Entrepreneur Emanuale Nigro opened Osteria 57's doors in 2017. Still in his 30's his dream has always been the belief that "What we eat and drink as well as our surrounding atmosphere can facilitate and support the flourishing of our souls." Thus his restaurant, located in the heart of Manhattan's West Village embodies such a concept.

The owner is inspired through his travels, ancient philosophy, and Ayurvedic as well as Shamanic teachings. He believes we must attune our bodies and souls to the seasons. Being in harmony with this, his menu provides seasonal choices inspired by what he refers to as "the medicine wheel."
