I've been to Don Angie a few times and it never disappoints! The food here is solid and the staff are all super nice. It can be hard to get a reservation here, but it opens 7 days ahead of time on OpenTable at 9am so definitely plan ahead if you want a reservation. For apps, we tried the Amberjack Crudo, the stuffed garlic flatbread, and the chrysanthemum salad. All three were delicious and I'd highly recommend trying them all. The flatbread had a cheesy texture while being super crispy similar to a Chinese scallion pancake. The chrysanthemum salad had a nice texture and was super refreshing. For entrees, we had the buffalo milk caramelle, gnocchi, sourdough pasta, steak Al Limone, and the lasagna. The caramelle portion was small but it had a nice sweet taste to it. The lasagna is the star as it comes with 6 large pinwheels and is served with garlic bread on the side! The sourdough pasta was also tasty along with the lemon sauce steak. For sides, I recommend getting the Japanese sweet potato's. They are super sweet and crunchy and was definitely the unexpected star of the food we tried! For dessert, the tiramisu is delicious but our group really loved the mochi! read more

This one hurts. Being from Texas, Don Angie has been on my list for some time but by the time I know I'm in town, reservations are fully booked. So imagine my excitement to be in town one night and I scored a 7pm 4-top on a Sunday. My wife and couple friends didn't know what to expect but "it's a 1-star". We arrived 5(?) minutes early. Waited 15 minutes. Toni, the Manager, was friendly and accommodating. Apparently our table was paid out but lingering. All understandable. We were sat in a nook in the back and it was warm/hot. I guess not the restaurant's fault but fixable. Still all good. Drinks: We ordered a Barolo and a NA beer. I really appreciate restaurants that have a few NA options for the DD or non-drinkers. In our case, a friend who is six years sober. After 30 minutes the wine still wasn't at the table. Our server said Nate the wine director was working on it. 30 is too long with no communication and I don't think Nate exists. Never saw them. The wine, clearly forgotten, just showed up finally. The Food: Stuffed garlic flatbread was excellent. Lasagna for two was great. Lobster for two was out (disappointing but understandable). Subbed the chicken and gnocchi instead. Chicken was good, gnocchi was a miss. The broccolini was a no show. Ordered, asked about it and it finally arrived. Like the wine, no apology just an excuse. Someone else's fault. Overall, high expectations left with disappointment. I'm trying to be fair here as many misses were no one's fault but the controllable ones shouldn't have happened. Especially with Michelin recognition. I'm sorry Don Angie. read more

Came in thinking it was overrated but can pleasantly say it was really good! Got the chrysanthemum salad, sourdough pasta and of course the lasagna Salad was really solid tho 26$ and no meat in it is crazy. Overpriced for sure but delicious nonetheless Sourdough pasta was my favorite of the night and only 3$ more than the salad lol. Pasta was aldente and sauce was nice and flavorful Sweet potato side was not bad but didn't stand out either Now the lasagna, tbh still a solid dish. Definitely suggest taking it home and then reheating it for the next day. It is a lot of food and the tomato sauce was nice and tangy. Only Wish there was more tomato sauce and for the lasagna to be served hotter. It came out warm but i wanted it like lava Bread was good just needed to be seasoned read more

This is similar to my experience at San Sabino. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate the service, ambiance, creativity, and good quality ingredients.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, most dishes have confusing flavors that I would not try again: (1) the chrysanthemum salad was way too acidic and salty, multiple tables near us couldn't finish it either. (2) veal was not outstanding, just no fault. (3) the candy shaped pasta is the best tasting thing 10 out of 10, it's $4 a piece though. (4) the tiramisu had too much crumbly stuff and too little moist, Torrisi's affogato is a superior dessert. I didn't try the lasagna but saw 2-person tables struggle with finishing. read more

Don Angie - Buffalo Milk Caramelle - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Their lasagna was pretty flavorful. It was pretty similar to the lasagna at Ciccio Mio in Chicago, and very solid overall. Their chrysanthemum salad was one of the best salads I've had! Very fresh tasting with a mountain of cheese. The reservations are not as difficult on OpenTable as when they were on Resy, but still have to make it right when they release. read more

