La Piazza captures the spirit of an Italian trattoria envisioned by Kristjan Lulaj. Our establishment pays tribute to the essence of the iconic Italian eateries that thrived in mid-20th century New York. These were places where exquisitely prepared, mouthwatering cuisine graced tables in an ambiance that effortlessly merged elegance, comfort, and approachability. While our culinary offerings tip their hat to this rich heritage, they also draw inspiration from the contemporary and future culinary virtuosos and techniques. Signature dishes such as Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Zuppa Di Pesce, Chicken Scarpariello, and Chicken Parmesan are taken to new heights of flavor and presentation.
