The Scene – Italian restaurants with rustic decor are a dime a dozen these days. However, this two-story West Village spot opts for glitzy urbanity instead, with inverted-pyramid glass chandeliers and leather everywhere--even the banisters are wrapped in it. Downstairs, women in brightly colored dresses swarm a glittery bar like hungry fish at a coral reef; while the upstairs is cozier, if not much quieter. – – The Food – Anne Burrell's supremely confident, modern Italian cooking shows a knack for highlighting fresh produce. From the tapas-like "piccolini" menu, a…

Fun dinner/apps place

by NYC girl

Fun scene, nice servers and truffled deviled eggs make this a great place. I have gone for dinner and the apps are much more intersting and memorable than the entrees.

  • Pros: scene

Very Impressed

by gmen80

Definitely found one of my new favorite spots. The food was fantastic.

We went on a tuesday night and got there around 7:30 for drinks first. It was a little quiet when we got there but by 8:30ish or so the whole place was busy and the atmosphere was great. We sat in the downstairs which seemed to have a different vibe from what I can tell of the upstairs.

I had the scallops to start which were a special and the lamb for dinner. The lamb was cooked perfectly and very juicy.

Service was great. The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. Just an overall enjoyable great dinner.

  • Pros: Great food, fun atmosphere
  • Cons: none

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service

by JDbella

There were four of us girls for dinner on my birthday March 28. We walked in and barely had to wait. At the bar, we encountered a plethora of amazing drinks. The bartenders were attentive and even made a newly invented drink. I loved the use of thyme and cucumber in their choice of cocktails.

Dinner was devine. The lamb, truffled deviled eggs & other piccolini, and dessert were perfect.

We dined upstairs and I loved that room. The atmosphere was dreamy. It was well lighted and the decor is beautiful.

Lastly, the service was extremely professional. The manager checked on the tables and our server was very good.

I rarely take the time to write reviews though, I dine out often. This restaurant has made the top of my list.

  • Pros: outstanding menu, inventive drinks, friendly service
