Part of Chef Driven Restaurant Group
Sempre Oggi, directly translated as ‘Always Today’, is a modern Italian restaurant brought forth by Robert Guarino and Simon Oren of the Chef Driven group. Described by Robert as “ a recreation of your very chic friend's home in Milan” the restaurant design draws much inspiration from Gio Ponti, the great Italian architect & designer. The design is modernist while maintaining a respect for
history & tradition. Existing white columns in the space have been enveloped with mirrors and
their corners bound to the floor in grey cement. Lighting is suspended throughout the space,
floating within custom maple-tinted, light transmissive plastic. The bar showcases more
inspiration from Ponti’s later career. Mimicking hundreds of tiles motifs he collaborated on with
Ceramica D’Agostino throughout the world, custom hand laid colored tiles in an abundance of
colors flood the wall and emerge onto the ceiling. Illuminated shelving with rounded corners
and no backs are reminiscent of Ponti’s love for playing with light and colors to the eye.
Our Executive Chef Phillip Basone’s menu is a recreation of memories and fondness of Italian cuisine. With a firm belief that living life always for today requires leaving a better tomorrow, Basone reinterprets classic Italian dishes with a strong understanding of seasonality in New York and respect for local ingredients, while always keeping tradition and authenticity in mind. Best represented in the VERDURE DI OGGI section, vegetables play center stage and will be ever evolving, rotating and changing based on availability, and frankly, whatever is most delicious that day.
We are looking for passionate and dedicated hospitality professionals who thrive in an environment of accountability and collaboration. Come apply to join SEMPRE Team
