Italian spot with housemade pastas & seasonal vegetable dishes
"You know when you think, “If I only had a private chef to make me delicious, luxuriously prepared vegetables every day, surely I’d never touch these Doritos again”? Sempre Oggi makes the food you’re imagining. The hyper-seasonal Sicilian restaurant tweaks their menu almost every day, based on what produce is available at its peak. This means they have great vegetable-forward dishes, but you should focus on the housemade pastas and porchetta cooked to crackly skinned perfection. The restaurant is huge, with a beachy look that feels like it belongs to a luxury resort. Bring some visiting relatives or coworkers when you want something slightly upscale but informal." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"The lone Upper West Side entry on the list, noted for dishes “with a bit of flair.”" - Melissa McCart
"This Italian neighborhood restaurant features three courses for $45 all week long. The deal includes dishes like beets and stracciatella, chicken liver mousse, fried calamari, and a little gem salad. There’s a seafood brodetto, braised beef over polenta, spinach cannelloni, or rigatoni all’Amatriciana for mains. Biscotti, gelato, tiramisu, or crostata rounds out dessert." - Melissa McCart
"An three-course Italian-accented Thanksgiving is the $85 offer at this Upper West Sider that starts with chestnut pappardelle with turkey leg ragu, escarole and fennel salad, or squash soup. Mains include porchetta and almond-crusted halibut in addition to roasted turkey breast. Warm apple crostata and pumpkin cheesecake with rum caramel make a festive finish." - Beth Landman
"“It is Italian and it's a great new addition to the neighborhood. Paul and Hannah, our show creators, and I, went there and had sort of a ‘cheers to us’ dinner. I can't even remember what we ate, but it was so good. The service was very pleasant and the booths were spacious so you're not sitting right on top of somebody. I'm just so happy it's here in the neighborhood. I will be back. I'll go sit at the bar. I like to sit in the corner of a bar by myself. That makes it sound kind of sad, but for me, I can just focus on what I'm doing.”" - brennan carley
