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

                                                            Everything was excellent. We have been prior and again we found everything to be fantastic.

                                                            Fabulous food and great service. But their website needs to be updated as prices were higher than website indicated. Big menu and lovely intimate ambiance. Nice to be in a neighborhood and not in the noisy part of Manhattan.
