NYC New Restaurant Openings, August 2025 | Eater NY

"An upscale Mediterranean restaurant from the team behind Midtown East’s kosher Italian spot Abaita, set in a brightly lit 50-seat space that opens with a marbled counter outfitted with delicate pastries before veering into a polished sit-down menu of pesto pasta, egg-topped asparagus, and fluffy pancakes." - Nadia Chaudhury

Libbi - Review - Upper East Side - New York - The Infatuation

"From the Abaita team, Libbi is a Mediterranean kosher dairy restaurant on the Upper East Side. You’ll find everything from  pancakes with figs and orange marmalade to a spicy tomato pizza with shiitakes on the menu. They’re serving breakfast and lunch to start. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Molly Fitzpatrick

Libbi is honestly one of the most creative spots I’ve been to. The flavors are amazing, everything tastes super fresh, and you can tell there’s real thought behind every dish. The staff is warm and on top of everything, and Chef David and his wife deserve a shoutout - their dedication really shows in the food. You can feel how much he cares. Overall, just a great vibe and even better food.

Let me tell you, the ues NEEDED a place like this. The gals and I hit it for a lovely Sunday brunch and every single bite nourished our souls. The food was fresh, the ambiance was delightful, and the service impeccable. I must say it's a tad pricier than other brunch spots but they aren't kidding when they say "fluffy" pancakes. Every bite was phenomenal.

You can truly taste the love and care they put into every dish. From start to finish, everything was exceptional, the service, the atmosphere, and of course, the food. We especially loved the Halibut and their homemade Gelato! We can’t wait to come back soon.

I and my children loved it. Very avant guard. A completely gourmet experience. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. A entirely different kosher cuisine.European touch the gelato was just like I had in Italy. Loved the apple caremel. And the fluffy pancake outrageous . The pizza wow a meal in itself. Eyeing the pastry table was an artistic endeavor. Seeing and eating is a must experience.

It was our first time at a kosher restaurant, even though we’re Asian. We loved all the little details, and the food was absolutely delicious. Even the honey that came with the tea felt so refined, and the sugar served with the coffee was adorable and elegant. When things are beautifully presented, they just taste better, don’t they? The pancake we ordered was fluffy and perfectly suited to my taste. The service was great, too. And if you come here, you must try the desserts — they were incredible. I loved them so much that I couldn’t help but ask for four to-go, and we enjoyed them at home later. I’m so glad a restaurant like this opened on the Upper East Side.

The prices and portions were actually despicable for what you are paying. We are two people who typically don't need that much food to fill us up. We ordered a salad app, pizza entree and the pumpkin ravioli entree. When the ravioli came there were THREE raviolis in the dish. Granted they were on the 'larger' side I guess but this was not an entree and not worth the price. We had to order another dish (pesto pasta) which did not make up for it. We got a dessert which we don't usually, it was the chocolate mousse cake and it was very good. All in we spent $175 for two people and left hungry, so we will not be running back. I do hope that management gets this message because I would go back if I would actually get a meal worth paying for, and the ambiance and service were very nice.

I’m a regular at their sister restaurant Abaita and was so excited to try this one. Food is delicious beyond! Atmosphere is great! A good few items from the menu weren’t available the night I was there. Given that the menu is small, missing a few items is much of the menu.. We ordered the soup, the waiter took our order but then came to say that it also not available. I mentioned at arrival that I also want something to go and please take our order before the kitchen closes, that simply didn’t happen and by the time I asked the kitchen was already closed. Very nice service but not attentive. It’s a new establishment, I’d still give them a chance to regulate their service.

Libbi offers Euro-Mediterranean kosher dairy eats - if you're a fan of Abaita, this is its sister restaurant! Try the cheesy pasta gratin, the spaghetti with pesto, the rosti terrine, and the pizzas - they also have a breakfast menu, so we'd like to try that on the next visit. Staff were unbelievably sweet, and the space was bright and colorful with good amount of seating. +Euro-Mediterranean eats +friendly staff & service
