    San Sabino was one of my fav restaurants of 2025 so I had to come back to see if it stand the test of time. Once again, vibes were 10/10 and service was great. - Octopus carpaccio: 10/10 (light and fresh, perf to start off the meal) - Shrimp parm: 8/10 (I'm usually not a big parm girl, but my friend recommended me the shrimp parm at San Sabino so I had to try it. Loved the slightly spicy sauce and I'd say it def was one of the best parms I've ever had, but again I don't think I like parm) - Lobster triangoli: 10/10 (still a very solid pasta dish. Pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was creamy but not tooooo creamy )

    Right next to Don Angie, and the space is even smaller, but brighter. Reservation is easier to snag. Food is really good, especially the Stuffed Farfelle. Bf and I shared two apps and two pasta and were very satisfied!

    Spicy tuna
    Bassey A.

    The cutest place with friendly staff. This is a place you can take a date, dinner with friends or solo. We went for dinner and ordered: spicy tuna, cheesy fritelle, stuffed mussels, lobster triangoli, pepperoni carbonara and the Don Angie meatball spiedini. Hands down my favorite dish was the lobster triangoli! Every dish was delicious, but definitely the lobster triangoli needs to be part of your order. I want to try their sister restaurant, Don Angie next.

    Lobster Triangoli, Meatballs
    Christine L.

    This seafood-focused sister restaurant to Don Angie has been on the top of my want-to-try list for a while, and food-wise it did not disappoint! Started with the Scotties Martini (garlic bread martini) which was maybe my favorite thing of the night. It was a savory girl's dream drink! For food, we tried the: -Spicy Tuna arancini (nice play on the classic spicy tuna and delish) -Tricolore Sabino (classic salad, kinda like a Caesar) -Stuffed Farfalle (my favorite dish of the night, love the tobiko on top) -Lobster Triangoli (also delish, don't skip their pastas!) -Don Angie Meatball Spiedini (this was just okay to me, but I'm also not a meatball fiend) -Pineapple Sorbetto (Best dessert! Literal perfection with the almond granita) -Caramelized Crespelle (a little too sweet for me, but very limey) Overall all the food was fantastic! Service was just okay though, had to flag someone down to order. A bit surprising, but maybe it was an off night. Definitely make reservations in advance. This cozy spot doesn't have too many tables, so you could be waiting for a while. All the bar seats were packed when I came on a weeknight.

    Stuffed Mussels
    Lorian T.

    If you snag a reservation here, DOOOOO it! It was a perfect meal. The one thing I will say is that once you get to the pastas, you need to be selective because the acidity mix from the dishes may make you feel a bit uneasy. You WILL have a a lovely flavor trip though. The mussels and pasta vongole? 10/10. Had all the pastas and tbh they taste better than the shrimp parm if you have to choose. It's all still really good individually. The staff is incredible. They add so much to the experience and there's such a beautiful ambiance. A little pricey but it is what you expect.

    Espresso martini and the Benny

    Delicious meal and drinks, loved the ambiance! Small restaurant, but the food was so worth the tough reservation.

    Lobster ravioli and shrimp parm
    Rose B.

    Walked in at 4:55pm and barely snagged a bar seat (had to be done by 6pm). The spot filled up quickly! The crispy tuna rice is a fun spin on a classic dish. As was the shrimp parm, it was delicious. They give you 3 pieces of each dish. The lobster ravioli is a common dish but it was only okay -- came out a little cold and was nothing special. My friend and I left hungry but glad we got to try this popular spot.

    Gelato Viennese and caramelized crespelle
    Surika A.

    Sister restaurant to Don Angie, I was excited to try San Sabino. It is much easier to get into this restaurant if you, like me and most of nyc, find it impossible to get into Don Angie. Best way to get in is through Open Access Dining on Open Table. The ambience inside is very sexy and great for a girls night or date. Me and my friend ordered the: - cheesy frittelle (3/5) - spicy tuna (4/5) - stuffed farfalle (4/5) - lobster triangoli (4/5) - steak magazzino (5/5) - don Angie meatball (5/5!!!!!!) - caramelized crespelle (2/5) - gelato Viennese (5/5) The pastas were more seafood forward and delicious, but the meat is what really stood out to me here. The steak was fried with a crispy exterior and the most tender interior. Also THE star of the show to me was the meatballs. I found this particularly exciting because it was the only time I've seen a non-pork meatball option on the menu of an Italian place. As someone who doesn't eat pork I was excited to have my first restaurant meatballs! And it was delicious!!! The crespelle was not my vibe at all because the burnt rum was a little too strong but the gelato was thick and divine.

