This place is a in New York. On Sundays they have live jazz music and the atmosphere is really sweet. The food is delicious. This is my second time here, the first time I order the tuna tartare and it was perfect, the Brussels sprouts salad with smoked salmon is a 10/10 the ugly beauty (the cucumber gimlet) it’s delicious. The service is super friendly and they make you feel like you are in a cozy house. Don’t miss this place specially on a Sunday if you are searching for a cute little spot in the heart of Manhattan for some good vibes and live music

We discovered this cozy place by walk. We were warmly welcomed by a Sardinian guy. Unfortunately we don’t know his name. After a few days we decided to have dinner there. We were not surprised to find a restaurant atmosphere with good vibes. The maloreddus and the bruschetta with sardines were delicious. Cacio e pepe I personally prefer it al dente. Overall we warmly recommend this Cafe, Bar and Restaurant. Thank you for making this evening unforgettable. Italian and partly Sardinian Family.

Great food, amazing atmosphere. It was a pleasant find for brunch. The speed of service and the portioning is just right. I want to come back to try more variety of the pasta they had.

Atmosphere is very pretty! Music blends in beautifully and decorations provide a unique and wonderful environment. Food was also delicious, well-timed, and diverse in options and customizations. Our server was kind, welcoming, and helpful with menu recommendations and.

The first thing that I liked was the interior. It was so nicely done, right from color selection to bookshelf with several Italian books and art pieces. The Sphagetti cacio e pepe was so exciting, as it reminded me of food in Italy! I loved it and would recommend to anyone Epistrophy for the first time. Trofie pesto was so homely, it was so light and fresh.
