Experiences

  • Vinyl Night

    Multiple dates available
    Thursdays from 8PM - 11PM Sempre Oggi welcomes David Kastin, who has been a DJ in New York for over 30 years, for a curated set from his personal record collection. I bought my first record in 1975. It was Aerosmith’s debut album. Ever since then I have had a love affair with vinyl. It all started with early 70’s rock, then into the late 70’s I was collecting disco ala Studio 54. Next was punk/post punk new wave and my collection grew significantly. In the late 80’s I discovered an old school NYC dance party DJed by none other than David Mancuso called The Loft and it changed my life. The Loft exposed me to so much music, one could hear almost anything from disco to funk, soul, house and rock and post punk it was so eclectic and inspiring

    Restaurant has a great vibe and the service was 100% perfect. Seriously. Our waitress should be commended. Food was a bit inconsistent. Swordfish was great in every way. Salad with apples was good too. Whipped ricotta was good but needed something more. Spaghetti scampi was luke warm and bland. One shrimp wasn’t cooked through. Could be an absolutely fantastic restaurant if they tightened up the kitchen a bit. We’ll definitely give it another try.

    The restaurant was very busy last night. It was good to see a relatively new restaurant in the neighborhood attracting a larger crowd. As a result, it was a little noisier than usual, but not distracting. Beverages arrived quickly, as did our food. The focaccia appetizer is soooo good! My husband only eats one thing when he comes…..the veal Milanese. It is a very large portion and always cooked perfectly. I try a fresh pasta every visit and last night had the spaghetti shrimp scampi.

    Service was absolute perfection. Delayed by Holiday traffic, our table was held for us. Setting and ambience warm and welcoming. Food! Ricotta appetizer with a touch of honey, delish. Halibut cooked perfectly, literally melted in our mouths and the veal chop another winner. Try the tiramisu for dessert. Our new favorite UWS restaurant.

    We have had dinner at Sempre Oggi several times, and it never disappoints. What a great addition to the UWS....portions are large enough to share and we love the focaccia, whipped ricotta, all the pastas, and the halibut and chicken are always delicious. The entire staff and the vibe is terrific, warm and inviting.
