Open since 2019, this Greenwich Village hideout is full of surprises. A speakeasy entrance leads to an intimate, energetic dining room where art, design and class come together seamlessly. A handsome chef’s counter encompasses a fully staffed kitchen where Chef Franco Sampogna and his team work elbow to elbow to deliver a vivid, finely tuned tasting menu. From South America to Asia, inspired dishes like butternut squash doughnut or scallop with rice and pepper cream are as refined as they are flavorful. The signature dessert has long been a delightful contrast of savory and sweet, pairing aged Comté cheese with smooth honey ice cream and honeycomb. All the while, an engaging service team keeps the mood upbeat.
