One Fifth in Greenwich Village is the newest restaurant in the Respect Hospitality group owned and operated by Chef Marc Forgione.

About One Fifth

Located at the iconic namesake address 1 Fifth Avenue, overlooking Washington Square Park. The restaurant takes its seasonal cues from the neighboring Union Square Greenmarket and is grounded in a classic New York sensibility with an Italian accent.

The menu consists of a bounty of cicchetti (Italian small plates), house made pastas, Roman inspired pinsa, and a rotating selection of seasonal vegetables and larger plates, designed for a festive shareable meal regardless of the time of day.

The vibrant bar scene serves as the living room for the neighborhood and is fueled by classic cocktails with an Italian twist, Amari from all 20 regions of Italy and a deep wine list highlighting some of the most sought after winemakers from Italy and the United States.
