Pisticci Restaurant Sustainability Actions

High-efficiency operations

The greenest power is the power you do not use, so we invest in high efficiency kitchen equipment and lighting, compost our waste, use recyclables, and teach our staff and customers on small changes they can all afford to make a difference.

Powered by wind only

After maximizing our efforts to reduce consumption and waste, we power our restaurant by wind only, and offset the rest by planting trees. We were the first restaurant in NYC to be 100% Carbon Neutral.

Triple bottom line approach

When we first opened Pisticci in 2002 it was a new venture for us, having no prior restaurant experience. Our goal was simple; create a neighbor restaurant, the type we enjoyed going to. We stopped looking at Pisticci as only a restaurant but as a place for change. And we wanted to know if a business could continue to do well while doing good. That’s when we started looking at our triple bottom line: People, Profit, Planet.

Employee profit sharing

The first step was our own front door. We started profit sharing with our employees, set up flextime so they control their own hours and respect their goals.

Pisticci Full Circle Farm

We took that personal commitment and spent the past three years developing an organic urban farm. From there we came to better understand the connection between good food, our health, the environment, and our community. That understanding inspired us to start our own farm, Pisticci Full Circle Farm. At Pisticci Full Circle Farm we are turning restaurant food waste into premium quality vegetables.

Composting food scraps

The organic matter is derived from our food scraps, your diner napkins and all our paper products. We compost all this material behind our restaurant then take it up to our farm where it feeds the seedlings that, when mature, will make it back to your plate.
