Donna Margherita

This Upper East Side restaurant and wine bar channels the A' Cucina 'e Mamma experience, drawing on recipes from the owners' mother. Recognized with the Gambero Rosso Two Forks award for three consecutive years, the kitchen highlights fresh ingredients in dishes like the octopus salad alongside its signature pies. The dining room is compact and low-key, with a handful of tables downstairs and a few additional seats in a small upstairs space, all run with highly attentive hospitality.
