Rustic wood-fired Italian trattoria in the historic Manganaro building, with a private wine cellar for events
Description
Tavola Hell's Kitchen is a rustic Italian trattoria at 488 9th Ave in Midtown West, occupying the historic former Manganaro Grocery Store building established in 1893. Operated by Chef/Owner Nick Accardi, the restaurant cooks with a custom double wood-burning oven and serves regional specialties from Sicily, Puglia, and Rome, alongside wood oven-fired Neapolitan pizza, traditional pasta, and seafood. For events, Tavola offers two distinct spaces: a private Speakeasy Wine Cellar on the lower level that seats up to 30 guests, and the ground-floor Main Dining Room, which accommodates up to 50 guests around the wood-burning oven. Both spaces carry the building's 140-year history through eclectic Italian decor. Private events are supported with customizable, seasonal prix fixe menus and a curated selection of regional Italian wines. The venue accommodates business lunches, corporate dinners, cocktail receptions, birthdays, rehearsal dinners, and holiday parties. Walk-ins are welcome for regular dining, but advance reservations are strongly recommended for large groups and private dining.
