Pastry Cook

Marta is a lively restaurant inspired by the rustic cooking of Rome and the season's freshest local produce. Located at The Redbury New York hotel just north of Madison Square Park, we are known for family-style roasts, grilled seafood, and vegetables cooked over an open fire, alongside thin, crackly-crusted pizzas. The warmth and communal energy at Marta make us a central gathering place for the neighborhood.
