Burgers, steaks, seafood, and classic cocktails in a lively bistro
"Owned and helmed by legendary maitre'd Michael Cecchi-Azzolina, this low-lit, clubhouse-style spot on West 13th Street projects an intimate, old-Village ambiance where classic service and a sense of local hospitality are prioritized." - David Farley
"Craft cocktails in a moody, romantic space make this a go-to for the same buzzy vibes as the neighborhood’s date-night haunts." - Sophie Mendel
"Cecchi’s is named after owner and longtime maître d’, Michael Cecchi-Azzolina — who has noted the front-of-the-house gig is a “lost art form.” In the position at various restaurants for over 35 years, he worked at River Cafe, Raoul’s, Minetta Tavern, and Le Coucou. He also wrote the restaurant-service chronicle, Your Table Is Ready. As such, the restaurant is extremely accommodating for families, sporting high chairs, offering crayons and paper, and generally catering to kids. Yes, there are burgers, mac and cheese with bacon, and other items kids might like. Good for older kids." - Melissa McCart
"Cecchi’s isn’t just serving a $250 five-course prix fixe menu—they’re doing live jazz, too. Snag a late-night table at the West Village American restaurant—which concocts a truly fantastic martini—and choose between things like crab cocktail, turtle soup, and surf and turf. The white tablecloths and Art Deco murals are the perfect backdrop for your last meal of 2024. Make a reservation here." - willa moore
"With reservations available from 5 to 10 p.m. on Christmas Eve, Checchi’s has its full menu available as well as specials, including: cod cakes, roasted lobster, stuffed pork belly, and toffee cake." - Eater Staff
