$$$$ • Bar de pizzas • Upper East Side
Of course, there’s a story behind our menu. It starts with our chef’s grandparents, Maman and Mimi, who were passionate cooks based in France. In the early 1900s, they closed their Paris-based bistro and moved to Algeria. They raised a family, and their grandson, Jacques, was born – who shared their love for fantastically flavorful food. The mix of French cuisine with Algerian influences introduced them to a new variety of spices and flavors that added a hearty warmth and depth to the meals that go unmatched. Picture the French’s love for fine bread, pastries, and high-quality ingredients mixed with the sun-soaked flavors of Algeria along the Mediterranean. The result is heavenly pasta, pizzas, gelatos, and sides that absolutely burst with flavor. There’s always an interesting interplay of spices and ingredients and a subtle touch of something just a little different.
