Located steps from Carnegie Hall, Trattoria Dell’Arte features the largest antipasto bar in New York, a sprawling selection of seafood and vegetable specialties perfect for parties of all sizes. Designed after a Tuscan artist’s studio, the rooms include half-finished paintings, oversized sculptures of fragmented body parts, a gallery of Italian noses, a wine cellar dining room, and a candle-filled private room.

The menu focuses on northern Italian specialties such as the steak Florentine, double veal chop, seafood specialties of the Mediterranean, and unforgettable dessert. Chef Brando de Oliveira has more than twenty years in kitchens throughout Europe and has studied at the Accademia Gastronomica Italiana and the Accademia Italiana Della Cucina, making him both experientially and academically a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen, and his acumen shows in every dish served at Dell'Arte.
