Established in 1915, Dante (also known as CaffĂ© Dante or Dante NYC) is a landmark Greenwich Village cafĂ© and craft cocktail bar renowned worldwide. Originally a neighborhood Italian coffeehouse frequented by artists and bohemians, today it's owned by Australians Linden Pride and Nathalie Hudson, who revitalized the space in 2015 while preserving its historic charm. In 2019, Dante was crowned Worldâs Best Bar, praised for its hospitality, ambiance, and unparalleled Negroni menuâthe longest in the worldâalongside inventive spritzes and Italian aperitivi classics like the Garibaldi with âfluffyâ highâspeedâjuiced orange juice. The lightâfilled, cozy interior features creamâleather booths, exposed brick walls with vintage photos, wicker chairs, and pressedâtin ceilings, striking a balance between nostalgic cafĂ© society and modern sophistication. Danteâs food menu centers on Italian shareable small plates and familyâstyle dishes: burrata, fennel & orange salad, flatbreads, roasted chicken, seafood specials, pastas, and signature tiramisu. Cocktails include Negroni on tap, Aperol spritzes, martinis, highballs, Garibaldi, Mezcalito, and seasonal spritz offerings. Open every day from morning coffee and breakfast through lunch and dinner, this cafĂ©âbar is perfect for brunch, aperitivo-hour, or cocktails late into the night. The atmosphere is simultaneously cozy, sophisticated, Italianâinspired, and approachableâa true embodiment of New York City's cafĂ©âbar scene.
