Bird Dog

Anthony was very good at recommending good dishes for us. He was very nice and sweet. The Doritos were really good. We did the tasting menu which was a good deal to try different dishes. The fried chicken is really good too. The inside is really cute. We sat at the bar. Make sure if you want happy hour that you walk in instead of making a reservation on an app.

Amazing flavors! Honestly so underrated, food was amazing. Good variety, had to take away the food because the food was so good and the portion was huge!! Must come and will come back again!

Oh. My. GUT!!! Half-price happy hour pasta???!!! Yassssss!!! From best to less best (but still awesome), get the Spaghetti (colatura, clams, seabeans, garlic, breadcrumbs), the Mafaldine (red wine brisket rib ragu, parmigiana chive), and the Papparedelle (mushrooms, crème fraiche, parmigiana, lemon). But seriously, all were chewy, tasty and loaded with comforting flavor, and trying to rank them was like choosing between my favorite children. Just come here and gorge. Pro tip: If you can make it before 5:30pm on a weeknight, you're unlikely to wait for a table. After that, good luck.

This place was so cute! Service was amazing and our server was so understanding of allergies! The food was outstanding. Get the clam spaghetti thing it was so yummmyyyyyt. Def coming here again for the half price pasta. 1000% worth it.

cutest pasta nook ever; we ordered the sweet potato ravioli and the mafaldine with short rib. the pastas were perfectly tender, not too soft, perfect portion sizes. we did also order the hush puppies (not pictured) and the honey butter was super yum. we’re really glad we came by, thank you chris! 🐊🫶

An absolutely incredible experience and a must try if you’re in Manhattan. You don’t have to break the bank you can go for a pasta happy hour that’s right! It is mainly a wine bar, but they have some great options! Sort it out with their homemade in the house, Doritos, so good also a very addictive, beet salad, hush puppies, an incredible value for the chefs tasting. We had two types of pasta one was seafood based and one was pork, absolutely unreal! To end it all we had their famous chicken so good I highly recommend !

Food, service and atmosphere were amazing. We got the fried chicken, the collard greens salad and lots of other amazing sides. Every was good here…really no bad choices.

The bad reviews here are probably from people that didn’t understand how the menu works. We had a late res on a Thursday night and the restaurant was all to ourselves which was amazing. Service was top notch , the host was super accommodating of us having to change the time and gave us such a nice coursed experience All the courses were delish , I really only wish I got a lighter pasta to enjoy the chicken more which was literally one of the best fried chickens ever. You also get SO much food for the prefix I couldn’t even finish it all and the waiter kindly packed up everything nicely for us. I thought it was definitely reasonably priced for the amount of food / quality that you are getting! Would return for pasta happy hour and for another prefixe to try seasonal items ! They also can accommodate different dietary restrictions well! Ambiance is really nice and cozy , perfect spot for a date night.

Amazing food and service! A group Of 8 of us were in town for a wedding. We ordered the tasting menu! Incredible food...:corn and shrimp salad, 6 appetizers, The pasta course was incredible. Followed by the three amazing entrees! Anthony took amazing care of us! Fantastic night! Bird Dog is a 10/10! A must go in NYC!

Interesting concept for a restaurant (all the dishes are shareable and you either have to order 3 dishes per person for $69pp or the tasting menu for $98pp). Ambiance is quite eclectic as they said a lot of their supplies are sourced from thrift or vintage stores. Gave a homey feel to the restaurant. Hospitality was a mixed bag. The host was dealing with a conflict when we walked in and didn't even say hello to us when we introduced ourselves. Kind of just ignored us and walked us silently to our table. Food was solid but you can get better for the amount of money you'll spend. Pastas were my favorite but overall some dishes were too salty while others lacked flavor.

