Dante Nyc - Broad Channel

I’m reviewing Dante as a bar not as a restaurant (otherwise I would give it at most 3 stars). Overall, I would recommend to have appetizers and drinks but definitely not to have your main courses of your dinner/launch.We went with my wife on a Saturday night without reservation and we were able to get 2 sits at the bar pretty quickly.Food is a bit mixed: Good for quick bites joining your drinks only.1) We ordered two appetizers, the focaccia which was one of the best I’ve tried (super soft on the inside and crispy on the outside) and the cheese selection which was super high quality (one of the best I had in NY). This left us with super high expectations for the main courses.2) We had 2 main courses: Tagliatelle al limone with pistachio pesto stracciatella which was okeyish but definitely not a highlight of the Italian selection of NY. The gnocchi was horrendous: dry, hard and without flavor…I had better from an ALDI.Drinks: There is a great selection of Negronis and cocktails. Loved the Negronis and my wife really enjoyed one of her drinks. Would definitely come back just for the Negronis.Service was good but a bit slow. They seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people.The atmosphere had a great vibe. Definitely a good place to have some drinks.

Dante NYC in the West Village exceeded my expectations in every way. To start, their espresso martini was absolutely great, perfectly balanced and full of flavor. The oven-fresh bread, accompanied by salted butter, was a delightful way to kick off the meal.The steak tartare was a standout dish, with its amazing presentation and incredible taste. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each bite was a delight. Personally not a vegan but, I was pleased to find that Dante NYC offers great options, including a cauliflower dish that was both creative and satisfying.Not only were the vegan options impressive, but the chicken dish was also outstanding. The flavors were well-developed, and the dish was cooked to perfection.Dante NYC's dedication to quality ingredients and impeccable execution shines through in every dish. The inviting ambiance and attentive service added to the overall dining experience.Whether you're looking for fantastic cocktails, incredible vegan options, or a memorable chicken dish, Dante NYC in the West Village is the place to go. I highly recommend it for a remarkable dining experience.Vegetarian options: Amazing cauliflower dish

Veal ragu and sidewalk dining. One of the best locations for people watching. New York institution famous for their bar program. Get the cannoli too.
