The hostess was great. Service was great. A little bit of a wait but hey it was a Friday night. Expect it. Had a dinner for 1 and the food did not disappoint. The Negroni was spot on. The grills squid with peppers as stuffing. Delicious. The carbonara was also just the right portion.

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

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.

Food was overall good, I actually really enjoyed the suckling pig and the octopus. Steak was good as well but pricy.
Pastas were just ok.

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!

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.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Peasant, and it couldn’t have been more special. From the moment we arrived, there was a thoughtful card waiting on our table congratulating us. Such a lovely personal touch.
We started with Di Palo’s burrata and prosciutto – creamy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. For the main course, we ordered the branzino and the bone-in strip, both cooked to perfection and full of rich, deep flavor. Every dish felt authentic and beautifully prepared.
The cozy atmosphere, warm service, and exceptional food made the evening unforgettable. Peasant is truly a gem for anyone who appreciates genuine Italian cuisine with heart. Special thanks to Irakli for the warm welcome and hospitality, he made us feel truly celebrated.

Recommend the roselle, a short rib and mushroom pasta dish. Good service with sharing tastes of wine to find the right glass. Sides are seasonal. We had the squash which was fantastic.

I’m super disappointed to write this review because I loved this restaurant and basically anything by Marc Forgione, but Valentine’s evening at Peasant was nothing short of a disaster. We arrived for a 9:45 pm reservation (so late but I insisted on dining here for VDay) and we could barely get in the door the host stand was so backed up. Took them 15 minutes to seat us and when they did, we were seated in the cellar – not the main dining room. It was so freezing down there that I, like most of the other women in the room, had to wear my winter coat the entire meal. Service was incredibly kind and gracious but beyond overwhelmed. We ordered appetizers, primo (pasta) and secondi (entree dishes). It took nearly 20 minutes for the first dish to arrive and it wasn’t even anything we ordered. It was a pasta dish that I think we realized later, belonged to the table next to us. When they took it away the table next to us said “it’s been a disaster like this all night.” Ten minutes later our appetizers finally arrived. The Ceasar was great but the octopus was very tiny and thin and overcharred. We then waited another 30 minutes for the pasta to arrive. As we waited, we overheard the other tables around us all talking to one another also complaining in frustration about how terrible the evening was- being disappointed in how long everything was taking (one table said they’d been there since 8pm!), having so many errors in their orders, and being seated in the cold cellar. By the time our pastas arrived it was 11:15 pm- an hour and a half after our reservation and we still hadn’t received our entrees (we ordered everything within 5 minutes of sitting down). One of the pastas was not warm, the other was very good. We were so frustrated and exhausted by the time the pastas arrived that we just asked our server to put the entrees directly into boxes so we could take them home (we prepaid for the prix fixe so we couldn’t cancel the order). This dinner was not at all cheap, so it’s a real shame that we didn’t get to enjoy it. Branzino isn’t exactly the same experience after sitting in a box in the fridge overnight. The service team did the best they could – comped a round of drinks (we bought the first round at the insanely crowded upstairs bar while waiting for our table to be ready) but it was ultimately just a really poor decision to put profits over guest experience by over-seating on Valentines Day. As a restaurant publicist, I know that this decision was one that will come at the expense of the restaurant and chef’s reputation and will not be worth the profit in the end.