    Menu as of 11/22/25
    Dalena D.

    This restaurant is definitely more seafood focused! Everything we tried was delicious Favorite item on the menu: Lobster Trangoli*! They're know for this and it was actually so delicious! The lobster was cooked in this very delicious sauce that was inside the Trangoli. Both the Stuffed Farfelle and the lobster Trangoli was bursting with so much flavor and depth. Stuffed Farfelle was savory and citrusy! Other items I tried that were still delicious: - Stuffed farfelle* - Octopus Capraccio* - Cheesy Frittele Make a resy at least a week in advance! Walk-ins are difficult Highly recommend! I would def come back and bring friends to try this place!

    Lobster Pasta
    Juliana G.

    I love the vibes inside of San Sabino - it's a shame it's so hard to grab a reservation. I went with a friend and we LOVED the deconstructed spicy tuna. The lobster pasta was good, but a little overrated. It is definitely on the pricier side - but is nice for a special occasion. The staff is also very friendly!!

    Cheesy frittelle
    Caitlin B.

    Space is quite tight but the food and drinks were great. Our waiter was quite enthusiastic too :) As a party of 2, we shared: - Cheesy frittelle - 3 pieces, highly recommend. - Tricolore sabino - this was really good, had a nice something crunchy in it. - Manicottini: really good, but I preferred the pasta vs the meatballs - steak magazzino: this is a unique fried steak. Recommend trying this! - pineapple sorbetto: also unique and tasty! ...and then we were stuffed Oh the Benny cocktail was really good. I liked it more than the sanzese spritz (that one tasted more like fruit punch).

    Shrimp Spicy Arrabbiata
    Nat T.

    Delicious meal! All the seafood dish we got were amazing from the Busiate & Clams to Spicy Tuna. The cocktail was great as well, with the Capitano being one of the best I've had in while. Our server, Ruben, was so friendly and made great recommendation. A great spot that is not just around for social!

    The Benny
    Liz B.

    Came here on a Saturday night (30 mins before our reservation) and got seated at the bar. A really cute interior and friendly bartender My friend and I shared: Mussels (10/10) these were actually so good and beautifully plated Spicy tuna (7/10) not our favorite, we didn't finish this dish it was a little too spicy and was just a lot of one texture Octopus carpaccio (9/10) I really enjoyed the octopus the crackers underneath were a little thick Pasta alle vognole (10/10) so delicious! Lobster triangoli (9/10) really good and the sauce inside the ravioli mixed really well with the cream sauce on the outside! I got the Benny cocktail which was delicious and came in a really cute cactus glass and my friend ordered Scottie's martini which she really didn't enjoy but she did say it was very garlic bread-y

    Thyme used to be a fun, charming spot that I genuinely enjoyed visiting and bringing out-of-town…read morefriends to. I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

Easy to find if you know what you're looking for, if you arrive right at 5pm on a cold weeknight in the winter, you'll easily find a table or seat at the bar. Very cute space, cozy like everyone says, but nothing mind blowing. Music is moderately loud. The menu in early February still included their winter holiday cocktails. I was more interested in the apple sage house-made fermented soda, and it was pretty good-large glass, flavorful and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed her pomegranate version. The space started to fill up at around 5:30. Service was polite when you could get it, but generally very inattentive, even before it got busy. It honestly didn't feel too different from anu other very nice NYC bar, in terms of menu selection, prices, ambiance and service. Maybe that's standard for NYC speakeasies, but the places I frequented in other cities were more fun and felt more worth the price. I'll still give another NYC spot a try, but not coming back to Thyme.

They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.
