Bad Roman is a faux-Roman quasi-Italian themed restaurant operated by the "Quality Branded" restaurant group and located at the Deutsche Bank Center on Columbus Circle in the borough of Manhattan in New York City.[1]
Background
[edit]The eatery opened in February 2023 in the space previously occupied by Landmarc.[2][3] The executive chef is Nick Gaube.[4] The eatery is known for its unusual and sometimes over the top creations such as, lemon cheesecake served in the shape of lemons, garlic babka,[5] filet mignon topped with cacio e pepe ravioli, tiramisu ice cream cake,[6] and whole roasted lobster and Calabrian campanelle for two.[7] [8] The interior space is designed by the Brooklyn situated studio GRT Architects.[9] Luke Fortney in one of his pieces on Bad Roman for Eater calls a main part of the design a "250-seat dining room that looks a bit like a coked-out Ruby Tuesday".[8]
Curbed held its 2023 NYC TikTokers dinner at the establishment.[10] Kylie Jenner has noted it as one of her favorite spots for pasta.[11]
