In Italian the word “borgo” means “village” and that is exactly what Andrew Tarlow and his team are aiming to create with Borgo at 124 East 27th Street.
Instagram account @newopeningsnyc posted an image of Borgo’s dramatic green exterior.
Borgo is under the umbrella of The Marlow Collective which has historically only dabbled with Brooklyn-based restaurants. Other concepts in the collective include Diner, Marlow & Sons, Roman’s, Achilles Heel, She Wolf, Marlow & Daughters, Marlow Events, and Stranger Wines & Spirits.
A feature article in Grub Street notes that Borgo is a 9,000 square-foot space at the intersection of NoMad, Flatiron and Gramercy. There is seating for up to 140 guests inside. A graphic of a hilltop on Sicily featured on Borgo’s website and on the menu is by Drew Heffron.
The menu has been refined by chef Jordan Frosolone who has worked in Spoleto and Florence, Italy to master the art of Italian cooking. Frosolone has worked at Hearth, Momofuku, Sessanta in the 60 Soho Hotel, 10 Cross Como and Leopard at Des Artistes.
Tarlow mentioned in his Grub Street interview that dishes will include a garlic dip scurdalia, ancient-grain spaghetti with Calabrian anchovies and chiles, and pork ribs with fennel pollen.
What Now NY did not immediately hear back from the Borgo team for a comment.
Borgo is going to open in September of this year.
