Family-Run Italian Restaurant Set To Open In The West Village

WEST VILLAGE, NY — A family-run Italian restaurant will open Tuesday in the West Village.

Managed by sibling business partners Aida and Fernando Scarpati, the restaurant will offer a wholesome approach to Italian food at 15 Seventh Ave. South, between Carmine and Leroy Streets.

The restaurant will have a 35-seat dining room with exposed brick walls, granite tables, a sycamore tree top bar, and an outdoor seating area that can accommodate 20 guests.

The eatery pays homage to the sibling's grandfather Ferdinando, who owned restaurants on the island of Ponza, Italy, before he moved to the United States and passed down a variety of family recipes.

The menu will include the following:

• Fritto Misto: Zucchini, fennel, calamari and wild shrip
• Spaghetti Puttanesca: Capers, Italian olives, a touch of marinara sauce and herbs
• Veal and Chicken Sofia: Stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese
• Ricotta Cheesecake: Graham cracker crumbs with sweet and sour pears and huckleberry sauce

The restaurant will serve dinner seven days a week from 5 to 10 p.m. on weekdays and until 11 p.m. on weekends. There will also be lunch on Thursday and Friday from noon to 3 p.m., and weekend brunch from noon to 3 p.m.
