We don&#x26;#146;t know what prompted the changeover, but we&#x26;#146;ve gotten a &#x3C;b&#x3E;first-look&#x3C;/b&#x3E; at what the new restaurant, which had a &#x22;soft opening&#x22; this week, will be like.&#x3C;p&#x3E;We have high hopes for Pederno, whose past accolades include &#x22;Best New Restaurant of 2007&#x22; in &#x3C;i&#x3E;Esquire&#x3C;/i&#x3E; and &#x22;Top Ten New Restaurants of the United States&#x22; in &#x3C;i&#x3E;Gayot&#x3C;/i&#x3E;.
