About

FREVO is a Michelin-starred restaurant and contemporary art gallery in Greenwich Village, co-founded by Chef Franco Sampogna and Bernardo Silva.

Chef Franco leads FREVO’s sauce-centered cuisine, rooted in classical French technique and shaped by South American and Asian influences. Bernardo leads the hospitality experience and the contemporary art program. The wine program is led by Beverage Director Quentin Vauléon.

The menu, the gallery exhibition, and the wine pairings rotate every four months.

FAQ

Is the artwork at the gallery for sale?

Yes, it is. FREVO traditionally hosts three to four different art exhibitions per year. For more information about the current show, please email us at art@frevonyc.com

Does Frevo have a dress code?

The dress code is elegant casual. Jackets are not required. FREVO does not allow shorts or flip-flops.

If my plans change, can I get my deposit / pre-sold tasting menu refunded once it is purchased?

All sales are final. Deposits and pre-sold items are non-refundable. However, you can always transfer your reservation to another person.

When do reservations open for future months?

FREVO reservations for the following month open on the 1st day of the current month at 2 p.m. (For example, reservations for February open on January 1st).

Can you accommodate allergies and other dietary restrictions?

Please note that, unfortunately, at this time, we are not able to accommodate vegan or lactose-free diets.

Please note that all food restrictions announced upon arrival will not be accommodated. Please inform the restaurant of any food restrictions through TOCK or email at least 48 hours prior to your reservation.

Please also note that FREVO can not guarantee that your food will be prepared in a nut, dairy, gluten, or allergen-free environment, given the complexity of our kitchens and menus.

There are no precautions we can take to ensure that every food item has been handled in an allergen-free environment by our purveyors during the packing and distribution process. For this reason, please note that we are not able to accommodate guests where cross-contamination can trigger a reaction.

Does Frevo offer beverage pairings?

Yes. Our Beverage Director, Quentin Vauleon, Best Young Sommelier in France 2017, signs our wine list and curates three beverage pairings, Wine Pairing, Premium Pairing, and Non-Alcoholic Pairing, geared towards highlighting the flavors and textures of the tasting menu.

Does every person in my party need to participate in the wine pairings?

No, participation in either of our offered beverage pairings is up to you and your guests. Guests also have the option to order by glass or bottle from our wine list.

What is your corkage policy?

FREVO charges $ 100 for a standard 750 ml bottle. We allow one bottle maximum per reservation.

Are children allowed at Frevo?

We cannot accommodate children under the age of 8 due to the restaurant's configuration. As much as we like babies and children at FREVO, we kindly ask that you respect this policy for the sake of our guests' experience. If you would like to bring your child (over 8 years old), please note that they will count as one more guest and, therefore, require a pre-paid reservation as the remainder of the party. Unfortunately, FREVO does not have storage for trolleys or children's seats.

Can I bring my dog to Frevo?

FREVO loves dogs, but the Department of Health does not.
Emotional Support Dogs are not covered under ADA or New York State Service Dog rules and regulations. Only ADA-approved service dogs are allowed inside with their humans. Thank you for your understanding.

Does Frevo sell gift certificates or gift cards?

Yes, you can purchase your gift card here on our website.

Do you accommodate larger groups?

Reservations online are open for parties of up to six guests.

For larger parties, events, catering or any other inquiries, including the option of a restaurant buyout, please email us at events@frevonyc.com

What happens if I am late to my reservation?

FREVO allows 2.5 hours per seating, counting from the original reservation time. Should you experience a delay, kindly notify the restaurant. In order to ensure a seamless experience for our guests, the establishment adheres to a pre-defined script whereby the kitchen's setup advances throughout the dinner service. Consequently, parties arriving more than 15 minutes late will forfeit portions of the tasting menu, as the kitchen will not be able to revert to the beginning of the menu once the 15-minute tolerance period has elapsed. Therefore, we kindly ask our guests to respect the arrival and end times of the reservation.

What if one or more of our guests can't make it?

If your guest count drops below the reservation's original number, the deposit for the missing guests will be lost.

Can I work on my laptop or tablet while enjoying my experience at Frevo?

At FREVO, we do not allow laptops or electronic tablets during your experience to preserve the experience of other guests.

How long should I expect my dinner to last at Frevo?

This depends on the pace of your party; however, dinner at FREVO lasts an average of two hours for parties of up to four guests.

Can I store a bike or scooter at the restaurant while dining at Frevo?

Unfortunately, we do not have space to store bikes or scooters of any kind.

Can I record the experience, bring a camera, tripod, or other recording device, and install it on the table or counter during my visit to Frevo?

Although we allow small clip recordings with your phone or a small camera, FREVO does not permit permanent recording devices to be set up or installed during your dinner with Frevo in order to preserve the guest experience and privacy.

Private Events

The Space

FREVO is a restaurant and contemporary art gallery at 48 West 8th Street in Greenwich Village — a setting unique in New York City, where a professional gallery program and a Michelin-starred dining room share the same address, connected by a concealed door within the artwork itself.

The two spaces are distinct: a contemporary art gallery at the front, and a 24-seat dining room behind it. The gallery presents rotating exhibitions on a four-month cycle, with original works by contemporary artists. The dining room is built around a 16-seat chef’s counter facing the open kitchen, with two additional tables alongside it.

For full buyouts, both spaces are available. The gallery can be fully configured for brand or personal activations*. Guests then discover the concealed door behind the artwork and cross into the dining room, where Chef Franco Sampogna’s tasting menu awaits.

Throughout the evening, our team delivers precise, personalized service, ensuring an experience that is both discreet and unforgettable.

*Art gallery customizations are available exclusively for full restaurant buyouts.
