  • Vinyl Night

    Multiple dates available
    Thursdays from 8PM - 11PM Sempre Oggi welcomes David Kastin, who has been a DJ in New York for over 30 years, for a curated set from his personal record collection. I bought my first record in 1975. It was Aerosmith’s debut album. Ever since then I have had a love affair with vinyl. It all started with early 70’s rock, then into the late 70’s I was collecting disco ala Studio 54. Next was punk/post punk new wave and my collection grew significantly. In the late 80’s I discovered an old school NYC dance party DJed by none other than David Mancuso called The Loft and it changed my life. The Loft exposed me to so much music, one could hear almost anything from disco to funk, soul, house and rock and post punk it was so eclectic and inspiring

    Fabulous! From start to finish as we celebrated our anniversary the staff could not have been nicer! They quickly accommodated a table change and very discreetly Our server was bubbly and excited about each dish cocktail and wanted to genuinely know what we thought! We thought the cocktails were amongst the BEST I ever had ..perfect Manhattan and cosmo but the winner of the night was the potatoes (crunchy and soft inside piping hot and salt and Parmesan to perfection Silly I know but I was obsessed ...the crudo linguine veal were spectacular. The lemon desert was sublime Don't miss this special spot it's also beautiful inside

    I had a delicious meal tonight at Sempre Oggi. I started with a chicory salad that was heavenly, then had one of my favorite dishes here the halibut, which was perfectly cooked and served with tasty little potatoes. I can't wait to return here!

    We were expecting a typical croweded and noisy dinner at an upper west side restaurant on a fRiday night and were pleasantly surprised by the corner table we were given in a quieter section of the restaurant. I had actually asked, when I reserved, if we could be seated in a quiet spot, and so we were! A lovely evening heightened by our waiter's suggestion that we share the dishes we ordered, which we did, with delight all around the table. The branzino a particular hit with us!

    Excellent service in a wonderful and quiet atmosphere with very good food. We look forward to returning. Our only disappointment was that the wine pours seemed skimpy.

    We love the fresh pasta choices available here. Each of us selected a different pasta. My husband always orders the veal chop. He claims it is the best he’s ever eaten. The focaccia appetizer is enough for 4-5 people, as is the prosciutto. Our waitress made a couple of small mistakes in our order last night, but we still enjoyed our meal and will return again soon.

    Really cute spot but overpriced for bad food. Our eggs were so overcooked, they were dusty. The servers were super nice but forgot a drink order and condiment until we were basically done with the meal.

    I always look forward to dining at Sempre Oggi, and am never disappointed in the experience. From the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel welcome and taken care of. It is a beacon of gastronomy in uptown NYC (I cross the park from UES to dine there). Keep up the good work!
