Bar Sprezzatura

An amazing new rooftop bar in the heart of Midtown! So many things to highlight about this place: 1. The outdoor rooftop has spectacular views of the city and the ambiance is very inviting. 2. The food and drinks. A lot of thought has gone into developing a well-rounded and diverse selection of various dishes ans specialty cocktails. 3. Service is top notch. Whether you’re sitting at the bar, at one of the lounge tables, or on the outdoor patio, the staff is extremely attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Definitely a must-visit!!

I highly recommend this hidden gem. Try the espresso martini. If you want a bite, I recommend the crushed avocado crostini with Maine uni. I also recommend the Forest Floor of porcini sformato, glazed Hen of the Woods and the Beech Mushroom Saor. Lastly, I recommend the Spicy Big Eye Tuna Cannoli with Kaviari Caviar. This was all delicious. I can’t forget to mention that if you’re here during the spring and summer, this place has a terrace for you to enjoy the weather.

What an incredible experience. From the high-end and quality delectables to the impeccable attentive server Tanim, we were blown away. This hidden gem is tucked away... we were escorted through the corridor and brought to the most charming spsce full of great energy. Such an incredible way to end the evening. Highly recommend without hesitation.

My new favorite place in NYC. Great food, friendly service and amazing vibe. Clean bathrooms. Tiramisu is delicious, truly one of the best I’ve ever been served in a restaurant. Christian is a fabulous server. The wine guy - Phil — has an excellent palate. In the Kimpton diagonally across from Worldwide Plaza. Don’t give up. It’s on the 16th floor. One thing. They don’t accept cash. NYC law says they must accept it but they don’t.

Food was excellent, wow! Creative and well made Italian dishes great to share. Such good cocktails and wine list too. Loved the loungey OG Mediterranean decor, v comfy, and good music. The only thing is the sole, odd entrance on 48tb and unfriendly door guy. But up on floor 16, Bar Sprezzatura is lovely! A nice secret off Times Square.

This is a great new spot, in a neighborhood with very few truly upscale and trendy options. Beautiful rooftop with great views of the city and good ambiance, and a good crowd. Food and cocktails are also great - loved the mushroom forester dip, caprese crostinis and the pastas, and lots of good cheese/charcuterie options too. This will be my new midtown go to!

Overall the atmosphere and service is very good. The view is not great contrary to other reviews, as all you see are buildings, but that is not a big deal. Recommended for a nice place to gather with friends for reasonably priced drinks in NYC where the focus is more on people vs food. I am scoring the food as average as we tried the seafood tower and the flavors did not necessarily have a consistent theme, even if they were interesting and nice to try on their own taste-wise (I recognize this comes off as quite picky, which it is, although I spent $85 on it). Some of the single items were very good though. I did not try the regular dishes, which may have been better for my tastes. The drinks were also average for the price. Overall, this is likely a great place for tourists and New Yorkers seeking to decompress with friends (the atmosphere is great inside). Perhaps not ideal for foodies.

Came here for my wife’s birthday. Niki made us feel incredibly special and her recommendations were on point. Food is insanely delicious and the atmosphere on the roof is incredible. Highly recommended.

Went for the NYE party! The staff was extremely kind. We got VIP tickets which came with some cozy seats and a couple bottles of Champagne. The food was little snackies. Overall, 10/10 would go again.

Bar Sprezzatura is a new hidden gem, literally you have to go a back door and knock to get in, and walk through winding path, with hilarious Italian music guiding you towards an elevator that brings you up to wait feels like a cafe or wine bar straight off the Amalfi coast. The drinks were very good, I had a rose Prosecco shrub spritzer, that made me wish I was on a warm coast. The views were spectacular, and the staff on a Wednesday night were very accommodating. I highly recommend a reservation, that being said you would probably have been sat as a walk in. The crostini was incredible and the meat and cheese board was lovely, very good quality olive oil. It was fun for casual business drinks, but would also make a great stop in an epic girls night or a romantic date. Even when our counterparts were running a tad late they were more than happy to seat us and get us started with apps, and we did not feel rushed at all. Only good things to say about this bar, definitely worth adding to the list as a visitor or a NYC native. Many thanks to our waiter and host for such a lovely experience.