Don Angie - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Don Angie gets a lot of love and I wanted to love it too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The West Village room is lovely, the service is warm, and the concept is genuinely fun: nostalgic Italian-American with a creative twist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But after all the hype, the Michelin buzz, and the impossible reservation, I left feeling like something was missing. The chrysanthemum salad is the real deal. Buried under a mountain of parmesan with a punchy dressing, it is bright and textural and honestly the best thing we ordered. Get it without question. The crudo was also a highlight: fresh, delicate, well-balanced. My only complaint is that it was gone in about four bites. The garlic flatbread, which is supposed to be a crowd-pleaser, came out genuinely soggy in the middle. Not in a good way. The edges delivered but the center just didn't hold up. And then there's the lasagna, the dish everyone tells you to order. The pinwheel presentation is adorable and I get why it photographs so well. But ours was sausage-forward to a fault, light on cheese, and swimming in a sauce that just didn't have much to say. For the restaurant's signature dish, it felt like a letdown. Don Angie is perfectly good. It is not a bad meal. But for the effort it takes to get a table, I expected more than a few memorable moments scattered across an otherwise forgettable spread.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely gorgeous establishment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upon entry, we were seated fairly quickly. We arrived toward the end of their lunch hours, and there was already a line forming outside the building. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had no idea this restaurant was such a hot spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend secured the Resy and told us where we were going, so I showed up feeling very lucky to snag a table! I ordered a cocktail that was cute and enjoyable, nothing too over the top, and we shared a few starters. But the real star of the show was the LASAGNA. Wow, wow, wow. It wasn't prepared like a traditional lasagna, so I had no idea what I was in for, and it ended up being the best surprise ever. It was incredibly delicious and gloriously cheesy. We only ordered one for the table, but if I hadn't had plans after lunch, I honestly would have ordered another to go. It was that good!! read more

There are few things that are sacrilegious in Italian households like eating lasagna that didn't come from your own or a family member's kitchen and eating meatballs that you or a family member didn't hand roll themselves. This is the first time in my 36 years of life that I had meatballs and lasagna at a restaurant. Both were excellent. For appetizers we ordered: - Pinwheel lasagna - we felt that we had to try this and we are so glad that we did. It was gooey and delicious. The Robiolina cheese was a wonderful in this dish. The super thin pasta was tender. - Chrysanthemum salad - How have I never known that chrysanthemum salad could be so delicious? Someone else described the dressed as "bright" and I cannot think of a better way to describe the fresh taste. - Stuffed garlic flatbread - Reminiscent of artichoke dip baked in bread; good, but our least favorite item. - BBQ calamari - tender and flavorful For our main courses: - Sorpresine & Smoked Mussels - So much flavor on this "surprise" pasta. The combination of flavors was slightly unexpected, but everything worked beautifully together. The mussels were tender and added the perfect amount of smokiness to this dish. - Garganelli Giganti - The sauce and meatballs were perfection. I am very picky with sauce and this was really tasty. - Chicken Scarpariello - Veal "da Pepi" - This was the star (for me at least). I didn't know what to expect with speck, horseraddish, and banana peppers, but WOW. The veal cutlet was thin and tender. The breading was extremely crisp. Veal is very easy to dry out especially when this thin. - side of Charred Broccolini We all were able to share all of our items amongst the four of us which made it a great way to try so many different items on the menu. I also had a "Two Yoots" to drink. I was initially tickled by the My Cousin Vinny reference, but then felt I needed to try prosciutto washed rum. The rum mixed with min and cantaloupe very just as refreshing as I had hoped it to be. I wanted to try Nonna's nip, but I wanted to make sure I had enough room for all the food. My husband, parents, and I came in for lunch on a Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is tiny and it was packed, but service was excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't love the Open Table reservation situation, but that is about the only negative thing I have to say about our experience with Don Angie. San Sabino (their sister restaurant) is up next on our list! read more

