Assistant Server

Oriana is the latest venture from Chef Andy Quinn and Sommelier Cedric Nicaise, an evolution of The Noortwyck and a new expression of their shared vision. The restaurant is slated to open in May.

Oriana is where fire meets flavour in the heart of Nolita. We deliver technique without the formality and are focused on reclaiming what a wood-fired restaurant is. Oriana honours the legacy of great New York restaurants while creating something new: a downtown restaurant where food, wine and culture come together. Our goal is to create world-class food, deliver thoughtful hospitality and contribute something lasting to New York City’s culinary landscape.
