    I obviously used to be a very big fan of this restaurant even through the location change. I've noticed in my last 8-10 visits that the service is subpar at best. Slow as can be. I shouldn't be starting to eat the food I was planning on taking home because I've been sitting so long waiting for a box. You could have gotten me to buy dessert and an extra glass of wine if I didn't have to wait 30 mins after I've finished eating to be checked on. I was waiting on this review because I frequent this establishment quite a bit but not anymore. The food is great but service means way more to me and I haven't had good service here in months. Also, I don't understand why Resy asks if it's a special occasion or if you have seating preferences if they're not even checking that when you get there. Pretentious restaurant but not a 5 star experience.

    Vegan Tirimisu

    My expectations were high for this place, and it honestly let me down a little bit which is why it's a three out of five for me. The restaurant itself was tighter than I thought, and the lighting may be nice for some but with it being loud and dark it was just a lot happening. We had the watercress salad with roasted grapes which was a decent salad. The Calabrian pizza was spicy but tasty ( I'm not a huge fan of spice, so my husband enjoyed it more but I loved the figs on it) My ravioli with almond ricotta was good but confusing. When I got it it was cold, and I mean ICE COLD in the middle. So I asked the waiter if that is how it's supposed to be cause I've never had a ravioli like that. The flavors were nice but it being cold was a little off putting. He said he wasn't sure but he would take it back and get a new order. When I had the second attempt, I actually bit into frozen almond ricotta and it honestly disappointed me. The highlight of the night was the Tirimisu, I haven't been able to enjoy a dairy free Tirimisu ever so it was everything I dreamed of and more. I don't think for me this was worth the $150+ that we spent, but I'm thankful I went and tried it out

    I did the pasta tasting, which was five courses of pasta with a bottle of wine (we chose the non-alcoholic option). I was really impressed - in my opinion, the pasta totally outshines all the fancy West Village restaurants. Bucatini - my favorite dish. The arrabiata sauce was bright and spicy, and the noodles had a wonderful al dente texture. Cappelletti - really creative and unique. The dumplings had a bit of bite to them, but gave way to a soft and creamy filling. The brodo was warming and flavorful, with nice aromatic notes and intoxicating truffle perfume. Gigli - savory and creamy, with nice variation from the fried leeks. Bigoli - super peppery and creamy. There were some nice floral notes from the pepper as well. And the pistachio added some unique notes as well. Tagliatelle - very tart and intense. There was a bit of a bitter note that made this not my favorite - probably from the broccoli rabe. Still very interesting. The non alcoholic wine option was a carbonated rosehip tea. It was delicious and slightly complex. I'm not sure it necessarily pairs well with any pasta in particular, but I really enjoyed it. The bill came to about $190 after tax and tip for two. It's a bit pricey for sure, but totally worth it since we got to experience so many different courses.

    Ravioli al Uovo

    This place is amazing. For starters, my server Madi and the bartender Manu were great company. Manu played great music, made delicious drinks, and was a fun conversationalist. Madi showed me a bunch of great wines from across the world with super detailed flavor profiles, truly a fun wine-tasting experience. From Italy, to Slovenia, I tasted notes of strawberries, chocolate, raspberry and more. She also made impeccable food suggestions and I was blown away by the focaccia, ravioli and arracinhi. We topped it off with a tiramisu. Focaccia- crispy on the outside, soft, warm and buttery on the inside. The garlic and chili pepper paste to dip was a nice contrast to the usual olive oil at most spots. Arracinhi- also very crispy. The star of the show here was the tomato sauce. Sweet and savory. Just straight up some great tomatoes. Ravioli- Wow. Just WOW. A very happy marriage between lemon and creaminess. You would never guess it's vegan. While it only came with 3 pieces, it was pretty filling. It also had these juicy mushrooms and sweet grape tomatoes that really added to the deliciousness. Tiramisu- Delicious. Not too sweet, surprisingly a bit chocolatey. Great way to end the meal. I don't eat a lot of vegan food but after this meal I'd like to add some vegan spots to my rotation. Even my boyfriend, who said he didn't want to eat vegan food, will most definitely be coming back. I would be more than happy to try the rest of the food, cocktails, and wines at this spot. Soda Club is my newest obsession and go-to elevated date spot. The vibe is homey, romantic, and intimate, while also being funky and innovative with their menu.

