The yet-to-be-named American tavern and steakhouse will breathe new life into 375 Greenwich Street, with the project spearheaded by MFG co-founder Chef Rich Torrisi, alongside partners Mario Carbone and Jeff Zalaznick.
“That is what excites me about this project,” he continued. “It is an opportunity to honor the legacy of an extraordinary address while giving people a completely new reason to walk through the door.”
Tribeca Grill, co-owned by Robert De Niro, shuttered its doors in March 2025 after a 35-year run as a beloved neighborhood fixture frequented by Hollywood heavyweights, Wall Street power players and longtime regulars. De Niro retains ownership of the historic property beloved by stars like John F. Kennedy Jr., Bruce Springsteen and Nelson Mandela.
“Mario, Jeff, and I had been eyeing that space when I happened to cross paths with Bob,” Torrisi said of De Niro. “We talked about the vision. He got it immediately. And just like that, together, we made it real.”
While honoring the legacy of the original space, MFG promises to reinvent the dining room with a fresh concept “built for a new generation of downtown diners,” according to a press release.
“It is impossible to overstate the importance of 375 Greenwich Street in the history of downtown New York dining,” Zalaznick said.
“This is the kind of project that comes along once: the right place, the right moment, and the right chef.”
“We are honored to help carry that legacy forward and write the next chapter for one of New York’s greatest dining rooms,” he added.
Rumors started swirling that MFG was in the process of signing a lease for the commercial space in March. Eater reported at the time that the restaurant would likely keep its name.
While many details remain under wraps, the new outpost is already poised to become one of Manhattan’s hottest reservations, joining Major Food Group’s portfolio of coveted dining destinations, including Carbone, Torrisi, ZZ’s Club, The Grill, Sadelle’s, Dirty French and more.
