Dine At A Restaurant Reminiscent Of The Amalfi Coast<\/h1>\n\n\n

It was 2018 when Sasha Bikoff made a splash at her first ever Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse in New York, turning the staid spiral stairway into a vivid and memorable journey of chromatic pattern play. Since that, her residential practice<\/a> took off\u2014and, more recently, so has her commercial work, as witnessed in Il Totano, located a couple dozen blocks south of that fateful showhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1,900-square-foot, 85-seat restaurant is an ode to all things southern Italian, from the seafood-focused cuisine (chef Harold Dieterle is of Sicilian heritage; il totano <\/em>means flying squid) <\/em>to the d\u00e9cor, its luminous, saturated palette inspired by the \u201csunset-colored beach umbrellas, terra-cotta ceramics, and calypso-blue grottos,\u201d Bikoff admires on her frequent visits to the Amalfi Coast. Among the highlights are the dining room\u2019s massive rattan light fixtures reminiscent of fishing baskets, the restroom\u2019s octopus-spangled wallpaper, and the bar\u2019s lemon-yellow table lamps, fittingly sourced from Flos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
