Locanda Verde Lands in Hudson Yards: Italian Soul Meets New York’s Edge

Locanda Verde, Tribeca’s cherished Italian osteria known for its warm embrace of “mama’s kitchen” vibes with a side of celebrity glamour, has taken a bold leap into Hudson Yards. The original, nestled in The Greenwich Hotel—a Tribeca icon in its own right—has long been a destination for those craving soulful Italian cuisine served with a touch of star power. Now, this beloved spot’s unmistakable magic is weaving its way west, landing in one of Manhattan’s most exciting neighbourhoods.

This isn’t just an expansion; it’s a culinary love letter from Chef Andrew Carmellini to New York City. A two-time James Beard Award winner and the creative force behind some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants, Carmellini has made a career of turning thoughtful, seasonal ingredients into unforgettable dishes. At Hudson Yards, he brings that same magic to a vibrant new stage, crafting a dining experience that feels both fresh and timeless.

A Space That Shines as Bright as the Food

Step into Locanda Verde Hudson Yards, and you’re stepping into a Milanese daydream. Designed by the acclaimed Roman and Williams studio, the 6,000-square-foot space is an elegant mosaic of golden hues, plush orange accents, and velvet-striped upholstery. The jewel-box bar shimmers under bespoke hand-blown chandeliers, while an outdoor terrace invites you to soak in views of the Hudson River. Every inch, from the expansive mirrors to the gallery-worthy art by Robert De Niro Sr., tells a story of refined comfort—a hallmark of Locanda Verde’s DNA.

The layout caters to every kind of evening, whether you’re settling into the banquette-lined dining room for a cosy dinner or grabbing a quick bite in the café area before strolling the High Line. Glamour and intimacy meet effortlessly here, a design language Hudson Yards has been waiting for.

The Menu: Familiar Favourites and Fresh Adventures

At its core, Locanda Verde is about the food—soulful, seasonal, and unapologetically Italian. Carmellini’s menu brings beloved Tribeca classics alongside Hudson Yards exclusives. The Sardinian Sheep’s Milk Ricotta? It’s still there, laced with sea salt and honey, ready to be devoured. Lamb Meatball Sliders? Iconic as ever. But there’s more to explore: Big Eye Tuna with caperberry tonnato, Chitarra Nero with buttered crab and Calabrian chili, and Glazed Duck paired with farrotto antico.

Looking for something to share? The 35-Day Dry-Aged Bistecca Fiorentina and AC’s Fire-Roasted Garlic Chicken bring that communal Italian spirit to life, perfect for splitting with friends or simply indulging in yourself (we won’t judge).

A Legacy, Reinvented

Locanda Verde Hudson Yards isn’t just a second location—it’s the next chapter of a legacy that began in The Greenwich Hotel. Rooted in Tribeca’s cobblestone charm and carried forward by Chef Carmellini’s dedication to craft, this new outpost delivers the same soulful authenticity that made the original a dining institution. Yet it stands as its own entity, a place where timeless Italian traditions meet the pulsing, modern heartbeat of Hudson Yards.

Whether you’re here for the food, the design, or the undeniable buzz of a New York hotspot, Locanda Verde at Hudson Yards promises an experience you won’t forget. Pull up a chair, pour a glass of something bold, and let yourself get lost in the moment—because this is one for the books.