    Carbonara pinsa
    Rebecca D.

    My favorite meal I had on my last trip to New York. Everything was exceptional! I sat at the bar and it wasn't too crowded on a Saturday at 6:30. Very cozy ambiance - low lighting, comfortable, not too loud. I ordered the Dear Dahlia cocktail and the carbonara pinsa. My cocktail was delightful - fizzy and fruity with a floral hint. It tasted like a very fresh alcoholic blood orange. As for the pinsa - I am not ashamed to admit that I polished off this definitely-meant-to-be-shared flatbread by myself. It was SO good, the perfect combination of salty and sweet, creamy and crunchy. The flatbread itself was crispy and delicious and all the toppings just worked incredibly well together. Yes I was absolutely stuffed after and yes it was worth it. (Also I always roll my eyes when people say this but truly - I never would have guessed this was vegan if I didn't know.)

    Arancini

    Another plant based banger! This is owned by the same hospitality group that manages Cadence, Ladybird, Avant Garden, and Third Kingdom. Plant based Italian food done this well is so trippy because how is the food just as rich and creamy without dairy? The arabiatta sauce that accompanied the bucatini was so layered and flavorful. Only complaint is that the date cake itself was dry but the ice cream salvaged it.

    Italian food that's fully #vegan ! My favorite was the gigli pasta (truffle cream sauce with shaved truffle) because the flavor was more balanced whereas the other pasta dishes were much heavier.

    Cannoli
    Luiza A.

    Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and it was absolutely lovely! The inside is so beautifully decorated and the staff was so kind and attentive. We split the carbonara pizza which was incredible! Perfect size for 2 people and the toppings go so well together. We also got the cappelletti which was so comforting with the broth and went really well with the pizza. For dessert we got the cannoli (comes with 2) which was absolutely delicious. The dulce de leche dipping sauce was perfect and the cannoli filling was incredible. As a non vegan, I throughly enjoyed the food here and would absolutely come back!

    Tiramisu and Cannoli
    Ritvi S.

    Went to soda club and had their pasta sampler with 3 others. (Disclaimer: must have a minimum of 2 people) Service was good and ambiance was cute but the best part is definitely the food. Out of the 6 pastas, I loved 4/6 so it's definitely a good place to go with those who love carbs and wants to try a variety of pastas. I don't think the deal itself is that great since if you do the math all you do is save a couple of dollars but it's worth it for the experience. We also ordered cannolis and tiramisu post stuffing ourselves. Soooo goood and can't believe everything is vegan.

    Carbonara pizza

    Best Italian food I've had in US. The carbonara pizza was the best pizza I've eaten. The gnocchi was incredible and the pastas were sooo good and you need to get the starter aranchini

    Cannoli
    Lauren C.

    I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. We had heard a lot of hype about Soda Club, and we were particularly inspired to go after being hugely impressed by their sister restaurant Third Kingdom. When it comes to Italian food, I feel like a restaurant has to come through either with big comforting portions (e.g. John's of 12th Street), or some kind of innovation (e.g. Coletta). Soda Club didn't really do either. We started with the focaccia and herbed ricotta appetizer, which was good but not memorable. A few skinny slices of toasted focaccia. In terms of pasta, I had my heart set on something with red sauce, so I was shocked to hear that only one pasta dish on the entire menu had tomato sauce! We got this one dish, the bucatini, which was good enough but underportioned. The other pasta dishes all sounded really rich and creamy or had too many fried components, so despite having come to Soda Club (a self-proclaimed pasta bar) expressly for pasta, we ended up getting a pizza as our other entree. We asked which of the three pizzas had tomato sauce, and we were informed that one of them did - the current special - so that's the one we ordered. It came with vegan chorizo, mushrooms, and microgreens. It notably did not have tomato sauce. It was a weird but pretty tasty dish, and thank goodness it filled us up after the scanty little plate of pasta that was gone in four bites. Lastly, the service was pretty disappointing. We had to sit outside because they were so crowded even on a Thursday night. This would have been fine if they had checked on us a little more frequently; the hostess actually ended up being the one to check on us/refill our water/bring us the check etc. m All in all, we were underwhelmed and can only assume their popularity is largely due to their cute atmosphere and extensive wine/cocktail selection.

