The Best All-Day Italian Restaurant & Salumeria in NYC Has a New East Village Home

Enjoy The Best All Day Italian Restaurant NYC Offers, From Morning Espresso To Evening Wine And Indulgent Dishes Crafted For Every Moment

If you’ve been searching for the most authentic Italian dining experience in New York City, look no further. Salumeria Rosi, the beloved northern Italian restaurant and salumeria that first opened on the Upper West Side in 2008 has opened its second location in the East Village, at 222 Avenue B (between East 13th and 14th Streets).

Salumeria Rosi isn’t just a restaurant, It is a full-day Italian experience. For New Yorkers who have long made pilgrimages to the UWS for perfectly crafted cacio e pepe, house-cured meats, and an espresso that actually tastes like Italy, the wait is over. The East Village location opened earlier this year and has brought everything that made Salumeria Rosi a neighborhood institution, but better, with a brand-new all-day café concept that’s set to redefine morning routines especially if you live near Stuyvesant or Alphabet City.

By day, the dining room is bathed in skylight. By night, candlelight flickers across bronze mirrors that lend both expanse and intimacy creating the Best All Day Italian Restaurant NYC worth a visit.

Experience An Authentic All Day Italian Restaurant And Delicatessen In NYC With Imported Meats, Cheeses, And Classic Dishes Made To Indulge Every Craving

Opening daily at 8am, the new Salumeria Rosi café is a love letter to the Italian morning ritual. Coffee is sourced from Hausbrandt, a historic Italian roaster, ensuring your espresso or cappuccino is as authentic as anything you would find on a Milanese side street.

But the café’s real showstopper is its imported pastry program. Salumeria Rosi has partnered with the legendary Pasticceria Sal De Riso to offer pastries that are virtually impossible to find elsewhere in New York: Cornetti, (Italian sweet croissants) Sfogliatelle, and Maritozzi (soft Roman cream-filled buns). Beyond the imported pastries, the café serves croissant sandwiches layered with imported Italian cured meats, cheeses, or frittata, as well as savory house made tarts: smoked salmon with dill cream cheese, leek and parmigiano, and ham with asiago. This is easily one of the best all day Italian restaurant spots in NYC and one of the most distinctive.

Shop NYC’s top tier Italian delicatessen while you’re here. Once you step through the door you are transported to a curated abundance of cured meats, imported cheeses, fresh breads, and gourmet goods at the counter anchored by a bright red hand-wheel slicer in the window, where guests can watch the salumiere at work.

At 11:30am, the dining room opens for lunch, adding pressed paninis to the full menu. At 5pm, the candles are lit, the lights dim, and Salumeria Rosi transforms into something special: an intimate cocktail bar and restaurant serving the northern Italian dishes that have made it a destination. From antipasti and insalate featuring seasonal ingredients, an extensive salumi and cheese selection, to house made pastas in all shapes to a must-order crispy fried artichoke over one of NYC’s best cacio e pepe cream. The menu also highlights signature dishes like the burrata with puntarelle and an East Village exclusive, ham and béchamel crocchette. It also features nightly specials that make Salumeria Rosi easily a weekly ritual.

The wine list is intentionally focused, allowing guests to explore a wide range of Italian wines by the glass while keeping bottle prices approachable with most falling between $60–$90. Italian beer comes from Birra Follina and cocktails are built around Italian ingredients like Campari for a Negroni, or Aperol Gimlet (gin, prosecco, Aperol, triple sec, lime), the Mulo (vodka, limoncello, amaretto, lemon, ginger beer), and the Giava espresso martini (vodka, Averna, Caffè Borghetti, espresso). If skipping alcohol , Salumeria Rossi’s spirit-free options include the Mojito al Rosmarino and an extensive selection of Galvanina organic sodas.

For dessert, don’t miss the tiramisu, pistachio panna cotta, ricotta with Italian peaches, or the showstopping dessert for two: Vin Santo paired with house made almond biscotti.

Whether you are starting your morning with an espresso and a cornetto, lingering over lunch with a glass of Chianti Classico, or settling in for a long candlelit dinner of rigatoni alla carbonara and Barolo, Salumeria Rosi is the best all day Italian restaurant in NYC where it delivers authenticity at every touchpoint.. Salumeria Rosi East Village is open daily, beginning at 8am for café service, 11:30am for lunch, and 5pm for dinner. The restaurant seats 50 guests across café tables, a coffee bar, and a candlelit dining room.
