Dante, hailed as one of the world's best bars, is expanding with a new location, Dante Aperitivo, in the West Village. Co-owners Linden Pride and Nathalie Hudson are excited about this unexpected opportunity, aiming to create a welcoming dining experience rather than merely expanding their brand. The restaurant will offer a variety of seafood dishes and affordable cocktails priced around $15, giving customers a reason to visit frequently. In addition, they are working on another project in Nolita, featuring a larger space with a wood-fired oven, expected to open later this year.
The Bank Street space is one of two locations they're working on opening soon, with a larger project in Nolita slated for later this year.
Linden Pride of Dante expresses a long-standing love for the new West Village location, which has led to the unexpected expansion.
Hudson emphasizes that the goal isn't just brand extension but creating a venue that encourages frequent visits with an accessible dining experience.
The new location will focus on affordable cocktails and simple, approachable drinks, steering away from overly complex mixology.