Come here if you'd like to experience a casual dose of racism buttered with a series of microaggressions. I've been a west village resident for 3+ years now and so wanted to check out this spot. Everything was awful. Super disappointed with the lack of hospitality and service. I am a brown woman and came here with my black friend. We had a dinner reservation and the staff couldn't seat us in the dining room, they instead, placed us in the cafe. It was my friend's birthday so we inquired about the seating and the staff coldly told us the dining room was for reservations only -- even though we had a reservation. After making a few requests, they reluctantly put us in the dining room and rushed us out within an hour. It was dehumanizing and incredibly disgusting. Also everyone seated in the dining room was white as wonder bread so go figure. The food was also not great. The fried chicken had no seasoning whatsoever. My friend took our leftovers home and had to rebake them with actual southern spices.

Came here for the pasta happy hour and definitely recommend. The appetizers and pasta were delicious with the pasta being cooked perfectly. Would have given 5 stars but the space is so cramped it's difficult to get in and out of the tables. Thankfully there was no one next to us and we were able to physically move the table over but if it was busier we would have been stuck.

Been meaning to try this restaurant for awhile. Glad I made it! The restaurant is a small place in a nice quaint area of the West Village. Our Waiter Anthony was so nice and friendly. He helped my friend and I out with figuring out the menu as it was our first time at the restaurant. We missed the happy hour and opted for the prix fixe dinner - 3 courses for $55. Also for the bottle of wine where it's $40 for the month of August. We ordered the following dishes, all were very good and we were so full we had to take some home: - buratta - burnt ends - parpadelle - agnolotti - fried chicken - ribs Would love to come back here and try out their pasta happy hour next time!

I'd rate Bird Dog four and a half stars. We snuck into Bird Dog on a Saturday night just in time for the early bird special. Fortunately, we were able to score two seats at their three person bar counter. Sitting at the bar, I immediately noticed some nice options for wines by the glass. They have an approachable yet intriguing list of wines by the bottle too. Bird Dog is a unique fusion of Southern American and Italian cuisines. My wife was set on the pastas for entrees, so I figured we'd give the southern portion a shot for appetizer. We shared the hush puppies. They came out piping hot, so I cut the first couple in half to cool off. When cutting in, I noticed a thin yet ultra crispy batter. It had a great crunch biting into it. They were served with honey butter which I believe might also be used with the chicken sandwich a couple doors down. The honey butter is ultra savory and the hush puppies allow the butter to standout. For the main course, we seized the opportunity to enjoy the half priced pastas. My favorite and the highlight of the meal was the papardelle in a short rib ragu. It's one of the best dishes I've eaten this month. It's a must order here. The short rib is ultra succulent featuring some big meaty portions. The sauce is bold and delicious. It has the Sunday gravy depth to it. The sauce would be wonderful on anything, so the bowl of fresh made pappardelle was a more the sufficient vehicle for the sauce. We also had the agnolotti filled with ricotta in a honey sauce. Usually Italian food feels like it costs an arm and two legs in the West Village these days, but the happy hour promotion made it very budget friendly. Our meal came out to about $45 for an appetizer and two pastas before factoring in tip. The service was attentive. Staff was consistently floating around in case we needed anything. Our water was consistently topped off. Felt like a good culture too as the staff was engaging and their personalities came through. Pacing of the food was on point. There was one spacious, gender neutral restroom. The restaurant was on the smaller side but they managed to cram in about fifteenth seats making it an intimate experience.

I have wanted to try the pasta happy hour for a while and finally did it on a Sunday; well worth it! I was surprised that there was no one there, happy hour is only outside. They have pasta happy hour everyday and it's half off all their pastas. We ordered the mafaldine and cavetelli pasta, both were so good! For the price, it was a really good deal. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the flavors were delicious. This is definitely a new favorite spot and will be returning for pasta happy hour!

My partner and I got off of work earlier than usual and chose to finally try the Bird Dog pasta happy hour, as we had been hearing lots of good things about their pasta. We showed up and luckily had a very short wait (I think the area was less busy due to the holiday week), and were seated in the outdoor area within 10 minutes. One thing to note, happy hour is only in the outdoor area, but there are plenty of heaters and fans that keep it temperate. Service and staff were friendly. We put in an order only for the happy hour pastas, which to be frank, were still pretty expensive for what we ended up getting. The garlic scampi spaghetti had very little shrimp on it (I think I only had a couple small chunks of shrimp in a few of my bites), though the flavor was solid. The stuffed shells themselves were pretty good, but the vodka sauce for me was a miss. For those two pastas alone, it came out to $50 without tip, which feels steep for what we actually received. While it was a fun experience, I don't see us returning, unfortunately.

