Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Little Italy / College St.

I had an amazing experience at Maxime’s! The food was absolutely delicious, the petit wagyu burgers were so tender and flavorful, they practically melted in your mouth. The drinks were just as impressive, with a fantastic selection of cocktails. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from start to finish. They even brought out a candle for my boyfriend’s birthday, which made the night even more special. 10/10 recommend!

I had a wonderful dinner date at Bar Vendetta last night. The service was excellent—the staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening. Our food arrived at the perfect pace, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. Although we didn’t get to try the cocktails, the pasta and small plates were outstanding, with just the right balance of flavors and seasoning. The ambiance was fantastic—from the beautifully decorated walls to the cozy seating, every detail added to the experience. The only thing that could be improved is the music selection, which didn’t quite enhance the atmosphere as much as it could. A more curated playlist could elevate the mood even further. Overall, it's a great spot for a date or a night out, and I’d definitely come back!

Food was delicious and the hospitality was amazing!

Truly memorable dining experience. Dishes presented so beautifully and the taste/texture combination is exquisite. Staff so attentive. The box of mini desserts at end of the meal was so special.

Great for dates and hangouts. Very cute and pretty.
