TONY has learned that restaurateur and wine-bar impresario Luca Marcato (Luca, Cavatappo Wine Bar) is shaking up his Upper East Side holdings. He’s renovating his eponymous restaurant and reconfiguring its menu. It is slated to relaunch on August 5 as Cavatappo Grill.
He also plans to open a branch of Cavatappo Wine Bar in Gramercy Park on August 25. Expect pressed-tin ceilings, oak floors and cork-covered communal tables. Quaffs will include 70 selections hailing from old- and new-world wine-producing regions, along with some New York selections. A small-plates menu hits all of the expected enoteca marks—look out for pizzas, bruschette, cheese and cured-meat plates.—Michael Anstendig