This meal was kind of unreal. We ended up paying about $63 per person, which felt more than fair for the quality of the food we tasted and the variety of dishes we were able to try. Their site says to set an alarm at 9am 7 days before you want to go, but luckily a snowstorm took care of any reservation concerns for us. First of all, one of the most hyped up items on the menu: the chrysanthemum salad. I really did not know what to expect and what chrysanthemum tastes like, but WOW did it live up to the high praise. The boatload of parmesan nearly covered the green entirely, but the garlic added some intrigue and crunch which really made it unique. It was probably the best salad I've ever had in my life. The stuffed garlic flatbread was also phenomenal - sooo cheesy but had just a bit of crisp. Warm, gooey, and savory. For mains, we split the garganelli giganti and the lasagna, and both were amazing - rich, saucy, and intensely flavorful. Definitely the move to share. They also bring bread, which we dipped into all the sauces left over from the mains - the texture and flavor combination was absolutely delectable. Finally, the star of the show (in my eyes - my friend had a different star, the lasagna) was the Japanese sweet potatoes. I've never tasted sweet potatoes like that before, but the combination of the sweet and the crunch of the skin was actually life changing, I had 3 potatoes and each one was memorable, I wanted to chew slower so that it could last longer... The broccolini was flavorful, but felt dim compared to the light of the other dishes. And the tiramisu was super unique - rich and creamy with a crispy feuilletine texture that made it stand out. Also slightly chaotic because it fully stained our napkins black, but worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beyond the food, the ambience is classy without feeling overbearing, and our waiter was incredibly nice, which made the whole experience even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, one of those meals where every dish hits. So fun to share with a group and try a bit of everything. read more

Making reservations at Don Angie is challenging in that you have to be hovering over your keyboard when reservations open up. Once the nail biting reservation process is complete, it's deciding what you want and enjoying the wonderful food. Here's what we had: Scallop Crudo Chrysanthemum Salad Buffalo Milk Caramelle Garganelli Giganti - Broken Meatball Ragu, Guanciale, Pecorino Our Lasagne Whole Roasted Lobster (includes extra dishes) Japanese Sweet Potatoes Caramelized Pear Sorbetto and Black Cocoa Tiramisu Capuccino Very Dirty Martini While our party of 4 enjoyed all the dishes, we would be hesitant to order the whole roasted lobster again as it was just a whole roasted lobster with not much meat. With that said, the lobster did come with extra dishes that were special so I guess that is something to consider. All in all, a very special meal with the Black Cocoa Tiramisu for the Birthday Boy! read more

I would fly to New York just to eat here. I am Italian and this was the best lasagna I've ever tasted. The noodles were so soft and the pasta tasted so light. The ambiance is so enchanting with a small lovely space feeling so intimate. The food also came out so fast and was so hot and every single dish was so flavorful. This was a highlight dinner on my New York trip. read more

I was blown away by the food. Each bite was better than the next. I left feeling stuffed. I recommend going with a group and sharing like we did. That way you can get variety. My only parameter was to order the pinwheel lasagna since they're known for that and it was my first time. It lived up to the hype. They were so good that I definitely ate one too many... The salad had my ideal cheese to green ratio. The crudo was light with the perfect bite. The bread was almost like a pizza but lighter. Major yum! Would love to return! Would definitely eat here again. read more