Phenomenal experience. The person serving us name was Chris and he is the brother of the chef or the owner. He's absolutely great, helped. Recommend some great options for us to eat. We had the Cacho Pepe sauce, spaghetti, and the Buccarini and the pumpkin pasta. We also have the Nashville chicken. Everything was great. Will come back!

What a fun vibe ! It's tiny inside but solid service, food and decor. It's southern. It's Italian. It's a weird mix of both but kinda works. The prixe fix let's you pick any three food items. Any THREE?!?!?! You could do three entrees, three pastas, hell you could do three friend chickens if you wanted. I love the optionality. We sat at the bar and the music playing was 2000s rock. Perfect. I thought the bucatini was my favorite - garlicky and perfectly cooked. I would skip hush puppies. And, gnocchi wasn't for me but I could see how peeps love it. Gotta get the fried chix. Always. This place is perfect for a date or with a group of friends!

Excellent pasta! We came for happy hour specifically and were lucky to get a table. It is very small with few tables inside. Unexpectedly, my personal favorite was the rigatoni. It was worth it to go during happy hour (half off pastas)!!

AMAZING pasta ! go for happy hour you won't be dissatisfied.. delicious flavors and great service

We came for the pasta happy hour and loved it! 10/10 would come back again to try the other pastas. It looks like they switch up the egg yolk with lemon pepper sauce between tagliatelle, bucatini, and spaghetti. When we went it was served with bucatini. It was the perfect balance of flavors. Mafaldine is one of my all time favorite pastas and they did it amazingly well with tender red wine short rib ragu. I'm still dreaming about it. I can't say enough good things about Bird Dog's pasta happy hour. Not only was the food and service wonderful, we only spent $54 between two. And we got hush puppies as an appetizer too!

This place is rave worthy. Every single bite of food was star worthy. And we genuinely enjoyed every interaction with the staff. They were personable, funny and gave great recommendations. All of this was only made better by the quirky but elevated atmosphere. I cannot wait to come back. I just hope we can get another reservation!

I'm a huge fan of fried chicken and heard great things about Bird Dog, so I was really excited to come and try some of the best fried chicken in New York. Welp, I wasn't really impressed by it - I've definitely had much jucier, flavorful fried chicken. It's good, but nothing too special, and leans on the much pricier side of dinner options. I will say though that the portion sizes are really large. The hush puppies were quite good, but I think honey butter tastes amazing on everything. The service was quite nice and the overall ambiance makes for a good dinner, but I wasn't really impressed by the food and that's what I largely base my reviews off of.

First meal on our short weekend trip to NYC. Came here on a Saturday 3pm for the pasta happy hour, and it was pretty empty. The restustaurant was small with only a few tables and the walls were decorated with cute dog paintings in Victorian clothing. The wings we ordered were flavorful and sweet with a hint of chili. My favorite pasta dish would be the Lumache with braised pork in a creme fraiche sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly while the braised pork just melts and it was full of flavor. The Agnolotti with bacon was tasty, the agnolotti was silk and chewy and worked greatly with the texture of the bacon bits. It is a bit pricey with half off happy hour, each dish came out to be over 20 dollars.

