It was one of my favorite restaurants! We ate there semi-frequently but Xmas it has been closed. Google says “temporarily” but yelp says “permanently.” Principe has not updated their ig since Dec 18, their website is down, and my husband walked by it today and texted me to tell me that it looked closed for good. Am I optimistic to hope they are just renovating or something? Anywhere I can find something like their rock shrimp malfadine? I’ve literally been making my own version of a snow pea Caesar salad at home because I miss it so much!

Sorry can’t edit typos w an image post!
Did my own digging for anyone curious and it is closed. A new Mediterranean restaurant will be taking its place: https://ny.eater.com/2025/2/18/24364163/catch-restaurant-nyc-tilman-fertitta-eugene-remm-nadav-greenberg-soho-opening
It’s being replaced by a new place from the Catch folks.
That rock shrimp malfadine was so good! And I loved their English muffin-like bread.
Ugh I’m so sad it closed too — I only went twice but planned to make it a regular place, the raw bar, duck, and mafaldine were so good!
