Florian Trattoria, Pizza, Bar

Florian Café is open all day. Mondays from 11:30 am to 10:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday 11:30 am - 11:30 pm, Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and Sundays 10:30 am - 10:30 p.m.

Although the restaurant is newly minted, Florian mimics the old-world charm of the nearly 300 year old famed Venetian coffeehouse, Caffe Florian. Imported Italian tiles mosaic the walls from floor-to-ceiling; a 12 seat white marble antipasto bar tempts guests to take a seat and enjoy homemade burrata and vegetable antipasti made from Union Square Market finds; an entirely separate vegetarian and vegan menu; a sparkling chandelier gives a warm glow to the forest green walls and burgundy banquettes; and six bronze sculptures created and crafted in Pietrasanta, Italy, adding a richness and spirit of Italian history and art to the design.

Florian’s menu offers classic Italian dishes interpreted by Bologna-born chef Brando de Oliveira. The menu features pastas made in house, thin crust pizza, and local and imported fish (selected by our fishmonger daily).

Florian Café is conveniently located at 225 Park Avenue South (between 18th & 19th Street) close to Union Square, Gramercy Park, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and New York University. Join us for a warm, morning croissant, a leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner or an artfully crafted cocktail.

Consider Florian Café for your next corporate event or family gathering; a warm and welcoming private dining room can be customized for your budget and palate.
