New York Brunch Warning | Locanda Verde ⚠️

I came across so many recommendations before visiting, but after checking it out myself, I have to say... girls, don't rush into it! This place is just too average and even a bit disappointing. ⚡️ ✅ Only Plus Point: Sitting outdoors, you can see The Vessel, which makes for great photos and a comfortable ambiance. 🌇 ❌ Complaints from Start to Finish: 🥩 Steak Tartare: The first time it was served, the bread was burnt to a crisp—like they didn't even check it before serving. I was genuinely shocked. It was that black. After requesting a replacement, the second one was better, but the overall experience was already ruined. The steak tartare itself was just okay—soft in texture, with a meager portion that felt like baby food. There was no surprise or delight. 🥪 🍝 Main Courses: I ordered a pasta and a steak. The pasta was pretty standard, with nothing memorable about it. The steak was so salty that I wondered if the kitchen had gone overboard with the salt shaker. 😅 ❗️ Overall: The food is just not worth the price. After this brunch, my expectations for their dinner have dropped to zero. 📌 If you’re coming for The Vessel: Consider the outdoor seating for some nice photos and a chill vibe. But don’t expect a gourmet experience. 📸 #NYCBrunch #NYCRestaurantWarning 🌟
