A fifth Tarallucci e Vino location has arrived in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood. New York-based interior design consultant Sarah Abdallah collaborated with architects Michael Siporin and Michael McNeil on the new 1,200-square-foot location for the casual-elegant Italian dining concept.
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 handpainted tiles and lit by a handcrafted 17-globed light fixture from Brooklyn-based artist 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.
The concept originally debuted in 2001 in New York’s East Village, followed by locations in Union Square, the Upper West Side, and the Upper East Side.
