Our mission is an atmosphere that feels like home, where every meal celebrates authentic Mediterranean flavors and healthy choices, shared among friends and family on the Hudson River.
About Us
Mediterranean Soul, New York Edge
Perched atop Pier 57 at Hudson River Park in Manhattan, ofCorsica NYC is a waterfront Mediterranean restaurant with sweeping views of the Hudson River. Inspired by the sun-drenched island of Corsica, this chef-driven concept from City Winery founder Michael Dorf brings the rustic charm and authentic flavors of the Mediterranean coast to the heart of New York City.
At the center of ofCorsica is the cuisine of Executive Chef Andrew Minitelli, who draws on his extensive training and experience in New York’s top kitchens, including IRIS, to create dishes that are refined yet soulful. His menus highlight fresh seafood, seasonal produce, olive oil artistry, and are paired with the largest Corsican wine collection in New York City.
The dining room captures the breezy elegance of the Mediterranean coast, featuring soaring arched ceilings, natural textures, artwork by acclaimed artist Tobi Kahn, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with light. A communal table for 12 guests anchors the back of the restaurant, while curved banquette seating encourages comfort and connection. The result is a casually sophisticated atmosphere—elevated yet approachable.
Whether you’re gathering with friends, planning a romantic dinner in Chelsea, or savoring a sunset glass of wine with a view, ofCorsica NYC offers a transportive Mediterranean dining experience in Manhattan, rooted in authenticity, hospitality, and the spirit of the Mediterranean.
