Wood-Fired Branzino
Whole roasted branzino, charred lemon, salsa verde, grilled radicchio.
A neighborhood restaurant from chef Elena Marchetti. Local farms, an open hearth, and a short menu that changes with the season.
Every plate at Hearth & Co. starts at the fire and ends close to where it was grown. The menu is short on purpose, so the kitchen can cook each dish the way it should be cooked.
From nearby farms
We buy from growers in the Hudson Valley and Long Island, so the menu reads like the season looks.
Cooked over wood
An open hearth does most of the work — vegetables, fish, and whole cuts finished over live fire.
A short menu
A handful of dishes that change weekly, written by chef Elena Marchetti and her kitchen.
A few favorites from the current seasonal menu. The full list changes weekly with what the farms bring in.
Whole roasted branzino, charred lemon, salsa verde, grilled radicchio.
Wild-yeast loaf baked in the hearth, smoked sea salt, house cultured butter.
Ember-roasted heirloom carrots, whipped ricotta, pistachio, honey.
45-day dry-aged ribeye over the fire, bone marrow butter, watercress.
Elena grew up in her grandmother's kitchen outside Bologna, where every meal began at the wood stove and ended with whatever the garden offered that week. She cooked her way through restaurants in Rome and San Francisco before settling in Williamsburg to open Hearth & Co.
Her cooking is plain in the best sense: a few good ingredients from farms she knows, fire, salt, and patience. The menu is short and it changes when the season does.

Reclaimed oak, low light, and the open hearth at the center of the dining room in Williamsburg.

What guests say
The whole meal felt like dinner at a friend's house, if that friend happened to be a remarkable cook. We came for an anniversary and stayed two extra hours.
Everything tastes like it was cooked with intent. The wood-fired carrots alone are worth the trip across the bridge.
A short, seasonal menu that actually changes. Service is warm without hovering, and the room is genuinely lovely at dusk.
