Unreal experience. San Sabino is one of my favorite restaurants in the city; these folks have the total package. Top notch service and staff attention to detail. We ordered plenty of food and cannot wait to return. Highly recommend that you try to snag a confirmed table on Resy. A+
My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar tonight. Amazing drinks! We really thought that my Benny and his Mambo Italiano were probably the best in the west village. And trust me when I say, we know drinks in the west village. I ordered a side of meatballs (my favorite dish in the world) and he ordered pasta. We sat at the bar tonight, and I know that the bar can be a pretty hectic place but my boyfriend received the wrong pasta. Which he didn’t even care about and loved the carbonara because he isn’t a picky eater. The issue tonight was that his Mambo Italiano was TAKEN and DUMPED when it was only halfway done. THIS WAS A $18 drink. We love splurging on great food and drinks so we did not mind the price but we LEGIT just dumped $9 down the sink drain. For such a high end restaurant I am sad to say that this occurrence really made us feel like when we walked out the door we would be hesitant to return or recommend. Which is so sad to say given the amazing food and drinks that are available at San Sabino.

we had high expectations and they surpassed them! each dish was creative and perfectly executed shrimp parm with a sweet n sour tomato sauce was a stand out as was the spicy tuna appy we lived the chessy fritelle it’s a must! the lobster pasta was so rich and creamy we cant wait to go back! The staff are incredibly friendly and accomplished and the host and manager present and welcoming!

The food was decent … the tuna stick rice was actually not very good in my opinion but the crab dip and cheese stuffed cracker were great. The drinks were good as was the hazelenjt cake for dessert but we could tell the restaurant wanted us to leave the entire time because our meal was incredibly rushed (I’m talking ordered and within …8 minutes all of the food we ordered was out with no pacing whatsoever). I understand it’s a popular place but I was having lunch with my mom on a Thursday and tables were there WAY longer than us, some with laptops out working so I didn’t understand this attitude.
I don’t think I’d recommend or go out of my way to return.

Incredibly beautiful, intimate and cozy spot in the West Village; ambience matches its sister restaurant Don Angie. Service was top notch with excellent recommendations. Food was delicious and innovative - my favorites were the lobster triangoli, steak maggazino and gelato viennese.
The most overpriced mediocre food i’ve had in a long time. food is alright but really really not worth the price tag

Such a disappointment! It’s a beautiful place, for beautiful people but the food was sad! The crab/mortadella dip served with Ritz crackers was a joke! And the manicotti with baby meatballs had SOOOO much cheese on it, it was almost impossible to eat. The triangular lobster pasta was smothered with way too much sauce, again practically inedible and you could not detect any lobster. The highlight were the drinks - that’s it. Please bring simple, flavorful Italian dishes to us and leave these saucy laden dishes to Olive Garden.

Excellent modern American Italian food, executed with finesse and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend a visit.
Friend and I were able to snag a reservation @ 5PM on a Tuesday and we were seated promptly upon arrival. It’s a smaller sized restaurant but you still feel like you get the privacy you want.
We ordered the spicy tuna, pasta alle vongole, stuffed farfalle, and don Angie meatball spiedini. With two drinks, it was enough for the 2 of us. My favorites of the night were the pasta alla vongole and the meatballs, I recommend grabbing those two if possible!
A little pricey but everything was delicious and the service was spectacular. Would come again ☺️

My husband and I came here on a Sunday night in mid September and sat at the bar. We saw a reservation available for 830pm the morning before on Resy and grabbed it. We are huge fans of Don Angie and were so excited to try it.
We were definitely underwhelmed by our experience. The restaurant is gorgeous and so well decorated. It is small and very dark (which I understand some people would not be into). The bartenders were truly lovely; they were not rushed, carried on conversations with us, and seemed invested in us having a great time. The food was a total MEH. Yes, the hype was against them but there are LOT of flavors in some dishes that i don't think come together correctly, like the Salad Louie.. there are also some dishes that had almost no flavor like the crab dip. The shrimp parm was good but not great.
Especially given all of the hype, I wouldn't bother to come back. If someone had a reservation and wanted me to join, I wouldn't resist but I wouldn't seek it out.
Vegetarian options: most things on the menu did not seem vegetarian and there was no advertised vegetarian menu.
Parking: it's the west village so parking will vary. Parking generally depends on how long you want to spend to find a place to park and how much money you want to pay. Make sure to check the street signs wherever you park.

Tiny restaurant but tries to pack in 100 people (fire hazard?), ok service, and just trying too hard for the food to be like its older sister restaurant Don Angie.
