The famed restaurant critics at The New York Times are some of the most-followed and most-feared people in the Big Apple, especially among those in the restaurant biz. A negative review can shutter an eatery in just a few months, and critics have worn elaborate disguises while dining in order not to be recognized. But good reviews can bring foodie fame, which is why celebrity chef Mario Batali was so excited about today's review in the Times. Critic Sam Sifton gave Batali's restaurant Del Posto the paper's top rating: 4 stars.
The rave is especially notable because, strangely, the Times rarely gives 4-star reviews to Italian restaurants. In what year did an Italian eatery last receive the coveted honor?
a) 2001
b) 1993
c) 1983
d) 1975