I was staying at the Kimpton hotel and wanted some coffee. I was told that they served it at the bar so went up to it. It was confusing as when you got off the elevator, you had to find the steps to get up to the restaurant. I didnʻt see any accessible way to get there without having to go up steps. Itʻs a pleasant environment with some outdoor seating and a nice view of the city. I was told they only had specialty coffee drinks so I ordered a mocha and decided to have the pistachio cake (normally a dessert). The "mocha" didnʻt taste anything like a mocha and the waitress brought me another cup as she said she mistakenly made hot chocolate and I could have it. It didnʻt taste like hot chocolate either.. I took a few sips but left it. I found it hard to find my way to the elevator but someone helped me find the stairs down to the elevator Based on the lack of accessibility for someone physically challenged and the coffee drinks, Iʻd give it a much lower score but feel that would not be totally fair. If you canʻt do stairs, avoid it. I wouldnʻt go back for coffee of any kind.

Chill, relaxing vibes with a welcoming staff and delicious food. We got to soak up one of the last warm evenings of the season, and even though it's nestled in the middle of busy NYC buildings, the terrace felt like a peaceful escape--giving off vibrant coastal Italy vibes. The lively atmosphere, with hotel guests enjoying social hour, made it feel like a hidden gem. We mostly came for drinks but couldn't resist trying the avocado crostini with uni on top. Though the portion was small, it made for a light and tasty bar bite. I do wish there were more non-raw options on the menu so I could enjoy it more. Definitely tempted to try the pasta next time. We arrived around 5:30pm, just in time to catch the breathtaking sunset. The open flow between the bar and terrace was inviting and gorgeously designed, giving off lounge vibes rather than a formal dinner setting. After sunset, they dimmed the lights, but my friends and I thought it might've been even prettier if they'd kept the space a bit brighter. The entrance is on 48th Street, and you'll need an ID to get in. Once inside, you take the elevator to the top floor.

The food is delicious. However, the portions are appetizers and you're paying for a full plate. The food is really good. I will not lie however if I'm spending $77 for dinner, I want to either know ahead of time that these are all appetizers or tapa size. I never mind paying for dinner, I do mind feeling ripped off. And that's how I felt. Delicious, service was great, ambience lovely. Portion size was ridiculous. If I feel like I have to eat after I pay $77 for one at dinner something's wrong and I'm on Ozempic. I don't eat much.

I went for a quick dinner tonight, as I'm staying in the building, and it was major amateur hour! With maybe 10 guests in the restaurant, there were at least 10 workers standing around and somehow my espresso martini took 20 minutes (I ended up telling them I didn't need the foam since apparently that was what was taking so long). They comp'd it, but only after I asked three times for it. I also had to ask for water because no one gave me any. Took the food to go back to my room and it was cold and I wasn't given cutlery. I had to laugh because it was just the perfect end to a disastrous experience. Gorgeous space but the staff needs a few months of training.

As you walk through the corridor to the elevator, take the elevator up to the penthouse. With food and drink offerings, the spot makes unique and artisanal cocktails. From their own unique concoctions to their revamp-ed martinis, there is something for anyone.

Really nice place. Rooftop. Great food and drinks. Service was good. Our brunch server (Ivana I think) was great

When you're looking for the absolute New York experience with amazing view, look no further! This restaurant has everything that you're looking for, amazing food, and drinks! If you can hit the happy hour, it's definitely worth your visit and stay a while because you'll really appreciate the views on the patio. The entrance has a red carpet vibe, and as you walk down the hall to get to the elevator, the walls have street art. You'll get to the elevator entry you walk into a restaurant that has the Casablanca feel. this is a new and up-and-coming restaurant so experience it while you can. Definitely will be back because I want to explore the menu and also the drinks. Will not disappoint. Alysia is one of the manager's and she'll take care of you.

A low key entrance leads you to a warm, welcoming restaurant with a hip, feel good vibe. All of the appetizers were delicious and complemented each other well. Don't miss the Fluke, in fact, double your order! The service was excellent from start to finish. Ask for Tyler if you want a top notch server who took care of everything we needed!

Amazing place with a beautiful atmosphere and really good drinks. Our server, Maurice, went above and beyond and we will definitely be returning. He also gave really good recommendations for the food.

Amazing vibe !!! Impeccable service and the yummiest food I have had at a rooftop bar
