Rachel PortMay 8, 2017Everything here is so scrumptious and beautifully plated. I was expecting to get a pasta dish but the zucchini croquettes, tune tartare, and quinoa salad were enough for two to split.

Rachel RohinskyMarch 22, 2018Epistrophy is a hidden gem, excellent for brunch when other places in the area are mobbed. The food is tasty, relatively healthy, & the bar stocked with top-shelf liquor. A very cute space too!
Stina P.March 21, 2014burrata, pappardelle, kale salad, latte. split. repeat. a cozy nolita gem perfect for dinner with pals or a late night tryst.
Always ask for bread. Get the orecchiette (or pappardelle) and a glass (or bottle) of montepulciano and lounge all night-- they never rush you here.
Jenn CoughlinSeptember 15, 2016Went for brunch as I usually love this place for Sunday night dinners and live music. The zucchini fritters with egg and avocado were great. The speed of service at the bar was subpar.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍February 26, 2020Epistrophy is great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just coffee/ drinks in a charming atmosphere. Love this cute Italian spot for it's intimate vibe and solid food and wines
Jasmine MehrabiAugust 4, 2019SO COZY. I had the Brussels spout salad and added chicken which was so good. I sat outside but the decor inside is perfect. Would def come back.
MetroFocusJanuary 30, 2012If your workplace is a laptop, consider this location your new boffice (bar+office=boffice.) Come for the boffice, stay to try their artichoke liqueur… Read more about boffices in NY on MetroFocus Read more
FaithJuly 6, 2018One of the pasta truffle gnocchi I ever had! Portions are not overwhelmingly huge, but the flavor is! A local gem!
Liese BiesJuly 19, 2015I had the very tasty croquettes and the amazing tuna dish. By the interior you would think this is just a bar that serves some food, but actually the food is de-li-cious!!
İpek A.April 23, 2016It's a beautiful place to eat some italian food and spend good time. Nice crowd, nice staff and reasonable music👍🏻
One of my top 10 meals in NY, maybe top 3. Seared Tuna steak with asparagus velouté, red onions and capers. Pair it with a Malbec and mashed potatoes w/truffle oil.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsOctober 1, 2013Get your wine in a small carafe and try the Parpadelle al sugo di carne! The ham or cheese platters are also great for a lunch or snack stop! Read more
Luis LewisNovember 12, 2017A lot of organic options, fresh and homemade pastas, amazing steak. And yes, they do accept credit cards
Zii HammadAugust 27, 2014Good food, reasonable prices, and nice feel. Can be a little louder than other small restaurants at times, but that doesn't bother me. Cash only, and not fantastic.
Amy SagarJanuary 17, 2015I really enjoyed the spaghetti with crab and the mashed potatoes in truffle oil. Fun atmosphere too!
the burrata will melt in your mouth. mushroom gnocchi with truffle oil, too. tiramisu for dessert. mmmmmm!- I've been here several times and I can't order anything else: veal cutlet with shaved fennel salad. Pair with a nice glass of red wine. 👌
Julia QiuNovember 14, 2014Amazing burrata and homemade pastas. Cozy atmosphere, love this gem of a place
Emma 🐸December 23, 2015So cozy. The artichoke ravioli is great as well as the prosciutto chicken. Perfect for first dates and all the ones after.- Rachel RohinskyMarch 22, 2018Quinoa bowl. Happy hour is a good deal: $6 wines & beers, $9 cocktails from 4-7 (weekdays only)
Without a doubt one of the best burratas to be had in this neighborhood. Try it.
Theda SandifordJuly 5, 2011Try the Pollo En Salada - Who says grilled chicken salads are boring? This herb infused grilled chicken is bursting with flavor while sliced green grapes add a touch of whimsy making this the perfect- SecondMarketNovember 3, 2011Their fruit and cheese plate (small) is large enough for two, and comes with delicious toasted bread, as well. Great selection of wine, and tell Marie we said hello!
Michelle WilesOctober 3, 2016Wine list comes with helpful descriptions on taste, body, etc for those wannabe-but-not-actual winos
Zach AaronsFebruary 18, 2012Really great place to grab a panino for lunch. I especially like the tuna. In the summers it is nice to sit outside if you are in a small group. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Chiara LegittimoSeptember 14, 2015Amazing food, magic atmosphere especially on Sunday night with live music! Really good service! ❤️
Leen CouvreurSeptember 2, 2014Simple but refined italian food (i had the gniocci with meatballs) And fine italian wines! Worth every dime!
daniel martynetzDecember 6, 2011Quality, "cute" Italian place. Great vibe and equally good food. Everything is good but if you can't decide try one of their season specials. Enjoi
Duygu AKTANJanuary 5, 2016Best service in this part of town! They don't rush you out the door. Don't forget; cash or amex only!
marley magazinerJune 7, 2013This place makes me so happy. Open late, comfort food, wine and carbs forever. Don't ever leave me.
Brooklyn vibes in Soho, this place is a little gem. Any of the Tagliere options will not disappoint.
Ryan BrightSeptember 5, 2015Cute wine bar with a nice selection. Come for the outdoor seating when the weather's nice.
for brunch: eggs with farro, peas and pancetta — add the grilled chicken to it.
Space CatAugust 15, 2020Great cocktails and atmosphere. The spaghetti pesto wasn’t super tasteful, needed more salt and basil
HolidayJuly 30, 2017Colorful quinoa salad and creamy polenta with poached eggs. Pleased as punch! Delighted.
IlariaFebruary 7, 2015Nice place to have a coffee and meet your friends! Food was good but not so "Italian" how they say!
Becca V.March 9, 2012How has this place not been written up? Great wine, food, atmosphere. Perfect for a date.
- get the burrata. the giant ball of goat cheese and tomatoes on the side will make you want to keep eating forever. peroni on the side. an afternoon snack.
- Adding a follow up after 2 years and numerous date nights and out of town visitors - still boom bangin!
