Da Mikele – New York – USA

If you haven’t yet, grab a seat at the Tribeca hotspot, Da Mikele – Signature food by Luzzo’s. Its Neapolitan-inspired menu features our favorite pizza, pasta, and other Italian specialties, and the cozy, laid-back and friendly vibe makes it our favorite place for any time of day.

Executive Pizzaiolo Michele Iuliano—whose other restaurants, Luzzo’s in the East Village, Ovest in Chelsea and Luzzo’s BK in Brooklyn Heights, already have cult followings for their pizzas and pastas—serves up creative spins on classic Neapolitan cuisine.

The menu features a dazzling selection of hand-made pasta, single-size, half-moon pizzas with salad, round or square pizzas, main courses, salads, weekly specials, and more affordable and healthy choices for an authentic lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch experience.

Da Michele’s warm, vaguely industrial space features exposed brick, pressed tin ceilings, exposed bulb chandeliers and a smooth granite and wood bar—made by Iuliano himself—that’s ideal for savoring pizza and wine. The all-Italian wine list is well priced, and the bar includes an extensive offering of whiskeys, cognacs, and digestive.
