“I have to say San Sabino was some of the worst food I’ve ever had.”

“My pasta was disgusting. Ricotta Gnudi with some odd Asian sauce with peanuts that tasted like a Chinese chicken salad dressing. I won't go back.”

“San Sabino is one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Everything on the menu feels unnecessarily complicated instead of letting the ingredients shine.”

“Truly delicious and creative. The pastry is similar to a sfoglietella but not sweet. Wonderful vibe there at lunch with the big bright windows and fantastic food.”

“We did A feast of the 7 fishes by a collaboration between San Sabino x Bonnie’s last year and got unbelievable food poisoning as a group. So, maybe don’t do either of those restaurants if they’re doing it again.”

“the ravioli at San Sabino is better for the price”

“Yeah, if I'm ordering a lobster roll, I want massive chunks of LOBSTER not a giant pastry”
H2
“They’ll do anything to make it appealing except giving a full portion. Lobster rolls get increasingly suspect the further you get from Maine.”
H2
“I would be insulted by how little lobster was on this.”
H2
“Yeah San Sabino didn’t do it for me either. You can tell they’re trying to be inventive but the flavor combinations are odd.”
H2
“San Sabino and Don Angie. The use of lemon is very specific, but they're fantastic imo.”

H2
“Pasta Alla Vongole at San Sabino is incredible”

“Scottie's Martini at San Sabino (though I've now perfected my own, superior version).”
H2
“It’s great. Better than Bad Roman. Shrimp Parm is okay but kind of a gimmick. The pasta and apps are phenomenal”
H2
“my favorite pasta in the city is the lobster ravioli from San Sabino. So amazing dont skip that.”
H2
“San Sabino's Incredible Shrimp Parm”
H2
“I do love Don Angie and San Sabino - I think the food at both restaurants is so innovative and unique with friendly service, and prices are “reasonable” (for NYC Italian at least).”
H2
“The shrimp parm is worth it alone.”
H2
“If you're at Don Angie and you can't get in, try San Sabino next door (same chefs as Don Angie).”

“I see more celery than lobster. I hate cheap fillers”
H2
“San Sabino is a total pass imo. It got hyped because of the Don Angie connection, but you can get WAY better Italian even within a couple blocks of there”
H2
“I don't have a problem with the menu in general and in fact quite enjoy it (even if it's kinda short). But, I said it because I've stopped in for just a Scottie's. And more recently a Scottie's + their rainbow cookies during Pride weekend which was a terrible mismatch but FUCK were those cookies absolutely legit.”
H2
“There are some popular Italian spots (listed below) in manhattan are all relatively mid-priced as long as you are sticking to pastas, are relatively easy to get bar seating for solo diners and the food/service top notch.”
H2
“Favorites were the lobster triangoli and sheep’s milk gnudi! Octopus carpaccio was also excellent. Pepperoni carbonara and fritelle were meh”
H2
“Agreed, we really liked it but the only overlap was the lobster pasta”
H2
“Went about a month ago and everything tasted very off and too salty to the point where we complained it was inedible.”
H2
“Ci Siamo and San Sabino are the two best espresso martinis I’ve had (plus the food is insanely good)”
H2
“True!! Great vibes!!!!!! And the lobster ravioli is 👌👌👌”

“Better than Don Angie imo”
H2
“san sabino’s tuna tartare arancini combo is fun”
H2
“i find san sabino’s more creative take on seafood (pasta/ italian flare) to be quite underrated. The stuffed lobster pasta is especially underrated”
H2
“San Sabino has Lobster Triangoli which is insane!”
H2
“The worst Italian I’ve been to but I try to go highly recommend spots. Definitely not worth the nearly 300 I spent plus my cocktail.”

“Balthazar, Lartusi, Raoul’s, san sabino, rezdora, via carota, minetta tavern”

“They have a new restaurant called San Sabino if you want an alternative.”
