New York City
Locanda Verde
The Greenwich Hotel
New York, NY, United States
Chef-owner Andrew Carmellini brings robust Italian cooking to Locanda Verde, located in TriBeCa. Like an Italian taverna, the décor is simple and energetic, with a granite-topped bar, cafe tables, large French windows, and accents of dark wood. A delicious beginning is the crostini – small bites of prosciutto bread, spicy corn, pureed chicken liver, and blue-crab flavored with jalapeno. For a taste of the Old Country, enjoy the aptly named My Grandmother's Ravioli dish. And this is one place to be sure to save room for dessert, as pastry queen Karen DeMasco serves up delicacies like the lemon tart with buttermilk gelato.
Insider Tip:
The private dining room can be reserved for 60 seated or 90 standing. The room overlooks a gorgeous courtyard and is decorated with a fireplace, antique mirrors, and ornate chairs.
