Despite being a sleepy Sunday evening, Foul Witch was hopping. I grabbed the last bar seat for an excellent and interesting dinner. The Celery Alla Romano featured slivers of celery (a little difficult to eat) mixed with a generous pile of anchovies and a beautifully pungent Pecorino. It was a great salad and a good beginning. The kitchen features a wood oven, so the Roast Shoulder of Goat sounded like a great match. The roasting brought out a nice flavor that complimented the unique taste of goat meat. My favorite dessert in a long time is their Black Pepper Gelato. The very definitive peppery flavor was complimented with saltiness, sweet, creamy and sugary elements. It hit every not right. I'd have another right now, if I could. While eating, my neighbors shared their impressions of their meals and we all agreed, this was quite the place. With so many interesting options, I can't wait to return.

A genuinely delicious meal at a truly unique and interesting restaurant! My friends and I went for dinner after hearing very promising things. We ordered the scallops, the capellini with crab, veal tortellini, a nduja pasta, an English pea pasta dish, the guinea hen, and the lamb, and the sake lee cake for dessert. Everything is so delicious. Our favorites were definitely the capellini and the dessert. The pasta is cooked well (perfectly al dente) and the sauce was beautifully creamy. The cake was also so moist and has a wonderfully light flavor. The winning element across all of these dishes were the sauces - just so amazing! We definitely thought about asking for more bread just to sop up the remaining sauces. The restaurant itself was so uniquely decorated, which really leans into the theme set by the namesake. A particularly surprising design choice is how the bathrooms are decorated - definitely worth a visit in its own haha. The only downside is that it's relatively expensive, especially considering how small the portions are. But overall, the food was delicious and the vibes were just so fun. It's definitely a great venue for a cool (albeit pricey) night out with friends.

After our initial dinner plans became thrown into disarray on a recent Friday, my wife and I found ourselves just a few blocks from Foul Witch and decided to give it a shot despite having no reservation. We put our names down and 1.5 hours later were settled in at the end of the bar with a view of the open kitchen (best seats in the house, IMO). We ordered the Osetra Caviar & Hachiya Persimmon, Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, Linguini with Sea Urchin, and Veal Tortellini. I thoroughly enjoyed the latter three dishes which were all delicious and unique in flavor from each other. This was a perfect sampling of the menu for us. The atmosphere and service are both excellent. The host, Claire, was very helpful in ensuring we got seated at a spot we desired. Foul Witch is a fun and original dining experience which I would highly recommend.

I'm sure because this place kind-of beats to it's own drum, that's the main reason for such mixed reviews. I personally was a fan and enjoyed my experience. As always I jotted down some notes during my time, please enjoy- Fire & Ice: an interesting tasting experience on the plate, the nduja sausage mixed with the creamy stracciatella cheese is both unique but also comforting. It's a combo I've never had before but one I enjoy. Two different textures and flavors that seemingly wouldn't blend well that kind of do. While this was a cool way to start off the meal, it wasn't my favorite bite and it you need to edit something off the list to try; start here. Oh! This is also an off-menu item and might not always be available. Table bread & butter: Call be crazy but this is some of the richest, creamiest butter I've had. Even the bread itself has an unqcious creamy quality to it. Specifically the (focaccia?) bread. Purple potato's and Roe: - boy is this expensive but good. The butter berblanc sauce is heavy enough to be paired with the potatoes but still light enough to not overwhelm the rest of the meal. The pops of raffle fish roe and bursts of saltiness with every bite. Incredible and delicious. Veal Tortellini: - not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this. The pasta pockets sit in a beautiful savory with a hot of sweet broth. The crevices in the noddles catch some of this while the tortellini itself is filled with a delicate light cream. Bay leaf ice cream: - tart and tangy, velvety smooth. The savory notes from the fresh zing of the huckleberry paired with the crisp savory garnish, this is the perfect type of desert This entire meal would have been better to split for 2. These are small, tapas style dishes. Service was lovely I sat at the bar and the bartender offered great suggestions to help me create a nice meal! Vibe: - from the food to the atmosphere- funky and quirky - Club like music that makes you question if you're at a warehouse party in Berlin. I get the 'spooky' theme/ vibes but this is a scene that's hard to describe, cave like, this place feels underground I had a fun time, but I don't know if I'm running back in the next week. This is definitely the type of place you come when you want something a little different from the norm. 4/5

