Part of Dante
For more than a century, Dante has been a place where New York gathers. What began as an Italian café has evolved into a modern institution, shaped by an enduring belief that hospitality is both an art and a daily practice.
Our newest home on Elizabeth Street represents the next chapter of that story.
Located in the heart of Nolita, Dante Elizabeth Street is a restaurant and bar rooted in Italian tradition and interpreted through the rhythm of contemporary New York. The experience unfolds throughout the day—from morning espresso and leisurely lunches to aperitivo, dinner, and late-night cocktails—creating a space that feels equally suited to everyday ritual and memorable celebration.
The menu is guided by seasonality, generosity, and restraint, allowing exceptional ingredients and thoughtful technique to speak for themselves. At the bar, our award-winning cocktail program continues Dante's celebrated approach to aperitivo culture while embracing creativity, precision, and genuine warmth.
Behind every service is a team dedicated to craft. We believe remarkable hospitality is built through curiosity, humility, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Every detail matters, every role contributes, and every guest interaction is an opportunity to create something lasting.
Dante Elizabeth Street is more than a restaurant—it is a living expression of our culture. We honor tradition while embracing innovation, striving to create experiences that feel effortless, joyful, and deeply personal.
Join Our Team
We are always looking for talented, passionate individuals who share our commitment to hospitality at the highest level.
Whether your expertise is in the dining room, behind the bar, in the kitchen, or supporting operations, you'll join a team that values mentorship, professional growth, and genuine collaboration. We believe great restaurants are built by great people, and we're committed to creating an environment where individuals are empowered to learn, contribute, and thrive.
If you are driven by excellence, inspired by thoughtful service, and excited to be part of the next chapter of an iconic New York institution, we would love to meet you.
Welcome to Dante Elizabeth Street.
