La Villetta, “cottage” in Italian, is housed in a former carriage house whose building dates back to 1910. This unique space features tones of emerald green, colorful blue, red and yellow stoneware and exposed brick walls giving it both an intimate and rustic feel. The emerald green and dusk blue are reminiscent of the stunning seas and coastline of Puglia, Italy. The region of Puglia is known for its legendary yet simplistic cuisine and boasts some of the best Mediterranean fare

Our dinner last evening at La Villetta was excellent in every way. Food, service, wine selection and ambience were all excellent. Jose’, our friendly and professional server, helped to make it a great experience. The next time we’re in Midtown East in Manhattan, we look very forward to our next visit.
