Neapolitan neighborhood staple Pasquale Jones has officially expanded its Little Italy footprint with the debut of Bar Pasquale, a vibrant new wine bar and eatery paying homage to Sicilian culinary and winemaking traditions.

And since it comes from Delicious Hospitality Group, the team behind buzzy hot spots including Charlie Bird and Legacy Records, you can bet this new outpost will become a fast favorite of the party-ready style set.

Located at 98 Kenmare, next door to the beloved (and still trendy) original, Bar Pasquale serves up reinvented Sicilian dishes courtesy of Chef Ryan Hardy and Chef de Cuisine Christopher Roderick, from shareable veggie and seafood antipasti to handmade pasta to, of course, an entire selection of Sicilian-style square pizza (known as sfincione). The 275-bottle wine list, developed by vino vets Theo Lieberman and Celia Erickson, spotlights unique Southern Italian pours, while cocktails include playful takes on Italian classics and plenty of imported regional spirits.

Nodding to the neighborhood's history, the space is reminiscent of an old school red sauce joint, complete with burgundy leather banquettes and vintage lighting. For those who prefer sipping their spritzes al fresco, the spot also boasts a chic outdoor patio perfect for people-watching.
