Known for bringing soulful Italian cooking to life at Osteria Tulia, Bar Tulia, and Tulia Catering & Events, Betulia now turns his focus to an elevated steakhouse experience. Housed in the former home of The French Brasserie, the new restaurant will reimagine the classic steakhouse through Betulia’s lens. Picture USDA Prime and global Wagyu beef grilled to perfection, complemented by fresh, housemade pastas like bucatini cacio e pepe, pennoni alla vodka, and truffle-laced tortellini. Seasonal seafood, veal “parmigiana,” and heritage chicken round out a menu that balances richness with lightness. Guests can also expect a world-class wine program with rare pours by the glass, a caviar service with international selections, and a cocktail list with a nod towards Italian craftsmanship. Tucked inside Tulia Italia Steak will be Betulia’s intimate speakeasy, Rouge completely reborn as a plush lounge for aperitifs and nightcaps.
Haute Living sits down with Chef Vincenzo Betulia to explore the inspiration, flavors, and vision behind his most ambitious project yet.
