It was 9 degrees outside but warm and cozy at Follia. The brown butter sage, kale, mushroom parpadelle pasta and the seared trout were a perfect cold weather treat.

Totally random restaurant we walked into, but every single dish was amazing! The prices were very reasonable, the wine list was great, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area!

We had a panic when we had a last minute dinner for family and friends during the holidays. We needed a place for 15 people with only 2 days notice that had a varied enough menu to please everyone. Follia delivered spectacularly. The food outstanding and quite yummy. There was enough variety that everyone in our big party were satisfied. The meatballs, the mushroom pizza and calamari were all standouts. We ordered them 3 or 4 times throughout the night. Our servers were all super helpful, friendly and Accommodating of our every need. It was a fun evening with many different parties and we very much enjoyed our evening. We highly recommend and we’ll be back.

I don’t get the opportunity to fine dine out very often, so when I do, I really appreciate it when everything is beyond expectations. My evening at Follia was well beyond my expectations. A high school buddy was in town for a memorial, so it was good opportunity to catch up over dinner. We were warmly greeted by our host and directed to our table. Our server, Angelique, was so gregarious and personable with us. We started with a couple of cocktails while we looked at the menu. I had forgotten my glasses but our server came to my rescue and vividly explained each dish I asked about and we went with her recommendations on all of our courses . She was absolutely correct on everything. We really loved the tuna tartare and risotto for the table. Plus the Branzino and wine pairing I had was outstanding. Everything was top notch, the food, the ambience, and especially the service. For example, when I inquired about the location of the restroom, I was escorted almost all the way there. I can’t wait until another excuse to go back there again with more friends and family along.

@follianyc is a classic italian restaurant located in east village. They also have a bottomless brunch deal that includes 1 entrée and unlimited brunch cocktails for 90 minutes ($32). Aside from bottomless brunch, we noticed that the prices of each of the food items were cheaper compared to many places in the city!

-brioche french toast: this was our favorite! it had the best fluffy texture, and the bananas on top were a great match. delicious.
-eggs benedict: eggs were runny and the english muffin was toasted correctly. i loved it!
-cobb salad: the first thing i noticed is that the dressing added the perfect amount of extra flavor and didn’t go overboard. i loved the combination of ingredients in the salad.
-crostini: came with 3: 1) burrata, olive oil and salt 2) whipped ricotta pesto 3)mascarpone and clover honey. each were slightly different from each other, and all tasted amazingly. i definitely liked the mascarpone and clover honey. it’s such a simply dish yet so delicious.

Excellent. A lovely neighborhood spot with those delicious and hearty vibes. The orecchiette and the baked eggplant were strong favorites. The mushroom pappardelle special was pretty good too. Love the vibes and friendly staff.

A classic Italian comfort food diner. They distinguished the menu between lunch and dinner so they weren’t serving their dinner dishes at lunch. The spaghetti wasn’t particularly unique or striking, but it was satisfying. The best part was how amicable everyone was.

The food is SO GOOD. But the service consistently is terrible. Management needs to train and MANAGE the restaurant better. I keep coming back over and over because the pizza and the cacio de pepe and the spaghetti del Follia is so very good, but I know now to wait 10 minutes for a server to come to me, then I have to ask, then to order everything all at once because that is the last time I will see them again. Even at the bar. It really just hurts them. I would keep ordering more if I was checked in on more frequently.
