A Voce Madison

We went to A voce for new eve and the food was not bad but fake The pasta really untasty and my entree was a fish inside water sauce unbelievable The only good thing was the bread and the appetizers offer and also the pumpkin cake I never go back ....

I travel to NY quite often and consider myself well versed in the NY Restaurant scene. So when the bellman at my hotel recommended this place I did not go with great expectations. What I found was one of the better (if not best) new age Italian Restaurants that I have found in quite some time. The decor is trendy but with a warmth that most contemporary designs lack. We had no reservation, and the place was full, but the host was more than welcoming and found us a table shortly. The wine list is fantastic and has more Brunello's than you would typically find. The Somelier was very gracious and knowledgable and helped us explore a new (and well priced) Sangiovese. The service was attentive. But the best part was the food. Our small group decided to try a wide range of items and have them served family style so we could taste everything from the trout to the chicken liver ravioli. And everything was amazing. Not only was the food great but the portions were more than expected. I highly recommend you try a trio of cheeses at the end of the meal. They have a vary unique pairing of cheeses and sweets. I highly recommend this to anyone that appreciates Italian food with a flair.

I went back with my friend rocket to Avoce only because the short blondie manager left. We had a decent night, same food, ricotta, cassoncini, raviolini.. sounds like Shamwow.. The big lady chef wasnt there, they said she is running Avoce Columbus. I was happy that they were busy again, i heard that they had problems with tipping but looks like they fix it, so the staff and the restaurant work well and the customers are happy. Keep the good work Avoce thank you, and rocket..

I had made reservations for a party of 10 at 7:30pm. First two guests in my party checked in at 7:35 and the rest of us ten minutes later at 7:45. At that time I was told it would be a few minutes. Then a very pushy man came outside and forced us to sit outside and drink as it would be 40 min. until we could be seated. I was very upset (especially because I told him we didn't want to drink), but nevertheless, we waited. An hour and 45 minutes, we were still NOT SEATED, and I went inside to find out what was going on. What happened is that they never really has a table for us, and that they lied to us for almost 2 hours saying that we would be seated soon. After close to two hours or waiting and still NO TABLE, we decided to leave and get burgers because we were famished (oh yeah, and no one came out to check on us, offer us appetizers and/or apologize. Our dinner bill would have easily been over $1000, but the people at A VOCE have zero courtesy, business savvy or common courtesy. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND SPEND IT SOME PLACE THAT EARNS IT.

Just came back from dinner at A Voce. The service was great, the food was absolutely delicious and the ambiance (we sat outside) was relaxed and comfortable. We will definitely go back again. My friend went there the other night and had a similar experience... Looks like whatever issues they were having earlier in the year have been ironed out.

The atmosphere was great, but that was the only positive. It was hard to understand what the staff said. we asked for more bread but it never came. We asked for no cheese on our pasta, but they put cheese all over it. The dinner and dessert were both unpleasant Save the time and money and go elsewhere.

The service was good, very friendly. Nice atmosphere. One of the appetizers was beautifully plated and tasty. Was not pleased with the second, which had a dusted cheese on top that was below the quality that this restaurant should be serving. I had fish as a main course, which was so salty that I could not tell you if it was tasty or interesting. The greens that I had with it were not cooked with love and had that unfortunate cheese dusted all over the top. This restaurant used to be very good, but heard that the old chef left so go figure. Hopefully they will get their act together or else they will not last.
