A new Italian restaurant is looking to replace Da Silvano, the longtime Greenwich Village staple that closed last year after 41 years serving the Village.

The restaurant, run by its famous owner Silvano Marchetto, was as well known for its Italian dishes as its popularity among celebrities and New York's elite. Da Silvano was frequented by stars including Madonna, Tom Hanks and Anna Wintour. Rihanna visited so frequentlythat she made the restaurant an anniversary video in 2013 and it became a hotspot for tourists hoping to spot a star in the wild.
