Audace

10/10 restaurant! Impeccable service (can’t thank our waiter Jose enough), food and drinks. Our pasta came out a bit cold (but still delicious), the restaurant remade everything for us. And my bf says the signature cocktail Golden Beans was one of the best espresso martinis he has had in NY.

Had my wife's surprise birthday party and I have to say... despite expectations being high they absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was next level... cacio e pepe was creative and an interesting take on a classic. Marinara pizza... again next level stuff. The mixed drinks were also phenomenal ranging from classics such as the paper plane and limoncello to more imaginative drinks such as the pornstar martini. Our waiter... I feel guilty for not remembering his name.... he was amazing. Charming, welcoming... he made the experience truly an experience.

Had such a nice lunch here. Brought my son and his friend and we walked in and were seated immediately. Service was above excellent. Everyone was friendly, helpful and nice. Food was excellent. Wood burning oven pizza was so good. Pasta was fresh and cooked al dente and every bite was devoured. If you’re looking for that special place that serves good food and has good service, look no further.

A truly authentic Italian restaurant - the food was absolutely amazing, and the service was incredibly kind. It was my dad’s birthday, and they surprised him with a small cake and a candle - such a thoughtful gesture, thank you so much! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. During our stay in New York, this was the only place where we enjoyed genuinely high-quality food. You can really tell that the restaurant is run with passion and heart. I only regret not trying the pizza - it looked incredible! We had already eaten so much delicious food that we simply didn’t have any room left, but I’ll definitely come back for it next time - it looked absolutely amazing!

Audace is hands down one of the best restaurants we’ve tried in NYC. Every dish is packed with flavor, made with top quality ingredients that are clearly chosen with care. If you’re after real Southern Italian food with a creative twist, this is the spot. The vibe is elegant but comfortable and José went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing night. And seriously, the cannolis taste like they came straight from Italy! I’ve been dreaming about them since I tried! Can’t wait to be back and try the rest of their menu.
