Via Carota

About

In the West Village, Via Carota captures the romance of Florence with effortless poise. Chefs Jody Williams and Rita Sodi shape a menu that honors Italian tradition, from a silken cacio e pepe to the famed insalata verde, dressed with precision and restraint. The dining room glows with whitewashed brick, antique mirrors, and a marble bar that feels lifted from another era, while sidewalk tables spill onto Grove Street. Since 2014 it has defined downtown dining for those who care deeply about food and the art of lingering.
