Bar Pisellino - NYC

Bar Pisellino feels like a little slice of Europe right in the West Village. It’s perfect for everything from a late-night cocktail to a mid-morning espresso and pastry. The espresso martini here stands out as one of the best in the city — rich, smooth, and topped with fine coffee grounds instead of the usual beans. The foam has real texture, and the drink itself is balanced without being too sweet. The space is beautifully designed, with classic decor and a warm glow that makes it feel welcoming day or night. Service is sharp, friendly, and never rushed. It’s a great place to stop with a few friends after dinner, or for a casual date that still feels a little special. The sandwiches and baked goods are just as thoughtful as the drinks. A reliable go-to for something low-key but always well done.
