    RAVIOLI TARTUFO & BURRATA
    Gabby T.

    If I could give a place 6 stars this place would be it. Inside this cozy little restaurant is fresh Italian food that truly surprised me with how good it was. Since I hadn't heard much about it i was a little nervous but a friend and I walked in on a week night and I'm glad we did. We sat at the bar & had a great dirty martini to start (also their happy hour is great). We got two pasta dishes and two desserts, we truly did not leave any crumbs, that's how good it was. Will definitely be back (more than once).

    Great place for a date night or a small dinner with friends! It's really small so definitely not recommended for a bigger group but i would still make a reservation. We came on a Friday evening and it was packed! The food was fantastic! I got the truffle pasta and it was so good! My only gripe was that the portion size was a little small given the price. This place is characterized as a hole in the wall but it's definitely on the pricier side. Nonetheless, this place is great for some quality Italian food if you're looking to splurge a little!

    Everything was perfect here. Cute spot, great service and yummy food and drinks! I am almost scared to give a review .. if they get too popular it's going to be hard to get a reservation lol. We got Negronis, the gnudi and the mushroom risotto. They started us off with a yummy bread basket with olive oil and balsamic. Then the gnudi which is this deconstructed ravioli filling with a flavorful tomato sauce - a must try. And mushroom risotto is probably the best I have had until date. I can't wait to come back to try the other items. Amazing spot!

    My buddy wanted to take me out for my birthday and we were in West Village. He read about this place as being new with rave reviews for their food and their inventive cocktails. They had a few two seaters outside in the front. The inside was kind of dark but with a larger bar in the front giving way to a cozy seating in the back. There was access to an outdoor space through the back but we were told that they were still getting permits to build that out. You can tell it will be beautiful at night when they build it. We were taken to our seat right away (no reservations) by the hostess/manager, Mary. She spoke with a warm Italian accent that made to think that you actually might get a real Italian meal. First our drinks - their cocktail menu had all sorts of interesting sounding concoctions. My scotch drinking friend ordered the Boccaccio and I got the Nina. The Boccaccio shows up in a nice rocks glass with a chocolate peel on top. Despite initially turning his nose up at makers mark, my friend really enjoyed his drink. The "Nina" was definitely sweeter and fruity but like the other one left you thinking that it was a quality drink. For food we split the pappardelle as an appetizer. Branzino and skirt steak for mains. The pappardelle had the perfect al dente but slightly chewy texture in a rich sauce. I heard the branzino was good - it looked terrific with crispy skin side up. The skirt steak was served with a chimichurri like sauce - no potatoes but roasted peppers instead. In retrospect, while delicious, I kinda regret not sticking to more traditional Italian fare which I'm sure would have been even more awesome. Service was terrific and Mary was terrific in helping celebrate my birthday. As you'd might expect, slightly pricy and slightly smallish portions but everything was so well worth it.

    Ragu

    Went to Mi Garba with a group of 5. Restaurant was very nice and clean inside. We went at 6:30 on a Saturday night and were the only ones inside so I believe it gets busier as the night goes on. Lobster raviolis was $32 and tasted very good. Spicy breadcrumbs were not spicy but a nice touch with a lemon sauce. The ragu was house made, not sure if it was supposed to come out a little cold but nonetheless still tasted good but no real flavors stood out. Portions were on the smaller side so I'd suggest this place for lunch instead of dinner.

    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!

    Quite impressive. A small, charming restaurant that seats maybe 28. I arrived when they opened at 5…read morePM on a Thursday, I was the first one there; by the time I left 45 min later it was full. I started with the chilled celtuce with kombu jelly (the celtuce stem was sliced into bamboo shoot-sized strips, as was the kombu jelly) with toasted shallots in a red vinegar sauce. It stole the show. I've never had celtuce, loved it paired with the jelly, the texture and flavor were both amazing. It was the most interesting and prettiest dish I've had in a long time. For my entree, I had the bobo chicken, which is a poached chicken with a hint of spice and a nice broth. I ordered a side of rice to soak up the broth; the rice had something starchy tucked in it (maybe taro)? I liked it. There were slices of raw celtuce stems (I think, similar to celery) on top that offered some nice texture to the dish. Wine: I tried a merlot by the glass from Xiaopu winery in China. I thought it had nice body and flavor. I'm no expert but for the first western style wine I've tried from China, it was very good. The service was excellent. They are great with wine advice, which I noticed as my server helped an adjacent table select a bottle. I am excited to come back to try more dishes. Great date place. Bad group place. Four or less.

    TLDR: I recommend coming here with your bestie/boo not too hungry, get a bottle of wine, the cat…read moreear hand pulled noodles & the sticky rice toffee pudding dessert. Walked in at 8pm on a Wednesday and was able to sit right away for a limited time (1.5hrs), which was plenty for us. It's small, as most places in NYC are, and dark & intimate. They also have shared tables, so we sat with another couple. Huge wine selection. Everything we ate was delicious. To me, the Celtuce is more of a novelty - cool, yummy, fresh but small. The crudo was the same thing. So in my opinion, I don't think it's worth the money. The noodles were so good we got 2 orders of it - you cannot skip!! The dessert was also unlike anything I've had before. If you love sticky rice and caramel/toffee, you have to try it. Overall, I do think it was very expensive but the ambiance + some of the dishes were well worth it. I'd definitely come back.

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.
