"Some places are nice to visit, just not for the obvious reason. Gallery openings might have interesting art on display, but plenty of people just go for free wine and to potentially meet someone with a house in Sag Harbor. Pumpkin patches seem like places you’d go to buy pumpkins, but you actually go to show the world how you and your significant other have such a good relationship. Gran Tivoli is a sit-down restaurant, but you should really use it for drinks and snacks rather than a full dinner. This Italian spot in Nolita, which is from a team behind some popular places in Australia, has an atmosphere that will appeal to regulars at nearby restaurants like Lure Fishbar, The Dutch, and Balthazar. There’s a wood bar that runs more than half the length of the dining room, and between the acoustic jazz, bow-tied bartenders, and long shelves of brown liquor, it feels kind of like a speakeasy. The long, narrow space is pretty dark, and has a bunch of round booths perfect for groups. There’s even a great cocktail bar (Peppi’s Cellar) down a flight of stairs at the back, which provides excellent people-watching for anyone sitting in the dining room and watching the steady stream of well-dressed crowds walking by. But we’d only recommend a full dinner at Gran Tivoli if you’re more interested in a fun atmosphere than great food. The Italian dishes here, especially the large plates - pastas, entrees, and various cuts of steak - range from things that are perfectly fine but forgettable, to a few we didn’t actually want to finish. For example, the buckwheat ravioli are half submerged in a pool of melted butter (and don’t taste like much other than that), and the gnocchi could similarly use a lifeboat to keep from drowning in blue cheese sauce. And two things we generally enjoy - New York sirloin and bone marrow - are served together in what should be the happiest marriage since Morticia and Gomez, but the steak is tough and over-charred, and the bone marrow adds nothing as a condiment on a really thick cut of meat. The small plates are a lot more enjoyable, and they make Gran Tivoli a good option for after-work meetups, when you can share a few things with a friend after realizing your martinis are being soaked up by nothing but a slice of birthday cake you found in the office kitchen. Get the black bass carpaccio that’s light and a bit spicy, or the cheesy polenta that’s topped with lots of crab meat. And no matter what else you eat here, make sure to order the prosciutto. It’s a generous portion that comes with a ball of mozzarella, as well as disks of lard bread that taste as great as you’d imagine bread made with lard would. Gran Tivoli is one of the few restaurants in this part of the city that’s attractive and upscale, but also not stuffy - which is a big part of the reason why it’s packed almost every night. And while there are a bunch of places in Soho and Nolita where you might like people to think you hang out all the time, Gran Tivoli is a place where you actually can. Just think of it more as a nice spot for drinks and snacks than anything else. Kind of like a gallery opening. Food Rundown Bread Basket When a restaurant charges for bread, it can feel like having to pay your building’s super to fix the flickering hallway light, but that’s not the case here. This basket includes three different types of bread and some salty butter, and it’s definitely worth the $5. Polenta At $23, this is a fairly expensive appetizer, but the polenta is topped with a ton of crab meat. The polenta itself isn’t too rich or cheesy, and plays more of a backup role, so only get this if you really like crab. But definitely get this if you really like crab. Fried Calamari If you’re sharing a few small plates with someone at the bar, this should be one of them. The zucchini and mint don’t really add much, but the calamari is tender and has a good meat-to-breading ratio, and it’s a solid amount of food for $14. Prosciutto, Mozzarella This dish includes a huge portion of not-too-salty prosciutto, a ball of mozzarella topped with black pepper, and pieces of lard bread that taste like buttery biscuits. Not surprisingly, cured ham, mozzarella, and biscuits work really well together, and this is our favorite small plate here. Beet Salad This has too many sour strawberries and not enough beets, so the whole thing tastes way too acidic. Black Bass Carpaccio If you want something light, get this carpaccio instead. The slices of black bass are meaty and have a lot of flavor, and they’re balanced out by some spicy chilis and slices of clementine. Spinach Gnocchi Even if you really like blue cheese (like we do), you probably don’t want to eat spoonful after spoonful of it. That’s what this dish tastes like, thanks to the pool of blue cheese sauce at the bottom of the plate. Seafood Risotto This is a ton of food, and size-wise would be a decent share plate for a group of three or four. But there’s not much flavor from the hake and monkfish, so it essentially ends up tasting like a lot of creamy rice. Buckwheat Ravioli It turns out there is such a thing as too much butter, and this plate of ravioli drowning in brown butter is how we know. Veal Schnitzel If you do come here for a full dinner, this needs to be on your table. The massive slab of veal is juicy and has a nice, crispy breading, and it’s topped with anchovies and chilis to give it some salt and spice. There’s an option to add a couple runny eggs on top, but it’s not really an option - you need to do it. New York Sirloin We had high hopes for this piece of NY sirloin with bone marrow on the side, but the thick steak is tough and chewy, and you can’t taste the bone marrow on top. Pork Belly The extremely fatty pork belly comes wrapped around bread stuffing, over some mashed vegetables. Those things don’t add much flavor, and overall this is the least enjoyable dish here." - Matt Tervooren

