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

We love the fresh pasta choices available here. Each of us selected a different pasta. My husband always orders the veal chop. He claims it is the best he’s ever eaten. The focaccia appetizer is enough for 4-5 people, as is the prosciutto.
Our waitress made a couple of small mistakes in our order last night, but we still enjoyed our meal and will return again soon.

Really cute spot but overpriced for bad food. Our eggs were so overcooked, they were dusty. The servers were super nice but forgot a drink order and condiment until we were basically done with the meal.

I always look forward to dining at Sempre Oggi, and am never disappointed in the experience. From the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel welcome and taken care of. It is a beacon of gastronomy in uptown NYC (I cross the park from UES to dine there).
Keep up the good work!

As always the food was great and service was fun and friendly. We even spotted a well known actor coming to enjoy the vibe. Branzino was excellent, pastas delicious and little gem salad terrific.

The food is excellent. Space is very pretty- bright and open. It was a Tuesday night so pretty quiet but know weekends get very busy. Service was a bit slow- seem short staffed.
