Nerea

Amazing food! We started with the Burrata and prosciutto followed by the Tagliatelle al Ragu and Linguine cacio Pepe. An absolute must try! Our server Riccardo was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We finished the night with espresso martinis by Lukas and by far, the best espresso martinis we ever had!

Came here to hang out with my friends. We started our dinner with some drinks. I got an espresso martini with vodka. It had just right amount of espresso and vodka, so the drink was balanced and smooth. It was delicious! Happy hour was not finished until 6:30pm, do each drink that we ordered were $10 each! We also got 2 appetizers to share. One was Ceviche di Mare, and the other was Parmigiana Dorata. Ceviche di Mare was so delicious, it was made with some cubed fish “cooked” in lemon juice and served on top of a piece of crispy bread with some herbs and red onions. It was so simple and wholesome. Parmigiana Dorata was nice, too. Crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. The tomato sauce gave it a nice zing. The bread before the meal was also very good. I just wish it was warm. The olive oil was good quality. For the main course, we got 2 today’s special, a tomahawk steak cooked medium rare, and a gnocchi. The tomahawk was huge. The server said it was enough for 2-3 people. I didn’t believe him, because they tend to exaggerate. He was not kidding. The portion was big, and it was cooked perfectly. It came with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus and steam broccolini. I have to say, it was one of the best roasted potatoes I’ve ever had. It was naturally sweet, and so crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The tomahawk was very tender, and had just right amount of fat. It was nice and juicy. The other two vegetables were nice, too. The gnocchi was cooked pretty good. The texture was great. Sauce was well made as well. We also got a Tagliatelle al Ragu. The pasta was homemade. I have never had a pasta like this. The texture was so unique and was totally different from the dried pasta. The sauce was nice, but not as great as the other two dishes. The servers were nice and friendly. The whole restaurant was very clean. Recommend this place to hang out with friends and family! It’s got good food and good drinks!

Nerea is absolutely my favorite place to visit whenever I'm in West Village - especially in the summer, when I always come back for their amazing cocktails and spritzers. Tonight I had the Caesar salad and the Lobster pasta special, and both were fantastic. The wine selection is always great (if you don't know which one to pick, make sure to ask for recommendation!!), the food is consistently top-notch (so I forgot to take pics), and the service is truly what keeps me coming back. It's one those rare places that feels welcoming no matter the time or occasion. A big thank you to Lukas, Julia, and the entire team for your warm hospitality as always. I can't wait to return!! At least I took a picture of the limoncello I had to have to get the food digested!

Place is spacious enough for an intimate meal, well curated atmosphere. Food is fabulous and the steak deserves a mention- very quality cut, tasty at a very reasonable price- do not sleep on those potatoes on the side, it was a showstopper- shocking, I know. Now, drinks. Man, was that impressive- Lucas, who curated the drink menu also our bartender and made our drinks was beyond lovely- and the caprese martini- Let me tell you- sooo intricately made, complex and so elegant! Have it when you can. Superb.

Chic Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village, I arrived around 6:30 and managed to snag a spot during happy hour during a really cold winter night. They had an impressive selection of drinks, including Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martini, and Negronis, all priced at an unheard-of $10. The happy hour menu also featured a variety of appetizers and bites. We started with the arancini appetizer from the happy hour menu. For dinner, we indulged in the Parmigiana Dorata, a crispy fried eggplant topped with stracciatella cheese, basil pesto, cherry tomatoes, and a rich sauce. The Polpo Arrostito was another highlight, a grilled octopus served with sautéed broccoli rabe and stracciatella cheese (chef’s kiss 👌). To round off our meal, we enjoyed the Tagliatelle al Ragu. The food was delicious and well-presented, though it could have benefited from a bit more seasoning and flavor. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience.

The food was on point. We ordered the prosciutto and seafood linguine . The cheesecake was very good too. The staff were all especially friendly.

The food was great, the real issue was that our waiter was high, he smelled bad and also smelled of weed, and towards the end of our meal he couldn’t even speak straight. The server name is Cristian, and that detail made my experience not be one that matches the good food that the place has.

I will start by saying the portions are absolutely on the smaller side but everything was amazing and worth every penny. We came as a party of 6, during the first seating, on a very quiet Monday in November, so we got a lot of attention from the staff. They were absolutely amazing and were not bothered by our 1 million and 1 questions. The attentiveness was a1. From the dietary restrictions to the shellfish allergy, we were in good hands. We ended up ordering quite a few bottles of wines and cocktails and tried (I kid you not) half of the menu. The highlights were the bruschetta, octopus, ceviche and the watermelon salad. Weirdly enough, these were the simplest dishes on the menu but they were perfectly executed. I enjoyed every bite! I will definitely come back again (and again). Our servers/bartenders Andreas and Andreas were absolutely wonderful. We had a great time with them. This is the perfect date night/intimate restaurant. You do NOT need to sacrifice having great service, aesthetics or good food, they have all three perfected. We weren’t able to try desserts so I guess that is a review for next time.
