Reviews
We stumbled upon this spot while walking by, and the ambiance immediately drew us in. Even though I was wearing a Knicks jersey the day after the championship, the staff treated us like VIPs and gave us a fantastic table by the window. The service was outstanding. We ordered a bottle of wine, and the staff made sure our glasses were never empty. My fiancée wanted a spinach salad with salmon, and our server went above and beyond to customize the dish exactly how she wanted it. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe Tartufata, and it was absolutely delicious—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. This place has officially become a must-visit on our New York trips. Worth the short walk away from the crowds. Great food, great service, and an unforgettable experience. Oh, and Knicks in 5! I would challenge any tik tokers or food critic to come here and taste it for themselves. Sorry for the poor picture of the food we were not planning to leave a review I took a picture for us and had to crop my fiancée out.
Lovely spot in Greenwich Village serving excellent Italian fare. Our waiter Ariel and bartender Marco were exceptionally kind and accommodating, and the food was stellar. I particularly enjoyed the tuna tartare and the Tubetto alla Nerano. I’ve actually very had pasta like that, it was almost like a squash puree - truly fantastic. And the Mediterranean Mule cocktail was also lovely. That said, we were a group of 5 and everyone had something different but we all left full and satisfied. Will definitely visit again!
The food was delicious. My Linguine with truffle was perfect. Delicious. My drink The Green Village was sooooo delicious and refreshing. Service was perfect. Marco and Luca were the best. Ambiance was so beautiful and calm. We celebrated a gfs bday and everything was perfect. Thank you
A really cute and cozy Italian spot in the heart of Soho. The atmosphere is lovely, but the space is quite small, so I’d definitely recommend making a reservation. The food was solid across the board. We tried the Cacio e Pepe (a must-order!), the branzino, and the eggplant parmigiana—everything was well-executed and the ingredients felt high-quality. We finished with the chocolate lava cake for dessert, which was great. Just a heads-up: the portions aren't huge, so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, good flavors and a great vibe.
Nerea is absolutely my favorite place to visit whenever I'm in West Village - especially in the summer, when I always come back for their amazing cocktails and spritzers. Tonight I had the Caesar salad and the Lobster pasta special, and both were fantastic. The wine selection is always great (if you don't know which one to pick, make sure to ask for recommendation!!), the food is consistently top-notch (so I forgot to take pics), and the service is truly what keeps me coming back. It's one those rare places that feels welcoming no matter the time or occasion. A big thank you to Lukas, Julia, and the entire team for your warm hospitality as always. I can't wait to return!! At least I took a picture of the limoncello I had to have to get the food digested!
