    GARLIC BREAD roasted garlic, chili, parsley, parmigiano (the size of their pizzas)
    Summer O.

    There's room for couples and rooms for parties, in fact there was a birthday in the back by the kitchen. We enjoyed a meal for 3 and the service was prompt in this fast paced Italian restaurant. Vic's has a great family-like style. I don't know if it's the lighting, the seating, the meal. It just felt homie in my opinion (which is a compliment, a place you could just sit and feel comfortable). This is also a place where you can eat family style or just order for yourself.

    Made a same day resy here on a Sunday, was looking for good comfort food to end the weekend right. And boy did this place deliver! Nomz: The menu changes with the seasons. We started off with the pork meatballs - they were fantastic - I'm not exaggerating when I say some of the best meatballs I've ever had - perfectly cooked, falling apart deliciousness, sauce had amazing flavor with a touch of spice, currently salivating. We also had the tomato and corn panzanella salad (came with arugula too) it was sooo good and light - we inhaled it - I have now looked up recipes to make this at home. For my main I had the spaghettini with clams and it was exactly what I was craving. Flavor was on point, had lots of sauce to work with and a good portion of pasta - I would have liked another clam or too but all good. Drinks: Had some wine - but didn't write the name down- sorry y'all. Service: Ugh, my only complaint - not knocking off a star for this - our waitress was MIA most of the night - we had empty drink glasses for a while before we could flag her down. Same when we got our dessert menu or needed our check. She was a bit standoffish and stared our monitor down when we were giving her the tip (we still tipped 20% but in a different world that would have been 0%). Ambiance: Modern cute, wooden intimate vibes. They have big round tables too if you want to come with your fam or friends. Nope or Dope: Dope! Look there are very few times where I walk away from a meal having enjoyed every course, but it happened here and I can't wait to go back!

    Prosecco we got on the house for waiting over 30 min past our reservation time

    My friends and I had a reservation at 8:45pm on a Friday night. We were told by the hosts that another party paid, but they weren't leaving - they weren't the friendliest hosts. 20 minutes go by and we were told again that the party wasn't leaving, but a manager or the owner gave us complimentary Prosecco to thank us for waiting. I don't drink so this didn't help me as much, but it was a nice gesture. Another 10 minutes go by and we were contemplating leaving as it was already 30 minutes past our reservation time and all of us were hangry at this point. We finally got seated at 9:23pm and were ready to order. It's pretty dark in the restaurant and gave date night vibes - playlist was great too! For starters, we got the crispy broccoli, brussels sprouts salad, and crispy potatoes and they were all really good! For the mains we got the cacio e pepe spaghetti, lumache, and sausage pizza. I love thin crust so the pizza was good for me with a thin crispy crust, which I enjoyed. The pastas were just okay to me, I did prefer the lumache over the cacio since it had more flavor. The highlights were definitely the starters! Would come back for those. I do hope that in the future they kindly ask guests to leave the table if another party with a reservation is waiting, especially if it's over 30 minutes as we did get really annoyed before even ordering.

    We enjoyed an early dinner out. The waiter was very attentive. The atmosphere was cozy. We sat around a booth with a table of 8. Enjoyed nice wine and cocktails. The hanger steaks were a table favorite. The cod was very good. The chick peas were a little too hard. The coffees and dessert were all very good. A nice spot on the east side.

    Came here on a work dinner and the places is nice. I had the Calabria cocktail and it have a small nice spicy kick. We had the food family style. My favorites were the fried calamari, crispy potatoes and hanger steak. The cacio de pepe wasn't bad. Just a tad too al dente but that's my opinion of course. Foe dessert, I didn't get to try the tiramisu (probably should have) and instead tried the rainbow cookies. It is one of the most dense rainbow cookies I had. I would skip that. Overall, really nice place for dinner.

