In Neapolitan dialect, the word “obicà” translates as “here it is,” and if you’re looking for some of the freshest and most authentic Italian in New York City, point yourself to Obicà Mozzarella Bar Pizza e Cucina, where you’ll find it served right before your eyes.  Started in Italy in 2004, Obicà now has restaurants in international gateways like Rome, Milan, Florence, London, Tokyo, and L.A.

In New York City, Obicà holds down a soaring space in the Flatiron District. Wood, exposed brick, and flattering lighting come together to create a warm atmosphere within a historic building. (A second location can be found in midtown in the form of a mozzarella bar in the atrium of the IBM Building.)
