East Village’s Via Della Pace Italian Restaurant Destroyed By Fire | Eater NY

"A rustic East Village Italian cafe of nearly 20 years named for a two-block street in Rome’s historic central district, it was known for its lasagna, sidewalk seating, traditional Italian cuisine, an extensive wine list, and being a Lower East Side hidden gem; Eater critic Robert Sietsema found the food “quite good.” In an Instagram announcement the owners said the interior was completely destroyed by the fire at 48 E. 7th Street, they were unsure whether they could continue in the restaurant business, they were unable to salvage their precious items, and that they are holding onto the good memories of serving their wonderful clients." - Luke Fortney
