On the Upper West Side, it’s a relatively cool and chic Italian spot. The food, including the pasta dishes, was absolutely delicious, and the dessert was truly outstanding. The ribeye, however, was a bit disappointing as it was too fatty.

Walked in on a Saturday evening (on the earlier side), and we were able to get seated at the “chef’s counter.” We started off with drinks at the bar ($10 cocktails from 4-6 PM!), which had a nice vibe, before moving to the chef’s counter right in front of the kitchen. It was nice to be able to see the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and take in the aroma of the various dishes being prepared. We started with whipped ricotta and fig bruschetta; the balance of savory and sweet made for a nice bite, but some parts of the bread were grilled a bit too long and were burnt. For mains, we had fettuccine with white bolognese and fusilli with basil pesto and spicy sausage. Both pastas were very good. The white bolognese had hints of liver to add to the layers and richness of the flavor. The fusilli had a brighter flavor, with a nice dash of heat from the sausage. Dessert was torta di formaggio, which ended up being a chocolate cheesecake. The upper shell was hard, which added to great textural contrast. The orange cream also balanced out the decadence of the chocolate. Service was friendly and informative. The vibe was a bit more fancy than your average neighborhood spot, but not so fancy to be stuffy.

Of my favorite restaurants, I live in Harlem, and I find myself here often as a regular. The bar is incredible. The service is out of this world, and I love how the menu changes frequently, where you have to return weekly. One of my favorite things to order from the bartender Marvin is an extra dirty martini.

From the minute we stepped in, we were made to feel so welcome! The team did a wonderful job of creating a warm atmosphere through their friendliness. On top of that, the space itself was uniquely cozy yet sophisticated, and the noise levels were ideal to converse without feeling a need to shout. For dinner I ordered the sweet corn cappelletti, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The corn filling was summery and fresh, and the sungold tomato sauce was the perfect burst of flavor to complement it. The pasta served as a delicate wrapper for the corn filling, which was fun to eat and allowed the corn to shine. I look forward to coming back and trying other seasonal delights. All in all I was quite impressed with Sempre Oggi and I'm excited to have them in the neighborhood.

New favorite spot in the Upper Westside. From the service to the ambiance to the amazing food, Sempre Oggi did not disappoint. Our server Yussef offered the NY Restaurant week menu but we ended up ordering from the traditional menu to have more options. Started with an espresso martini, the prosciutto, a perfectly dressed little gem caesar salad and just-right crispy calamari. Then had the well seasoned branzino with artichoke and tagliatelle with rabbit. Cleaned our plates and got out in great time for a show around the corner at the Beacon. Thanks team for the lovely meal. Will definitely be back!

We are so happy to have found this neighborhood new fave. Food was very fresh and prepared with seasonal ingredients. Our waitress, iris was super friendly and attentive. Four of us all loved our food. The only thing that is a little off is the bar area which is where our table was located smelled like cigarette.

Came to Sempre Oggi for a drink at the bar prior to going for a show at Beacon Theatre.. although the restaurant was quite full we were able to get seats at the bar rather quickly. Very friendly service and our mixologist. Kevin gave us a tasting of their house special martini and I wound up getting two more.. great service.. really pretty restaurant.. very clean bathrooms. We didn’t get a chance to eat, but we’ll definitely be back to try. The food smelled and looked delicious.

Atmosphere is utterly stunning, and the food was alright. The counter seating with the open view really tells how well the cleanliness of the kitchen is, but not really kid friendly due to smoke. Really busy dinner rush when I got in so service was a tad slow. The food was good but a bit too sour for my palate.

Excellent food, but really disappointed by the service. The ambience is pleasant, but the tables are packed together, so there is no privacy. They knew I had to leave for a show because they called me and asked again when I arrived, which is nice. However, despite their assurance that I would have plenty of time, they brought the last dish after the time I was supposed to leave. I had to eat in a rush and couldn't enjoy my food. Once they knew they were late, instead of communicating openly the waiters hid away.
