Macchina to be Replaced by Another Italian Spot

December 31, 2017 | 11:07 AM
in NEWS, OPEN/CLOSED
9

Macchina just closed a few days ago, but its replacement is already advertising its impending opening. Il Gatto Nero put up a sign in the window of the restaurant at 2758 Broadway between 105th and 106th Street.

We had reported on Il Gatto Nero’s application for a liquor license without realizing it was going into this space. At the time, the restaurant’s reps said it will have a sit-down bar and 27 tables. It’s apparently being run by the former general manager of Macchina, who is taking over the restaurant with a partner, according to community board minutes.

Thanks to Joe F. for the photo. Thanks also to Daren for the tip.

So the SoCo [ha,ha-real estate speak for south of Columbia U,area] will have five modern Italian restaurants, not counting venerable ‘red sauce’ V&T’s, plus two more to the north. And not one classic NY Chinese?! C’mon you entrepreneurs–you can do it. There’s real opportunity and hunger here. The new Panda Express at 111th /Bwy doesn’t count!

Try Hot Pot on 108th street and Broadway for authentic Chinese! It is awesome.

I only consider food in Chinatown as “real” Chinese food…

Hopefully the food is better at the new spot. I was always disappointed by the kitchen here.

My family loved Macchina! Hoping the new spot is just as great.

Macchina had excellent wood fired pizza and the staff was super friendly. Glad to see the same management team remaining and hopefully the same staff will be there. Serafina is a crappy chain past its prime.
