The former executive chef of Gotham Bar and Grill gave us an inside look at his new NYC restaurant.
The concept for Portale goes back several years during a trip chef Alfred Portale took to the South of France, near the French Riviera.
“It became clear that my Gotham partners — one’s 83 — they just weren’t interested in doing another restaurant,” says Portale. “I’m a partner at Gotham, a large partner, but I’m free to do what I want. So I always wanted to do an Italian restaurant, and the time just seemed like if I didn’t do it now, it would be too late.”
“I’m trying to create something here that is family-friendly,” Portale says. “It really caters to the neighborhood. Just by virtue of being my restaurant it’s going to be a destination restaurant, but I still want to embrace the neighborhood.”Although Portale cooked many popular dishes during his tenure at Gotham, the menu at his restaurant is entirely new.
