    Meal took too long to come out. Got there at 12:50pm for a 1pm reservation, ordered at 1:15 and meal didn’t arrive for 35 minutes. Too long for lunch.

    Did not realize when I made this reservation that there was an ‘annex’ to the restaurant down the street. Perfectly fine space but not the experience I expected walking by the original building many times before. Not as quaint. A little disappointing to be honest. And the schilling for their own promoted items really cheapened the experience-buy a branded mug or cookbook listed on the menu? Come on. You use to be better than that.

    Yes the space is super cozy and cute but the FOOD! My boyfriend and I came for the first time and the food was incredible! You can tell the chef puts his heart into every dish. We had the burrata, meatball sliders, and Brussels sprouts for appetizers. And the NY Strip and Veal pasta special. The mains were so delicious! The flavors blended together perfectly. This was probably the best meal we had in awhile and we finished everything! Would highly recommend dining at Little Owl if you haven’t before!

    The Little Owl gives guests a warm and wonderful guest experience from greeting to goodbye, and the hearty American cooking is comfort food at a higher level. From mussels with a delightfully piquant red sauce (or white, if you prefer) to the chef’s nonna’s pasta, fresh fish compositions to chops, new-fangled brownies and fresh fruit crisps á la mode to beignets, and great wine and beer selections (no liquor, but you won’t miss it), The Little Owl is a NYC West Village staple everyone should experience.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review, Jerome! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your experience at The Little Owl was everything we hope for our guests—warm, welcoming, and full of delicious comfort food with a twist. We truly appreciate your kind words and for recommending us as a West Village staple. We can’t wait to have you back for more unforgettable meals and great moments! 🦉✨