My friends and I have been sharing way too much food reels from IG and decided that it's time to go to New York for our foodies tour. One of them has been dying to try this place out so this was the first restaurant we visited on our trip. When we got there, we didn't know if it was open because there was a red rope to stop people from going in. Mind you, there was no line so we were kind of confused. A bit later, someone came out and asked for a phone number to enter us into the Resy app. Then she let us in like that of a bouncer at a club. Interesting concept for a restaurant that had no line. Upon entrance, we noticed that it was a super cozy space with the wall full of dogs in their Royal garbs. Very interesting and cute. It happens to also be Pasta Happy Hour where all pasta were half off! We were excited but the prices after half off wasn't that much less expensive though. It's fine, as long as it tastes good, it's worth the money, we tell ourselves. We ordered the wings for appetizer and three pastas: gnocchi, agnolotti, and lumache. The wings were a bit charred but my friend really loved it. The pastas were only decent. My favorite was the lumache but the rest was very not exciting. The service was friendly and the ambiance was unique. Foodwise, though the food looks aesthetically pleasing, I expected it to knock me off my socks but it didn't. There was only one pasta I half enjoyed.

Pasta happy hour is the happiest of hours. Half-priced pastas available from 4-6 pm, in the bright outdoor shack thing. I'm not quite sure why food happy hours are not more prevalent, but anyone reading this with the power to influence menus should get on that ASAP. Because we came in specifically for this happy hour, we ordered every single pasta (six on the menu, but we received seven and no one was sad about it) + fried chicken, and we drank a bottle of wine per person. And we tipped well. This is a moneymaker. Now, I wish I could tell you about each individual pasta in detail, but there were seven of them and again, lots of wine involved (and the online menu is different from the one we saw). Things I do know: 1. There wasn't a bad one in the bunch. 2. The mafaldini with the bolognese was excellent. 3. The one the waiter described as "garlic bread in pasta form" was *chef's kiss*. 4. The one he described "as if cacio e pepe and carbonara had a baby" was a quite good as well. 5. I generally liked the waiter's descriptions, and overall vibe. 6. The squid ink one was a touch too salty, even for me. 7. No one is sad during pasta happy hour. 8. These are not large bowls of pasta, and at half price they are much more reasonable than the full price. 9. I should have gone home after pasta, instead of going to the bar. That last one is probably irrelevant to you, but really would have helped me have a better day yesterday.

Wonderful ambience, delicious food, and lovely staff. We came in on a sat night and they found room for us. Staff was very helpful in making selections. Everything on the pre fix looked delicious. We had the ribs and the fried chicken. Both delicious! We had the tagliatelle and the malfaldine. My favorite was the malfaldine but my husbands favorite was the tagliatelle. So win-win!

I LOVED!!! Chef tasting menu $98 pp and you get 4 apps, 3 pastas, 2 meats and homemade Doritos (which taste exactly like Doritos)! Great opportunity to try something different in NYC && the staff is all so nice

Where to begin... wow. To start off, the servers noticed the Publix bag brought in and we immediately knew the food would be delicious as they discussed Pub Subs. We were introduced to our server Anthony, who was BEYOND fantastic. His energy was vivacious and table side presentation was flawless. Service was always open handed, including everyone else on the staff, and even the wine bottle orientation on the table presented the label for everyone at the table and restaurant to see. As for the food, we ordered the chef's tasting menu. Each course had a lovely surprise melding the flavors of southern cuisine with Italian influences. Given the generous portions, Anthony did a wonderful job guiding us through the dishes to ensure we could enjoy the entrees when we arrived at that course. The flavors were unique and each plating harmonized with the others on the table, balancing savory and buttery with spicy and punchy. No need to go in to too many details around the food because each plate was an experience in itself that needs to be tasted! Oh, and the wine pairing from Anthony managed to pair well with each course. The eclectic plates and silverware elicited feelings of a Southern grandmother's china. Lovely paintings of dogs adorned the walls with the overall ambiance complimenting the food presented. A night to remember and a delicious experience all around.

This place has incredible food, great staff, and overall great vibes. This is definitely a hidden gem located in the west village that I wish more people knew about. It is a bit small on the inside, but luckily they do have outdoor seating. This place focuses on creating Italian dishes with a southern twist to it. And they have a chef tasting menu which blew my friend and I away. We started off with their homemade Doritos, which were so good. I loved all of their pasta dishes, especially their tomato and strawberry preserve pasta, which I never thought would be something to add in a pasta, but it worked and the seafood pasta, which was so good and flavorful. And the staff was super friendly and very attentive, and explaining all of the dishes that we had. This is definitely a place you have to check out!

