Bar Pisellino is the classic, morning-till-late Italian bar from acclaimed downtown chefs Rita Sodi and Jody Williams, celebrating the timeless arte del bere.
In a light-filled space spilling onto the tree-lined sidewalk, Bar Pisellino invites guests to find a brief respite or to linger in the pleasure of drinking and eating well at any time of day – from espresso and bomboloni standing at the curved marble bar; to cocktails, spuntini and wine at the walnut banco; to digestivi and dolci at the tables al fresco.
Bar Pisellino is a stone’s throw from historic Christopher Park, and just down Grove Street from the chefs’ beloved restaurants Via Carota, I Sodi, Buvette and The Commerce Inn.
