A beautiful space, the outdoor garden is lovely, the food was superb and the service was impeccable. The tasting plate appetizer was a terrific value - big enough to share with the entire table.

I went to this Upper East side restaurant on Labor day for dinner. This restaurant matched up to the hype. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Myself and my guest were treated like members of the aristocracy. The only bad thing I could about this restaurant is the menu was a little limited. Also on the patio they only played George Michael Music, weird for an Italian restaurant. This is a great restaurant for a first date. Bottom Line, go to Vespa
Pros: Food, Service, Outdoor dining
Cons: , Limited food offering

The outdoor seating at Vespa is only outdone by the food! The wine suggestions given to us produced some of the best I've ever had. (Don't forget to try the dessert wines, too!) Everytime I come here I like what I've ordered more and more, and even though I live downtown, I look for excuses to head up to eat here. By far, one of my favorite places in the city.
Pros: Outdoor Garden, Homemade Desserts, Food

Visiting from Italy I had to try out Vespa after overhearing some New Yorkers talk about it here in Rome. It was fantastic. An outdoor garden that was only missing the view of the Coloseum. Grazie per le servizio e tutti le cibo buono.

Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!

Went to Vespa Saturday night with some friends and had a fabulous time. My girlfiend's co-worker brought us there and it was a nice surprise, food was very good, casual comfortable atmosphere, back patio where you can smoke for all you smokers! I don't go uptown that much, usually stay mid-town or go to Little Italy for Italian, but I will certainly be coming back here again. The new owner's were there and they were great! It was a pleasure to meet them and see them in the front of the house being involved with everything. Great place to go with friends for a casual evening with awesome food!

After reading all the good reviews on citysearch, I have to say, I don't really know what all the fuss is about. Maybe the dish I ordered wasn't that great. But in all fairness, my friends that i went with LOVED their dishes (salmon and chicken). I thought my dish (shells w/sausage) was average tasting. Definitely homemade, but nothing spectacular, especially for the price ($18-30). It's also a small restaurant so the space felt pretty tight, but to their credit, the place was packed. It has a cozy neighborhood feel and is more of a casual-night-out-with-friends kind of place than a make-a-great-impression kind of place. In my opinion, it wasn't really worth the price, but again, my friends disagreed.
Pros: Homemade
Cons: , expensive

imagine driving through the italian countryside just breezing along on your vespa and you are stopped by a cavalcade of celebrities. WEll what to do? take chicky pics and plaster them on your wall back in nyc. Now you you got the food, ambieance and the decor that brings me back to the time i was just cruizing along and snapping pictures. Nicely Done Guys.
Pros: inexpensive, comfortable, warm

If St. Peter could speak, he would say, "Take me to Vespa." This is an open-late, friendly with an extra "e" establishment, and run by two guys who will treat you like a Duke, or maybe even a young prince with newly acquired lands. Imagine Fellini, Godard and a Spanish prostitute having a group child and you have a wonderful sense of the sleek and fun decor. For bonuses: arrive on a Vespa.

I am a downtown girl living in an uptown world, with Vespa I need look no further. The vibe is there friends! Wonderful food, fabulous patrons, great music, a staff of angels and the ownwers, too cool for school. Vespa is much more than a neiborhood place, it a reason to come to the Upper East Side.

we had an early dinner meeting in the garden recently and the antipasto was amazing. The mozz and tomato rocked, but the pasta, we didn't order individually, just let the chef do whatever he wanted, was great: peas, ham, cheese; just delicious! and the staff was so accomodating, just kept the food coming, the glases of water filled and the wines poured. It was a great experience: formal and very informal!
Pros: food, service, people you see there
