Abruzzo native Luca Di Pietro opened the original Tarallucci e Vino restaurant in NYC’s East Village in 2001 and expanded to four other Manhattan locations in subsequent years. Earlier this month, he closed all but his Upper West Side eatery in response to efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the city.
Now, in addition to providing take-out and deliveries for New Yorkers, he’s established Feed the Frontlines NYC so people can donate meals to healthcare workers who are on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19.