A last minute find that turned out to be perfect! The food and service were wonderful! Such a cute spot I'll definitely return.

During pasta happy hour, all the pastas (which are originally at least $30), are half off. The Campanelle pasta was good, with soft, chewy noodles and ground pork. The Gnocchi pasta had a well-made chicken soup, but it was slightly too salty. Overall, the food was tasty, but the portions were rather small. It is enjoyable to eat during happy hour, when there is a warm and friendly ambiance. Service was a bit slow, but it's understandable considering how busy they were during happy hour. We came here around 6pm on Tuesday, and the outdoor seating was almost full, so it's probably better to go right when happy hour begins.

I made a reservation for two a couple days prior for a Saturday evening at around 7:30pm. Unfortunately, my friend and I couldn't meet up for their happy hour pasta menu that runs until 6pm. The restaurant was very cozy with the walls covered with paintings of dogs. Our options were a three course Vs tasting menu Vs fried chicken dinner. We opted for the three course menu for 75 per person. We liked the apps of the Brussels and burrata. The pastas were good too. We chose the rigatoni and a really garlicky spaghetti. The fried chicken was delicious but the SNAPPER was average doused with heavy tomato sauce. I was surprised by how big the fish bones were and how many there were. Also, the person who dropped off our entrees didn't tell us to be wary of the fishbones, which I overheard when he told the nearby table. I'm not sure if 75 dollars was worth it for the three courses that we got. Also I felt that the service was different depending on the make-up of the table. I could've really swallowed a large piece of fish bone prompting an urgent endoscopy. I would give this place more a 3.5. But the pastas were unique enough for me to come again to try out their happy hour menu.

I actually came here because of a viral Instagram reel promoting their happy hour pasta specials from 2-6pm on weekends and 4-6pm on weekdays. I ordered the cavatelli, while my friend opted for the bucatini. We also decided to try the burrata, which we both loved. The only drawback of the happy hour was that we had to sit outside, and I unfortunately had to sit near the open door, which kept slamming due to the wind. It was quite loud. However, it was necessary for safety reasons. The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions about the menu. The restroom was charming, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area is warm thanks to heaters, and overall, my friend and I had a fantastic time.

Good idea/concept the food hits but not all the way and the price yikes**** if you don't go for the "pasta happy hour" the pasta plate (see pic) is 35-48 ... the pasta it self is good but you can find good pasta for less in that neighborhood Also no cocktails :( only wine and beer Decor is super fun/quirky, go to the bathroom for a fun pic ...but the space is tiny we ended up eating outside The place is dog friendly so if that bothers you plan ahead I do recommend for an early dinner with friends but not a place I will visit often The arancini were good but only 3 balls/croquettes Good service Staff was nice and efficient and the manager and/or owner was friendly

Overall the meal was okay, I felt like it lacked flavor in some of the dishes and then in some other ones full of flavor and really delicious. The service was on point, we sat at the bar and got immediate service as soon as we were sat. Paired our wines even down to the meals we selected for a full experience. The overall feel of the place is definitely Italy inspired with notes of flair lol The bathroom was pretty funny. But I will say it's a SMALL restaurant, so come with the bare minimum and your wallets of course lol I'd go back to definitely try other items on the menu!

My sister and I came here around 4:30pm on a Saturday for the pasta happy hour. This restaurant is so cute, loved the decorations outside and inside! Happy hour is only outdoor seating but there were plenty of tables when we arrived - no wait. We started with some wine, it was $15 for house red/white and they were veryyy generous pours. We ordered 3 pastas to split between us and it was actually incredible. We ordered the bucatini, garganelli, and the spaghetti.My favorite of the 3 we ordered was bucatini with the breadcrumbs while my sister loved the spaghetti with lemon. You can tell the pasta is handmade and very fresh. The seating area outside was relatively quiet and comfortable. The service was great and they kept my water glass full. I would highly recommend this place for a late lunch early dinner.

