I think there's sharp disagreement among reviewers because Peasant is a little bit of a Euro/hipster place right now and because the service is a tad snotty. Maybe some wouldn't find the room romantic (I did - dark lighting, warm brick walls, fire burning in the kitchen stove), but this place has great ambience simply because the tables are spread apart - no crowding at all. Service was ok. But what's really important is the food, which was awesome. I wasn't totally blown away by the caviar spaghetti, though it was good. The sardines and octopus were excellent and the pizza with speck and arugula was one of the best I've ever had (I think all the pizzas would be amazing). This is a great place to bring large groups and parents from out of town.
