Café Fiorello has been a fixture across from New York’s Lincoln Center for 50 years. Now, the Italian-American restaurant is opening its second-ever location in another prime piece of real estate on 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue (formerly Tadich Grill). It’s set to open May 21 with a menu full of classics—from chicken parm to rigatoni alla vodka—plus a front-and-center antipasti bar.

“It’s the most similar thing we’ve found to where we are in New York,” says Ben Grossman, CEO for Fireman Hospitality Group, which is behind Café Fiorello, Bond 45, Brooklyn Diner, and several others. He notes the group’s other New York restaurants tend to be centered around entertainment centers, including Carnegie Hall and Times Square.
