In the heart of Tuscany, Paolo & Antonia discovered the town of Altesi, a hidden gem with vineyards kissing castle walls. Once the realm of nobility, it embodied Italian elegance and understated luxury. Paolo & Antonia were enchanted and gave the name to their NYC restaurants.

They invite you to celebrate the connections and friendships made over unforgettable food and wine.

Paolo Alavian has been at 200 Spring St serving classic Italian cuisine for over two decades. He rechristened the space as Altesi Downtown after the success of his Upper East Side townhouse favorite, Altesi Madison.

Downtown features a wood-burning pizza oven, a full bar, and a sidewalk café in the heart of Soho. Come for lunch, dinner or brunch on weekends!
