As an authentic trattoria, its cuisine is based on classic Italian dishes, with a focus on house-made pasta, hand-stretched pizza, and entrees like Branzino and Steak Fiorentina. 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 Bryant Park.

Our concepts are intricate and intentional. As we grow in New York City, we are also growing across the US! We are proud to have invested in the city over the past 10+ years and are looking forward to creating future spaces that embody our passion for timeless tradition. 

Our new Olio e Più in Bryant Park will embody the same authentic atmosphere as our original, renowned NYC location, while also integrating into its vibrant new community.
