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

    With only one minor exception the food was excellent as were all other features of the restaurant. The only reason that I gave 4 instead of 5 stars to the food was because the side dish of crispy potatoes was not as it should have been. Though crispy, the potatoes were completely dried out on the inside to the extent that it was difficult to eat them. This is not a hard dish to prepare and cook properly and I expect with some attention by the chef it will be corrected. This is the first time I have ever found fault with a restaurant because of a side dish. When I next eat there I may try it again.

    I don’t know if we hit a bad night, but the service was very slow, the waiter was obviously pushing certain dishes (especially fluke appetizer… even after I made it clear I didn’t want fish!), the food was not especially good or creative. We wont be back

    Very nice meal. Decor of restaurant is great esp the beautiful bar.some of the highlights- baby gem Caesar and the focaccia to start and the roast chicken for entree. Group all thought pasta dishes a bit small, esp as we had as entrees not between courses. I love veal and chicken Milanese, but the one here is not great unfortunately.

    We spent one of the most enjoyable New Year's Eves ever at Sempre Oggi. Everything was perfect. Brian, the maitre di was so accommodating, and our waite staff was too, especially Lexie. The food was incredible, all cooked to perfecting. The atmosphere was festive. We have been there quite a few times, and the consistency of all the things that make a restaurant great was still there. We wish all the staff a Happy and a Healthy New Year.
