So worth the hype! I was so lucky to be able to snag a reservation, as they book up so quickly! We had a reservation for a late lunch scheduled at 2:00 PM, however, upon our arrival at 1:30 PM, we were seated right away. Our server was so kind and friendly. We ordered the "Chrysanthemum Salad" as a starter which was very good (especially the dressing). Obviously, we had to order the signature dish, "Our Lasagne For Two" which was plentiful for us three ladies. The lasagne was so decadent! Along with the lasagne, we also ordered the "Japanese Sweet Potatoes" which was also delicious as well. Overall, this place was worth the hype. I will definitely be back when I'm in town. read more

I lined up around 3:45 on a Monday (Labor Day), when they normally open at 4:30, and was seated right away in the first wave. I tried the gnocchi and tiramisu. The gnocchi was nice - just the right amount of chew with a cheesy interior, and a nice sauce that was creamy, crunchy from bread crumbs and little bits of toasted garlic, and a nice herb oil over top. The tiramisu was next level - definitely more chocolate forward than coffee, but still did a nice job of bringing those two flavors together with the salted mascarpone. There's a layer of crunchy wafer bits halfway down that made the experience particularly unique. Total worked out to just under $57 after tax and tip. It's expensive, and getting in is such a hassle. I'd still come back at least for the dessert (and the pasta is decent too). read more

I can't believe I've never ranked Don Angie, I guess I've just been so excited every time I've gone that I can't imagine logging on and writing about it, but we went again this weekend and I again am just so happy. Every dish is great, not a single thing is bad. If you want a must have, well the Chrysanthemum salad is a requisite starter, i think the veal tartare is out of this world, and the lasagna should be a required dish. Now again nothing is bad, and if you can try the caramelles you should, and if you aren't getting the amberjack crudo because you're going to be too full then i don't know what you're doing. Whatever you do don't forget the stuffed cheesy bread, it's such a winner. Every cocktail is great, every morsel of food is fantastic, and the tiramisu isn't like any tiramisu you've ever had before. We will as always continue to come! read more

This Italian restaurant was in my bucket list. I know it's really hard to score seats for dinner. I was in the village and was looking for somewhere to stop into and Don Angie was right before my eyes!! Sat outside since it was a beautiful day. I was by myself so couldn't really experience more than just my entree. The lasagna is their popular dish but unfortunately they only do lasagna for 2. I wound up ordering sourdough pasta cacciatore which was very tasty. Pasta had a perfect chew. The crouton pieces added to the texture and the cut up olives were amazing. It was just a tad too salty. I will return and hopefully try the lasagna. 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

This classic Italian establishment in the West Village is a difficult to get reservation but is well worth a bucket list visit due to its varied signature dishes. The small cramped space reminds you of an Italian grandma's home. The service is efficient enough. The cocktails are underrated. The espresso martini with Biscotti infused vodka adds a nice touch. The massive chrysanthemum salad covered in grated cheese is a refreshing palate cleanser. The buffalo milk caramelle shaped like tootsie rolls is as light and sweet of an appetizer that you can get here. The famous pinwheel lasagna was heavenly with crispy caramelized edges filled with soft melty mozzarella and sausage bolognese flavored with star anise. It was so filling that we could not spare any room for dessert. The fragrant lemony steak al limon was prepared nice and light to accompany the carb heavy meal. 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

Don Angie gets a lot of love and I wanted to love it too. The West Village room is lovely, the service is warm, and the concept is genuinely fun: nostalgic Italian-American with a creative twist. 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

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

Absolutely gorgeous establishment! 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. I had no idea this restaurant was such a hot spot. 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

Don Angie arrived in the West Village with enormous hype, and from my experience, it earned it. I went a few times before and during COVID, and what impressed me most was how consistently the place delivered despite all the attention. The dining room always felt buzzy and fashionable, but the food, service, and overall execution kept the place grounded in something more durable than hype. Its pinwheel lasagna is outrageously good and easily one of the signature dishes I associate with modern New York dining. I also distinctly remember the Chrysanthemum Salad, buried under what feels like an unreasonable and therefore perfect amount of shaved Parmesan. Both dishes capture what Don Angie does so well: familiar Italian American food made inventive without losing the basic pleasure that made people love it in the first place. Combined with excellent service and a prime West Village location, Don Angie has always struck me as a restaurant that became a phenomenon without letting the quality benchmark slip. 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. This restaurant is tiny and it was packed, but service was excellent. 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 is similar to my experience at San Sabino. I appreciate the service, ambiance, creativity, and good quality ingredients. 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

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!

