Andrew CerdaApril 21, 2016Singer-songwriter showcase (live music) every first and third Wednesday of the month. Really awesome blues, rock and folk artists.
Cody-Ann 👑💫November 27, 2016Bruch is delicious good portions. They have a bottomless brunch option but all brunch items comes with 2 bloody Marys or mimosa.
Fab place for group brunch - no problem seating 19 for my birthday. Food, service & atmosphere are all great. $17 includes entree & 2 drinks. An extra $5 gets you unlimited bloodies/mimosas for 2hrs.
Kiki MoreoOctober 6, 2012Amazing brunch - I recommend the eggs Benedict with the prosciutto. Dinner is also very good- terrific Caesar salad and pastas. I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was perfect.
Emily ExtonOctober 10, 2012It's always great to find a happy hour that lasts until 9 p.m. $4 beer/wine until then, plus cozy Italian food all night. Pizza and bruschetta are especially dope.- I love this place and they have excellent pastas, salads & seasonal specials. But don't ever drink the tap water. It has tasted awful for years and I've no idea why.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The butter-dripping baked potato and the crostini with roasted garlic make good starters/snacks. Read more
Robert DeebMarch 9, 2016Stuffed Artichoke and the Rigatoni Cosanostra are always great. So is everything else. Good music, drinks. Atmosphere.
Ben HudginsSeptember 16, 2013Pizzas are delicious and I highly recommend the Spaghetti Messina. Be warned though; the latter has an extremely strong taste. Fish haters beware :-).
Danielle PrielippJuly 15, 2013The pizza here is delicious! I would highly recommend the Carbonara. Can't wait to come back and try their pasta dishes.
MtoMDecember 3, 2011What an awesome place! A total oasis in EV. Cool blues , I can here my wife talk, awesome 6 person button leather booths for dinner. We're only here for drinks, but we'll be back.
Santo and Anthony are the most gracious hosts. The rice balls are off the charts and awesome happy hour deal til 8!
Yera HaApril 23, 2015Pretty good brunch! The staff is incredibly nice and the mimosas are STRONG. What more could you want?
Lance LacoffNovember 26, 2016Nice brunch, try the eggs Benedict dishes. I heard dinner is good here as well.
Simon & SchusterJanuary 3, 2011Steve Seabury, author of Mosh Potatoes heavy metal cookbook, recommends anything on the pizza menu but his personal fave is the ham & mushroom. Friday nights in the basement is where the party starts! Read more
Heidi GaloreMarch 19, 2013Daily happy hour, friendly bar staff and great shows in the lounge once, twice, thrice a week sometimes usually around 8pm.
Ridiculously good food upstairs and awesome bar downstairs - great place to spend your Friday night!
Christine WeiFebruary 7, 2015Sausage in Lower East Side Special was really good during brunch, but they left out the bread and I had to ask for coffee 4 times in an hour. Really??
Jen KJune 16, 2013Get a corner table outside for people watching and keep the bottomless drinks and rosemary bread baskets a-coming.
Great food and wonderful people to take care of you. Love the whole wheat pizza crust and Caesar salad!
If you know me, you know I live 3 of Cups. If you haven't been yet, go, and if you have been come back. You won't regret it.
Regina BrigantiJuly 24, 2011Best wood burning pizza. Have been going here since it opened when I was a little girl :). Great memories here.
Awesome food upstairs & great ROCK music & bartenders below!
Barton SmithFebruary 8, 2015Awesome dive bar that serves pizza from upstairs and stays open till 4am.
Nisha ChittalSeptember 22, 2013Wonderful, cozy neighborhood spot with good food, good drinks, and even better service.
Narisa OlivieriJuly 8, 20132nd time here.... Everything about this place is amazing and delicious. My fav Italian spot!
Robert SchleihaufMay 11, 2013Bartender Zach is cool. Eating brunch outside resulted in sketchy service. Good food. Loving the bottomless mimosas.
Piper GoodeveOctober 3, 2013Sweet! Actors reading writers happens the first Thursday of the month downstairs! It's super sweet!
The coziest and most authentic Sicilian restaurant in EV, brick-oven pizza and bread served hot with the meal! And the price is right!
Nicolette RomeroFebruary 15, 2016They make sure to keep your mimosa full, even after you're done eating! 🍊🍾
SparkieSeptember 25, 2012East Village – Brunch menus range from $14.95 – $19.95 that includes 2 cocktails. For just $5 more.. get AYCD!
Susan LohJuly 9, 2011Huge portions! Recommend brunch polenta and paparadelle. Pro tip: for extra $5, bottomless mimosas and bloodies.
Adolfo Rivera JrJune 23, 2014That downstairs portion though...Cheap to drink there...those couches are comfy though.
Sean MurphJune 27, 2011Excellent brick oven restaurant upstairs, cool east village lounge downstairs.
Great lil rock n roll dive bar!! Also great Italian food upstairs!
Denise JonesJune 29, 2013Service was slow but food is good! Bottomless brunch $23 til 4pm.. Huge portion sizes.
K.T.June 12, 2011Polenta d'amore for brunch and make sure you get their warm bread to dip it in. Yummm.
LaurenMarch 27, 2013Skip the upstairs and head down to the metal bar below instead. Make sure you bring cash though - they charge you mysterious "upstairs" prices if you have them run your card.
The Ceasar Salad is out of this world and so it the Pizza. Oh and the fresh baked Focaccia bread is to die for!

"One of the best oyster happy hour in NYC - $12 for 6 oysters and beer, even on week-ends. Choose from a selection of 3-4 oyster choices and a nice beer list."
Anne Taillandier - 8.2
"Good beer selection - albeit mostly not on tap - and a very nice patio + real outdoor area in heart of East Village. A good “start the night” kind of spot with max 6-8"
