Parla
Parla is a spot to celebrate New York-style pizza and Italian-inspired cocktails by the team behind The Smith.
Taking its name from Italian to talk, Parla speaks to our New York City roots and our passion for simple Italian cooking. Both square and round pizzas are the anchor of the menu, along with pastas, veggies, and shareable plates by Executive Chef Brian Ellis. The bar specializes in espresso, wine, and cocktails using a curated selection of amari and vermouth.
