Still expensive for what it is. But they are 1 of 2 well equipped for outdoor seating.
was really warm even outside and great food!
Awesome outdoor dining! Heaters above every table - so nice and warm! The zucchini soup, branzino and polenta were all delicious. The tiramisu was excellent. My server Henry was awesome and took great care of me. Will be going back very soon!
Awesome warm location and service was exceptional.
Great setup outside! We weren't cold at all and food was great.
It was a relief to find that tables are not only totally separated in outdoor enclosed booths, but are so well heated with very effecting heat lamps!
Excellent food except for cacio e pepe, which we normally love, but here had way too much pepper. However the meatballs and pizza were excellent, and the burrata and tomato was THE BEST we have ever had, truly a MUST HAVE. My negroni was perfect.
The lady who waited on us was excellent but seemed overworked and so we had to wait a bit to find her (for the bill, for example) but we are not lowering our rating because of this - we understand that erratic staffing is usually a consequence of the pandemic.
Thank you to Sauce for finding a way to make Manhattan dining a very pleasurable experience. The best testimonial we can offer is our plan to return very soon!
Had a very nice outdoor brunch last Sunday. They have a few personal heaters at some of the tables, we found the temperature comfortable while we were seated (it was in the high 30’s). They have outdoor, sheltered areas, so you can go there in the snow. I’m not sure how well they hold back the rain. The service is great. Good place to go while indoor dining is prohibited.
This is my favorite cozy Italian restaurant in the city!!
The pizzas and pastas are all delicious and the service/ambiance is the consistently the best.
Already looking forward to coming back to NY to eat here again
Never ever disappoints. Food, music, vibe and service. Especially Miguel who is both a server and bartender. Top notch
Amazing food!!!!! Service was outstanding :)
Awesome vibes, great energy, epic food
Staff is really helpful too
The food never disappoints. Will continue to go back!
Wonderful outdoor heated seating! Perfect for winter-time dining. Vodka pizza was amazing.
Service was really good. Was there for brunch and it was ok. Nothing stood out that we ordered.
Loved it!
Caci pasta
Arugula salad
Margarita pizza!
We’re industry folks that always came through for Amici Monday before Covid, and decided to stop in this past Monday for old times sake. The food was wonderful as always, and perfect vibes with a great playlist. To tell you the truth we were shocked that the owner would continue the Amici Monday special during a time where people are already broke and not tipping servers properly, so if you do go on Monday night and receive a 1/2 off bill please please PLEASE leave a large tip for the server. 1/2 price meal doesn’t make them 1/2 a human, and they still give you full service. Share the love :) Sauce is our favorite little Italian spot in Manhattan and would recommend it 10/10 to anyone entertaining the option.
Amazing!!!! I’m so happy this restaurant still open.
Te customer service, friendliness is TOP! They always treat us amazing ! Thx Sauce Team!
Food was good. Server was fine. Sat outdoors on a very cold evening bc there were no reservations left for indoor dining. Wore coats and scarves in anticipation but they sat us at a table for 4 without a heater when there were plenty of outdoor tables for 6 under heaters. I guess they were saving those tables for larger parties that never came. Very frustrating that paying customers with a reservation are left in the cold with heated tables left open. Eventually a party of 2 came later and were immediately sat at the table for 6 under a heat lamp. Definitely frustrating to see. Food wasn’t worth braving the cold for.
Great experience, servers were exceptional. Delicious food and great value.Will go back!
Sauce is our favorite and never fails to deliver. The ambiance is always on point, the staff is friendly and fun, and the food is delicious. Couldn’t love this place more.
very comfortable outdoor dining / social distance experience! one of the few places i’ve felt very comfortable!
Thank you for the kind remarks! We've certainly put a lot of effort into ensuring our guests feel safe during these unprecedented times. We look forward to having you for dinner again soon.
Great food great music great les vibes ‼️Great for a date or dinner with friends
The Cacio & Pepe was delicious as was the broccoli rabe. Seems like the branzino was just ok - maybe its best to stick with the pastas?
Bolognese pasta was stuck together when it arrived....poorly cooked. Other dishes lacked flavor. Nothing special in terms of dining experience.
Mediocre — food was very avg. felt overpriced
Delicious food and wonderful service. Best chicken parm in the city!
Food was fantastic, we are definitely coming back soon
One of my fave spots to go in the city everything is totally on point, food, vibe, service, energy. Will keep coming back over and over again!
Might be the best pizza in the les
Such a wonderful experience.
The service was OUTSTANDING! The pizza super thin and tasty and non words for how amazing the garlic bread was!
Had a wonderful time there, highly recommended!
Great service! Host was very accommodating to seat our party of 6 early. Food was delicious. Will definitely return.
It was so loud inside, my ears were painful. I asked the staff to lower the sound 5 times and they eventually did it after an hour. Honestly, I was very disappointed with the lack of respect for the people that are inside. We want to have dinner with our friends, not shout over each other because of the "club level" music in the background. Will not want to come back.
A long time fan of Sauce. The service is spot on - outdoor dining looks amazing and the food is perfect. Great restaurant that is always consistent.
Great brunch spot for friends! We had three pitchers, 2 pizzas, 2 entrees, and apps for 5 people to share - all for $40 each! Great deal for NYC brunch
Great food and great service. Highly recommended.
Pizza was great and service was awesome too. Love this place for good italian comfort food.
The vodka sauce pizza was so delicious our table ordered a second pie! There is quite a bit of outdoor seating, but I felt the restaurant did a good job making sure parties were separate. Our waitress was attentive and friendly!
Sauce is the best!
