The SceneNeatly tucked into 46th Street's Restaurant Row, Lattanzi walks a nice line between comfortable and ornate, with flowers, candles and white tablecloths complementing exposed brick and handsome architectural photographs. The two-room restaurant is well-attended every night, with a mostly middle-aged clientele of theatergoers.The FoodPre-theater and at lunch, the menu is sturdy, delicious Italian. Wonderful homemade pastas, such as the fettuccine with a meat ragu, arrive in large portions, though the sizing of the other entrees can be small. At 8pm, the Italian-Jewish (though not kosher) menu is added, offering such dishes as a red snapper that gets an unusual kick from vinegar and raisins, a rich tomatoey stew of cannellini and tender fish, and excellent, deeply flavored rosemary roast chicken. Artichokes are a signature ingredient of this classic cuisine; order one fried or batter-fried to start.