    Food is always amazing here. Vibes are great and easy to get a reservation. Servers are also so sweet

    My friend heard of this spot, so we decided to stop by for a light dinner when we were in the area. We got the garlic bread, the broccoli rabe, and the cresta de gallo to share. The garlic bread did not turn out as expected - it basically was this kind of pizza crust with roasted garlic spread on top. It was still pretty good, but most definitely not what we were hoping for. The other two dishes were solid. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was light but delicious. And the broccoli rabe was tender, and there were bits of black olive spread around the dish, which added a nice salty kick. The vibes were also really nice with a good amount of seating, making it a good spot to catch up with friends.

    Came here around 8:15 PM with a reso and was seated almost immediately! The cocktails are mostly premixed so you can't change out liquor types but they tasted good enough. My friends and I split the arancini (10/10) it was really tasty with a nice crisp. Then my friend and I split the orecchiette pasta (8/10 could've used a little more flavor and the pasta was cooked a little less than al dente) and the roasted chicken (9/10 the potatoes were heavenly and the chicken skin was crispy but I got one really spicy piece of broccoli which definitely hurt). Overall great service and this would definitely be a really cute date spot!

    My friend and I snagged a last minute reservation here last Friday. I'm so glad that we did! We had to wait a bit to be seated, but they were great about transferring our bar tab to our table once we were seated. I loved the Milano cocktail! Not too sweet and full of flavor To start, we shared the crudo, per our server's recommendation. It was delicious! So tender, light, and flavorful. I went with the cacio e pepe for my entree and it was classic and delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce had that intense peppery flavor you need in a good cacio e pepe. For the area and quality of the food, I found it to be very well priced. I would definitely come back here! I want to try the pizzas next time!

    We came to brunch over the weekend. Service: service was great. Fast and friendly. The rest of the party was about 30 minutes late but they were very understanding and didn't mind that I sat at the table and waited. Ambiance: the restaurant is so pretty. Natural boho chic. They also had a lot of natural light which made brunch feel like an outdoor event but we could still be warm. Food: we got the arancini and focaccia bread as starters. The bread was delicious and perfectly soft. I also loved that there were 2 halves that had different flavors. The arancini didn't really stand out but it was fine. I got the vodka pizza as my main course. It was very saucy but delicious. The vodka sauce was flavorful and well seasoned.

    Food, service, and ambience were on point at this affordable Italian restaurant. My party started with the arancini and meatballs, which were both incredibly flavorful. The arancini were oblong instead of globes, and there were only two, so keep that in mind if you're a party of three or more. They're completely worth ordering though--incredibly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The meatballs melted in the mouth, and the tomato sauce was bright with perfect acidity. For my entree, I ordered the campanelle with pork bolognese. It was a great portion, but the sauce was a little lacking for me, considering bolognese should be heartier than your average spaghetti sauce. My dining companions had the mushroom pizza and ravioli, and both said they were really good. I definitely wanted to steal one of my boyfriend's ravioli. They looked so plump and delicious! For dessert, the tiramisu was some of the best I've ever had, while the brioche with cream was underwhelming. Cocktails were solid. I had a Prosecco spritz, which I'd definitely order again.

    Cacio E Pepe

    I loved this restaurant. The setting is perfect for a nice dinner with friends/family, the food and drinks were delicious, and the staff was so friendly. We were seated in the back of the restaurant where we could see them making pizzas and cooking them in a brick oven which was cool to see. I got the cacio e pepe which was one of the best cacio e pepe's I've had. The cheese was so creamy and had the perfect sauce to pasta ratio. There was a bit too much oil at the bottom of the dish, but overall, everything else about this dish was perfect and delicious. We also got a side of Brussels sprouts which were decent, but nothing special. I probably would choose to try a different appetizer next time I come here.

    Nice place in NYC. Went for a workout at Rumble around the corner. Seated promptly. Place was buzzing for a Wednesday night. We were three people and ordered apps and a pizza. Pork meatballs very good crispy calamari and shrimp. I liked the way they were prepared. Sauce was ok. Zucchini blossoms. Ok. Roasted squash. Needed more cooking. Arrabbiata pizza. Was ok. Service was a little too aggressive. Felt like things fell a bit short. Not bad. Felt like it could have been better

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.