This was one of my favorite meals during our visit to New York. Every dish was a hit. You absolutely have to order their famous pinwheel lasagna and the chrysanthemum salad. The pinwheel shape of the lasagna gives each bite that satisfying crispy edge. The fresh chrysanthemum leaves are topped with a mountain of parm, and the bright dressing just ties the whole dish together. The buffalo milk caramelle is a playful and memorable dish. Each candy-shaped pasta is coated with a sweet brown butter sauce and candied kumquats. I watched several videos on YouTube of their kitchen operations, and it is so impressive how they create each unique pattern on the pasta by hand. They were unfortunately sold out of the lobster by 7 pm, so we didn't get to try it. I would recommend booking an earlier dinner time to ensure that you get to order it if the lobster is a must. Other dishes were still phenomenal, including the Japanese sweet potatoes and the steak al limone, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their take on a tiramisu was a delightful end to our meal. It had just the right amount of sweetness, and the crunchy wafer layers added a nice crispy texture. Reservations definitely require some planning since they open up seven days in advance. My husband and I set an alarm to log onto OpenTable. As soon as the clock struck 9 am EST, we clicked the slot we wanted. If you're quick, your slot will be held for about 10 minutes on OpenTable while you complete booking. When we refreshed the page, the reservations were gone within a matter of seconds/minutes. I think they do accept walk-ins, but expect to line up early or wait quite a while. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant space is warmly lit by candlelight at dinner, creating an intimate, cozy ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a special occasion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was stellar. As an avid cookbook collector, I was excited that I could purchase their cookbook, signed by chef Angie and chef Scott, at the restaurant. Best souvenir on this trip! I am excited to try recreating their recipes at home. I will definitely make it a priority to return to Don Angie and to check out their sister restaurant, San Sabino, the next time we are in Manhattan. read more

A true NYC icon. My friend scored a reservation and I was excited to see if it was worth the hype. It 10000% was worth it. What we tried- Stuffed Garlic Flatbread: What's not to love? Cheese, garlic, carb. Yummy and easy to share House Salami & Cheese: A nice appetizer to start. Loved the sweet honey with the savory pizzelles/salami Chrysanthemum Salad: Caesar-reminiscent. Pile o' parm on top. Good and I liked how dressed it was BBQ Calamari: This one surprised me. My table really wanted this even tho I wanted to skip it. Great smoky flavor, delicious! Our Lasagna For Two: The star herself. Wanted to write this off as overhype but it is truly delicious! Balanced, delicious sauce, not too heavy. Charred Broccolini: Okay but a bit too bitter for me Peach Sorbetto: Just okay Black Cocoa Tiramisu: Love their take on this! I wish I could've tasted more of the Marsala caramel but the crispy feuilletine was such a nice crunchy aspect! The mascarpone cream was incredible Restaurant is cozy, great for a date night or a group dinner. Good vibes. Service was good, we had a vegan in our party and they were accommodating. Can't wait to go back and also want to try their sister restaurant San Sabino as well! read more

What an amazing culinary experience!!! Everything our table had was delicious. Highlights: the chrysanthemum salad is amazing. Hands down the best caesar interrpretation I've ever had. Veal Da Pepi shined with the horseradish and speck. Unexpected delight- Buffalo Milk Caramelle. Sweet and savory all at once. Our table of course ordered their signature, Lasagna for two which was very good. And yes, we tried all three desserts on the menu. Table favorite= Fior Di Latte Mochi. I can see why it's so hard to secure a reservation here. I hope I get to come again!!! PS- we are still talking about that salad BTW. Perfection. read more

I wish I can give it a 4.5 stars! Don Angie is such a classic New York Italian spot, and even though I heard it lost its Michelin star, the food quality is still incredibly high. Everything my friend and I ordered tasted thoughtful, well-seasoned, and beautifully executed. We shared the Little Gem Salad, the garlic bread, the famous lasagna, and tiramisu -- and the total came out to around $80-90 for two people. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the flavors and portion sizes make it feel worth it for a special meal. We ended up sitting outside in December (only in New York!), and honestly it worked out perfectly because there was no wait. The heaters kept it comfortable, and it felt like a fun winter dining experience without the usual indoor crowd. The lasagna, of course, is a classic for a reason -- rich, layered, and beautifully presented. But surprisingly, my favorite dish of the night was the Little Gem Salad. I don't usually rave about salad, but this one is exceptional: crisp, refreshing, and seasoned so perfectly that I genuinely couldn't stop eating it. I'm already thinking about going back just for that. Overall, Don Angie remains a solid, reliable, and delicious Italian restaurant that still feels special. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a memorable dinner in the city. read more

