Tarallucci & Vino – New York – USA

Luca Di Pietro hails from the Central Italian region of Abruzzo. He founded Tarallucci e Vino in 2001 while running the US subsidiary of an Italian coffee company. Luca set out to promote Italy’s dining culture, something he missed and wanted to recreate in New York. That simple idea soon grew into a group of restaurants both European expats and New Yorkers appreciate their authentic Italian appeal and warmth.

Luca’s passion for all things Italian also ensures that the diverse wine lists are filled with gems sourced from family-owned bio-dynamic wineries in Italy and Europe and cannot be found anywhere else in the US.

Luca plans to play for the Italian National Team in the 2018 World Cup.

The famous Italian saying comes from a tradition of resolving any matter over a glass of wine and tarallucci, the classic southern Italian cookie.

Since 2001 Tarallucci e Vino has adopted this philosophy and applied it to every aspect of the dining experience.

From our housemade pastries every morning to our fresh pasta and locally and seasonally sourced Italian plates at night, we invite you to start or end your day at one of five Tarallucci e Vino locations.
