Tarallucci e Vino is loved for its rare, hard-to-capture Italian experience.

Rated “the best and most true to the Italian way,” Tarallucci e Vino was founded by Italians living in New York to capture the casual elegance of their culture. Chef Andrew Welch, (Essex House, Esca), offers an artisanal, seasonal menu reflecting nearby Union Square Greenmarket & his family’s organic farm. The result is a convivial oasis, perfect for pastry & espresso in the morning, hand-crafted pasta at lunch, & a small feast at night. Other highlights: complimentary stuzzichini with aperitivi (5-7pm); gluten-free pasta; and 25 wines by the glass.
