Memorable meal! Went with a larger group so ordered almost everything on the menu. Every dish was really good, a few were truly incredible (the chicken was up there with the best I've ever had). Good vibes & service. Spacious. With drinks expect $200 person, but we were all stuffed. Highly recommend!

Everything was good and we had plenty of attention from the staff. Likely from the late reservation time and no one else being there

Principe Restaurant offers a pleasant experience, especially if you are a seafood lover which I highly recommend. However, I was disappointed by the attitude of the staff. They kindly kicked us out at 10 p.m. while we were celebrating my birthday, which ruined the evening a bit.
The service could also be improved in terms of pace. The food arrived too quickly, giving the impression that we had to hurry. We come to savor the moment, not to take a train!
Overall, a great dining experience, but the hospitality and timing of service could be improved to make the experience truly unforgettable.

Good food with a nice vibe/atmosphere.The highlights being the shrimp with jalapeño sauce and the rock shrimp pasta

This restaurant is amazing!. We ordered the burrata and the snow crab as an appetizer and the lobster & mussels as a main.. DELICIOUS, even the bread was super good. Another 10 points for the service and atmosphere. Definitely coming back!.

My husband and I went for dinner last night and were blown away by the beauty of the food as well as the service and the flavor. We are foodies and love to try new places when we come into the city. You can bet we will keep coming back whenever we get the opportunity to return to the city.

Amazing! Only complaint was that the server was not knowledgeable about the wine selection and kept trying to suggest us the cheapest options, or by the glass. Do with that information what you will. With that said, it is a well designed restaurant with a very balanced menu, and I looked AMAZING for choosing it as a first date spot.

Stunningly delicious. Snow pea Caesar was excellent, really tangy and crunchy. The duck was the best I’ve ever had and I’d come back just for that. The saffron broth from the lobster + mussels was so bright, flavorful, buttery, fresh. The tea and desserts (pecorino sundae and strawberry cheesecake millefoglie) were great as well.
I do have to say the (free) bread was too greasy, as were the fries. Those are both a skip. But the rest was truly perfect.
The service was impeccable; everybody was very friendly and knowledgeable and welcoming, even giving us extra components for our dishes because we liked them so much. The decor is adorable, too. I bet their cocktails are great (didn’t try any this time). I will absolutely be coming back on special occasions.
My wife and I went last night to for the first time to Principe.
First about the service...The manager, Michael, treated us like we were regulars. He stopped by twice during the meal and brought over a complimentary frozen Limoncello after dinner. Our servers, Paula and Fiorela could not have been more attentive of knowledgable about the food.
Now the food....The food was "to die for". We had the rock shrimp mafaldine with sugo bianco, olive crusted branzino with fennel & lemon, scallops, the tuna cruda with watercress, sumeshi & crispy rice, yuzu-marinated scallops with pistachio & sorrel with homemade pasta. The food was amazing.
Lastly, decor....the restaurant has a pretty impressive design with two main dining rooms....something for everybody and a separate bar area.
Kudos the kitchen, the service staff, the bar! We're going back.

Really enjoyed this restaurant! The front has a nice bar and the back is where the majority of tables are. We had a reservation for 7:30pm on a Friday and by 8:30pm the restaurant was at capacity, so I definitely recommend a reservation. The sea food was great and so was the atmosphere

Absolutely delicious. The oysters, the duck and the Fior Di Latte are heaven. Atmosphere and decor are lovely. Staff is competent, efficient and friendly. Everything is top notch. Run to this restaurant. This place is an undiscovered star.

A fun, lively restaurant in the heart of soho. Like everyone else mentioned, food portions are incredibly small. We spent $100 each and both left hungry. The gnocchi we ordered had a total of 10 pieces of pasta. The service was good, atmosphere was stunning. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to friends, but would recommend they eat dinner prior to coming lol.

Lobster was expensive but was a big roll.
