Chef Giuseppe Bruno

It all begins with an idea. Add fresh produce, impeccable recipes and a large amount of passion and thus-Sistina Restaurant was born. Located in the heart of Manhattan’s glamorous Upper East Side, Giuseppe Bruno’s cutting-edge concept carries on the long-lived family tradition of serving great food to his devoted patrons and to the greater New York area. He believes in fresh comfort food which is the wisdom of his Salerno ancestors from Southern Italy. Giuseppe Bruno goes to the market daily to pick the freshest that the market can offer: from fish to meat, and vegetables from local farmers. After spending 33 years on second avenue, Sistina has relocated to a gorgeous townhouse on 81st Street between Madison and 5th avenue. As Owner, Executive Chef and Sommelier, Giuseppe provides a divine dining experience from start to finish.