"Gran Tivoli, the Italian tavern run by Australians Robert Marchetti and Jason Scott that first launched in 2019, is no more. The Instagram site is now private and Google and Yelp both note its closure." - Luke Fortney

"Gran Tivoli is a good group dinner option for three key reasons. First and most importantly (at least for this guide), it has big round tables with booth seating on one side and chairs on the other. Second, the Italian menu is long, and most of the dishes are shareable. We like the polenta with crab and strozzapreti with lamb ragu, but the best thing we’ve tried is actually the veal schnitzel with soft-boiled eggs and anchovies. Finally, there’s a great cocktail bar in the basement called Peppi’s Cellar, where you’ll want to get drinks before or after dinner." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren

Good food, Great service, Pricey though. This is a very NewYork place - it's carefully put together, with just the right selection of bottles behind the bar to be both practical and color-coordinated, and with plenty of dark wood and acoustic-control to make things feel slightly hushed without actually *being* so. The food is about the same - things are presented just around 20-degrees off of normal, to make things *feel* like they are more innovative than they actually are. Mind you, that's not to say it isn't good - it is, and very much so at that. All that said, the service is exceptional - friendly, informative, and basically *nice*. Now if only it were around 30% less expensive than it actually is...

Very good and special attention by the personnel. I went on Thanksgiving, they had a special menu, and it was one of the most affordable of NY by price,and the offered a large quantity of high quality food. The restaurant is also very warm and nice :)

Incredible experience, from the door handle to the exit. Staff were exceptional. We had the oysters (east and west coast) and lamb chops to start, and then had the ribeye (medium and well done) with the Paris mash and fries. Everything was outstanding. Best mashed potatoes and fries I have ever had. You won't be disappointed.

I can’t recommend Gran Tivoli enough. We were in the private room (which is their wine cellar) for a surprise birthday dinner. There were 10 of us and we fit comfortably, you could easily have 12. The staff were amazing, Jason and everyone answered all our questions, were super flexible with the menu and helped put up all the balloons. The sommelier was great and recommended some great wines with our dinner. The food was amazing, everything tasted so good but some of the highlights include the bolognese and the lamb chops. We will definitely be back!! We went to Peppis Cellar afterwards for cocktails and they were great, they saved us a booth for our party so we would have somewhere we could all sit together.

Food was delicious and although the wine was more on the expensive side, it was excellent wine (so, worth it in the end). The ambiance is super cute. I think the best quality of this place is that the music sounds live (except, you then realize that it is chet baker who is playing on a recording)! That really added to the experience (especially if you love jazz). Generally, well worth the price.

Amazing cocktails. Stopped at their speakeasy, Peppi’s Cellar prior and had a few off menu cocktails. The bartender did a great job putting out some unique and flavorful (well blended) drinks. Same quality in the restaurant. Food was delicious and staff did a great job describing the dishes to help with making a selection. Good service, good food/drinks, would highly recommend!

We had our thanksgiving meal at this delightful spot and could not have been more pleased. The food was just fantastic! When I read the menu originally I thought we’d be picking options from the pre fixe- no they brought ALL the food listed. It was a true feast that was thoughtfully planed and wonderfully executed. Live 3 piece jazz group was a bonus. Highly recommend!
