LUCA & PEPI

Natives of Italy’s Abruzzo region, partners Pepi Di Giacomo and Luca Di Pietro founded the first Tarallucci e Vino café a decade ago, frustrated by the lack of well-prepared espresso in Manhattan.

Passionate about authentic Italian food and wine, and building on their professional backgrounds in the hospitality, coffee and wine industries, Di Giacomo and Di Pietro have created four outposts and a catering division, each different, but all staying true to their love for Italian cuisine and their need to share their passion with their customers.

OUR CHEF

Chef Riccardo Bilotta joined Tarallucci e Vino in 2008.

Before landing at Tarallucci e Vino, he was at some of Europe’s most prestigious restaurants, such as the two-Michelin starred La Broche and El Celler de Can Roca in Spain and il Pellicano in Italy.

Chef Bilotta’s inspiration is a blend of traditional Italian cuisine and modern culinary techniques. The result is an innovative and elegant menu that changes with every season.
