The cuisine of Venice is the focus of the menu at Remi, an airy, lofty restaurant in Midtown decorated with ornate Venetian blown-glass lights, hand-painted murals of the Italian city’s romantic canals and teak flooring. Remi has long been a favorite for local business people who want to dish over lunch but also makes a terrific choice for drinks, dinner or a visit before or after the theater. The kitchen’s specialty is handmade pastas, but the menu also features contemporary Mediterranean takes on fish, beef, poultry and game. A “cicchetti” menu of Venetian tapas is also available at the bar for a lighter meal.
