Stylish Italian seafood spot with handmade pastas and romantic vibe; food and ambiance praised, but waits, host stand issues, and value complaints appear regularly.
Alice delivers a romantic West Village escape with exceptional setting appeal—candlelit townhouse rooms and a glowing bar that justifies its destination reputation. Food quality shines with standout seafood pastas and salt-baked branzino, and servers demonstrate confident wine knowledge. However, quality wavers under pressure on busy nights, and isolated cleanliness incidents create hesitation, keeping this from grade A territory despite its undeniable charm.
One caveat: Waits of 20-50 minutes past reservation at peak times are not uncommon
