A taste of Italy in the Big Apple

An unmissable stop during NY Design Week, Cafè Ginori at Bergdorf Goodman, an ambassador of Italian style, fuses gastronomy and art by offering an authentic Italian dining experience, elegantly presented on Ginori 1735 porcelain

New York City, a vibrant tapestry of cultures and innovation, pulses with an undeniable energy, especially during Design Week. From the cutting-edge studios of Brooklyn to the sophisticated galleries of Manhattan, the city’s creative spirit is on full display. Amidst the whirlwind of exhibitions and events, take a moment to indulge in a truly unique experience: a taste of Italian artistry at the Ginori Cafè, nestled within the iconic Bergdorf Goodman.

Think of it as a miniature Roman holiday, right in the heart of NYC. The Cafè Ginori is more than just a place to grab a cappuccino; it’s an immersive journey into the world of Ginori 1735, a name synonymous with Italian porcelain excellence for centuries. This isn’t your average cafe; it’s a meticulously curated space where gastronomy meets the art of plating.
As a true ambassador of Italian style, the Ginori Cafè offers a dining experience that is as visually stunning as it is delicious. Forget predictable menus – here, each visit promises a fresh perspective, with seasonal offerings that reimagine classic Italian flavors with a playful, modern twist. From an invigorating breakfast to a celebratory aperitivo, every moment is designed to be savored.

But what truly sets the Ginori Cafè apart is the artistry with which each dish is presented. Imagine enjoying your meal on a masterpiece of porcelain, carefully selected from Ginori 1735’s most iconic collections. The chefs, acting as modern day “Masters of Plating,” expertly pair culinary creations with the intricate designs of Ginori’s plates, creating a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

And if you find yourself captivated by the beauty of the tableware, you’re in luck! The Cafè offers a seamless experience, allowing you to purchase these exquisite pieces directly, either in person or through their digital boutique.