I had high expectations for the restaurant, and most were met! The only downside was that it took almost an hour for us to get our mains and they did give us sweet potatoes on the house to make up for it. However, we had already ordered the sweet potatoes earlier for apps. The lasagna was overshadowed by everything else we got in my opinion. It was good and not as heavy as other lasagna, but I wasn't blown away by it. It tastes exactly how it looks. The salad was a saltier Caesar like type of salad. I enjoyed it! I do think it lives up to the hype it got. I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes, but enjoyed these ones! They were crispy and coated in a salty, cheesy sauce that was great. The sourdough pasta was my favorite dish of the night, probably because I went in with no expectations. It comes with a lot of olives, but the flavors were not olives forward at all. The pasta shape complemented the sauce really well. It's a savory, salty sauce, not much cheese flavor, most similar to a chicken Marsala, but not quite. The tiramisu is different than other tiramisus I've had. It's got more of a crispy texture and less of a moist cake. It wasn't too sweet. read more

Totally understand why this spot is so popular! Managed to grab an early dinner reservation on a weekend. We walked in and were brought to our table. Service was friendly and always present. Separately, I don't think my cup of water ever got even close to half empty (which I appreciated since ai like to stay hydrated). Food was definitely the star of the show. The famous garlic bread, lasagna, and chrysanthemum salad were all as delicious as we've heard. Though everything else we had all were so good. The restaurant itself is a bit on the smaller side but well designed with intimate lighting (at least in the evening). In summary, a great spot for delicious Italian food - recommended! read more

Took me 6 years of living in NYC to finally visit the GREAT DON ANGIE! (And it was worth it) Their ambiance feels like typical Italian restaurant near west village/ Greenwich but my god, the food was really amazing. Everything we ordered from salad, their famous lasagna, gnocchi, STUFFED GARLIC BREAD, and sorbet/ tiramisu etc was all extremely satisfactory. This place wont disappoint but the challenge would be whether or not one can secure a reservation other than 9pm or 4pm (lol) read more

Friend From LA: I'm in town next week! Let's get dinner on Wednesday. Me: Amazing. Where? Friend From LA: My secretary got me a reservation at Don Angie. Me: Nice, those are hard to come by. Friend From LA: It's at 10:15 pm. Me: .... Questions That Any Sane Person Would Ask: 1. Your secretary? 2. What sort of psychopath plans to start eating dinner at 10:15 (if they aren't in Europe)? Look, I have two young children. I don't eat dinner at 10:15. In an ideal world, I am going to sleep at 10:15. But I wanted to check Don Angie out, and I don't often get to see my friend from LA, so I went for it. And it was worth it. Please understand that we had to go out for a pre-dinner dinner beforehand, so when we arrived we weren't exactly starving. However, even if you hadn't eaten a pre-dinner dinner, note that this is a VERY heavy meal to be eating at 10:45 or whenever we actually started getting our food. Heavy, and DELICIOUS. We got the the chrysanthemum salad (just the platonic ideal of a Caesar, really), the lasagna (famous for a very good reason - gorgeous, and very very tasty), and some sort of cacciatore pasta (actually my favorite dish of the evening, but just as heavy as the lasagna). We washed it all down with some excellent wine (a nice cab franc), and the incredible bread that was undoubtedly soaked in olive oil. This meal sat in my stomach for two days, and I'm not even mad about it. Anyhoo, these reservations are hard to come by for a reason. Our server was shockingly personable and sweet in the face of what we have to note were difficult customers to serve and to look at, and the small room is convivial and welcoming and one where I'd want to sit all night. In fact, at some point we looked around and realized we were those people who were keeping the staff there, so we left and tipped accordingly. Te salut, Don Angie. read more

Incredibly delicious and well done. For reference, I don't even like Italian food. The lasagna is so delicious, fluffy, light, and balanced in flavor. It's not dense or too thick at all. It is expensive though - $68. The octopus rice is really yummy in how the octopus was charred! The tiramisu was the star of the show. 10/10, not too sweet, the crumbly texture was a perfect complement to the fluffy moist interior. I wanted to order two of these. My only complaint is that this meal was rather expensive and there was not much protein in any of the dishes, but I accept that this is more of an experience than a meal, if that makes sense. read more

