Osteria 57 & Alice

Osteria 57 and Alice are a duo of West Village Italian restaurants where pristine quality seafood and produce are the stars. Executive chef Riccardo Orfino shops at the Union Square Greenmarket all week to source the best vegetables, herbs and fruits possible and buys fish only from sustainable suppliers. His dishes-- crudos, salads, pastas studded with shellfish or colorful vegetables and seafood entrees- are simple, fresh and delicious. Enjoying wines, creative cocktails and rare tequilas and mezcals are a signature part of the dining experience at both spots. It's no wonder that they're buzzy night after night and always in-demand reservations.
