AN Kitchen was born from a lifelong passion for authentic Italian cuisine. Founded in 2005 by Chef Marco Pato, our restaurant has been a beloved destination for those seeking the true flavors of Italy in the heart of New York. From our hand-rolled pastas to our wood-fired pizzas, every dish tells a story of tradition, quality and love for great food. We source only the finest seasonal ingredients, working closely with local farmers and trusted Italian importers to bring you an experience that is both genuine and unforgettable. Our warm, welcoming atmosphere is designed to make every guest feel like family — because at Pato Place, that is exactly what you are.
Our kitchen is a place where tradition meets creativity. Each recipe has been carefully refined over the years, drawing inspiration from the rich regional cuisines of Italy — from the rustic flavors of Tuscany to the seafood-laden dishes of the Amalfi Coast.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a quiet evening for two, Pato Place sets the perfect mood. Soft candlelight, intimate tables and a carefully curated wine list create an atmosphere that is as memorable as the food itself.
