“ Searched RESY for a tapas restaurant and was plenary surprised when an Italian restaurant showed up. We did not have reservations and went at 5 on a Friday. We were seated with no issue, at this point it was basically empty. Within half an hour there wasn’t a seat in the place. We had the grilled octopus salad as well as the goat cheese and mango salad to start. Both were outstanding. For main courses we had the lobster risotto and the lamb shank. The lobster was cut into pieces like little prizes throughout the risotto. The bone on lamb shank over risotto was so tender it fell off the bone. We will absolutely be back, we loved this meal! ”
“ This place is amazing, it's a cozy area and has a wonderful staff. They treated us so well and made our day more special. The food was delicious, and also the drinks! My favorite food was the warm chocolate cake. Definitely a nice place to hang out with friends or have a first date. ”
“ This place was fantastic! The service was exceptional and they walked us through the menu, the specials in detail, didn’t rush us to order and let us take our time. The burrata, Caesar salad, pesto pasta, mushroom truffle pasta were heavenly . Also wnjoyed the Chianti they had to offer, prices were also amazing, about &60 a person for a table of 4 - including tax tip 3 drinks a person , an appetizer per couple and 4 entrees...HUGE! Thank you! ”
“ Love this place. Our favourite find in NYC. Great food and host. Coolest surroundings and vibe. ”
“ Absolutely love this place. If you can’t find a table, try their sister restaurant around the corner. Such a cozy vibe instead with great specials. We started off with the goat cheese and tomato sauce and the meatballs. Both were killer and I’d order them again. For starters, we had the risotto of the day which was mushroom and Parmesan risotto, and the penne pasta. Overall fantastic meal with quick service. ”
“ A really good - very reasonably priced - Italian restaurant in West Village - all the food was super tasty and service sizes were generous - including the steaks. Very nice atmosphere - but it is very loud. The service was very good as well. If you need an Italian restaurant in the Village - Aria is a great choice. (We went again recently - and again everything was great. It was much less busy and super pleasant.) ”
“ I've always said that Colombians are the best at customer service and our server Daniel from Bogota was no exception. We look forward to going back!! ”
“ The atmosphere was relaxed, and the bartender she was super friendly. I tried the octopus salad based on her recommendation, and it was absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back! ”