    I loveeee the variety of vegan food you can get in NYC, and once I heard Soda Club was on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list, I needed to go! We got the arancini to start off our meal which was so crunchy! To follow it up, we got the truffle gigli pasta and the ravioli. The truffle gigli was INSANE. I was incredibly surprised by how much I loved the truffle taste. The fried leeks on top added some texture which was an awesome addition. The ravioli was good, but nothing too crazy. To end the meal, we got tiramisu which was pretty disappointing. Overall though, definitely a great restaurant to visit, i will always be craving the gigli :)

    We stopped here for a few drinks and it was wonderful! Not too pretentious and the drinks were tasty! Worth the price! Cute inside and the food looked good too.

First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

We went with wines by the glass and I appreciated the confidence of the menu: it was small enough to not feel overwhelming, yet curated to have something for every palate and preference. My first glass was an unfiltered orange wine from the Alsace region of France (Tout Terriblement Maceration). It was funky and almost pithy in texture, with notes of apple and apricot. Definitely great if you're looking for something a little intense and off the beaten path. For my second glass, I felt like a lighter red, so I went with the Puszta Libre, a chilled Zweigelt from Austria. While it was slightly more standard than my first glass, I loved its funky nose and red and tropical fruits. I can't remember exactly what my husband had, but he loved his drinks, too.

It was solid, but nothing that I would order again or recommend. The duck was on the dry side. Definitely not enough sauce. The cabbage and the cabbage salad were good. Crispy and refreshing. The duck was not the star of this dish. $13 chocolate mousse with strawberry coulis was surprisingly delightful. So light and balanced. Not sweet, but just right to finish a meal. I could eat this dessert every day after every single meal. So simple, yet it hit the spot. Service is very fast and efficient. One of our readers was superb and provided stellar recommendations. Another waiter (young and inexperienced) was very shy and his energy felt very stifling.

    Bar 56 is conveniently located in the middle of DUMBO & albeit I can't speak much for the food, I…read morecan say that their drinks are great. Do note that they have an awesome HH from 5 to 6 PM where all of the cocktails are only $10- yes, only $10 (a rarity in NYC let alone in DUMBO). I had the harvest moon & the seaside drift. Both were good but the seaside drift definitely stood out to me. I also ordered the crispy brussel sprouts which were pretty tasty but a bit too charred for my liking. However, it was still good & the drinks totally made up for it. Lastly, I forgot the name of the bartender but despite being quite busy from 5-6 PM he was very attentive and nice. I'd be back for the other drinks & certain interesting dinner menu items as well such as their lamb neck.

    Wonderful happy hour here with hubs & a good friend recently. Late afternoon on a Saturday, it was…read morefairly easy to find a table outside. We just wanted a glass of wine. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We were never rushed. I had an excellent glass of viognier; our friend had a nice Lambrusco. Nice ambiance inside at the bar. We'll be back!

First off, the front door is mounted on flimsy plastic hinges, so every time someone opens it, it swings open violently and knocks the vase off the nearby table. The service was somehow even worse. When I was there on Tuesday, May 19th from 8-10 PM, there was exactly ONE bartender working the entire place -- both inside and outside -- and she was unbelievably inattentive. My date and I sat at the bar for TWENTY MINUTES before she even acknowledged us or asked if we wanted drinks. I literally had to call out "Excuse me" just to order a $25 quarter-filled glass of wine. Embarrassing all around. And when we were ready to leave and wanted the check, the female bartender working on Tuesday May 19th from 8-10 PM was busy standing in the corner chatting with someone instead of helping customers. I haven't seen someone move this slowly or care this little since the DMV. TO MANAGEMENT - this was absolutely horrible, embarrassing, and unprofessional service. Clean up your act, and hire a second or even a third bartender.
