Founded by CEO Danny Meyer with the opening of Union Square Cafe in 1985, Union Square Hospitality Group has created some of New York’s most beloved restaurants, cafes, and bars such as Gramercy Tavern, The Modern, Marta and Porchlight to name a few!
Maialino, or "Little Pig" in Italian, is a Roman Style Trattoria within the Gramercy Park Hotel that first opened its doors in November of 2009. Maialino is a true neighborhood trattoria, offering a menu that is reflective of both the tradition of Roman cuisine and the rich culture of modern day New York City. We place an emphasis on seasonal cuisine and source many of the ingredients found on the menu from the local Farmer's Market in Union Square, just a few blocks away. The Bar at Maialino provides exciting cocktails, wine and other beverages to our guests throughout the whole restaurant!
