Maybe it’s the rose colored glasses we’ve been wearing, but doesn’t everyone look good in pink? If so, we’d like to make a case for slathering pink all over the interiors of every single restaurant everywhere, just as the monochromatic-loving team at Pietro Nolita has done. Hitting all the right hues, this New York hot spot is sure to make your next brunch feel rosé-drunk and full of love and happiness.

Pretty in Pink
This casual Italian eatery is reminiscent of the kind of underground place you’d dream of taking your first crush to. Think old school diner but covered in a smattering of pink hues that could rival, nay surpass, your grandmother’s crochet collection. From the windows to the walls, pink drips down every surface of this fun and kitschy 28-seater. A warm and welcoming space, this cozy ristorante is the perfect place to nurse a hangover over brunch with your bestie.
Under the Fashion Influence
Opened by a couple of fashion industry ex-pats who both hail from Italy, Pietro Nolita has nods to the fashion world throughout the menu and the space. A few cocktails are even named after prominent Italian fashionistas. Ground zero for pre- and post-show meet-ups during fashion week, you’re likely to find the owners’ A-list friends stopping by for coffee and a bite. And since the fashion set is all about social media, this spot is seriously lit in 50 shades of pink on Instagram right now. So go on, fashion fangirls, we know you wanna see who you’ll spot over brunch.
Menu a la Mamma
Taking influence straight from the source (aka the owner’s Italian mother), the menu centers around simple Italian fare like fresh fusilli al limone, pressed panini, and handmade gnochetti. Head over for brunch, and you’re in for a real treat. We literally would not be able to say no to the coffee waffle with blackberries, candied almonds, amaretto syrup, and whipped mascarpone. And yes, we *will* take a Violetta Fizz to wash that down with, grazie mille!
Perfectly Pink in Nolita
Located on Elizabeth Street in Nolita, this little retro pink nano-diner fits right in with the fashionable surrounds. For those strolling through the city looking for a brunch spot, Pietro Nolita offers up a perfectly pink respite from wandering the busy neighborhood. So why not don your best blush tones and head on over.
