"The restaurant group that recently partnered with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce on a Kansas City steakhouse is bringing another one of their steak-forward concepts to NYC. Sparrow Italia, which also has outposts in Miami and London, is landing in Chelsea with half-pound meatballs, calabrian chile-rubbed NY strips, and multiple stages for live performances." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"Sparrow, with its suited doorman, expensive steaks, and live jazz, aims to be the Wynwood destination for a sexy night out. And while the bar is low (they’re neighbors with The Dirty Rabbit), they succeed. It has the over-the-top energy of a clubstaurant, but the jazz quartet isn't so loud and they actually know how to cook a steak here. A bill for two can go way over $200—and the food’s just fine—so keep this place in mind when you’re not paying or wearing something too tight to eat that much. Reservations open 21 days in advance and if you want a table from Thursday to Saturday, plan at least two weeks ahead. For the bad planners, the walk-in bar is a good alternative—especially since food isn’t really the point of this place. They offer the full menu there and it’s long enough to reliably grab a seat for you and your unpromising blind date." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Sparrow Italia, already drawing celebrities like Alicia Keys and Serena Williams at its London location, lands in Wynwood with plates of pasta and Italian cocktails. The menu highlights bone marrow cappelletti with Barolo reduction, wagyu meatballs, truffle cacio e pepe, and a bar program featuring coconut-infused spritzes and Italian wines. The space pairs blue velvet booths and Venetian plaster walls with carved wood arches and brass accents." - Olee Fowler, Eater Staff

"Celebrity magnet Sparrow Italia brings its glamorous Italian dining experience from London to Wynwood, complete with nightly musical performances where singers weave between tables belting classic tunes. The dramatic setting features blue velvet booths, Venetian plaster walls, and carved wood arches, serving as a backdrop for bone marrow cappelletti with Barolo reduction, wagyu meatballs, and truffle cacio e pepe. The bar leans into Miami’s tropical side with coconut-infused spritzes alongside Italian wines. Fair warning: between the performers and the buzzy crowd, this isn’t the spot for an intimate conversation." - Eater Staff
