Opening a restaurant in New York City, however, is letting it all ride on number 13 in a game of roulette. But when Rita Sodi and Jody Williams decided to open Via Carota in Manhattan\u2019s West Village, it didn\u2019t feel like the odds were stacked heavily against them \u2014 at least not for onlookers familiar with the duo\u2019s work. This was the coming together of two veteran chefs, both of whom at this point had independently earned quite a name for themselves in the industry. Sodi with her traditional Tuscan restaurant I Sodi, which garnered two stars from <em>New York Times <\/em>restaurant critic Pete Wells, and Williams with her all-day bistro Buvette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d15ap29giwmq9i.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/28054749\/11-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3543\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry buzz aside, the two did not expect for Via Carota to quietly go on to become New York\u2019s \u201cmost perfect restaurant,\u201d with lines beginning to form even before sunset daily. Now fast forward to 2019. Not only has the couple been named James Beard Award finalists for \u2018Best Chefs in New York\u2019 for their work at Via Carota, but have also added another address to their growing list of West Village establishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d15ap29giwmq9i.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/28054811\/31-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3545\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly opened <a href=\"http:\/\/BARPISELLINO.COM\">Bar Pisellino<\/a> is nestled in opposite Via Carota on the triangular corner of Grove Street and Seventh Avenue. Working with only 600 square feet, Sodi and Williams opted for a grand standing bar made of oak panels and Carrara marble at the end of the room; most of the activity is meant to ensue here, with drinks crafted by John Mullen, formerly of Maison Premiere. Next, one can\u2019t help but admire the small details that help create the picture-perfect Italian train station look the power couple envisioned: the servers\u2019 buttoned-up ivory jackets, hand-lettered booklets, mosaic floor and golden touches. Wooden benches and side tables line the triangular indoor space, while extra seating outside creates the perfect setup for a summer afternoon pick-me-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d15ap29giwmq9i.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/28054800\/2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3544\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspiration for the bar comes from the couple\u2019s time abroad\nin Sodi\u2019s birth country, Italy. The concept fits extremely well\nwith New York\u2019s 24-hour hustle and bustle. Just like their\nfavorite places in Bel Paese, the two chefs want passersby to\ndrop in early in the morning for their cup of coffee, a spritz later\nin the day and maybe some snacks and cocktails while waiting\nin line for Via Carota in the evening. You can expect to find\nespresso drinks and pastries, like <em>shakerato <\/em>and <em>bombolini <\/em>in\nthe morning menu, as well as sandwiches, panini and spritzes\nin the afternoon. As night falls, bar snacks like our favorite <em>cacio\ne pepe <\/em>potato chips start rolling out of the bar.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d15ap29giwmq9i.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/28054822\/4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3546\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As Williams told <em>Grub Street <\/em>in her interview, \u201cI think this place has the feeling of a train station out in the country, where you end up at the bar and you miss your next three trains because you met somebody and you\u2019re having such a good time.\u201d And that might very well be the best image anyone can paint of Bar Pisellino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/BARPISELLINO.COM\">BARPISELLINO.COM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3695,"template":"","filed_under":[],"class_list":["post-3694","journal","type-journal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pisellino Perfetto | CHANINTR Living Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From the founders of New York City&#039;s Via Carota comes a perfect all-day Italian bar, Bar Pisellino.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pisellino Perfetto | CHANINTR Living Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From the founders of New York City&#039;s Via Carota comes a perfect all-day Italian bar, Bar Pisellino.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"CHANINTR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-12-27T07:36:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/32849300947_e96628d8f5_o-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/\",\"name\":\"Pisellino Perfetto | CHANINTR Living Journal\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/34.124.208.30\/pages\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/32849300947_e96628d8f5_o-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-28T07:24:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-12-27T07:36:55+00:00\",\"description\":\"From the founders of New York City's Via Carota comes a perfect all-day Italian bar, Bar Pisellino.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/32849300947_e96628d8f5_o-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/32849300947_e96628d8f5_o-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":2560,\"caption\":\"32849300947 e96628d8f5 o scaled\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/pisellino-perfetto\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/34.124.208.30\/pages\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Journal\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.chanintr.com\/pages\/journal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Pisellino Perfetto\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/34.124.208.30\/pages\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/34.124.208.30\/pages\/\",\"name\":\"CHANINTR\",\"description\":\"CHANINTR pursues the art of &quot;Living Well&quot;
