Marta Draws Closer to Unleashing Roman Pizza on NYC

The website for Marta, the Maialino team's new all-day pizzeria in the Martha Washington Hotel, just went live (as did its Twitter and Instagram accounts). Right now the site is just a big, splashy placeholder, with no menus and not a lot of detail. But it does reveal a couple new team members who have signed on to work with Danny Meyer, Terry Coughlin, and Nick Anderer. Joe Tarasco, a vet of Frankies Spuntino, Le Bec Fin, and most recently Gramercy Tavern will work under Anderer (who is still the chef at Maialino) as the restaurant's chef de cuisine. And Peter Juusola, a Boston transplant who most recently was the director of operations at the acclaimed Flour Bakery + Cafe is in as general manager. Marta's opening date is still set for late summer, and the menu still promises to offer thin-crusted Roman-style pizzas cooked over embers. Stay tuned.
