• Italian • Downtown
Booked 12 times today
Urban Italia is rooted in the spirit of the Italian immigrants who came to America, mostly to New York, in search of a better life. With memories of home and limited means, they recreated the dishes they loved using what they could find. Meat became more plentiful, tomatoes were canned, and garlic was used with fearless abandon. From this came the bold, comforting flavors we now call Italian American cuisine.We call it Italia Merica, a genre of its own.It is where red sauce meets red blooded ambition. Where spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parm, and baked ziti are not just food, they are cultural icons. It is grandma’s kitchen, turned up.At Urban Italia, Chef Carla Pellegrino brings this history to life, blending Old World technique with New World swagger. Think hand tossed pizzas from our wood oven, house made pastas, massive meatballs, crisp arugula salads, and indulgent desserts. Nostalgic yet refined. Familiar yet elevated. This is food with soul, heritage, and bold flavor.

    Velour deserves a Michelin not only for the amazing mouthwatering food but also for its first class service. From the moment we walked in, we were so kindly greeted, seated and all through our dinner, the entire staff made you feel at home and appreciated. It was rightfully busy but the way nothing skipped a beat, you felt you were the only one’s there. We were spoiled with champagne service and Nellie our server made all the perfect recommendations. The oysters were mind blowing but all the small bites didn’t fall far behind. I can’t wait to go back again. Thank you Velour, you’ve set a whole new bar.
