About Caravaggio

Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Caravaggio boasts elegant, sophisticated Italian cuisine with a modern twist. The Bruno brothers’ latest cutting-edge concept carries on the long-lived family tradition of serving great Italian food to their devoted patrons and to the greater New York area. Their attention to detail, in both food and service, continues to be their goal as they present guests with the ultimate fine dining experience. They believe in nourishing body and soul, which is the wisdom of their Salerno ancestors from Southern Italy.

In addition to serving outstanding dishes, Caravaggio sets itself apart from all other NYC restaurants with its smooth, inviting ambiance, and impressive art collection. The restaurant serves as an idyllic destination for locals and tourists, but also art-enthusiasts as its one-of-a-kind collection caters to art aficionados. With over a few million dollars worth of artwork throughout the restaurant, Caravaggio is a perfect destination to continue your gallery tour along Museum Mile, even while dining!

Located across from the Whitney Museum of Art and only a few short blocks from New York institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Asia Society, Caravaggio features sculptures and paintings by Donald Baechler and Frank Stella, as well as a custom column and drawings by Beatrice Caracciolo.  Additionally, the restaurant recently purchased 4 original Henri Matisse stencil lithographs that now adorn the walls of the private dining room.

Whether you’re looking to rub elbows with Manhattan’s elite or simply treat yourself to a stellar meal, Caravaggio offers it all. Please be sure to also visit our sister restaurants: Sistina and San Pietro.

The Owner and Executive Chef: Giuseppe Bruno

On July 15th, 2009, Caravaggio opened its doors to New York City for the first time. Located in the heart of Manhattan’s glamorous Upper East Side, Giuseppe Bruno’s latest cutting-edge concept carries on the long-lived family tradition of serving great food to his devoted patrons and to the greater New York area. He believes in fresh comfort food which is the wisdom of his Salerno ancestors from Southern Italy. Giuseppe Bruno goes to the market daily to pick the freshest that the market can offer: from fish to meat, and vegetables from local farmers.