"Let your center hold!!!" I remind friends who may be fixated on a boy, and it's usually the idea of the boy rather than the boy himself. True for Don Angie too, it's the hype of the lasagna rather than the lasagna itself. You don't NEED to order it !! The Garganelli, however, you need to order. It's spaghetti and meatballs, meets lasagne (since we're talking Don Angie), meets the love of grandma's kitchen in Northern Italy. The perfect order: Chrysanthemum Salad Garganelli Giganti Black Cocoa Tiramisu (this is not tiramisu, it just takes the structure of it. It's a flavor you've never had before, one I wish could be named in case I ever wanted it as a milkshake) Optional: Garlic Flatbread (coming from someone who doesn't care for garlic bread). read more

Hands down one of the best meals of my life! I have been dying to eat at Don Angie and was ecstatic when I finally scored a resy!

Don Angie - Lasagna For Two - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Was able to walk in to Don Angie on the Fourth of July - knowing it was a holiday weekend when people would be gone and most folks who stayed would be on the other side of Manhattan watching the fireworks We had to wait a bit for the table, but it was worth it. We sat outside on the side under some scaffolding, the only reason the atmosphere is docked a star, but we didn't mind too much. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and recommended a bar for us to go afterward. I got the Margherita drink, quite tasty and refreshing in the heat. We shared the Chrysanthemum salad to start - it was good, but nothing special imo, so probably wouldn't order it again. Then came the lasagna which was simply spectacular! Would come back for the lasagna alone, but also looking forward to trying their other apps and desserts. read more

Trying to get a reservation here was nearly impossible but we managed to snag one magically when they released them after the second day of trying. When we arrived, the restaurant was filled to the brim and every seat was taken. The hostess was able to seat us immediately per our reservation time. We ordered the famous lasagna and the sweet potatoes. The server was a little odd and condescending towards us because we were a group of three that wanted to share the lasagna. For context, one of my friends has food allergies but wanted to partake and try a bite here and there of our food. When we ordered and the waiter realized what we ordered was too little for three, he said "we gave you a table for three but you're only ordering for two." His demeanor and tone shifted immediately to being incredibly passive towards us and he never once checked up on our table for the rest of our dining experience. After trying the food, we wanted to order more sides and the tiramisu but since the waiter never came back to us, we did not have the opportunity to do so. In fact, we had to ask one of the table bussers for our check and to refill our waters. No matter how much we tried to get his attention, he ignored us and would check on all the other tables except for ours. This soured our experience and we don't think we'll be returning because of this. The food was excellent but the service completely ruined our experience which was a shame. The restaurant only has 2 bathrooms that are single occupancy. read more

I took my recommendations straight from the waiter and nothing disappointed me at all. I had the Nonna's Little Lip and Il Colombo for drinks...both had grapefruit which I love.

Impromptu trip to city on a cold winter day. First one on line for walk-ins 7 min before opening. Warm and welcoming inside as the staff were ready to serve at the bar. Everything was tasty. Chrysanthemum salad was new for me. Very Caesar salad tasting vibe. Buffalo milk caramelle pasta was unique. Look like a wrapped candy. Delicate and sweet. Lasagna was yummy. Cheese plate was small and high quality. Pizzelle was savory. That was new for me. Overall great experience. Pricey but lots of effort into how everything is made. read more

Came back on a Friday night and we were surprisingly able to walk in right away at 5:30pm. Honestly, I still stand by my opinion that this place has the BEST lasagna I've ever had in my life + BEST salad I've ever had in NYC. - Lasagna: 1000000/10 (what more can I say? Single handedly the best lasagna I've ever tasted.) - Sourdough pasta: 10/10 (this was a pasta dish that I wasn't able to try the last time I was here. It was reallyyy good-- really tastes like sourdough! Also loved how the pasta texture is almost like chewy? I still think the buffalo candy pasta and lasagna are my top 2 pastas here though) - Chrysanthemum salad: 100/10 (still the best salad in NYC.

