The New Cork Times

Have a family like myself? Enjoy sharing large portions of Italian food with everyone at your table? Wednesday nights only, enjoy a three (3) course prefix family syle. Ceasar or Mambo Italiano, Spaghetti w/ Meetballs, and Tiramasu. Now THAT's amore!

If Mondays were “Winey”, our Tuesdays are “Cheesey.” We now offer cheese and wine pairings at all of our locations, both wine bars in Gramercy and our restaurant on the Upper East Side. Join us for a pairing of either one, three or five cheeses with wine carefully selected by Exec Chef Luca Marcato.

We quietly began this special a few weeks ago, and it’s slowly becoming a big hit. Every Monday, we offer a 3, 4, or 5 glass tasting of either white, red or sparkling wines. Choose a "Tour" of wines from of Italy, Europe or Around the World, available at all our locations. Just make sure to have your boarding pass ready.

Today we shot segments for our first recipe video, Striped Bass, with artichokes and potatoes, one of the Main Dishes we offer at Cavatappo Grill. Our friend, Donovan, was very helpful with directing and now tirelessly editing the hour or more of footage. Look out for the video to be uploaded soon!

Cavatappo (Italian for corkscrew) first opened in 2005. But my love for collecting corkscrews started on a whim in 1998, around the opening of Luca's Restaurant, when a customer handed me an Alessy designed corkscrew. Now, approaching a decade of serving the Upper East Side and three (3) wine bars later, we have a collection of over 200 corkscrews, some dating as far back the mid 1800's. Next time you stop by, ask about our collection. And if you're looking to rid yourself of an unwanted collection of your mother's old corkscrews, think nowhere else other than Cavatappo.
