NYC restaurateur Giuseppe Bruno launching private club
Giuseppe Bruno, the owner of the renowned Italian restaurants Sistina, Caravaggio, and San Pietro, is set to open his first members-only venue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Known for catering to the Wall Street, political, and entertainment elite, Bruno and his family have created a legacy in the culinary world. With his brothers and daughter by his side, Bruno aims to elevate Sistina into a high-end supper club, offering exclusive dining experiences and private gatherings.
Bruno’s vision is to deepen relationships with guests while attracting new generations to the Sistina family. By creating exclusive spaces within the restaurant, Bruno hopes to compete with Manhattan’s top social clubs and offer a unique dining experience to those with discerning tastes.
Having built their empire from humble beginnings as waiters and doormen, the Bruno brothers bring their heritage and culinary talents from southern Italy to the heart of New York City. Sistina, established in 1983, has become a staple for those who appreciate fine dining and exceptional wines.

With a clientele that includes Wall Street moguls and celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, Sistina continues to draw in the elite for its exceptional cuisine and impeccable service. Bruno’s goal is to open new doors and offer a club-like experience while maintaining the warm hospitality that has defined Sistina for over four decades.
Whether you’re indulging in their upscale Neapolitan dishes or savoring a glass from their impressive wine list, Sistina promises an unforgettable dining experience. As Bruno embarks on this new chapter, he aims to elevate the legacy of his family’s restaurants and create a culinary haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
