Restaurant in New York City, United States
Book it for the wine list.
Locanda Verde is a TriBeCa Italian with consistent OAD recognition (ranked #522 in 2025) and one of the stronger Italian wine programs in the city: 650 selections, 6,000 bottles in inventory, with Piedmont and Tuscany depth. At $$$ per head, it earns its place if wine matters as much as food. Easy to book, open all day daily.
Locanda Verde has appeared on Opinionated About Dining's Casual North America list three years running — ranked #473 in 2024 and #522 in 2025, with a Recommendation in 2023 — which puts it in a reliable tier of Italian restaurants in New York City: not the most ambitious room in town, but consistently delivering. At $$$ per head for a two-course meal, this is not a casual drop-in; it sits at the higher end of the casual Italian category. What justifies the price most clearly is the wine program: 650 selections, 6,000 bottles in inventory, with particular depth in Piedmont and Tuscany, and a sommelier team of three. If you care about Italian wine as much as Italian food, this is a serious address.
Locanda Verde occupies a corner of the Greenwich Hotel at 377 Greenwich St in TriBeCa , a neighbourhood that has developed a dense concentration of ambitious dining over the past two decades. The visual character of the room leans into the Italian trattoria reference: warm tones, a bar that anchors the space, and an energy that sits somewhere between neighbourhood restaurant and destination dining. It is co-owned by Robert de Niro through NoHo Hospitality, which means the room carries a degree of ambient celebrity, though that factor should not drive your booking decision either way. Andrew Carmellini leads the kitchen; the general manager is Dante Camara.
The food runs Italian across lunch and dinner, with breakfast service added on weekdays and weekends , a format that makes it genuinely useful across different trip types. If you are staying nearby or based in TriBeCa, the all-day reach adds practical value that a dinner-only room cannot match. The kitchen operates from 7am on weekdays and weekends, closing mid-afternoon before reopening for dinner through 11pm nightly.
Wine Director Joshua Nadel oversees a list that OAD's data characterises at $$$ pricing , meaning you should expect many bottles above $100, with the list skewing toward serious Italian producers rather than accessible everyday pours. The corkage fee is $75 if you bring your own, which is on the higher end for New York and signals that the house list is the intended vehicle. For Italian wine depth in this price tier in New York, this is one of the better rooms to explore Piedmont and Tuscany with guidance from a knowledgeable floor team. Comparable programs at Ai Fiori and Babbo are worth considering if the wine is your primary driver, though Locanda Verde's inventory depth of 6,000 bottles is notable for a casual format.
Within the New York Italian category, Locanda Verde occupies a specific middle ground. Via Carota in the West Village is the more neighbourhood-casual choice and significantly harder to book without a reservation. Altro Paradiso skews lighter and more wine-bar in feel. Babbo remains the reference point for Italian in New York at a similar price tier. For a wider exploration of what New York's Italian dining offers, see our full New York City restaurants guide.
If you are considering Italian restaurants outside New York for context, 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Hong Kong and cenci in Kyoto represent the international Italian-influenced fine dining tier. Within the US, Single Thread Farm in Healdsburg and The French Laundry in Napa anchor the northern California fine dining conversation at a different price point and ambition level. Locanda Verde sits comfortably below that tier in price and formality, which is part of its appeal.

Quick reference: TriBeCa Italian, $$$, easy to book, open all day daily, strong Italian wine list (650 selections, 6,000 bottles), OAD Casual North America ranked #522 (2025).
The database does not include specific dish-level detail, so naming individual plates would be speculative. What the data does confirm is that the kitchen runs Italian across all dayparts , breakfast, lunch, and dinner , and that Andrew Carmellini leads the culinary direction. For an Italian kitchen at the $$$ price tier with OAD recognition, the pasta and meat-focused courses are typically where the kitchen earns its reputation. The stronger, more verifiable argument for ordering something specific is on the wine side: ask the floor team (Wine Director Joshua Nadel or sommeliers Liam Schaffer, Moira Mcguire, or Lizzie Krongberg) to guide you through the Piedmont or Tuscany section of the list, where the program has documented depth. If you want a comparable Italian room with menu transparency, Babbo or Via Carota offer more publicly available dish-level detail.
