Located in the midst of other bars to socialize in the lower 80's of the upper east side, this hang-out is just terrific- food, service, ambiance, etc! Outside deck is cool for groups( I had the pleasure of eating out here just after it was completed last summer) and inside can be especially romantic. Intimate bar when you walk in to have a before or after dinner drink. Food is amazing and afordable.
I hope my date is smart enough to bring me here someday!
Pros: Ambiance, Location, Value

We had reservations for a table outside at 8:30pm, but were asked us to wait a few minutes, which is standard for New York restaurants. At 9:15pm, I inquired on the status on our table. Without a smile or an apology the hostess says we must wait another 30 -40 minutes for a table outside, and that she couldn't honor outdoor reservations anyway. Of course I declined to wait longer and left. Good god, what's the point of letting people book tables if you cannot honor?! And to top it off, what's with the attitude?! The fact that the hostess had such poor form in addition to the wait makes me cross this restaurant off my list forever.
Apparently the same hostess was also trying to kick out a group of women having drinks at a table and giving them a hard time for holding up a table.

Met someone for dinner the other night at Vespa and it was the best dining out experience I have had in a while. Between the food (the gnocci!), the DJ, the wine, and the general vibe it's a great place to bring a date (sexy crowd too). The owners are also really friendly. Definitely going back to Vespa for the quality dining in a place that is cool without trying too hard.

Looking for a place to have a romantic dinner, maybe dine with a group of friends or just a night out with the kids? Then I would highly recommend Vespa, considering I have done all of the above.
I just cannot get enough of the Gnocchi one of my favorite dishes. From Vespa's wine list to the selection of exquisite appetizers and entree's they have become a must vist for friends and family when in the city.
Enjoy!
Pros: outdoor dinning

Finally a great cool spot on the Upper East side.....Seems very casual when you first enter, but they really know their stuff. The food & Service were excellent and the winelist was well put together and very well priced. I tried a White Wine called Lugana on their recommendation and it was perfect. I can't wait to go back and try to snag a seat in their garden.
Pros: Service, Winelist, Garden
Cons: very busy

My boyfriend and I are regulars at Vespa. Our favorite part of the restaurant is the outdoor garden. We went last night for some dinner and drinks and were pleasantly surprised at being able to sit outside in mid-November. They put in amazing outdoor heaters. They also have these great red Vespa blankets. There were tons of couples snuggled up under the blankets in the adorable garden. It was such a fun cozy atmosphere. I've never seen this before in NY, it was so great. Can't wait to go back.
Pros: Ambience, Amazing Food, awesome service
