Caffe Reggio on MacDougal Street

Since 1927 Caffe Reggio has served Italian pastries, sandwiches, pasta and "original cappuccino" to hungry Greenwich Village locals and tourists alike (as well as famous poets and folk music artists) . America's oldest cappuccino machine sits in a corner (original Reggio owner Dominic Parasi introduced cappuccino to the US with this very machine) , next to a table marked "reserved" which is never seated. Serpico, The Godfather, Shaft and John Huston's The Kremlin Letter were filmed here; Reggio still serves as a location for new films and TV commercials. Love the chicken sandwiches, espresso and profitto rolls...
From the Reggio site: Looking around the caffe as you sip an Original Cappuccino, you will notice a beautiful array of artwork, some of which date back to the Italian Renaissance period. A dramatic 16th century painting by the Roman master Caravaggio and an antique bench bearing the crest of the illustrious Medici family are among the works that impart a feeling of grace and warmth to Caffe Reggio.


Caffe Reggio proprietor and all around good guy F. Cavallacci...

You can't go wrong with cappuccino, interesting wall decor and ties to the Godfather. Looks like a great place to chat, eat and sip.

Hi Ken. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my site. I like your interesting selection of photos. As we live far away from you it's good to see "The other side." - Dave

I have to say, I have never thought of living in New York, but you make me think I am missing something.

Hope said...

I love this post! Thanks for posting interior photos as well! The portrait of the owner Rocks!

I left you a really long comment on your Route 130 Road Trip post for yesterday. I missed visiting your blog yesterday. I'll try to never let that happen again.

Ahh, reggio... Thanks for the post and the fantastic photos. My boyfriend and I met there for our first (blind) date nearly 4 years ago... we go back for our anniversary every year. They really do have some great cappuccinos and treats.

Marguerite-marie said...

gorgeous, colorful..italian.
Love all the shots and I should like to have a drink or to eat in this place but I wonder if they leave us as long as in France to speak or simply to rest even if your glass is empty.

Diederick Wijmans said...

That is really a nice place worth a visit!! And Mr. Cavallacci seems quite a character. I like the "old-fashioned" way in which he poses.
You presented the right atmosphere of the interior with these photos. Bravo.

Here in Croatia, we have rituals of drinking good caffee/espresso/cappuccino.....It is obviously, influence of Italy..so this text and photos is very close to me....

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.deutafilm.ru]buy generic viagra online in canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
