    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.

    Are you going to the Joyce for a wonderful evening of dance ?…read more Do you prefer a location close by ? Is inexpensive Italian food a preferred choice ? If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. There you go ! Fumo is for you, (at least the Chelsea location) is for you. Any drawbacks ? youi ask.....well, yes, there is one, and it should be cosnidered. The restaurant is so so so popular that the noise level can be a bit ..... shall we say "daunting." Fumo is a great place but if you want a soft, quiet place to have a serious conversation, maybe save it for another time....

    The experience was very disappointing. The menu labels many items as gluten free, but I was told…read morethere's cross contamination. This means those dishes aren't truly gluten free for people with celiac disease or anyone who has to avoid gluten. When I pointed that out to my server, he just gave me a blank stare. I tried to explain why labeling those items as gluten free is misleading, but he seemed completely disinterested, even annoyed, dismissed what I was saying, and simply responded that the pasta is gluten free. I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.
