Walls of glass face a West Village pedestrian parade yielding to an industrial modern décor of wide flank wood floors, whitewashed rafter ceiling and semi-open kitchen adorned in potted herbs and hand-painted tiles. A scene equally fit for Gwyneth Paltrow or Joni Mitchell, seating comes ay a series of rattan-accented bistro chairs tucked under well-worn tabletops and dramatic freestanding banquettes that hover somewhere between reclaimed and Gustavian in style.
The Food
A lunch and dinner menu honed by a former-Batali chef is best navigated via the rooftop garden that fulfills many a recipe with produce that harvested within hours of eating. The result is a line-up of fresh-baked foccacias, medley of salads including a celery Caesar and main course of skirt steak, lam leg and market fish topped with pea vines and cherry tomatoes.
Last Word
You don’t expect to find a farm-to-table Tuscan-style trattoria at West 10th Street and Greenwich Avenue that would make even Alice Waters proud, but alas that’s what you find at good-for-you foodie Rosemary’s that marries Tuscan cuisine with a rooftop farm and stylish interior fit for West Village elite.
