The Kitchen
Welcome to Cellar 1957
Cellar 1957 is an Italian restaurant and wine bar on Vine Street, Brooklyn. The day starts early with an espresso and a cornetto, carries on with a quick but carefully made lunch, and ends at dinner with fresh pasta and a glass of something good from the cellar.
In the kitchen, our chef and team cook seasonal Italian recipes with local ingredients and no rush. Out front, our host is waiting: come as you are, stay as long as you like.
