Peasant

In addition to running his namesake Tribeca restaurant, Restaurant Marc Forgione (which is temporarily closed for renovations) and One Fifth in Greenwich Village, Marc Forgione debuted as the new chef and owner of Peasant—a wood-fired Italian spot and popular neighborhood gem on Elizabeth Street—in 2020. Known for its rustic food and charm, the evening hotspot features a menu with staples like tableside Bucatini Carbonara, Rotisserie Lamb Ragu, and a Family Style Pig Roast. Additionally, keep date night going with a stop by Forgione’s latest update to the decades-old Nolita restaurant: Peasant Wine Bar, a candle-lit space accessed through a hefty barn door in what was previously their wine cellar now serving lesser-known Italian grape varietals along with hearth-cooked dishes.