Pasta happy hour is definitely my type of happy hour! I saw this place on instagram and I was really excited to have an early dinner here. For happy hour, they don't take reservations. There surprisingly wasn't a wait and we were seated shortly. The outdoor seating area is very cute and surprisingly private. When we passed by we didn't even notice the outdoor seating area. We ordered the bucatini and blue crab linguini. The bucatini was my favorite of the two. I'm not usually a fan of cream sauces, but the sauce wasn't overwhelming. The texture of the pasta was great but I do wish there was a little more meat. The blue crab linguini unfortunately fell short of my expectations. There was a lot of crab meat, but the sauce honestly just tasted like chili oil. By the time I had mostly finished the pasta, I couldn't even gather the remaining bits of crab because it just felt like I was eating spoonfuls of chili oil. I probably would have enjoyed this dish more if there was a different sauce, but everyone's palate is a little different! The happy hour is a great deal, but still a little more on the expensive side for the portion size. Otherwise the ambiance was nice and the customer service was excellent.

Overall I thought this a delicious meal! My friends and I decided to do the Chef's Table option and it did not disappoint! The service was great and we really enjoyed the pacing in which our food came out. They were super accommodating to the fact that one of friends couldn't make it and didn't charge us for their absence. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because as a collective we didn't enjoy the pumpkin sage pasta, apple crumble dessert, or the pasta dish with corn. Other than that it was a great experience and I will return!

Incredible experience. We did the Chef's Tasting Menu and the choices were exquisite. Really enjoyed every single dish. The service was excellent at each step, with expert guidance and responsiveness. Really worthwhile choice and will be back for the first

Finally half priced pasta happy hour nirvana! House made pastas bring an incredible creativity to this Italian & Southern mashup. Not only does it work it's masterful. Ate: Bucatini Biscuits Branzino Total $50 with tip The bucatini with chanterelles, pancetta & vin santo was scrumptious. Pasta perfection & finger licking delicious. Biscuits were Parker house roll meets biscuits- one of the best I've tasted anywhere including the south & rounding out with a delicious Branzino. This spot is creatively kooky, their food aesthetic is incredible!!! PS Bord Dog & Pastai in Chelsea make some of the best pasta in town. PSS I was in such a food moment I forgot the picture of my pasta- next time.

I found you on TikTok the food was soooo good. I definetly will be back n tell others about this restaurant.

You get SO much food for the pre fixe I could've rolled down the street even with so many leftovers. All of the food was thoughtfully curated to provide a mix of southern comfort and Italian. Every dish was so uniquely flavorful and there isn't one thing I got that I would've skipped. The quality of all ingredients really showed through, and there were so many gluten free options I could get nearly everything on the menu. The walls were covered in royal paintings of dogs of their customers. The staff was beyond sweet and accommodating. One of the best full meals I've had in a while. +5 XP bc they call it pork roll

This place was so fun! It is not ala carte unless you go to pasta happy hour, so when you make a reservation, you're committing to a three-course prix-fix meal at least. Which sounds good in theory, but just plan accordingly and come hungry! We had to take a lot of food home because we did not. The pasta is incredible (homemade with innovative takes on classic sauces), and the entrees were delicious as well. They offer a mix of Italian and Southern Comfort food, which doesn't sound like a combo that works, but it truly does. The staff is incredibly kind and makes sure you have a good time. Truly fantastic!

I do not write reviews. This place is insane. Best pasta I've had in New York so far bar none. Show up. Arrive.

I was super excited to come here because it is super hyped up - but I was quite disappointed. To start off, despite showing up to our reservation they charged a $190 no-show fee which took WEEKS to be refunded. The food - this is tough, because we really really liked some of the dishes, but really did not like others. The biscuits, hush puppies, and pork belly were all GREAT. The pastas were hit or miss - the garlic pasta and ragu were good, but no one was a fan of the pumpkin pasta or the lamb pasta. The fried chicken was good, but the ribs just didn't taste like southern BBQ. The ambiance and vibes were so cool - really wish we liked the food more.