My partner and I have been wanting to try Foul Witch for quite some time, and have heard nothing but rave reviews from some friends who have been a couple of times, so when we walked by and were lucky enough to snag 2 walk-in seats at the bar (~6pm on a Sunday), we were ecstatic. Oh, and if you couldn't tell by the 5 star review, we enjoyed our meal quite a bit. While it was pricey for a casual dinner, it is an excellent date spot (ambiance and all). Also - sitting at the comfortable bar leaves you right next to the open kitchen, so you get to see all of the magic in action. While we came for the wine (such an extensive and unique list), we stayed for the food. What an incredible gastronomic menu, all items which pair well with wine (I mean most food does anyway). The bartender, Alexis, was incredibly friendly and either verified or suggested items when we were choosing what to do for dinner. She was also ON IT with water refills and playing / setup, and was easy to approach when we needed something ( which could be a rarity at many spots of this calibre in Manhattan). Food-wise we ended up ordering a few dishes, the anchovies, the veal tortellini, the Oxtail Fazzoletti, the goat shoulder, and the sake lees cake for dessert (a lot of food, but we ended up finishing everything, it was that good). It was difficult to pick a favorite, but the goat was an incredible protein choice (honestly wouldn't have guessed it was goat) - flavorful and super easy to cut (not too gamey or fatty) and paired well with the charred scallions and turnips. Also - do not pass up on their bread and butter (they gave us a slice of each focaccia and baguette) - paired well with every dish and also great "in between course" palate cleaner. We will definitely be back and hope we get to experience sitting at the bar again!

The veal ravioli was to die for. It's been months (we went in the summer) and I'm still thinking about it. It's our Roman Empire. The bread & butter was amazingly fresh and my friend literally said she wanted to rub the butter on her body she loved it so much (if it's not special butter this would be hilarious). The carpaccio was so flavorful and complex. I cannot stress enough how great this meal was. Service was amazing. I am a water whore so even if I felt bad (and asked for a carafe) the waitress was ON TOP of things and I never had to ask for a refill she just refilled it like a magical little water fairy. Because of the food and the service I'm giving this five stars even if I did have a few nitpicky comments: Decor could be WITCHIER. Hang some herbs! Just kidding, but it would be cute. My only REAL complaint is that I hate the chairs on the high tops but I am a long life hater of bar stool type chairs- especially hard wood- for a dining experience. I'm short I won't subtract any points because the food was THAT good but I wish I could sit happily. Secondly, I am not a fan of their ice cream (my whole table wasn't but it was a savory ice cream which is just obviously not my cup of tea). I had more pictures and usually they're clear but I was so enthralled by the food I couldn't even be bothered haha

Foul Witch is delicious! The free bread is nuts. We started with a salad, the puntarelle, got some wine and a couple of pastas, and finished with the sorbet. The chitarra with Dungeness crab and veal tortellini are insane. The broth for the tortellini is addicting. For dessert, we had the peach and tomato sorbets. So refreshing for the end of the summer. I wish I could try all of their pastas and desserts! Excited to come back. We walked in at 6pm on a Sunday night for 2 and sat at a high counter by the bar without any wait. Service was perfect and the ambiance was nice! It wasn't too crowded around this time.

First time here at Foul Witch and it was honestly very surprising. I don't know much when it comes to Italian cuisine so my review doesn't have any frame of reference on how these dishes taste anywhere else but every single one was fantastic! The meal was paced well and we took many recommendations from our server. She was fantastic and really made the experience very easy going. She even helped with wine pairing. The standout dish to me was the Veal Tortellini. The flavour really stood out and I would probably go back and order two next time. The space is nicely lit and was never too loud or too quiet. Not very large so would definitely recommend a reservation.
