i think i have probably passed by this restaurant hundreds of times and finally tried it last night. the entrance is around the corner on a quieter street, so looks very unassuming when you’re walking past on 1st ave.we all got the restaurant week deal and it was definitely a deal at $45 for 3-courses (additional charge for upgrades). we got to try everything. our highlights were: garlic bread (so buttery 😍), gazpacho, fish cake, campanelle, beans, and almond cake for dessert. would definitely come back again during restaurant week. - Lori Lam

Hearth Introduce

Hearth is a true culinary treasure nestled in the heart of New York City's East Village. More than just a restaurant, it is a warm and inviting destination that blends the rustic charm of Tuscan-American cuisine with the refined elegance of a fine dining experience. We are proud to be a beacon of honest, delicious food, with a philosophy centered on using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients that not only taste good but make you feel good.

Since opening, Hearth has become a beloved classic, a place that New Yorkers return to again and again. The ambiance is both upscale and cozy, creating a perfect backdrop for a romantic dinner, a celebratory family gathering, or a casual meal with friends. Our commitment to quality extends beyond the plate, as we also offer a meticulously curated wine list featuring smaller, independent producers, with a bounty of organic, natural, and biodynamic bottles.

We believe in a dining experience that is both sophisticated and unpretentious. Our team, led by James Beard Award-winning Chef Marco Canora, is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and food that speaks for itself. Whether you’re a long-time regular or a first-time visitor, you'll feel the passion and care that goes into every dish.

Hearth is located at 403 E 12th St, New York, NY 10009. While situated just off the bustling 1st Avenue, its entrance on a quieter street gives it an intimate and almost hidden feel, making it a delightful discovery for those who seek it out.

The restaurant is easily accessible by public transportation, with several subway stations within walking distance, including the L train at 1st Avenue and the 6 train at Astor Place. This makes us a convenient spot for a pre-theater dinner, a leisurely brunch, or a late-night dessert.

We are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible dining experience for all guests.

In a city with a plethora of fine dining options, what makes Hearth the place worth choosing? It is our unique combination of an upscale dining experience with a truly comfortable, rustic, and welcoming feel.

Our food is the main attraction. The menu is creative and delicious, with a focus on simple yet perfect execution. Dishes like our buttery Garlic Bread, the flavorful Campanelle, and our famous Grass-Fed Beef & Ricotta Meatballs are customer favorites that consistently receive high praise. During NYC Restaurant Week, we offer a three-course prix-fixe menu that allows diners to sample a variety of our best dishes, making it an incredible deal.

The atmosphere at Hearth is another key factor. While it offers a fine dining experience, it’s not stuffy or intimidating. The lighting is soft, the decor is cozy, and the overall vibe is romantic and trendy. The staff is consistently described as "extremely attentive," "friendly," and "accommodating," ensuring that your experience is seamless and pleasant from start to finish. A review mentioned the delightful experience of sitting at the chef's pass, where guests can watch the chefs work, which adds a layer of excitement and appreciation for the food.

Finally, our commitment to quality and sourcing sets us apart. We believe in food that is not only tasty but also responsibly sourced. This dedication to using fresh, organic, and locally-sourced ingredients means every dish tastes better and supports local farmers. This is a place where you can feel good about what you're eating, which is a rare and valuable thing in today's dining scene. We are a timeless classic, a hidden gem that New Yorkers can be proud to have in their neighborhood.
