I have had the privilege of discovering this little jewel of a pizzeria. The price tags are great for delivery or have-out. The pizza top quality is pretty good given the small pr...

Peasant is an uncomfortable restaurant that has some real attributes but ultimately fails. The room is set up so that there is really NO intimacy or comfort. A large dining room i...

Nice Brick Oven and Creative Food 9/24/2002

Peasant is not a large restaurant but it seems just the right size for the neighborhood. First thing I noticed was the open kitchen and the brick oven. Start with a pizza appetizer and continue with a fish dish. Chef picks up fish from the Fulton fish market daily so the selection may change from day to day. Good but limited wine selection. Get an Italian dictionary because the menu is in all Italian. You can even take a short walk over to Mulberry Street for some desert afterwards. Pros: Great Pizza, Nice Kitchen, Creative Dishes Cons: Crowded & Loud, Limited Menu more

Savory Fresh Flavors 9/20/2002

I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but I can't say enough positive things about this restaurant. The service was a 10plus the waitress was patient and attentive, and the food and ambiance was excellent. When they didn't have the bottle of wine in stock that we asked for they gave us a much more expensive bottle at the same price. I highly recommend the rare lamb served over creamy Parmesan polenta, the gnocchi in a creamy mushroom sauce and the Mango desert was exquisite. Pros: Service, Ambiance, Variety more

local faves 8/4/2002

this is one of my fave places in my neighborhood. okay, so sometimes their hours of operation are a little wacky, but they make up for it with their fine food and wine. i've read many accusatory reviews here about rudeness at Peasant, but i've never run into that. in fact, the service has always been exceptional. food, ambience, service...wonderful.. delicioso! more

Solid Choice 7/15/2002

Peasant is good restaurant with a nice atmosphere, consistent food and service. Their wine list is excellent and their food and service are consistent. The prices are a bit high and the portions on the small side. Great first date restaurant (casual yet sophisticated). more

That's amore! 6/21/2002

I'm in love! Not with a beautiful italian woman (although that would be nice) but with a beautiful italian restaurant, Peasant. I had the best seafood pasta I've had since staying on the Amalfi coast, the black squid ink pasta with cuttlefish. I'm still craving it! Too bad I live 60 miles away or I would be there every day! Everything at Peasant was fantastico although I have to warn you that the desserts are tremendous! Order only one for the table and split it! Pros: service, good prices, smoking at bar Cons: bad lighting, little noisy more

My new favorite 6/18/2002

I have been hearing good things about Peasant for about a year now and for some reason never made it until the other night. I'm so sorry I waited so long. The food is amazing and although it takes awhile to order ( the menu is in italian only) it is worth the wait. My old favorite restaurant is Il Buco but I have to admit Peasant has bumped it to second place! Pros: great neighborhood Cons: no parking more
