Italian Eatery Pietro’s Returning to NYC at 890 Second Avenue
Italian-style steakhouse Pietro’s, a New York City staple for decades before it shut down last year, has found a new home in Midtown East.
Pietro’s, which first opened in 1932 at 232 East 43rd Street, has signed a 15-year lease to move into 5,022 square feet on the ground floor and lower level of Stellar Management’s 890 Second Avenue, according to tenant broker Cory Gahr of Lee & Associates NYC.
The lease agreement was facilitated by Lee & Associates NYC and Cushman & Wakefield. Pietro’s plans to move into the new space in June and aims to reopen by August. Stellar Management, the building’s owner, expressed enthusiasm about hosting the restaurant in the Turtle Bay neighborhood, highlighting the area’s vibrant mix of businesses, residences, and landmarks.
