    Got roped in based on the dinner special. Definitely a lot of food so you can get your money's worth there. The food itself isn't extraordinary though, and I feel like there are a lot of other great options, especially being in New York City. The interior is really pretty. But the workers inside felt really disengaged, so a bit of a disconnect there.

    We wanted some authentic Italian food so we went to little Italy in New York. When you walked down the strip, there's going to be a lot of people that are going to try to reel you into the restaurants and try their food, but please do not fall for it and please do your research on every single restaurant on the strip. The food here was (in my opinion) not authentic and tasted like any other regular Italian food. Service was fine, but the food was so disappointing. Please don't fall for these traps! I think the worst feeling is to pay a lot of money for food that you don't like.

    We stopped here for drinks while waiting for a friend. Very clean restaurant and restrooms. The drinks were fantastic - works of art! One of the best espresso martinis that I've ever had. The only reason for 3 stars (not 5) is because we had no idea a change of shift happened. The first bartender was awesome! Very friendly, outgoing, gracious - 5 stars! Eventually, we were left waiting for our bill. We gave the new bartender the credit card to pay for our tab - he left to go somewhere else - came back without our credit card, no words at all and started making drinks. Weird. A couple minutes later someone totally dressed down came to us at the bar with our credit card and a credit card slip to (seemingly sign) but no pen. We told the new inattentive bartender that we needed a pen to sign the bill to which he replied, "yes sign." (With what?!) Makes me glad we went across the street to eat. I can't imagine what the service would e turned into. Go for drinks, then maybe assess the service to determine if you stay for a meal.

    This restaurant is on the corner of Mulberry and Hester in little Italy. The servers were polite and gladly gave suggestions. The outdoor seating during the Feast of San Genaro is great if you like to people watch. The Maitre d said that the chef is from Italy and he did not disappoint. The food came out hot which is a plus. It was tasty and not overly seasoned or cooked. Guests around me ordered lasagna, pizza and penne a la vodka. It all looked delicious. So I'll need to back again.

    I shouldve known that if someone had to lure people in, that it would not be good. We wanted to get up before we ordered but we gave it a chance. Everything had no flavor that I had one bite and just threw out the whole plate. We asked for the check, but he put dessert menus on our tables instead. We got our check but gratuity was already included which I dont remember seeing. After we left, we had no greetings as well compared to other tables. 75$ for 2 plates and still had to go find dinner elsewhere. We didnt even get linen napkins like other tables, just one napkin. Horrible service and food imo.

    This meal was SO amazing! The food, service, and atmosphere were absolutely unmatched. The little Italy experience is something you just have to experience!! 10/10!

    We thought the festival was happening. The festival is in September, so we walked around and went into some of the stores in the area. We then decided we wanted to have something to eat. As we walked were approached by a middle age gentleman staff outside the restaurant to eat at this restaurant, we were convinced lol The man was really charismatic and funny. We were seated outside. Complentary bread and water for the table. Adults had the red sangria and white sangria, these were good but had too much ice. They offered dinner special plus their regular menu. The service was good. Our waiter who I didn't catch his name was patient and informative. We ordered from the dinner special and the regular menu. Caprese salad, zucchine alla puttanesca, Chicken Parm, Steak with two sides of veggies, broccoli rabe, Chicken rigattoni alla vodka, pollo alla vodka, lasagna, fettuccine con salmone, calamari, Margherita Pizza. Everyone enjoyed their food with the exception of the fettuccine con salmon was very bland so it was not eaten completely. It looked tasty but the flavor was not there. The caprese salad surprisingly was chopped and not much mozzarella, the zucchine alla puttanesca had two slices of zucchini on top of some salad. The pizza was good! The establishment inside looks clean, and pretty. There so many restaurants on this strip to choose from but I'm not disappointed that we stopped and ate at Casa Bella.

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

Also loved the kimchi, cucumbers and potato salad from the banchan. Tteokbokki was a standout as well. It was more than enough food, and we even took home leftovers. Service was very friendly, and coat check was a nice touch!

    I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.

First off, the front door is mounted on flimsy plastic hinges, so every time someone opens it, it swings open violently and knocks the vase off the nearby table. The service was somehow even worse. When I was there on Tuesday, May 19th from 8-10 PM, there was exactly ONE bartender working the entire place -- both inside and outside -- and she was unbelievably inattentive. My date and I sat at the bar for TWENTY MINUTES before she even acknowledged us or asked if we wanted drinks. I literally had to call out "Excuse me" just to order a $25 quarter-filled glass of wine. Embarrassing all around. And when we were ready to leave and wanted the check, the female bartender working on Tuesday May 19th from 8-10 PM was busy standing in the corner chatting with someone instead of helping customers. I haven't seen someone move this slowly or care this little since the DMV. TO MANAGEMENT - this was absolutely horrible, embarrassing, and unprofessional service. Clean up your act, and hire a second or even a third bartender.
