On Saturday, December 21st, we held our final service at Contento – a night that was nothing short of extraordinary. The love and support we've received over the past few weeks have left us profoundly grateful. Please know, this isn’t a moment for sadness. It marks not an end, but the closing of a remarkable chapter filled with cherished memories. Each of us at Contento is looking ahead with excitement as we embark on our next adventures.

To honor Contento’s legacy, the best way forward is to continue supporting the disability community. Across the country, countless organizations are doing incredible work to uplift this growing yet often overlooked population. Your support can truly make a difference.

For those who visited Contento, you may remember the photo of Anthony Bourdain that hung in the bathroom. His words have long resonated with us, and as we step into the future, we leave you with this quote – a reflection of our journey:

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o'clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you've never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyway. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."

– Anthony Bourdain

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to new beginnings, and may the spirit of Contento live on in all of us.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Contento Team

✨ A Heartfelt Thank You ✨

We are incredibly proud to share that we’ve made it back into the Michelin Guide for another consecutive year—a true testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion poured into every detail here on our cozy corner of 111th Street.

While the time has come to say goodbye, there is nothing to be sad about. This chapter of our journey is closing, but we believe the universe has greater plans in store.

We’re so proud of what we’ve built and the memories we’ve created with all of you. We invite you to stop by, share a meal, and say hello one last time before we close our doors on December 21st.

Perfect Sunday afternoon at Café Boulud NYC, made even better by seeing the legendary Chef Daniel Boulud! Although I never had the chance to work directly with him, it would have been a dream come true. Chef Boulud and I share roots at Le Cirque, where he left his mark and I had the good fortune to begin my journey. Today, I'm grateful to work with many incredible people influenced by his vision. Chef, thank you for inspiring us all to keep climbing, challenging ourselves.
