    I very much enjoyed my dinner at the Alice. This restaurant exudes ambiance. It really is quintessential Village with a cozy well decorated vibe and a fun bar in the back. Servers were super friendly and the bartender made an excellent bourbon sour. My pasta dish was tender and accompanied by a delicious cheese - all delicious. Needless to say you pay Manhattan prices for this wonderful dining experience.

    Came here for restaurant week and we had a great time! I've dined before but in the front area so I was excited to be seated in the back - while the front is cozier, the back is more eclectic and fun! Would definitely come again for the Pomodoro - super fresh and still warm, cozy, familiar tastes of spaghetti - and the King Crab Papparadelle with shaved truffle - was an umami blast!

    Salad, Seabass Crudo, Seared Scallop

    Alice is a new favorite of mine in the West Village! The food is great but the restaurant itself is beautiful and fun to eat at! Definitely sit in the back patio if the weather is nice- beautiful with tons of plants and natural light from the glass ceiling. Our server was also incredible- super friendly and chatty. Really made us feel at home. We started off with some drinks- the Safe Passage had an amazing tequila/mezcal hybrid spirit and was refreshing with cucumber notes. The blood orange soda was also tasty! For apps, we started with the Black Seabass Crudo (delicious with an amazing tang from the pickled apricots), Scallops (nicely seared), and the Insalata de Mercato (huge portion and full of fresh veggies that the chef picks from the farmers market daily). They also give you complimentary bread and focaccia and olive oil. The olive oil was fantastic- high quality and delicious! Now for the mains- the Bucatini al Limone is a must order!!! It has an amazing saffron flavor from the homemade pasta, punctuated by bright notes of lemon and a subtle seafood taste from the Armatore Colatura (aged fish sauce). Actually one of my favorite pastas in New York! We also got the Gnocchi Astice (gnocchi was well made, tomato sauce was fine, and lobster and burrata were both plentiful and tasty). Finally for dessert we got the tiramisu and a scoop of the Jasmine vanilla gelato- both were amazing, but the Jasmine vanilla gelato was my favorite between the two. It was predominately vanilla but had a subtle hint of Jasmine that lingered- so unique! Our server also comped the gelato as we were celebrating a birthday, which was super nice of them! Overall had a fantastic experience- will 100% come back (even just for the bucatini!!!)

    I attended here for an art show/ brunch and boy did I love it here. The ambiance was big, cute, and was like a vintage cottage. Service was nice and pleasant the servers were so friendly and nice and accommodating. It was such a nice vibe seeing everyone enjoy themselves. The dj was playing the saxophone while playing house music it was so great. The art that was displayed was also visually pleasing. The food very tasteful the short rib tortellini was so tasteful I would definitely get it again. This place is great for groups and date nights and even a girls night. I highly recommend.

    Truffle arancini
    Heather Marie V.

    Came here with a friend for Restaurant Week brunch. I saw "truffle arancini" on the menu and made the reservation immediately. There was thankfully a lot of availability and I was able to adjust my time that morning with no trouble as I was running late. The vibes, as they say, were immaculate. Everything is beautifully designed and warm and comforting, each room decorated in a different but complementary way. We were seated in the very back where there's a skylight lined with hanging plants. The service was very good, with servers stopping by frequently to check in on us and refill water glasses. My friend and I both ordered the truffle arancini and the cacio e pepe omelette. We hadn't realized that the dessert course wasn't included in the RW menu, so I wish that had been clearer. I got the cannoli and my friend got dark chocolate gelato, which we split. The arancini was some of the best I'd ever had: perfectly fried on the outside and creamier on the inside. The truffle aioli was an incredible topper without being overwhelming. The omelette was delectable but some bites were a bit too cheesy. The salad on the side seemed to be overdressed but ended up being just right. All the veggies were fresh. The cannoli cream was a bit too sweet and the dark chocolate of the gelato just a hair too dark (puts hair on your chest!) but we still enjoyed them. The starter and entree alone were very hearty and filling. Our only problem was that their system automatically charged my friend for extra scoops of gelato, which we were not told was a thing, nor were we given the option for less. Luckily they were able to rectify it quickly and only charged us for one. I appreciated the amount and level of food we got at such an affordable price, and were so happy that we decided to eat there. I'll definitely be back for that arancini.

