Contento,
New York City,
NY
“Roots. Respect. Restore.” That’s the motto of Contento, which aims to honor the immigrant roots of New York City, respect the local products that form the menu and celebrate the restorative effects of a jovial restaurant atmosphere. Sommeliers Yannick Benjamin and Mara Rudzinski double as social advocates, as they use the restaurant’s resources to host community-minded programming. The extensive wine list highlights producers with positive social impact, “Ancient World” regions and local offerings from New York.
