New Neighbor: Mareluna

We’re pleased to welcome Mareluna, the new Italian restaurant to the neighborhood at 46 West 22nd Street. Founded by restaurateurs and entrepreneurs Marco Britti and Andreea Milgram of Calle Dao, Mareluna offers an innovative take on Italian crowd favorites and multi-regional dishes.

“We are excited to venture out to a new neighborhood,” says the Mareluna team. “We think the area is very well diverse with lots of great businesses across art, fashion, and beauty in addition to beautiful buildings and residences.”

Chef Nick Anson, formerly of Nomad and Spring in Los Angeles, and current Executive Chef at Favela Cubana and Calle Dao has curated Mareluna menus that focus on local meat and game offerings. Start your meal with flavor-rich appetizers such as, Crocchette di Parmigiana made with slow roasted-eggplant, San Marzano tomatoes, parmesan espuma, and basil, or Grilled Ox Tongue Bruschetta featuring Arrabiata, salsa verde, herb medley, and pickled shallot. For a second course, choose from a variety of delicious pastas, including Wild Boar Ragu with mafaldine and eight-hour braised boar, Pomodoro Fresco with bronze cut spaghetti, or Mushrooms al Tartufo with stuffed gnocchi. Order a main dish from Grilled Branzino with crispy fingerling potatoes and prosciutto to Italian Hot Chicken with Calabrian hot oil, arrabiata, and lemon salad.

Additionally, Mareluna offers brunch including appetizers, sandwiches, pastas, and mains. Highlights feature a Market Vegetable Frittata, Panettone French Toast, and Bistecca all’Uovo.
