Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Little Italy / University Village

Server was really nice and the food was immaculate. 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely incredible, food was amazing, service was on point, loved this place and will definitely go back!

I reserved a special from Mercadito called "Amor y Sabor" and boy it did not disappoint. The ambiance was very chill and the music was not too loud. Our waitress was very nice and attentive with us. The food was fantastic it consisted of a 4 course meal. It began with a shot of tiger de leche (Peruvian cuisine). Then we had a choice of camarones ceviche which was super tasty and flavorful. After that, we had queso Birria tacos with the dip and that was also delicious. Next but not least, we had some nice and tender strip steak which was perfectly cooked and was easy to chew. Our night was capped off with some churro desert and a glass of champagne. Overall an awesome and exciting experience and would highly recommend it!

Beautiful space and incredible food. Our server remembered it was our 5th wedding anniversary and certainly helped make it special. We will be back!

Beautiful atmosphere and decor with incredible views. House music played in the background, the bar is gorgeous and the people are here to see and be seen. Thankfully, the food and service stands up to the see and be seen portion of this experience. Service was amazing, our server was warm, friendly, happy to make suggestions, and funny. We really enjoyed her. The food was delicious - panzanella salad "like summer in a bowl" followed by the wild boar ragu (divinely rich and silky) and then a filete di manzo with parmesan roasted fennel and smashed potatoes. The steak is smoky, with a nice crust on the outside but rare, sweet and tender on the inside. At first, we had FOMO over the pasta, thinking we should have ordered two pastas. Once we had tiramisu for dessert (which was impossibly creamy and rich), we were glad we didn't order a 2nd pasta because we were so full. We ate very well and laughed about it as we rolled out of the St Regis to the car. We had the Blanco Bianco Amargo, a tequila/mezcal drink, and it was divinely crafted with a lovely finish. Everything here is well thought out and carefully executed. I asked our server to surprise me with a glass of red wine suitable for the pasta and steak. She gave me a Barbera, which worked well with the intense richness of the boar and beef. This is a romantic atmosphere, with lots of space and service is such that it allows privacy and the staff understand that. Highly recommend the experience for a date night!
