The hearth: "The home, an abode of comfort and hospitality to strangers"

Marco's cookbook
A most awesome gift

Welcome to Hearth Restaurant, located in Manhattan's East Village. Our food is rooted in the modern traditions of the American kitchen with influences from our Italian heritage. Our wine program is equally modern but finds inspiration in the strangest places.

Most important to us is our expression of hospitality. The hearth is the home and we take this sentiment to heart, aspiring in all manner of ways to exceed expectations.

On Tuesday, January 19th, Hearth held a benefit to help fund the relief effort in Haiti. Our guests helped us to raise over $7,700.00, which we are donating to Partners in Health.  Read the update.
