We had a great dinning experience with amazing food and cosey ambiance. I really enjoyed the starters. They have several vegetarian and pescetarian options, and a great wine menu.
5 star stand out!!! The calamari dish was SO special. I’ve never had anything like it. I loved the inventiveness here and the ambiance is so wonderfully romantic. Every dish was a stand out. The steak florentine beats some I’ve had in Florence. Will be back!!
I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! From the warm welcome at the door to the impeccable service, everything was perfect. Our server Anna was the highlight of the diner ! She was so kind, and her recommendations were spot-on. The entire team, from the runners to the bussers, was always smiling and attentive. We had a Caesar salad and a ribeye, both absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was so cozy, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend it!
The atmosphere here is stunning - real lit candles and romantic yet lively vibes on a Saturday night. We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and service was so welcoming and warm. They made sure that everything went smoothly, despite a delay in the table before us. Food was also delicious and reasonably priced for the portions. Would definitely come back for a cozy meal with friends or family!
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Peasant, and it couldn’t have been more special. From the moment we arrived, there was a thoughtful card waiting on our table congratulating us. Such a lovely personal touch. We started with Di Palo’s burrata and prosciutto - creamy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. For the main course, we ordered the branzino and the bone-in strip, both cooked to perfection and full of rich, deep flavor. Every dish felt authentic and beautifully prepared. The cozy atmosphere, warm service, and exceptional food made the evening unforgettable. Peasant is truly a gem for anyone who appreciates genuine Italian cuisine with heart. Special thanks to Irakli for the warm welcome and hospitality, he made us feel truly celebrated.