    Cacio e pepe ravioli
    Rachel C.

    We decided to try this place for restaurant week since we LOVE their sister restaurant Osteria 57 and it did not disappoint! Everything was perfectly executed. I particularly enjoyed the unique flavors with the burrata, the octopus was solid (and the puree with it ), I asked for more bread to finish the sauce from the cacio e pepe ravioli, and the short rib was delicious and tender. I'm not a big dessert person but I did enjoy the cannolis which tasted freshly made and not too sweet. The service and wine were solid too!

    I will say this restaurant has a nice atmosphere and esthetic. I attended for a brunch art event and the music and ambiance was very nice. The artwork on display was beautiful. The Frito appetizer was ok. Could have had more flavor The Short Rib entree was good. Tender The Tortellini had a nice flavor sauce and was cooked perfect. The service was slow and mediocre. Not sure if it was because of the private event.

    Ambiance is amazing! Such a cozy place for date night or dinner with the girls. Went with some girlfriends for restaurant week with their prix fixe $45 3-course dinner, so I can't speak to their menu on a normal night. I got their burrata, lemon bucatini, and raspberry cake. Honestly all three things were delicious, would recommend each.

    Alice food and service were great. All of the staff were attentive to our table and were very friendly. The server was knowledgeable on the menu and provided great recommendations that my friends and I enjoyed. Portions lean a bit smaller on the pastas we got, so might be better to order more if sharing. We sat outside which was still quite warm but would like to go back and be seated inside.

    Food was great very cool spot with beautiful NYC ambiance. The true gem here is the host Carson. What a wonderful guy so hospitable and friendly and he knew the menu inside and out. This will definitely become regular spot for me

    I had high hopes for Alice. Immediately stepping in it was adorable, super cozy with dim lighting. The bar was fantastic, drinks were curated beautifully. Staff was also very nice. But... the food was just okay. Starting off with the fritto misto, it was lackluster. Lacked salt and seasoning of any sort. Really nothing special. Then we waited a while to get our main dish. We got linguine vongole and a side of sautéed mushrooms. Immediately I noticed both dishes were kind of cold which is a disappointment especially for a pasta dish. The linguine was underdone, more than just al dente and was served with only a few clams. Overall both my friend and I were disappointed.

It ended up being a nice spot for a casual catch-up, though with a few mixed impressions. The space itself is cute and very much feels like a neighborhood bar. One of the things we liked most was that they have games available--we ended up playing Scrabble while waiting for our friend to arrive, which made the time go by quickly and added to the relaxed vibe. Happy hour prices are solid, and the fried pickles we shared were decent. I also had a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly fine, if not particularly memorable. Service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender wasn't very warm or welcoming to us initially, though that changed once our friend--who is a regular--arrived. Overall, it's a comfortable spot to meet friends and hang out for a few hours, especially on a weekday like Thursday. That said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I can see why it works well as a local neighborhood hang.

    There are some pros and cons about this place, but it was pretty neat overall!…read more Came here with friends (group of 4) on a Saturday night, so we paid the $10 cover. Which is fine in my opinion because they have live jazz and I love that. I also love a bar with an activity outside of just drinking. Some pros: so many games and pool tables and live jazz and decent beer Some cons: not many seats, long waits for the pool/ping pong/foosball tables on a weekend, loud (not a place to get to know someone I'd say) Overall it's definitely ~cool~. The crowd looked to be a lot of NYU students/20somethjngs in tech or whatever living their best city life. Not the vibe for all, but definitely the vibe for some.

The whole concept is…read morebuilt around keeping your hands busy: pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, chess, checkers, even some old-school arcade cabinets scattered through a sprawling underground space. It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

Another reason this spot is not great for groups is because not all of their food is "shareable". The photos I have added to my review are the ones that ARE shareable. However, a lot of the other items we got such as the bikini or the shrimp toast were extremely difficult to share because it was a small bite clearly meant for one. It was misleading because our server told us that they only have shareables on the menu instead of actual entrees. I will say the food and drinks were very good, though! I would come back if I was with only one other person, but it really is not a group spot.
