Alice: West Village’s $45 Restaurant Week Steal 🍷✨
Finally tried Alice—West Village’s cozy Italian—for Restaurant Week, and damn, that $45 deal is legit. Southern-Italian seafood with smart twists, zero pretension, and a backroom that’s way fancier. Here’s the unfiltered take: 🍽️ Menu Highlights 🧀 Burrata: Saba glaze (not balsamic!) + basil confetti = summer on a plate. 🐟 Salmon: Crispy skin + pickled garlic scapes = texture wizardry. 🍮 Cannoli: Skip the sugar bomb, scrape out the ricotta. 🍷 Wine Hack • Gavi di Gavi: $13 for citrusy, melon-kissed perfection (pair with seafood). 💫 Why It’s Special ✅ Backroom: Velvet booths + chandeliers (book ahead). ✅ Bread basket: Warm, fluffy, olive oil worthy of sipping. ✅ Vibes: Feels like nonna’s dining room (if nonna had a sommelier). Hot Take: 8/10—Not life-changing, but perfect for date night. Your fave West Village Italian?
