Inspired by the simplicity of Neapolitan cuisine, OLIO E PIÙ brings Italian tradition to the vibrant intersection where Sixth and Greenwich avenues meet Christopher Street, in the heart of Greenwich Village. First opened in the summer of 2010, the 74-seat restaurant fronted with a 45-seat open patio surrounded by flowers and greenery, overlooking the magnificent Jefferson Market Library. OLIO E PIÙ offers a true sense of Mediterranean liveliness in the heart of Greenwich Village.
As an authentic trattoria, its cuisine is based on classic Italian dishes, with a focus on house-made pastas, hand-stretched pizza, and time-honored favorites such as Caprese salad, fritto misto, and tiramisu. The open dining area, traditional wood-fired oven, rustic interior, thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizza, and carefully selected wine and cocktail list bring a piece of old-world Italy to a renowned corner in the Village.
Consistent with its aim of offering Italian cuisine in all its regional glory, OLIO E PIÙ takes great pride in its pasta offerings, from stuffed and noodle-based pasta to gnocchi. The lineup changes according to the season, but carbonara and tagliatelle Bolognese are on the menu year-round as guest favorites.
La Dolce Vita—the sweet life, is an expression that perfectly captures the essence of Italy and what it is to be Italian. La dolce vita is about pausing life to savor the things that matter most, family, and nowhere is that more evident than at the dinner table. Olio e Pui is a showcase for classic homestyle Italian cooking, sharing its most cherished recipes while also taking you on a journey into the heart and soul of Italian cuisine with the book Benvenuti a Casa. Antipasta, pasta, roasts—all of the restaurant’s delicious dishes are shared, along with a warm, inspiring exploration of the culture of Italian cooking. Through this journey, you’ll experience the pleasures of the Italian table at your dinner table, and to bring a little bit of the sweet life into your home.
