What People Are Saying
from Google"ORDER THE SPICY RIGATONI!! Came here for an engagement party in the wine cellar under the restaurant. Unfortunately they don’t have good hearters and it was 15 degrees outside so we were a bit freezing near the door, but other than that the space is truly incredible. So nicely decorated and great vibes. Service was phenomenal. Food was decent but one dish was spectacular - the spicy rigatoni was the best I’ve ever had. Far better than Carbone’s. Idk what they did with that but they need to be pumping that dish out cause it is absolutely incredible. I probably wouldn’t have left a review but just needed the world to know."
"Came here for a farewell dinner and had a great experience from start to finish. Food was great, especially with the large format meats. Sommelier provides good recommendations for wines. Service is top notch and you feel well taken care of. Overall a strong recommendation for group dinners!"
"Peasant is one of those rare restaurants that reminds you how magical simplicity can be when every detail is done right. From start to finish, the experience feels both rustic and elevated. The hamachi crudo sets the tone beautifully: impossibly fresh fish, sliced just right, kissed with citrus and a hint of heat that makes every bite bright and refreshing. It’s elegant but unpretentious. Then there’s the bone marrow toast, which might just be the ultimate indulgence. The marrow is rich, silky, and deeply savory, melting into the crisp toast in the most satisfying way. And of course, the rigatoni with spicy vodka sauce is nothing short of incredible (definitely challenges Carbones). The pasta itself is tender and perfectly chewy, holding onto the sauce the way only truly great pasta can. The vodka sauce walks that fine line between creamy and fiery. Peasant doesn’t just serve excellent food; it offers an experience that feels deeply satisfying and genuine. Every dish tells a story of craft and care, and every bite makes you want to come back for more. Special shout out to our waiter Derek who was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our entire dinner. Can’t wait to come back!"
"From the moment you walk in to the moment you step out, everything is a wonderful experience. The team, the food, and the ambiance will have you planning your next visit. The only “complaint”, and that’s an exaggeration, was that the calamari al forno wasn’t our fave. It wasn’t bad but the other plates just blew it out of the water The honey nut squash was heavenly and velvety The specials of oxtail and bone marrow were delectable and the rabbit pasta with truffle had my tastebuds dancing"
"Overall food was okay. The portions were rather small for the price and most of the dishes we got were under-seasoned. The wine was the best part of the meal. From the beans to the pasta everything needed a little more salt. Service was a little slow, however the atmosphere of these restaurant was nice both in and outside."
