Where Italy Meets New York: Levante LIC

Located a few blocks from the Court street subway station, it is not a long ride from Manhattan (no need to book flight tickets to Italy).  As we all know, France and Italy have close ties when it come to cuisine and wine thanks to the common history of the two countries.

The co-partners have a cool background–SHG co-partner Eden Tesfamariam Gaim grew up in Milan after her parents moved there from Eritrea and leverages her international background and experience to manage front of house, style and design aspects and programming tailored to the communities surrounding their venues. Her business partner Tony D’Aiuto grew up locally in the restaurant business, enjoys building the interiors of their restaurants/wine retail spaces, and uses his experience as a lawyer for all the negotiations involved in restaurants. It’s a unique partnership in the panoramic view of restaurant groups.
