Sixteen months after introducing Italian fine dining to Sparkill with Lanni's Cucina Verace Italiana, veteran restaurateur Vittorio Lanni has opened a new place in Piermont, complete with (at least for the moment) a red Ferrari parked outside next to signs pointing to Amalfi, Salerno, Positano, Napoli and Procida.

Trattoria Da Vittorio, which premiered Sept. 16, has the same Italian focus — the chef hails from Benevento, a province of Naples, and is big into educating diners about his country's regions — but with a more casual vibe that's more in tune with what he calls "a happening town."
