ATHLEISURE LIST | A TAVOLA

La Devozione opened November 2021. It's an authentic pasta restaurant and guests will experience an authentic Italian cucine and a in a very comfortable atmosphere. They are located inside of Chelsea Market.

This was a dream of third-generation pastaio Giuseppe di Martino, CEO & President of Pastificio Di Martino (est. 1912), La Devozione is an ode to pasta brought to life in New York City. It is the heritage pasta company’s first brick-and-mortar experience in the United States. Their multi-concept pasta destination includes a retail shop, coffee and cocktail bar; an elegant. 30-seat oval pasta bar, and more casual dining seating at A Tavola, inviting guests to discover over 126 distinct shapes of their Pastificio Di Martino's PGI Gragnano pasta firsthand.

A Tavola offers a full pasta menu that includes some appetizers, their Seasonal and Untouchable pasta recipes and finally a choice of a few desserts. Located within La Devozione’s pasta shop area with additional seating outside (coming Spring 2023), A Tavola is La Devozione’s more casual, á la carte menu offering a selection of informal trattoria-style fare including starters, rotating seasonal pastas and signature Di Martino favorites like "The Untouchables."

All around this area are their products displayed for sale: 126 different pasta shapes displayed all along the side wall, some beautiful ceramics made in Italy and hand painted displayed on a big table in the middle of the restaurant together with some books with pasta recipes as well as some colorful and beautiful Moka pots. In addition, their tin boxes are designed by Dolce Gabbana.

We suggest trying their signature dish La Devozione (Spaghetti, tomato sauce, basil) a classic Neapolitan recipe that shows the versatility of their pasta, Candele con ragu napoletano and Ziti alla Genovese. The last two recipes are typical Neapolitan recipes.

Led by Bar Manager Cristhian Rodriguez, La Devozione's cocktail bar offers guests cocktails, wine and beer. Here, guests will find twists on classic cocktails that celebrate Italy's appreciation for food and sustainability. The Cocktail menu changes often throughout the year, right now one of our favorites is the Winter Brumble (Vodka, Old Duff Genever, lemon, Cranberry-Hibiscus, and winter spices), Let’s Get It Started (Tequila Marolo Milla, Honey, Ginger and Lemon, and the Espresso Martini (Vodka, Amaro della Sacra, black coffee liquor, hazelnut-miso and espresso).
