Rosella

Rosella is the only sustainable sushi restaurant in the City, featuring untraditional fish like porgy and steelhead trout from New York. The wood-detailed East Village space is warm and lively, with servers offering tastes of unfamiliar wine and sake (some of it Brooklyn made) to help make up your mind. For sourcing, partners Jeffrey Miller (the chef) and TJ Provenzano adhere to fishing practices approved by Seafood Watch or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). To sample what’s on hand, try a chirashi bowl of sushi rice topped with a seasonal selection of sashimi and roe, avocado and tamago (Japanese omelet). Omakase and à la carte options are available.