I don't normally like Italian food but Don Angie has me questioning what I like and don't like. I can see why how this restaurant is one of the hardest place to get a reservation for, and for good reason as our experience here was amazing. We decided to start with the stuffed garlic flatbread and the chrysanthemum solid which were both solid appetizers for the table. For our main dishes we got the buffalo milk caramelle and the lasagna. The caramelle's flavor was delicious and had a very unique taste which was insanely good. The portion size however was quite small for what it costs! The lasagna was good and it wasn't your typical lasagna as they separated it into 6 pieces and wow it was pretty good. For dessert we had the tiramisu and it was a great ender to finish our meal as it wasn't too sweet and had a tasty coffee flavor as well. The service here was great and the staff was attentive and even gave us a dessert because it was someone's birthday! 5/5 read more

Party of 4.. We had the chrysanthemum salad and the garlic bread which were very good. We had the calamari fried rice which was just okay. The sweet potato's were good. The lasagna was disappointing as it was just too salty and really just has a sausage filling. We had the lemon steak which wasn't bad but you have to really love lemon to enjoy that steak. I liked the Buffalo caramel pasta and that was a good dish to share as it is on the sweet side. We had the sourdough pasta that I didn't like at all but 1 person did. We had the other veggies that were not the best. We tried the desserts ( tiramisu and a strawberry basil concoction) and they were absolutely terrible. With drinks, the cost was 760 including drinks and tip at 20 percent. The salad was the one thing we all enjoyed. We had the experience and we all were truly underwhelmed. The service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was okay, the place is small and you could barely hear the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've eaten at all the top spots in NYC as I work in Manhattan for over 37 years and there are many other places one should go for a great meal. We all agreed we would not go back, even for that salad. read more

*Cheeseless review* Reservation: By some miracle, I was able to nab a reservation a week before since I had signed up to receive notifications when a table opened on OpenTable and happened to be on my phone already at the time to jump on it. Multiple times I had received notifications for open tables but they had been taken instantly. Would recommend seeing when reservations open up and being super on top of it. It's super packed. Service: easy, quick check-in at host stand with kiosk and we were immediately seated. They were on top of water refills, the server was kind and friendly with recommendations, service was efficient with clean plates and utensils for each course, and dishes came out timely. Ambiance: cozy yet classy interior and packed without feeling cramped or too loud Yoots drink with prosciutto rum and cantoulope flavor with a prosciutto and cantoulope skewer was unique and deliciously refreshing on a hot day with some mint as well Scallop crudo was unique, bright, and delicious with seasonal peaches, pine nuts, basil, and citrus. Sorpresine was also a unique dish with Peroni beer infused sauce and smoked paprika that made it savory but lime sauce balanced it so that it didn't feel heavy or overly rich at all; crispy cilantro breadcrumbs also added good texture and the pasta was well cooked. Japanese sweet potatoes had a great crisp on the outside and warm soft inside with light sumac seasoning; asked for no cheese and it was a perfect side to the rest of the meal. Shell steak al limone was a highlight for me, as each slice was tender, cooked to a good medium rare, and the lemon confit on top and lemon sauce underneath was not overpowering at all Charred broccolini had too much char flavor for me - thought it was actually burnt. I had been really excited about the black garlic but if I hadn't read it on the menu, I wouldn't have known it was there. The hazelnuts were a nice crunch but my preference is just for the more classic chili flakes, sea salt, and garlic. Fior di Latte mochi with olive oil and sea salt: was excited about the olive oil and sea salt combo but even though it was supposed to only look like a mozzarella ball, it tasted like it too with a slightly gritty gelato inside that we couldn't past one bite Overall, had a really enjoyable and balanced meal; we ordered the perfect amount for two where it was filling without being overly stuffed - the drink/dishes I would order again are the Yoots cocktail, scallop crudo, sorpresine, shell steak al limone, and Japanese sweet potatoes. Considering how difficult it was to obtain a reservation and that the most popular dishes were cheese-focused, it was risky going for non-cheesy dishes but I'm happy that I came away feeling that the meal was well worth it. read more
