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

    I just had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner at Sempre Oggi! I started with a crisp green salad with a dressing that I can't ID I sure loved it, followed by turkey and dressing cooked the way I want to have it the rest of my life, not to mention cranberry sauce to die for, and inexplicably two desserts, I sent one back and ate a piece of divine cheese cake a l'italien. I'll go back on my diet tomorrow, or at least that's what I told myself, while eating this cheesecake from heaven!

    Thanksgiving dinner at sempre oggi was fantastic. I would understand if it was hard to get adequate staffing or be pro forma with the food on a major holiday. This restaurant turned everything up a notch. The food was delicious and on point; just traditional enough but not at all boring. The service was excellent! Responsive, helpful, pleasant, friendly but not at all intrusive. Bravo!

    What a great Thanksgiving meal! The papardelle with turkey leg ragu was insanely delicious. I could eat it every day and not get tired of it. The choices of entrees were difficult to choose from, but we all had the porchetta with jimmy nardello peppers and red endive. The sides were served family style. The roasted carrots were fabulous. Dessert, too was served family style. Service was friendly and efficient. Johnny, our waiter, was excellent. The room is attractive, the bar has great choices. This place is a great addition to the UWS and I will be returning often.

    My wife and I had a wonderful time at Sempre Oggi on Thanksgiving. Started with an Oggi Martini at the bar before dining on the Thanksgiving prix fixe ($85/pp). All of our courses were delicious (chestnut papardelle to start and porchetta main) and the wine list was right up our alley--settled on a beautiful Frapatto that suited our meal perfectly. Need that cranberry relish recipe! Really must say: both the bar and restaurant are beautiful. The service was exceptional and friendly at every point of our experience. Would love to visit again to try the regular menu and take advantage of the extensive list of amari. Thanks for having us!

    Our dinner was delicious and the service was wonderful. The restaurant was very accommodating when the size of our party increased at the last minute. I would highly recommend everything on the menu including the non alcoholic cocktails. I will definitely return for future meals.
