Pacifico (220 College St), New York chef Rafael Palomino's most recent venture, offers food fans a fresh take on the fresh catch of the day. Located at the corner of College and Crown Streets, Pacifico offers a Nuevo Latino seafood menu similar to Chef Palomino's Port Chester, New York landmark restaurant of the same name. With a vibrant interior that features tiles in Caribbean hues of reds and blues, Pacifico is the perfect place to escape from the grey New England winter. The restaurant's open kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows facing one of the city's busiest corners add energy and playful atmosphere to every meal. And we're pretty sure Pacifico's mojitos and Caipirinha- the national drink of Brazil- will soon have New Haveners buzzing about Downtown's newest hot spot.
For those of you who have a love affair with seafood, Pacifico is a huge catch- and you won't even have to board a ship to get there.
Lunch hours: Mon-Fri 11:30am-3pm
Dinner hours: 7 days 5p-10pm
