Come in for drinks or dinner 7 days a week

The bar at Restivo's is a restored, antique, wood bar brought over from The Old Country.

The barkeep has worked here "forever" which means all of the 15 years Restivo's has been in Chelsea.

Check out the wine list - but you might as well stop at the house red. If it's Italian, its gotta be good!
