Peasant

One 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 .

Cozy & 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.

Amazing 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.

lobster 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!

sat 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.

Ambiance 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

The pizzas are delicious and the rabbit lasagna was tasty too. Would definitely come back again to try more of the menu.

Beautiful 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.

Great vibes - had the chicken - good but a tad dry, squash , cantiva wine , and brady had the pesto lamb pasta . Beautiful ambiance. Loved the wine .

Peasant 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.

The 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.

Incredible 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!!

Most 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.

The 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]

So 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.

Burrata 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 .

Great 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 ????

Get the spaghettini with sea urchin , so tasty! Loved the razor clams as well , and bread with ricotta and olive oil is awesome!

So amazing. Octopus and gnocchi out of this world mind blowing amazing. Everything was better than the next.

Great 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.

Go for a drink before dinner , grab a table in the window and a glass of Lambrusco. It's one of the best Lambruscos I've found in the city .

If you haven't dined at this Elizabeth Street charmer in a while, it's time for a revisit. The wood-fired lamb and the gnocchi with morels are perennial favorites. Read more

Pro-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.

Unreal service. They know every dish and wine incredibly well . Can't go wrong with anything, but the uni spagettini is heavenly.

Perfectly 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.

Incredible meal. The rosette and carbonara are musts

Razor clams are awesome. Burrata is amazing. Spaghetti con vongole is perfect and spicy . Just order anything, you won't regret it.

Fittingly, rustic dishes are best: Choose shimmery sardines; sizzling, golden-skinned hen; or pleasant suckling pig liver , all pulled from the wood-burning oven. -TimeOut

Great cozy rustic Italian vibe and amazing food.The Rosette was my favorite. It’s super rich, but delicious!

Great Flowers, great Limocello, keep some room for deserts too

Delicous italian restaurant . Gnocchi was great & also their pizzas are amazing!

Everything is fantastic! Seriously! Octopus , pizza speck, raza con capers , lasagna , stake, panna cotta , bread pudding ❤️

Wow, how had I never been here before. Large space for NYC -- lots of vegetable-focused dishes. Loved the lasagne !

Pizza crusts are impeccably delicious, octopus spicy and memorable. Gorgeous rustic environment takes you right to Tuscany .

Beautiful and romantic setting . Relatively low prices for the one by the glass

If 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

Seafood 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!!

Go 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 !!

Came here many moons ago but remembered it was very enjoyable and seeing it now is a reminder I need to get back!

The 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.

Frank Decarlo's countryside Italian restaurant has long been a staple on the first-date circuit. The room is warm and the food, mostly cooked in clay pots , impossibly comforting. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

The exposed brick interior and handmade wood-burning oven at Peasant bring a welcoming authenticity to the rustic Italian eatery . Read more

Risotto with asparagus was twice as delicious and twice the size of everyone's dish.

Also the fresh ricotta they serve with bread is magical. And the spicy octopus - hate spicy food , LOVED this.

Great pastas , easy to share family style . Solid place to rent out for work events

Great bar too.

Reasonably priced wine by the glass. You can drink downstairs in a beautifully designed space.

cutest most intimate restaurant but for some reason the bathroom door doesn't close so it gets even more intimate than you ever expected.

Desserts are amazing, and are portioned large enough for 2 people!

Some of their main entrees do not come with sides...I had the Orata and tried my BF's Suckling Pig head . Delicious!
