Enjoy a dinner for two at Italian Restaurant, Locanda Vini & Olli!

HISTORY OF THE RESTAURANT
In late 2000, Catherine and Francois Louy brought over a young, talented chef from Florence to craft the menu and run the kitchen. The result was an Italian restaurant unlike any other in the city at that time. Focusing on the use of high quality ingredients and traditional Tuscan recipes, executive chef Michele Baldacci created a menu full of simple, rustic, and unique dishes.

Catherine and Francois spent the next nine and a half years building the reputation of Locanda Vini e Olii as one of the most authentic Tuscan restaurants in New York City. In the summer of 2010, they decided to hand over the reigns to Chef Baldacci, sommelier Rocco Spagnardi, and their long time employee and General Manager, Michael Schall. 

These new owners, while staying true to the philosophies and traditions that have developed over the past 10 years, carry with them an energy and enthusiasm that harks back to the first days of the restaurant. From the decision to start baking the loaves of Tuscan bread in-house, to a handful of new traditional Florentine dishes, to the re-birth of seasonal wine tasting dinners, Locanda Vini e Olii is young again.

FROM YELP:

Love love love this restaurant! But don't tell anyone about it or it will become impossible to get a table.

I highly recommend ordering family style for a more Italian experience. Everything is excellent but of my favorites is the funghi pasta. I was there with a group of seven friends and we ended up ordering two additional portions.

Save room for dessert! The cheese cake is amazing, light fluffy, Italian cheese cake, not heavy and dense like New York style.
