After pulling rave reviews from nearly every critic in town, Cibo Matto chef Todd Stein is turning his attention to the expense account crowd: he’s just launched lunch service. The menu is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a midday nuovo-Italian kitchen: salumi-studded salads, a selection of pastas, and an edited by-the-glass wine list. We must draw attention, though to the fried mortadella panini (accented with balsamic vinegar, red onions, and cow’s milk mozzarella): that is basically a fried bologna sandwich, and you have now been officially granted clearance to eat it wearing business attire. Read on for the full lunch selection.
