Michael Voltaggio's Ink. has been named the best new restaurant in America by GQ.
In 2011 Voltaggio partnered with Michael Ovitz to open the restaurant, described as 'the most eagerly anticipated brick-and-mortar opening in years.' Since that time the spot has received rave critical reviews as well as great local word of mouth as a fantastic dining experience.
Excerpted from the article:
"He calls his food Modern L.A. Cuisine. Voltaggio doesn't try to make too much of this classification or, for that matter, himself. He's got the tattoos, the Top Chef title, and, according to the L.A. Times, culinary groupies lingering at his door, but he says, "I'm just a cook, man." Maybe he is just that.
Ink—not named for his tattoos but for, he hopes, the permanence of his restaurant—is a curious little spot. It looks like it belongs in shoddy downtown L.A., but it's on a stylish segment of Melrose Avenue, across from Alexander McQueen. The previous tenant was a sushi restaurant; the sushi bar is still there, now Ink's cold station. Even a restaurant with Michael Ovitz as a partner needs to save a few bucks."
