About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Nearly 2 grateful decades later the Chef & Owner Joey Campanaro humbly Introduces Little owl's, the Chef's Room, our newest twin dining room, just 1 door down Bedford street, in the Friends Building at Bedford and Grove, accepting reservations for Lunch, Brunch, Dinner and Private Dining. Along with Lisa Komara's expertly chosen wine list, we offer bold-flavored, Seasonal-Mediterranean American cuisine with friendly, professional service. We accept reservations for parties of up to 6 guests, in our cozy dining rooms in the storied West Village. We're a corner gem with a big pork chop and an even bigger heart— serving with love since 2006. From bridal showers, to product launches, you can book fully private, affordable, lunch meetings, dinner parties and brunch events in the Chef's room-up to 24 people. Not all tables are reserved so walk ins are encouraged. To reserve the bar, the best seats in town, please contact the restaurant.

Thank you for being a part of our Little Owl Family!

Small venue but intimate. Lively. Food is incredible. Crispy chicken and steak excellent. Sliders were delicious. I never order dessert but we split the beignets and they will go down as my favorite dessert at a restaurant ever. Service was excellent.

My teen daughter and I ate here for our first time. We both loved it! The summer salad and eggplant parmesan were so delicious. The char was out of this world! Excellent, friendly service and we weren’t rushed either. Will definitely return!