Did the three course pre fixe menu and it was awesome. The bucatini was definitely my favorite course of the night followed closely by the fried chicken. There were a few things I probably wouldn't get again, but overall everything was great. Inside the restaurant is very small and intimate, so you definitely need a reservation if your want a table inside. The servers were super helpful about the menu and made the experience even better. Definitely a new favorite in the neighborhood

My roommate heard about pasta happy hour here and we decided to come on a Sunday around 5! There was no wait and we were seated quickly outside. The decor and vibe of the whole place was so cute and service was great too. We ordered the biscuits to share, which were delicious with the honey butter. We also were debating between the hush puppies and burrata but I am so glad we went with the biscuits!! Sadly, I was really disappointed by my rigatoni. The pasta felt severely undercooked and was quite bland. The orange zest and nuts were a nice touch, but the cheese was not flavorful and the dish fell flat for me. My roommates lumache was much much better! The sauce was creamy and delicious, but the pasta still felt a bit undercooked. Based on other reviews, it seems like I may have just ordered the wrong pasta. I would recommend checking out the happy hour because of the good price, but skip on the rigatoni.

Food and service was amazing! Came for dinner with a group of friends and got to try so many different plates. All delicious!

Came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our one year anniversary and it was the perfect low key special meal. This place advertises as Italian with a southern drawl and it's exactly that. There are 3 menu options: $55 fried chicken dinner, $65 3 course pre-fixe (1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 entree but our waiter who also happened to be the owner told us we could pick any 3 things on the menu), $110 chef's tasting menu. We opted for the $65 pre-fixe and did 1 appetizer, 1 pasta, 1 entree which left us pretty full! Appetizers: hush puppies - MUST GET. They're perfectly crispy on the outside and easy to break off into the fluffy inside. I think there's chive inside which perfectly complements the honey butter. One serving comes with 5 but I could have eaten another order myself. Duo of dips - also delicious although not as mind blowing as the hush puppies. We liked the whitefish salad better but the pimento was a close second. Pastas: Cavatelli with lamb shank - this was our favorite dish overall. The lamb was so tender and saffron added the perfect flavor to the dish. Lumache with pork shoulder - also delicious with generous chunks of pork. Entrees: Nashville fried chicken - one tender piece of juicy chicken on white bread and some pickles. I would have preferred it spicier but it was a good level for those with a lower spice tolerance. Chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside so no complaints. Wagyu skirt steak - I couldn't tell that it was wagyu vs. other skirt steak since it was a pretty standard skirt steak but the black garlic butter added a unique flavor to it. It's a very intimate restaurant that seats less than 20 people so would highly recommend a reservation. Overall, a delicious place to go when you're craving southern food and pasta!

Amazing blends of cuisine- pastas are a standout but everything was deeeelicious. Service was also outstanding.

I hadn't had a good chicken waffle in a while until coming here. The pecan waffle with hot honey, perfectly crispy chicken was so tasty. Love the dog picture decor in the dining room, so quirky and cute. My husband and I also tried the mac rib sandwich but the charsiu style bbq was very tender. The arancini with pea purée and carrot with parmigiana were the perfect bites. Hush puppies were so good! They have a bit of scallion inside (not a scallion fan) fyi. The Mac and cheese that came with the sandwich was ok, and Calabrian chili chicken wings were a bit overdone but other than that, can't wait to be back to try the pastas on the menu.

This place is teeny tiny but has very good pasta. I went with a friend and we both got the prie fix dinner so six menus items all together. We got two starters, three pastas and then a meat course. No complaints with the service, everyone was very friendly. The watermelon salad thingy was delicious

Amazing experience! Our waiter was also in charge of the wine list and was incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel so special, and the service was wonderful. The food was delicious! Would definitely come back.

