Alice

“I love this restaurant in general, but I had an especially great experience during my visit this past Sunday for my birthday. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure I felt celebrated and had a great time. Our server, Lexi, was extremely attentive, sweet, and very professional. Her recommendations were absolutely spot on, 10/10. Later in our visit, Faheem, who had just started his shift after we were seated, also stopped by our table to greet us and took the time to personally wish me a happy birthday, which really made the experience stand out. Overall, the service and attention to detail made my birthday meal truly memorable at Alice.”

“I took my girlfriend here for here birthday. It’s a place that she’s walked by many times and always wanted to try, and it did not disappoint. The food tasted homemade. Balanced flavors combined with modern takes on traditional dishes. Gelato was the best we’ve ever had.”

“Had the most delicious sowrdfish and yellowtail bolognese at Alice. Highly recommend coming here, especially for the fish dishes and pastas! This restaurant is tucked away on 13th street in the bottom floor of a townhouse in between 6th and 7th ave.”

“Tucked beneath a historic brownstone, Alice feels like a hidden escape to coastal Italy — intimate, elegant, and full of charm. From the moment we arrived, the host welcomed us warmly and seated us right away, setting the tone for a wonderful night. The service was exceptional — Xaviera made the experience unforgettable, describing each dish with passion and care. The Bucatini al Limone was creamy, citrusy, and perfectly salted; the grilled octopus was tender and full of flavor; and the burrata with heirloom tomatoes was a refreshing start. It’s clear that Alice prides itself on excellent customer service — the laid-back, welcoming vibe and friendly staff truly make you feel like family. ✨ A cozy, flavorful, and heartfelt dining experience — a true hidden gem in NYC.”

“Valentines dinner had many hits! The oysters were amazing, had a nice salty buttery taste. The scallops were delicious with a tasty puree. Definitely the highlight of the courses. Tartare was a treat but the toasted bread was the star. Like was that brioche or what ?!! Last but not least the cake. Omg it was so rich, decedent and sweet. Best cake I’ve had a restaurant. My entree was the short beef rib. It was so tender. Omg ! The glazed carrots were perfect. This restaurant is a lovely vibe. The enclosed space is cool, although it’s basically outside. It was so warm and comforting, even with other guests coming and going. There was no wait for our reservation. Our appetizers came out within minutes of placing our orders. The entrees did take a while, seemed like some confusion coming from the kitchen. When the entrees came they were hot & tasty. Our server was full of personality, charming and friendly. Overall it was a lovely dinner.”
