlow's most inventive, but it is crowd-pleasing, with dishes that blend various Italian influences, appealing to a diverse Manhattan clientele.
Borgo, situated in a historic space previously occupied by I Trulli, attracts a local arts-focused community, contrasting sharply with more touristy nearby dining options.
