Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich, the team behind Babbo Ristorante and Lupa Osteria Romana in the West Village, has finally opened their latest project after a series of delays. The new restaurant is La Sirena, and it’s being billed as a modern Italian trattoria, falling somewhere between the casual Lupa and and upscale Babbo.
La Sirena is located in the Maritime hotel in Chelsea, in a huge space with both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu features a wide selection of antipasti and main courses like spicy octopus and braised beef short rib, but Batali and Bastianich still expect pasta to be one of the biggest sellers.
For now the restaurant is only open for dinner, but lunch, brunch and breakfast are also in the works.
