What Is Bar Pisellino?

Bar Pisellino is a classic, morning-till-late Italian bar celebrating l’arte del bere, the art of drinking. Inspired by the elegant coffee and cocktail bars of Florence, Milan, and Venice, Bar Pisellino welcomes guests to find a brief respite or to indulge in the pleasure of drinking and eating well at any time of day – from espresso and pastries at the marble counter; to cocktails, spritz, and panini al fresco; to digestivi at the walnut banquette.

Chefs Rita Sodi and Jody Williams created Bar Pisellino in 2019, just across Grove Street from their beloved neighborhood osteria Via Carota. Each detail of the Bar Pisellino space was thoughtfully curated by the chefs to create an environment where beauty and utility work in concert. This along with the deftly crafted cocktails, classic fare, and prompt but unpushy service create an experience imbued with Italian culture and tradition. 

Nota bene: Pisellino translates to “little pea” and is a play on an Italian term of endearment.
