Little Ruby's East Village

Dined inside. Ate spicy sausage and cream chicken. The pasta themselves are a bit harder in texture when chewing compared to what I expected. Overall, delicious and felt satisfying. The atmosphere was noisy with loud music. Cool vibe with the tropical colors around.It was easy to find parking lot on Sunday. There are plenty of seats outside for warmer days. I would like to try breakfast burrito next time.

Really enjoyed the big breakfast. The quality of the food was simply exceptional. While all of the food was great, the sourdough toast was particularly noteworthy in how good it was. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how noisy it can get inside, particularly since everyone is seated in such close proximity to each other. In addition, because it's an open kitchen connected to the dining area, you will leave the restaurant smelling like food unless you sit outside.

This is one of my favorite spots in the East Village. If you’re from New York, you know how difficult it is to walk into a restaurant without a reservation. Little Ruby’s has never turned me and my friends away, and the staff is always extremely attentive and energetic. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, but my ultimate favorite is the pesto pasta that our waitress Avery recommended. Of course, I had to order french fries on the side!

Ate spicy penne vodka with crispy chicken & banana bread. Banana bread taste great with the butter. The pasta was good but crispy chicken tasted unseasoned. Overall good service & would go again

Recommend as a date spot by my boyfriend’s 15 year old sister who went there with her boyfriend and said the pasta was amazing and it was very affordable. Did not disappoint!! I’m vegetarian and I ordered the chicken pasta without chicken. It’s safe to say I got my pasta fix. One thing my boyfriend and I really appreciated was the smaller portion size, as we were both able to finish our meals without feeling stuffed or needing a box for a small/awkward amount of food. Drinks were good and creative and service was quick for a Friday night. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a classy date night spot in manhattan but don’t want to break the bank!

First time at this location and food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing. But our server Camille was the highlight of dinner. So personable, attentive and made dinner feel like we were dining at a friend’s place (: Bit of strange timing from the kitchen as one of our entrees came out with the appetizers, and the other two entrees came out almost 60 minutes later. Camille noticed this immediately and did everything to make up for the kitchen’s timing. Oddly, they rotated employees and we had 2 new servers during the last half hour of our meal which was confusing and disjointed. This weird switch up and the hour between entrees are definitely points for improvement. But end of the day, the employees, especially Camille made it such a good night that we’ll be returning despite the operations mishaps.

This was a great unexpected brunch. The food was great and the service was amazing. All servers kept checking in on us and making recommendations. No one seemed bothered at how long we sat there. We were talking, eating and drinking for about 5-6 hours. Such a great time. You must try the fries and the aioli. Amazing!

Was able to walk in and get a table for 1 around 1:30 pm on the weekend! The patio seating was covered and just warm enough to be enjoyable! The brussel sprouts were the star of the show for me !! But I did like the cheeseburger and fries too. The secret sauce was yummmm. I got an extra side of it to dip the fries in, no regrets.
