Caffe Reggio

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


This arty, ever-popular cafe is a visual treat with Renaissance paintings and marble-topped tables. Serving fresh pastries, panini, cakes, Italian milkshakes (try the 'delizioso') and delectable coffee since 1927, Reggio's claims to be the first American cafe to serve the cappuccino. You can question their claim, but it's hard to deny that they make a good one.
