Our History
La Piazza New York is the Manhattan chapter of a story that began in Venice’s historic Piazza San Marco. Since 2003 our flagship, La Piazza Venezia, has welcomed guests with time-honoured Venetian recipes, Adriatic seafood, and genuine Italian hospitality.

our food philosophy
At La Piazza, every dish begins with respect—for ingredients, for tradition, and for the guests we serve. Inspired by our Venetian heritage, we follow three guiding principles:
Ingredient Integrity
We source the finest seasonal produce, ocean-fresh seafood, and prime cuts from trusted purveyors. When an ingredient is exceptional, we let it shine with minimal intervention, using extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, and fresh herbs to elevate—not mask—its natural flavor.
Craft Over Convenience
From slow-simmered broths to hand-shaped pasta, we embrace time-honored techniques that coax depth and nuance from every component. Our chefs marry classic Venetian methods with subtle modern touches, ensuring each plate feels both familiar and new.
Hospitality From the Heart
Great food only reaches its full potential when paired with warm, attentive service. Whether you’re joining us canal-side in Venice, in the bustle of Midtown Manhattan, or along the Aegean breeze in Mykonos, our team’s mission is simple: create unforgettable moments through genuine Italian hospitality and cuisine crafted with passion.
