- Sam PezzulloJanuary 31, 2014One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in Manhattan. Great atmosphere, the perfect combination of rustic and modern. The food is exceptional. My favorites are the buratta and the skate.
- Meg FarmerDecember 18, 2016Cozy & romantic atmosphere, you're transported to Italy when you walk in. Razor claims and polenta are delicious starters, even the bread is served w/ fresh ricotta. Venison cut was very tasty.
- JaimApril 6, 2015Amazing razor clams. Rabbit is served once a week (literally one rabbit a week), and we got lucky. But it was tough. The mushrooms, pearl onions, fava beans and arugula it sat on top of, was amazing.
- amanda brookeJanuary 27, 2018lobster risotto is a MUST. octopus was incredible, not spicy at all. gnocchi with black truffle was decent. pizza margarita was also good. will definitely be back. service was great and A+ atmosphere!
- AbbyOctober 10, 2016sat in the cellar with a group of eight - food, wine, service and ambiance were all perfect.👌will definitely be back to check out the upstairs dining room one cold winter night.
- Kevin NgApril 24, 2015Beautiful space and intimate. Wait for your table with a glass of wine and free olives by the seating at the front. There's also a smaller, cosier space downstairs.
- Jason SuDecember 3, 2017The pizzas are delicious and the rabbit lasagna was tasty too. Would definitely come back again to try more of the menu.
- Melissa ChaiAugust 8, 2017Ambiance is the perfectly rustic yet refined. Perfect for dinner with your bae or a special night with friends. The squid ink risotto I had was out of this world
- Elizabeth BursteinSeptember 8, 2022Great vibes - had the chicken - good but a tad dry, squash, cantiva wine, and brady had the pesto lamb pasta. Beautiful ambiance. Loved the wine.
- Marisa FrancoJune 12, 2014Peasant made me feel like I stepped out of NYC into a little rustic Italian town. With the wood oven in the back cooking all your dishes, to the exposed brick this is a place to dine and enjoy.
- Sophie CrumpOctober 27, 2016Incredible Italian food and service. The fresh bread and oil to begin with was beautiful. The burrata starter was fantastic and the white chocolate bread and butter pudding is out of this world!!
- Caroline SchulweisApril 4, 2014The ambiance was truly amazing if you are looking for a rustic, chic Italian spot. Loved the service. Their specialty is anything cooked in their specialty oven. Bream fish was good and light.
- Amber MollerSeptember 12, 2014Great dining experience despite the attitude of our server. Just because we're young doesn't mean we don't know how to tip...we're very aware Rocco. Amazing ambiance & the ricotta/bread served is 👌
- FINVOGUEAugust 26, 2016Great place for entertaining clients. My guests snapped photos of the roasting suckling pig immediately. I would go early (~6 pm) for business meetings as it got quite loud as the evening progressed.
- Varun ShettyApril 12, 2014Pro-tip: if the restaurant is packed, walk outside and down the stairs on the left to give their cellar a try. Same menu and first-come, first-served.
- Vivian LeeJanuary 15, 2015Get the spaghettini with sea urchin, so tasty! Loved the razor clams as well, and bread with ricotta and olive oil is awesome!
- Michael HMarch 5, 2017Most amazing meal I've had in a long time in the city. From the wine to the appetizers to dessert, everything was delectable. Everyone should dine here once.
- EaterJanuary 7, 2014The wood-fired lamb and the gnocchi with morels are perennial favorites. Note: Peasant is best enjoyed in the fall and winter months. [Eater 38 Member]
- Mariuxi TapiaFebruary 22, 2017So authentic! ❤ the ricotta spread with the bread- amazing! The popular pork dish wasn't as good as expected. The black truffle gnocchi was creamy and not a strong truffle smell or taste.
- Roger SchonfeldNovember 5, 2013Burrata appetizer with roasted tomatoes was delicious. Lamb ragu was also tasty with lamb flavor albeit little visible lamb. A thoughtful selection of wines and a pleasant bar.
- So amazing. Octopus and gnocchi out of this world mind blowing amazing. Everything was better than the next.
- Wilson ZhouApril 12, 2016Fittingly, rustic dishes are best: Choose shimmery sardines; sizzling, golden-skinned hen; or pleasant suckling pig liver, all pulled from the wood-burning oven. -TimeOut
- Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Unreal service. They know every dish and wine incredibly well. Can't go wrong with anything, but the uni spagettini is heavenly.
- EvieJanuary 10, 2014Perfectly cozy for New York winter. The bocconcini was excellent. And the Fettucine al Ragu Vittero was one of the best pastas I've ever eaten.
- Frank EspositoSeptember 4, 2014Razor clams are awesome. Burrata is amazing. Spaghetti con vongole is perfect and spicy. Just order anything, you won't regret it.
- Vanessa VelasquezApril 7, 2012Go downstairs Friday nights! Joel and Mauricio run the show down there. They serve delicious Italian dishes, well priced wines by the glass, and carafes. Get the white pizza!!
- ShellyMarch 15, 2019Pizza crusts are impeccably delicious, octopus spicy and memorable. Gorgeous rustic environment takes you right to Tuscany.
- ivy♥May 23, 2011Seafood lovers, you've gotta get the Acciuga E Radice. The cuttlefish is well-cooked and a lil crunchy! Then, get the spaghetti con scampi for your entree. The shrimps are decent!!
- İpek A.January 31, 2015Delicous italian restaurant. Gnocchi was great & also their pizzas are amazing!
- Lili BazNovember 18, 2022Great cozy rustic Italian vibe and amazing food.The Rosette was my favorite. It’s super rich, but delicious!
- StefanieDecember 16, 2015Wow, how had I never been here before. Large space for NYC -- lots of vegetable-focused dishes. Loved the lasagne!
- Zu SbMarch 31, 2015Everything is fantastic! Seriously! Octopus, pizza speck, raza con capers, lasagna, stake, panna cotta, bread pudding ❤️
- Monica CullenFebruary 12, 2016Some of their main entrees do not come with sides...I had the Orata and tried my BF's Suckling Pig head. Delicious!
- Bill BiancoFebruary 14, 2013The venison was awesome, not gamey at all. Limited bar, for my likes.. Couldn't make certain cocktails. Good aperitivo/digestivo selections. Nice wine list. This is where they make a killing.
- Lindsey GarrettApril 28, 2014Risotto with asparagus was twice as delicious and twice the size of everyone's dish.
- emily chenFebruary 15, 2014cutest most intimate restaurant but for some reason the bathroom door doesn't close so it gets even more intimate than you ever expected.
- Katy ThomasSeptember 7, 2012Loved everything...smells amazing when you walk in from wood-burning ovens. Octopus - amazing an spicy. Ask for Dinosaur as your waitress :)
- Greg TakayamaMarch 29, 2012Offally good! Peasant has a ton of offal. Get the pigs head if they have it as a special.
- Annie TolochinskiApril 27, 2018Beautiful and romantic setting. Relatively low prices for the one by the glass
- Reasonably priced wine by the glass. You can drink downstairs in a beautifully designed space.
- Chrissy CooganMarch 28, 2015If you're "adventurous" and there early, order the suckling pig head. Eat whatever you can stick a fork in and you won't regret it
- Maddy LachmannJanuary 3, 2015Also the fresh ricotta they serve with bread is magical. And the spicy octopus- hate spicy food, LOVED this.
- Jeff LinderApril 1, 2016Few restaurants remain as consistently reliable for so many years as Peasant. Food, wine and service are terrific.
- Wine bar downstairs is cozy and just for walk-ins! Same menu and wine list as upstairs.
