TARALLUCCI E VINO
New York's artisanal Italian dining experience from breakfast through dinner in a casual yet elegant setting. Handcrafted pastries are baked daily, as are fresh pastas.
The famous Italian saying comes from a tradition of resolving any matter over a glass of wine and tarallucci, the classic southern Italian cookie. Since 2001, Tarallucci e Vino has adopted this philosophy and applied it to every aspect of their dining experience. From their handcrafted pastries every morning to our fresh pastas and locally and seasonally inspired Italian plates at night,.
The 1,200-square-foot location for the casual-elegant Italian dining concept is housed within a luxury residential tower designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc. The restaurant honors both the character of the modern façade and Tarallucci e Vino’s rustic aesthetic. Modern elements such as interior columns and concrete floors offset more traditional details like warm, walnut-stained tables and brown leather banquettes. A 16-seat bar equipped with hand-painted tiles and lit by a handcrafted 17-globed light fixture from Brooklyn-based metal artisan Avi Kendi, is the centerpiece of the 70-person eatery. The bar is complemented by a custom wood library that boasts the restaurant’s expansive wine collection. Fourteen-foot-tall ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and light wood-slatted walls create an open feel inside, while the restaurant also features a 48-seat outdoor patio.