Way too overhyped. I'd only recommend this place if you're a die hard Taylor Swift fan. Otherwise don't hold your breath. The "Calamari" dish was a majority clumped awful rice that was poorly flavored. The cheese stuffed flat bread was perhaps their most redeeming dish. The "famous" lasagne was bland and you could have convinced me I was at Olive Garden if you blind folded me and let me taste it. Overall, I was very disappointed as I had much higher expectations. 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

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. Beyond the food, the ambience is classy without feeling overbearing, and our waiter was incredibly nice, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, one of those meals where every dish hits. So fun to share with a group and try a bit of everything. 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.

This was a highlight dinner on my New York trip. read more

A perfect family dinner. Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive. Multiple people insured that our group was well taken care of. Drinks came out fast, food was perfectly spaced between courses, and everything was delicious. The restaurant itself was cozy, perfectly lighted, and had a good array of seating. *We were recommended this establishment by a customer of mine from STL. 100% worth the visit. read more

Don Angie...wow I get the hype now and why getting a reservation is so difficult. From the service to the ambience to the food it is top notch. A must have for any foodie. 1) The rolled lasagna similar to the one in Culinary Class Wars. Or did the chef steal it from them? Anyhow it was crispy and delicious. Definitely something you won't found at most places. 2) Chrysanthemum salad - Even a table full of men grabbed it. If you have someone who doesn't like salad, order this and it'll change their mind. 3) the buffalo milk caramelle - I would argue is their best pasta here. I've not been to any places that serves something remotely close to this dish. 4) Sourdough pasta - I wanted to order something else inventive. Also cooked really well with a different flavor. 5) tiramisu - while raved about it wasn't my favorite tiramisu I still will give five stars because frankly I would go back again! read more

Don Angie is worth every effort it takes to get a reservation. The lasagna is an absolute must -- one of the best things I've eaten in the city.

Yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype. My goodness was the food fantastic here.

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

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

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 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

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!

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

As an Italian I rarely go to Italian places but tried this place because I was invited for a business event. The hype for this place makes no sense. The food is not Italian (definitely Italian-american) and their famous lasagna is an insult to real lasagna. Ambience is okay but won't suffice for the lack of good food and pricing. 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! I got lucky with setting an alert on Open Table, so I would definitely do that if you are trying to get a table.

It 1000% lived up to the hype! I will think about it for the rest of time! The lasagna also comes with amazing garlic focaccia bread. Hopefully I will get the chance to dine at Don Angie again. read more

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

Don Angie - lasagna, pasta - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

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. The restaurant space is warmly lit by candlelight at dinner, creating an intimate, cozy ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a special occasion. 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

Only losing a star because even for dishes that appear vegetarian - chrysanthemum salad, gnocchi, cauliflower, broccolini - all have either anchovy or fish sauce and cannot be modified so while they do have vegetarian options, they're far less than what you think they are based on the menu alone. Even though the menu was more limited than we thought we still had a great meal. The Japanese sweet potatoes, caramelle, and tiramisu were all excellent and would go back for each of these! Service was friendly but on the slow side and the place is lively but loud, even for lunch. read more

Would give this place six stars if I could Was so excited to finally snag a reservation Was initially worried that this place would be overhyped from all of the Instagram videos but this place exceeded expectations The interior was also super cute and gave an elevated dining experience Along with the famous lasagna I wish we could've ordered way more. However it was so filling and had to take leftovers home Tiramisu was also some of the best I've ever had read more
