Restaurant in New York City, United States
Book it if the wine list leads.
A $$$ New American in TriBeCa with one of Manhattan's more serious wine programs — 3,200 bottles, a World of Fine Wine 2-Star Accreditation, and a Star Wine List No. 1 ranking (2024). Booking is easy relative to its OAD Top 500 standing. Best for guests who want a calm, credentialed dinner where wine pairing drives the evening.
Dinner at Marc Forgione will run you $66 or more per person for two courses before wine — that's the $$$ cuisine tier, and it's honestly the floor here rather than the ceiling once you factor in the wine program. What you get for that spend: a well-regarded New American kitchen in TriBeCa under chef Connor Pratt, a 3,200-bottle wine inventory with particular depth in Burgundy, Loire, Rhône, and Piedmont, and a room that has earned consistent placement on Opinionated About Dining's North American rankings (No. 401 in 2025, No. 441 in 2024). If you've been once and are deciding whether to return, the wine list is the strongest reason to come back and go deeper.
Marc Forgione sits on Hudson Street in lower TriBeCa, a neighborhood that has quietly supported a tier of serious independent restaurants without the foot traffic or tourist pressure of Midtown. That matters for a few practical reasons: the room tends to run calmer than comparable spots uptown, booking windows are more forgiving than at destination restaurants in other parts of Manhattan, and the neighborhood itself rewards lingering after dinner. For a returning guest, the location is one of the restaurant's real assets — it's the kind of address that feels like a regular's spot rather than a special-occasion pilgrimage. Compare that to Per Se at Columbus Circle or Eleven Madison Park in the Flatiron district, where the surrounding environment pushes the experience firmly into special-occasion territory regardless of what you order.
The restaurant has held its ground in TriBeCa long enough to function as a genuine neighborhood anchor for the area's dining regulars , which is rarer than it sounds in a market where independent fine-dining rooms come and go. That staying power is part of the value proposition.
Star Wine List ranked Marc Forgione No. 1 in 2024 and awarded White Star recognition in 2022. The World of Fine Wine has given the program a 2-Star Accreditation. With 550 selections across a 3,200-bottle inventory, the list has real depth , not just breadth. The wine pricing tier is $$$, meaning you should expect many bottles north of $100, with a $50 corkage fee if you bring your own. The strengths in Burgundy, Loire, Rhône, and Piedmont suggest a list built for food pairing rather than trophy-bottle display. If wine is a secondary consideration for your table, this level of program may be more than you need; consider Craft or ABC Kitchen instead, both of which offer strong New American cooking at a lower commitment level.
Marc Forgione is open Tuesday through Saturday, 5–10 pm, and on Monday 5–10 pm. It is closed Sundays. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which is a meaningful advantage over similarly credentialed rooms in the city. You don't need to set a calendar alert or compete for a reservation slot weeks in advance the way you would at Atomix or Le Bernardin. That said, Friday and Saturday evenings will fill faster than mid-week, so if you're planning a specific date, booking a week to ten days out is a reasonable precaution. For a casual mid-week dinner, a few days' notice should be sufficient.

Book here if you want a credentialed New American dinner in a calm TriBeCa setting with a wine list serious enough to anchor the evening on its own. It's the right call for a returning guest who wants to explore the Burgundy or Rhône selections more deliberately, or for a table of two where wine pairing is part of the plan. If you're visiting New York and want to compare the broader scene, see our full New York City restaurants guide. For those exploring beyond New York, comparable New American ambition is on offer at The Inn at Little Washington, Bayona in New Orleans, or Single Thread Farm in Healdsburg. For the high end of the New American format in other US cities, Lazy Bear in San Francisco, Providence in Los Angeles, and Alinea in Chicago are the reference points worth knowing.

The database does not include confirmed current menu items, so specific dish recommendations would be speculation. What the verified data does tell you: this is a New American kitchen with a wine program built around Burgundy, Loire, Rhône, and Piedmont , so the food is structured to pair well with Old World bottles rather than to stand alone as a tasting showcase. The practical guidance for a returning guest is to let the wine list drive the meal. Ask the floor team for pairings against the current menu; with 550 selections and a staff that has maintained a No. 1 Star Wine List ranking, that conversation is likely to be more useful than any static dish recommendation. If you're choosing between this and Beauty & Essex or Clocktower for a more food-forward focus without a comparable wine program, Marc Forgione is the better choice when the bottle is as important as the plate.
