Caravaggio — among the best Italian restaurants in NYC
Upper East Side · Since 2009

Among the Best Italian Restaurants in NYC.

Six reasons New Yorkers, visitors, and seasoned diners keep returning to Caravaggio — a Madison Avenue table that's been quietly defining Italian fine dining in NYC since 2009.

Chef & Owner

Giuseppe Bruno

Three decades cooking in New York, rooted in Salerno tradition. Owner, Executive Chef, and Sommelier — every detail passes through him.

The Room

Gio Ponti–Inspired

Framed artwork, candlelit banquettes, and a signature flower mural on a quiet Madison Avenue corner. Italian fine dining meets Italian design history.

The Cooking

Northern Italian Classics

Hand-cut pasta each morning, Mediterranean fish, dry-aged beef. Regional Italian traditions from the Alps to the Amalfi Coast.

The List

Owner-Curated Wine

More than 400 selections personally chosen by Giuseppe — deep Italian roots, with French and New World counterpoints. Pairings on request.

The Setting

Upper East Side

23 East 74th Street, between Madison and Fifth — moments from The Met, Central Park, and the Frick. Outdoor terrace in season.

The Occasion

Built for Celebration

From a 20-seat private alcove to a 100-guest buyout — birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, corporate dinners, and weddings.
