The concept of Coarse comes from Brooklyn-born chef and restaurateur Vincent Chirico. Coarse is a restaurant where no menus are needed. Guests feel as if they were in the dining room of the chef himself and lose count of how many dishes they’ve had. From beginning to end, Chef Vincent’s supreme hosting ability leaves unparalleled impressions on his guests, through interactive courses, personalized touches and flowing wine to make each time dining at Coarse a unique experience. Raised by parents of Italian decent, and having spent part of his childhood in the homeland, Chirico’s early years were peppered with all the cultural advantages of a Mediterranean lifestyle. In those early years, Chirico developed a reverence for simplicity and a palate fine-tuned to natural flavors, including time in Japan where he grew to love local techniques, and preparations from the best kitchens in Paris and other European epicenters of flavor.
