Pasta with lobster and fresh peas, spring onions, and sorrel from Barchetta.
Barchetta means “little boat” in Italian, and the fish at this Chelsea newcomer tastes like it came just off one.
The restaurant, which opened Thursday, is a collaboration between chef Dave Pasternack, the chef and partner at Midtown staple Esca, and LDV Hospitality, the group behind American Cut and Scarpetta. Pesce crudo (raw fish) is a menu standout here.
With options like fluke with smoldered bamboo salt ($16) and long-fin tuna with sundried tomato ($16) — it’s worth ordering the daily crudo tasting ($30) to try six different types of raw fish with unique accompaniments.
Pasta dishes include a lobster fettuccine with fresh peas ($28). And the cooked seafood is served with seasonal vegetables, like a sea scallop with fava beans ($28), and a monkfish with fiddlehead ferns ($27).
