Had an amazing service. We came here because we heard they had the best hot chocolate in town and for someone who has traveled the world. It didn't disappoint, one if not the best I've had. They had an amazing espresso martini too.

Was visiting NYC and just randomly saw this bar after dinner. So glad that we found this place! We absolutely loved the atmosphere, the décor, the service and the great energy that captivated us during out visit. It was so sad when the bar had to close at 11pm. Wish it had longer hours. Will definitely come back!

Amazing cocktails and a true Italian bar experience with a chic European vibe. The outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching, especially on a sunny day. Expect a bit of a wait to get seated—this place is popular for a reason—but it’s well worth it. Every cocktail was beautifully crafted and full of flavor. Whether you’re just stopping by for drinks or settling in for the evening, it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like you’ve escaped to a stylish corner of Italy.

As somebody who had seen Italy in various forms, I can say that American idea of Italy is better than reality, at least in this case. 😄 Everything we had was amazing, the coffee also very strong but not too strong, the staff was also very kind and the place itself has so many windows and you're lucky if you can get a seat!

Lovely bar, fascinating interior design. We were lucky to be served by a super nice server. Line was really long on weekend (we went there on Fri afternoon.) Bites were good average, so do drinks. 🍫🥛✨Hot chocolate, no doubt one of my favorite hot chocolates now. Please don’t see it as a drink but like a cup of chocolate-flavored, whisked heavy cream. It like mousse yet, but in between. Taste was rich and lovely with their style. Raspberry was delicious too, although nothing unique. The shell was crunchy, the jam was slightly too sweet for me. ✨💛Chips, special vip. Definitely something good than packed ones for people who are not hungry but craving stuff.

I went for the hot chocolate. The whipped cream on top was nice but honestly the hot chocolate was fine. We surprisingly liked the rice cake. This spot is very cute so I think the vibes are the highlight. It’s also close to the Path as well as Metro. There aren’t a lot of seats inside. There is some seating outside. I would maybe come back here for cocktails.

Cute bar / café, we went there on a sunny sunday morning, had some very good coffee and some of the little bites you can order with it. Nothing outstanding, but overall good experience and I would come back.

Delicious hot chocolate! I consider myself to be a hot chocolate connoisseur and this spot was mentioned in a few articles I’ve read. The hot chocolate here is great! Creamy and chocolatey! They had many delicious looking pastries at the counter. We tried a pastry that had Nutella filling (forgot the name of the pastry, sorry). It was flaky like a croissant on the outside, dusted with powdered sugar, and fluffy on the inside. I really enjoyed what I ordered. My complaints: Menu was not easy to read. I wasn’t asked what size of hot chocolate I would like when I ordered it; not sure if that’s why I received a miniature to go cup. It was very small, too small. Also, the man behind the counter that made our drinks could have been more friendlier. There was a young lady that approached us and offered a menu when we first walked in. We paid for our check with her as well. The place is very small inside. A little awkward to stand inside, if the tables are all taken. They have tables outside, but it was too cold out. I highly recommend trying the sweet treats and drinks here. We spent about $35 for two people.

I liked this place a lot. Granted it has very limited seating, it’s expensive, and 7th Ave isn’t the most ideal location in the WV, but the food was amazing and the aesthetics of the place were beyond beautiful. The coffee itself was okay and on one visit the service was great and on the other visit the service was just okay. But I’d come back here just to enjoy the atmosphere and the paninis.

Bar Pisellino is a wonderful spot for a coffee in the neighborhood. It's perfect for locals looking to enjoy a relaxing, quality cup in a cozy setting. Always a great choice for a casual, enjoyable coffee break.

Great cocktails, coffee and good vibes! Seating is limited and a bit cramped. The tuna sandwich is also decent but a bit overpriced

What a charming Italian bar & cafe! It’s located right across the street from Via Carota in the West Village, and no surprise, it’s owned by the same power couple behind Via Carota. We had just flown into town and found ourselves with an hour to kill before our lunch reservation there, and I’m so glad we wandered over. Yes, it was only 11 a.m., technically “too early” for cocktails but we’re on vacation, and who’s judging? They open at 8 a.m. daily, serving up excellent coffee and pastries, so you can just as easily make this your morning stop. That’s what I love about the concept, it really is an all-day Italian bar/cafe! We grabbed a sidewalk table with perfect front-row seats for people watching, easily the best spot in the house. Our server was friendly and attentive, which added to the whole relaxed neighborhood vibe. I ordered the much-talked-about Sgroppino (thanks to all the rave reviews), and it lived up to the hype. A slushy blend of lemon sorbet, Prosecco, and vodka, it’s bright, refreshing, boozy but still delicate, like a little glass of vacation. My boyfriend went for the Paper Plane, which was just as delicious in its own way. Between the drinks, the vibe, and the West Village charm, Bar Pisellino is a must if you’re in the area. I’d come back any time of day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Charming Italian Vibes & Delicious Drinks Bar Pisellino is such a cute and fun spot — the atmosphere and design instantly transport you to a classic Italian bar. It’s the kind of place that feels both relaxed and stylish, perfect for a casual afternoon or early evening hangout. I ordered one of their cocktails — I don’t remember the exact name, but it was a watermelon frappe-style drink from the menu, and it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and not too sweet — exactly how a great cocktail should be. If you’re looking for a laid-back place with excellent drinks, small sandwiches, panini, and a lovely cheese board, this is it. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone in NYC looking to enjoy a slice of Italy with great vibes and flavors.

Based on reviews about how great their hot chocolate is supposed to be, we stopped in today. Unfortunately, I wish I had stuck with my tried and true place. Change isn’t always good. Sadly, the hot chocolate tasted decent but there was nothing hot about it. It was lukewarm at best. We also ordered bomboloni and got the last remaining order at around 2:00 pm. Instead of cream filling which we wanted we settled for the raspberry which we did not like. Then came the clincher. Their menu says the hot chocolate is $8 and bomboloni is $5. When the waitress came around with the card reader for payment I saw the charge for hot chocolate was $11. My fault completely, I should have questioned it. I do not know why I didn’t and only checked after. So we paid $36 for two hot chocolates and an order of bomboloni (which unfortunately includes the tip I added) for subpar food. Highway robbery. I should have stuck with my favorite hot chocolate at Angelina’s of Paris where a larger cup of amazing HOT chocolate is indeed $8 as the menu says and it pairs well with their delicious macarons. Never again!

Went there for a hot chocolate which was absolutely amazing. The espresso martini was fantastic as well. However, one of the servers (short, brown), was passing racist remarks about customers, ignoring customers, and speaking in a very rude tone. He ruined the entire experience, not just for me but the tables around me. As long as he is working at this spot, would not recommend anyone to visit.

Unfortunately, the place left an unpleasant impression. We were calmly sitting at our table, having coffee and breakfast, when staff approached us several times and made remarks because we were filming ourselves on our phones. In the end, it became clear that if you are a blogger or simply want to create content, you are not welcome here. The service was awful. The mood was ruined, and there is no desire to return.

We initially loved this place — great atmosphere, good coffee and tea, and tasty sandwiches. We were visiting West Village from another city and truly enjoyed the vibe. The experience changed when we casually started filming ourselves as bloggers. We were approached several times and told that filming was not allowed and that we would need to schedule a photoshoot via email. This was not a professional photoshoot — just simple content creation, capturing ourselves and the atmosphere. It was disappointing, especially since filming in public spaces is common in the U.S., and we genuinely wanted to share and recommend this place. A great atmosphere at first, but the approach toward content creators left a negative impression.
