    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!

    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

    Went here for dinner last night with a friend. The ambiance was very intimate, dimly lit, and definitely a perfect date spot. They also have a space in the back to accommodate larger groups. The food was absolutely delicious; I got the cacio e pepe ravioli and my friend got the lobster and truffle pappardelle. I got the Tokyo Drive cocktail which was sweet, but wish it was a tiny bit stronger. Got tiramisu for dessert which was divine. Service was great, our server Fahim was very friendly and helpful. I would visit again.

The waiter did say to just check mark the paper instead of quantities, but they end up bringing you 2 of everything you order. The sweet & spicy fish is also very solid, garlic noodles were buttery, and even their iced tea was super refreshing. Could not recommend this place more!! Bonus: they play a great 2000s throwback playlist that got us singing along and dancing while we were peeling all our seafood to pass the time. Shoutout to whichever employee put that playlist together!

This is exactly the kind of place that works well when you need something fast but still high quality. Service stood out. Jeanine was excellent; she quickly understood our time constraint, guided us to the right dishes, and kept everything moving without making it feel rushed. At one point we accidentally put a plastic menu over a lit candle, and she handled it immediately and made the moment feel light rather than awkward. The atmosphere was lively and full; the place was packed, but it still felt organized rather than chaotic. The bar looked well stocked, and the overall ambience worked well for a pre-train, Times Square-adjacent stop. Food was solid, with a few standouts. The salmon tartare with sesame crackers was excellent; clean, fresh, and well balanced. Jeanine recommended the shrimp avocado sliders, and that was the right call; they were outstanding. Happy hour oysters were fresh and well balanced. Littleneck clams were good, though slightly less compelling than the oysters. The fish tacos were good but not particularly memorable. Fried calamari was well executed, though the accompanying sauce could have used a little more flavor. The hot sauce, assuming it is made in house, was excellent and added a much better punch to the seafood. Drinks from the happy hour menu, including the Pink Flamingo and margarita, were good and consistent. I would come back to try more from the main menu. If you like seafood, this is a strong option for the price point and location, especially during happy hour.

From beginning to end everything was excellent. The pork belly was the perfect temperature of warm, tender, a bit acidic/sour (YUM), and so delightful. I can see why many reviews recommend it. The crab curry was so nice and clean and fresh. The crab was so tender, and the curry strong, and went beautifully with the rice. It's actually such a sleeper hit, and we added it onto our order last minute. The steamed branzino was delicious, too - tender, limey, sour, sweet, a little heat - it's got everything!!

The front door was open and it was cold. We asked a waiter to close the door and he said they had to leave it open. We saw the manager constantly closing it when customers would swing it open so we ended up asking him and he said no problem and closed it right away. There were so many waiters and waitresses crowded behind us just standing around, it was a bit awkward because they were right there 2 inches away. We also saw people get shrimp chips? We never got ours. Ambiance: 5/5 The ambiance is lively, trendy, and full of energy without feeling overly chaotic. The space has a modern downtown NYC vibe with colorful touches and a buzzing atmosphere that makes it great for group dinners or date nights. It's definitely a place that feels fun and memorable from the moment you walk in.

From the moment I entered the restaurant, I knew the experience was going to be next level. Thank you Jay for seating me and my friend at the best table in the house. Thank you to our phenomenal server Shamim. Your service was really over the top stellar. Soon as you sit at the table, menus are placed.