I want to gatekeep this place so badly- it's delicious and the ambiance is so lovely! Menu changes for each season - but the must haves this season, include the chicken n dumpling gnocchi, and the pork belly!! It literally melts in your mouth Anthony is the sweetest and gives incredible wine pairing recs Also pasta HAPPY HOUR????? The best. 10/10 if you're looking for a quiet but very hip&trendy spot

I was here earlier in the evening with three others at this new restaurant. They're already getting popular and it's easy to see why. The food here is unique being a mix of Southern and Italian though I would say that the Italian side of the menu is stronger. The inside here is tiny and adorned on both sides with photoshopped dogs of the owners and the owners' friends/family on one side and customers on the other side which adds to the kooky nature and there is very friendly knowledgeable service as well though they probably should have informed us that there wasn't really a need to order biscuits as they were already getting it with their fried chicken. Overall the food was very tasty outside of one of the desserts and I would try to go back. Two of us went with the prix fixe option while the other two got the fried chicken dinner. As they don't have alcohol, I also ordered a ginger ale and they only have to have ginger beer which is actually a preference and the price as per just about everything else for the drink was reasonable. First course/Soil & Cupboard: Burrata- Apricot mostarda, asparagus, and pistachio I was planning on ordering the bagna cauda from the online menu but said menu is inaccurate unlike the Yelp menu which is a bit different than usual but I didn't mind as I'm a big fan of burrata. The burrata was excellent and it went well with the mostarda as well as the vegetables/pistachio. Would recommend. Chicken wings- Calabrian chili honey (5$ supplement) The chicken wings were quite big and the chili honey went well with it. I would also recommend even with a supplement charge. Hushpuppies- Honey butter Perfectly fine with the good honey butter but the others were better 2nd course/Mill: Bucatini with Calabrian pork sugo, tomatoes, serrano pepper, and parmigiana I had this as my main and this was easily in my favorite dish. The bucatini was perfectly cooked al dente and the pork sugo/tomatoes added a wonderful depth of flavor. There was a nice hint of chili from the serrano pepper and overall in an area of the West Village with a ton of famous pasta places, this competes tooth and nail with them. Rigatoni- "Grano arso" lamb sausage, braised greens, ricotta, and pickled chilies The other person had this. The rigatoni was tasty with a unique almost purposely burnt color from the way they prepared it which produced a different but very tasty texture. The lamb sausage was good and the ricotta went well also. I didn't get to try the braised greens from the little I had and overall it was also very good. I hope they start to offer this pasta separately as with the other one as I would go back and order this in a heartbeat. 3rd course/Field & Pasture (as well as their main) Nashville style Fried chicken- White bread, pickles This was perfectly fine. The fried chicken had a nice crunch with a very moist texture inside and the use of I believe Calabrian chilies (again) added a little bit of a twist to the usual Nashville style. My only complaints is that I prefer a spicier Nashville style fried chicken though this is perhaps I am much more used to spicier chicken from other countries and that the bread was oddly a little bit hard and there wasn't enough pickles either. Having three small slices for a few reasonably sized pieces is probably not enough but it's hard to complain after having so much food prior. I would try the lamb or fish next time probably. Fried chicken dinner- One appetizer (from soil,) half fried chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes, sauces Didn't try the fried chicken though it looked a little bit different than ours. I believe I heard that the one for the dinner is brined longer but I might be mistaken. The biscuits were good which were humorously topped with some everything bagel spice and the mashed potatoes are fine with a very thick gravy and very rich mashed potatoes. For dessert, I shared the sticky toffee pudding with someone, someone else got the pudding as well, and the last person got the PB&J panna cotta. They also were selling a chocolate cake for some reason from Ovenly next door. Unfortunately the sticky toffee pudding was the only real flub. It was quite hard which was very surprising. The sauce on the bottom was tasty but a little bit thick also. I'm unsure if it was overcooked as this was the same on both portions but I really wouldn't call it a sticky toffee pudding. The panna cotta on the other hand was much better with a good mix of flavors and I would order latter instead next time. Outside of the dessert flub, I really don't have many complaints for this place. At this point I would stick with the Italian food on the menu but this might also be because I prefer really good pasta over fried chicken at least when homemade pasta is this tasty. Mid 4. I hope they do well
