Supper

I lived in NYC when Supper opened nearly 20 years ago, and it became a favorite back then. The neighborhood was very different, but this restaurant has survived. That does not surprise me, because their food is simple, yet delicious. The prices are higher today, of course, but my go-to dish is still on the (Specials) menu--the Veal Milanese--and it is worth every penny. I remember when it was on the original menu, and it read something like "served with a nice little salad," and it still is. The veal is lightly breaded, quickly fried in butter in a pan on the stove (I sat at the bar and watched them make it). It is plated next to the salad, which is indeed simple but a perfect accompaniment, along with half a lemon to squeeze over everything. It's fun to do, and I tend to use every drop. This dish could be a "last meal" dish for me, I love it that much, even well over a decade since I first had it. Also see the photo of the bread with the white beans in oil. Not enough places start with a thoughtful complimentary starter (or anything complementary at all), but they do. And it's tasty. As long as Supper is still around, it's worth me trekking there whenever I visit New York. And one other thing to mention, considering so many places have gone to card-only, this place has stuck to the CASH ONLY format (they have their own ATM in the back).

Our meal was pretty good. The complementary bread with white beans in olive oil was really good. My veal Milanese was kind of plain, and the salad that it came with was very sharp and bitter. Chicken Parmesan was relatively good. Both meat cutlets were extremely thin. Even though I was not blown away, the meal was still pretty good, and I would eat here again to explore their pasta options.

Came here for Sunday dinner walk-in. Black kale salad was delicious- with finely shredded kale and light dressing The veal Milanese was pounded pretty thin and a bit greasy, not a crisp outside that you can hear if you run a fork over it. Beef tartare if a special on the white truffle menu- perfectly standard and good texture. Short rib tortellini is the Sunday special and very good.

Best Italian food I’ve ever had! Everything was delicious start to finish! We ordered the burrata mozzarella appetizer, roasted chicken, grilled salmon and chicken parmesan entrees and all of it was perfect! Cute intimate venue that feels like home but it’s super classy and high end at the same time. Such a perfect vibe! Pricey but worth every penny. Highly recommend you stop by if you’re in the area!

Supper is a really cute northern Italian restaurant. They’re known for their lemon pasta and chicken parm. The staff are super friendly. It’s a big restaurant that can host large parties and has outdoor seating. Make sure to bring lots of cash because it’s cash only, they have an atm in the back too. It’s kind of on the pricey side for Italian food and drinks but still yummy and a good time.

What an amazing experience. Starting with the staff. Everyone is lovely, warm, hospitable. Service is 10/10 - unmatched. Turns out they are more than just coworkers, most of the staff has been here >10 years and are truly a family. Onto the food. Delicious. So good. The pasta tasted so fresh and was seasoned perfectly. Great wine menu and lovely ambiance. Overall wonderful night. Would highly recommend!!

The best fresh pasta and burrata we’ve ever had. The food is exceptionally good- but one of my favorite things is everything is perfectly seasoned, we didn’t have to ask for salt or cheese. The wine we ordered was delicious, interesting, and reasonably priced. We ordered the burrata skeptically, at $30. Amazingly, IT WAS WORTH IT. Very good service too. We’ll be back.

A decent Italian place in East Village. My friend claims their pasta limone is the best in NYC (I thought it was just good). But their wine list by glass was very comprehensive and good! The service was nice and the overall vibe is old school meets casual.
