This friendly Northen Italian Restaurant has been serving New Yorkers and the like since the winter of 1987. It is an offshoot of Salumeria Biellese, the Italian sausage maker, established in 1925, providing charcuterie to some of the finest restaurants in America.

Step inside Biricchino and you'll find a newly decorated dining room accented with a granite floors and tables, surrounded by a friendly and knowledgable staff. A private room is also available for special occasions. An assortment of mixed grilled sausages with a salad is a nice meal. While the combinations of the sausages change daily, you're certain to find something that pleases the palate.

*We are closed on Saturdays during July and August.

Example of some of the daily selections are:

• Chicken-apple sausage flavored with cognac
• Duck with Grand Marnier and orange peel
• Rabbit and wild mushrooms, and the list goes on!

Also, you must try the "Antipasto Biricchino." This traditional dish will provide you with an array of salami, sopressata, coppa, prosciutto, bresaola, and fresh mozzarella. Biricchino specializes in homemade pastas such as "Malfatti Piemontesi", a homemade ravioli stuffed with veal, prosciutto and parmigiano cheese in light vegetable sauce. There are some wonderful well-executed entrees to choose from as the menu has something for everyone. For dessert, you must try the most remarkable Tiramisu in town made with espresso laced champagne bisquits layered in mascarpone mousse.

We hope you find a pleasant dining experience as we are happy to serve you. We thank you for your patronage and look forward seeing you soon.
