Jonathan's Ristorante Included Among America's 1,000 Top Italian Restaurants By Zagat Survey

Jonathan's Ristorante has been chosen as one of the top Italian restaurants in the country by Zagat Survey and has been included in their 2008 America's Top 1,000 Italian Restaurants Guide. The guide was created in conjunction with Buonitalia S.p.a., a company formed by the Italian Ministry for agriculture food and forestry polices to promote the Italian agrofood system. The new guide not only contains the restaurant ratings and reviews but also information about regional Italian cuisine and ingredients.
Buonitalia celebrates restaurants highlighted in the guide for providing what they call the "real Taste of Italy." This experience is made up of three things: the warmth of the welcome and skills of the restaurant, how genuine the restaurants products are and the art of using simple and original cooking techniques to bring out the excellence of Italian ingredients. Buonitalia believes that the restaurants that are highlighted in the guide have all of these qualities and also serve as the de facto ambassadors for fine Italian cuisine. Jonathan's Ristorante received a 23 out of 30 for food, a 21 out of 30 for d?cor and a 22 out of 30 for service and comments from consumers include "Unique combinations" of "rigorously seasonal" ingredients, complemented by an "inspired wine list", appeal to "sophisticated palates" at the stalwart Huntington; the staff is "cooperative" and genial", and the new marble mahogany bar lends a polished note to the room, adding up to a "top bet" for special occasions."
