• Italian • West Village
Booked 105 times today
San Sabino is a seafood focused restaurant from wife and husband team, chefs Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, in partnership with Quality Branded. After working in some of NYC’s top Italian restaurants and dreaming of opening their own special neighborhood spot, Angie and Scott opened Don Angie in 2018 to tremendous critical acclaim. They quickly became known for boldly unexpected dishes that challenge your perception of traditional Italian-American cooking.Six years later and just a few doors down from Don Angie, they've now opened their second restaurant, San Sabino. Named after Scott’s grandfather (from Sanza, Italy, where most people are named after the patron saint Sabino), San Sabino offers a playful spin on Italian dishes from Shrimp Parm to Pasta Alle Vongole, with bold twists influenced by coastal American cities where many Italians settled, from New Orleans to the Jersey Shore.

    We’ve dined at Goodfellas many times and are always pleased. In fact, it has become a go to restaurant for us. The host, Sammy, greets guests as they arrive with a friendly smile. The menu is extensive and the portions generous. We especially love the shrimp and avocado salad whenever it is on the special menu.

    One of the best Peruvian restaurants I've been to outside of Peru. Super fresh ingredients, great flavors, and superb presentation. The ceviche mixto was delicious and very fresh (they use mahi mahi rather than the"garbage of the sea" tilapia.) The chicha morada was not from a mix and was so fresh I could taste the maize. Appetizers and desserts (in particular the picarones) were fantastic. A little pricey, but you are paying for exceptional quality.
