The major Italian food emporium, Eataly, offers more than just fresh pasta and unbelievable gelato (and prosciutto, and panini, and olive oils... you get the picture). In its New York City iteration, it also boasts a rooftop restaurant famous for its over-the-top seasonal decor—and it has just officially decked the halls for the holidays.

Serra by Birreria made headlines this spring when the entire restaurant was covered in colorful flowers. Now, the design team from Milkyway Studios has pulled off another gorgeous transformation. The decor, which is entirely handmade, is primarily made of flocked branches with pine and lights. Inspired by a cozy cabin, the space is designed to feel like a wonderland of trees and snowflakes. The installation took four over-night sessions to complete.

With the new look comes a new seasonal menu that focuses on truffles, winter squash, and celery root, with dishes like a braised osso buco for two, and Italian-style fondue of Fontina d'Aosta. And, now through November 17th, Serra Alpina is offering special two-course prix-fixe menus for lunch and dinner as part of Eataly's Restaurant Fest. Now is definitely the time to visit, but make sure to make a reservation ahead of time—this rooftop is one of the hottest spots in the city come the holiday season.
