Federici Bistro

Clinging to the Princess Theatre on Spring Street, this art deco bistro runs on strict stage time. Theatregoers treat it as their pre-show staging ground—claiming a table early to share wine, dissect programs, and read the resident ghost lore printed on the cutlery sleeves. The kitchen moves fast. Plates of arancini and cauliflower with kimchi sauce arrive quickly while espresso hums at the bar. The floor crew syncs service to the evening run sheet down to the minute: order before act one, slip into the auditorium, and return to find your table held with dessert waiting at intermission.
