Coming soon: Villa Pacri
Villa Pacri is about to re-establish Gansevoort Street, opening in the space that previously housed Merkato 55 initially with their ground floor cafe La Gazzetta. The name Villa Pacri comes from the "Villa" inspiration for this concept, which will be a multi (4) level space, each offering a different dinning experience and unique atmosphere; while all tying into a authentic, neighborhood Italian hospitality theme.
Opening July 1st is La Gazzetta, which is the ground floor cafe, with a take-out section of Villa Pacri. La Gazzetta will offer a casual cafe dining experience, with regional ingredients and a neighborly feel. The take-out section will offer coffee, pastries, sandwiches, as well as fine imported Italian products including cured meats, pastas, olive oil, and more. There will also be outdoor seating for warm weather.
The kitchen of Villa Pacri will be led by Executive Chef Michael Berardino, previously Chef de Cuisine of 2 years at Dell' Anima. The interior is done by award-winning French architect Cyril Durand Behar, and La Gazzetta features an amazing centerpiece chandelier composed of 300 wine glasses.
