Eric Adams is doing a tour of New York power eateries after winning the Democratic nomination for mayor.
Days after Adams was spotted dining with Republican billionaire John Catsimatidis at Rao’s, he was seen on Tuesday at another reopened Italian hotspot, Fresco By Scotto.
A source told Page Six of his visit: “Adams looked very chic in a blue suit and a white shirt, dining with what looked to be political operatives.”
The vegan pol opted for zucchini chips and pasta primavera, while “being approached by several diners to shake hands and pose for selfies.”
Adams was with his son and former Nets CEO Brett Yormark, we hear. “They applauded when he walked into the room,” a source said of Adams. “People were giving him good energy.”
Fresco By Scotto reopened last month after pausing during the pandemic. The place is known as a favorite haunt for political players including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, George Pataki, and billionaire donor Ken Langone, as well as out-of-town visitors from Benjamin Netanyahu to the late John McCain.
The spot that’s owned by the family of Rosanna Scotto has undergone a redesign. Page Six was told that Katie Couric, Wendy Williams, Kelly Ripa, Donny Deutsch, Steve Madden, “Today” personality Jill Martin and Estée Lauder president John Demsey were at the restaurant for lunch when it reopened last month.
Rosanna Scotto said at the time: “We are excited to welcome everyone back to the newly designed Fresco by Scotto. My family and I are thrilled by the overwhelming response from all of our customers. We are back and better than ever. We are intrepid New Yorkers!”
