Our Guestbook
“ Nice atmosphere and cool drinks. Food was good and service very good. I would go back if in the neighborhood. ”
“ I went here recently and really enjoyed the food. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The waiter was well informed about the specials and the wines and helped us choose two delicious reds. The fried flower appetizer was a special that day and I really enjoyed it, but my favorite part of the meal had to be the truffle. It was freshly shaved on top of the pasta at the table side and made the meal. The sauce was also creamy and satisfying. The ambiance had cute date night or evening vibes ”
“ 5 stars just for the happy hour (that's all I come for, I'm sure the food is fantastic though) because where else do I find a $10 espresso martini that I can have customized?? You can choose different liquors - I go with the mezcal - and it's such a treat in a not-too-loud space that is gorgeous, lit just enough, and staffed by such kind folks. The Negroni is solid, as well as their HH wines. Bruschetta and shishito peppers are an easy go-to. Anyway - HH - fabulous. ”
“ Great service and great vibes. Loved the aesthetic and lovely happy hour. We ordered wine and apps and it was a great deal ”
“ Came for a low key dinner with my sister on a Monday night. We live in the neighborhood and have walked by many times since the opening and wanted to come in. Great vibes, great food and our server Andrea was kind and knowledgeable. ”
“ The West Village is a reminder of old New York. Nerea was a low key, under the radar spot we found. No reservations were needed on that Thursday evening after a workout. Upon entry, it was dimly lit with a sultry ambiance, which is super sexy. To add to the vibe, they had what sounded like a Succession-esk playlist played throughout the evening. The staff were super accommodating and friendly. We decided to sit at the bar and check out the menu. The Mediterranean salad (Insalata Mediterrana) with extra kalmanta olives was just what I needed. No complaints. My friend had the Spaghetti with 24 karat gold leaf (Spaghetti al Pomo e Oro). Definitely plan to return. ”
“ Had a truffle pasta craving and Nerea just hit the spot. The staff were attentive and friendly, ambiance was quiet and romantic. They started us off with some complimentary bread and olive oil. I got my usual espresso martini and you guessed it - my truffle pasta. The presentation was A+ and plenty of truffle shavings to top. ”
