Peasant

Peasant is a neighborhood gem, and secretly also destination worthy in the sense that it's familiar food that is thoughtfully prepared and not egregiously priced. The place consistently delivers and has stood the test of time. It doesn't blow you away but instead is like a welcoming hug from an old friend that you wonder why don't we talk more often?Though those that run hot beware that it's a wood fired driven establishment so you should wear light clothing no matter the season.

The ambiance was really cool in the downstairs tables but I thought the food was just alright and I wished I liked it more. We did have an accompaniment of wine though that were all delicious.- the appetizers were all generally good: Caesar salad was well dressed, the burrata was more of a spread but still tasty, and the octopus was tender and not spicy despite description- the carbonara bucatini was interesting because you shook the jar yourself, but it was a bit too liquid and I ended up not getting any pieces of meat so not much texture difference. The vodka rigatoni was much better- the chicken, suckling pig, and the steak generally all had good texture but the flavor was lacking in all 3 I thought. Perhaps, they were letting the meat shine on its own but I could've used a more flavorful sauce- I liked the apple crisp + evoo Gelato the most from the desserts; the ginger cookies and brownies were passable

We were a party of four on Thanksgiving. We got a really nice circular table in the rear of the virtually all candle lit beautiful restaurant. Our choice was the standard turkey with multi sides for the table included Brussels sprouts, dressing, yams and something with mushrooms. All over the top delicious. After lots of wine and tons of fun we finished with apple pie ala mode. I know it sounds passé, let me tell you it was anything but. We were treated like long lost friends by everybody. Our waitstaff was very attentive and kept our wine glasses filled. We were visited tableside by the owner chef, who was friendly and welcoming. We'll go back before we leave for the summer.

A cozy spot for Italian eats tucked into the Nolita area -- the interior is so rustic and charming, really loved the brick, wooden tables and candlelight details. It's a great spot for a date night or dinner with friends! The waiters here were really nice and good at making recommendations. We got apps to share and they have different sizes for entrees if you're sharing versus not, which was great. I highly recommend everything we got, including the Snap Peas and Burrata appetizers and Vodka Rigatoni! I'd come back to try some of the fish entrees and more of the pastas.

Beautiful restaurant, with great vibes. When you walk in the restaurant is lit by hundreds of candles. Service was great, very attentive staff.Food was generally pretty good, though I had to order the suckling pig and though tasty and loved the little rib on top. Some parts of the dish were served room temperature vs hot which is a pet peeve of mine. The short-rib pasta was very very good and highly recommend!Octopus was good, though relatively small. The charred sugar snap peas were good, especially pared with the labneh.

Came here for the rigatoni alla vodka with basil bread crumbs... it was amazing! Also really liked the fresh bread with ricotta and prosciutto. Didn't care for the hazelnut dessert. Loved all of the candles that lit up the restaurant.

Didn't have any reservations but was able to snag a seat at the bar and bartenders were sooo nice and friendly! We got the rigatoni and agnolotti which were both delicious but the agnolotti was definitely our favorite. Really cool vibes in there will definitely be back!

WowWhat a disasterI didn't pay since it was my birthday but it was so NOTgood that I felt bad.So bad that I bought us shitty Prince street pizza after. Not my choice.I hate that I even have to write a bad review and I'm so beside myself, but man was this a disappointing experience.I almost need to catch myself and re-write this later when I can recompose my brain cells after how shockingly disappointing last night was.Maybe it was me, maybe I ordered wrong; I didn't know I was supposed to get the suckling pig, I didn't really scope the place out beforehand.The veal porterhouse just tasted like burnt flavor, tender but not tasty, the oysters were oysters, not super impressive as they wanted it to be.Slow drink service, wanted another for quite a while and when the pasta came to the table with cheese on top, unfortunately she doesn't like that sort of heavenly thing, so they took it away, took off the top layer of pasta, and brought it back to the table. The pasta wasn't even good quality, 5 rigatonis shouldn't stick together but I did try it and think it had a delicious flavor.All in all I actually don't think it was crazy expensive and I'm wishing I tried the suckling pig. I wasn't paying attention I guess.I'd say next time but I just don't think we'd give them another chance. Sad because I'm sure it's good. Babi Guling is one of the best meals in this planet if done right. Ughghg I wanna go but I know I won't after last night and all the other places I need to knock off the list.

We did the special whole pig dinner with a big group of friends. tl;dr the roast pig was a letdown, under seasoned and the skin was inedible. The sides were actually much better than the pig itself. Charcuterie, Pizza Bianca were decent (not great). For $125/pp plus tax/tip this experience just wasn't worth it even with very respectable portion sizes for the family style situation. The atmosphere was pretty good, old-rustic charm space and you can see the wood-fire oven in the back.Food: 4/10Value: 4/10Service: 6/10Vibe: 7/10

Ahhh! Peasant made my first experience here such a great one! So happy I stopped in. Eric was so great with us. I came here for a business meeting , all I wanted was pasta and good wine. Peasant did just that and some. I have to return to experience the menu entirely. We dined downstairs in the wine bar , which was cool . There was an event happening in the main dining area. No sweat they accommodated us swiftly. The hostess I believe her name was Nya she was so pleasant and helpful. Ok food! I ordered the smoked linguine and boy was I satisfied! My wine choice was a rosso, Papa celso it was perfect ! Nice and light . I really enjoyed my time here . I will be back! Hidden gem for sure!
