Piacere

On Broome south of Grand, the Piacere storefront has been a reliable evening stop for a while now. The address is 351 Broome St, New York, NY 10013, just a few steps from the Bowery. It’s casual enough that a solo diner can settle in without fuss, and the dinner crowd drifts in without fanfare.

You’ll find the usual comfort food staples alongside espresso, cocktails, and a short beer list that doesn’t waste time. Dessert comes swiftly after the main, and the wine choices sit within easy reach of the bar. Service keeps pace, so you’re not left staring at the ceiling between courses.

Most evenings the space fills with neighborhood faces—some lingering over hard liquor, others nursing coffee alone. The kitchen turns out dishes that disappear faster than posted menus, a quiet sign of consistency.

Call 212-219-4080 when you’ve decided. A quick look at the map drops you at the doorstep before the appetizers do.
