“I am rarely around Nolita but this has became a great option anytime you want a relaxed vibe and delicious food.”
“People watching is superb and the mozzarella is perfection.”
“However, this place is a bit off the Little Italy area and just on the edge of east SoHo, which I love.”

Delicious! What a great place! From the cute menus to the decor to the food – a wonderful experience. We all ordered different entrees and every plate was clean at the end. I ordered the flat noodles with braised beef and red sauce. So good! I highly recommend this jewel of a restaurant. One note: it is cash only.
I really wanted to like this place. The decor is rustic, shabby chic …reminded me of a coffee shop with dim lightings, very cozy, romantic but it's a small restaurant promoting farm to table ingredients (seem to be the hip thing nowadays).
The menu is descent though the prices are a bit high with most main course and pasta entree were almost $20 (most had almost no meat in it) up to $30. Appetizers are close in the $10-15.
Hubby opted for the pasta with meat sauce. Supposedly what most people ordered on yelp…i ordered the butternut squash gnocchi with scallops. And we shared calamari (sauteed) as appetizer.
The bread that we got was cold and dry out. Server was not very attentive, our empty water glasses were neglected for many times, he was busy chatting with customers around the bar (i think they knew each other).
Calamari appetizers had some charred garlic pieces but overall, it was a very delicious dish. The calamari was cooked perfectly, not chewy, the seasoning was simple but just the right amount of salt. Excellent! Portion is on the tiny side, price tag $12!
Gnocchi was a disappointment. It was hard like a rice cake…I'm not a gnocchi expert but this is really not good. The scallops were definitely frozen, not fresh and they sliced it very thin, too thin, kinda killed it!
Hubby's pasta was just alright. The noodles tasted like it was made in the house, but a bit too doughy.
With the many Italian offerings in the area, they should probably improve their cooking to want to survive.
Handmade pasta, seasonal ingredients, amazing service, and a cool vibe. I had the tuna.. highly recommended! Kale salad looked amazing, too!
Really cute venue – reminds me of a European cafe. Cash only. Had granola with fruit and yoghurt, there was barely any granola in it so that was disappointing. Service was friendly. I recommend coming here for a couple of drinks and sitting either on the couch by the window or at the outside tables – get food elsewhere.
One of my best friend's lives right next to this place, so we come randomly and often just to have drinks and catch up and we end up ordering a few dishes here and there. Most of their pastas a pretty good and service is great. It's a great place to come after shopping and just chat with friends.
This is an adorable, cozy little restaurant nestled within the streets of SoHo. The atmosphere is one to speak of, be it welcoming, friendly and most of all authentic. Very laid back and easy going vibe, great for dinner. The food was good, as the pastas tasted very handmade and not too salty or overwhelming with flavors. Classic, simple place. Would recommend the pesto artichoke Raviolli!
After finding out about Epistrophy on a Instagram blog I was following, I decided to check it out on my vacation in NYC. I was very pleased with not only the decor and the staff, but also the food. I tried their qunioa and acavado salad paired with a half bottle of red wine. Despite my friend spilling his wine all over my white pants, the experience was great! The waitress surprised me with an extra two glasses to make up for the spill. Nice touch!
Nice spot for chill late night drink and food. The rustic decor works for this place and definitely a good date spot. Service a bit slower at that time. Standard pricing for Italian restaurants. I didn't get to try the wines, ironically being that it's a wine bar. But we did enjoy the cocktails a lot.
