Minetta Tavern is a restaurant owned by Keith McNally in Greenwich Village.

[4] It was also used as a speakeasy, hosting writers such as Joe Gould, who was rumored to receive his mail at the pub due to the frequency of his visits.

[5] Keith McNally took over the restaurant in 2008 when it was owned by former busboy Taka Becovic and served family style Italian food.

After Sieveri sold the Tavern to Becovic, he returned every year for his birthday dinner until his death.

The restaurant closed in early May 2008, reopening in 2009 with a focus on French bistro food.
