Rezdora: Michelin-Starred Emilia-Romagna Pasta in the Flatiron
Rezdora is chef Stefano Secchi’s love letter to Emilia-Romagna, the region behind Italy’s greatest pasta. The name means the nonna who hand-rolls the dough, and that’s exactly the spirit: gnocco fritto with mortadella, tortellini in brodo and a regional pasta tasting menu that regulars swear by. Secchi trained at Massimo Bottura’s three-star Osteria Francescana in Modena, and it shows.
Since opening in the Flatiron the room has collected a Michelin star and a devoted following, which means reservations are genuinely hard to land and drop 30 days out at midnight on Resy. The osteria itself is cheerful and cozy rather than stuffy, with lunch, dinner and weekend brunch service. It is a splurge and a planning exercise, but for serious pasta lovers it’s one of the best tables in the city.
What to Expect
Rezdora does not offer a happy hour. The bar operates first come, first served for the full dining experience, not as a discount counter, and there are no drink or food specials advertised anywhere. Given the Michelin star and the competition for tables, the value here is the cooking, not a deal.
The Room
A warm, well-designed Flatiron osteria that leans cozy and cheerful, with a small bar area kept for walk-in diners.
