Editorial Review for My Befana – by Kiri Tannenbaum

In Short
Kids in Italy anxiously await the celebration of Epiphany which brings La Befana, the good witch, who stuffs stockings with yummy goodies. Chef and owner Daniele Baliani wants to spread the same joy to New Yorkers by offering home delivery of prepared seasonal organic cuisine. In addition to his "bundle" system--breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner--the storefront offers soup, sandwiches, a fresh antipasto bar and grilled items served in an airy and bright setting.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Though the crux of this sprawling operation is the personal chef service, there are several high top tables for those who prefer to dine in.

The Extras

All sandwiches are served on fresh-baked Sullivan Street bread, the neighboring Soho bakery.

I heard about it through a friend. I wanted a reservation on Saturday for 8pm, they were booked until 9:30. When I got there I was kind of dissapointed by the location, but the food was well worth it. Kudos to the Chef! Overall worth the wait.

It was great. I ordered 5 bundles and didn't have to get it consecutively. It is great that they understand the crazy schedules of New Yorkers. I will resign with them and get my summer dstarted righjt by eating healthy!! Daniele, the Chef, really knows how to give his food great taste without adding butter or heavy creams. It's incredible. The snapper was fresh and tasty (my side was grilled pportobella shrooms with sage and balsamic & curried cauliflower gratin). My snack was fava bean hummus chips which was the perfect amount to hold me til dinner. MUST TRY

Pros: FOOD

Cons: they don't deliver just one meal outside of a 10 block radius of their store
