Experiences

  • 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

    From the minute we arrived, we were greeted and treated in a professional and friendly manner. Our wait-person Emma was top-notch and guided us through the menu and made sure what we ordered met our needs for a table of three! The food was prepared and presented as described and quality exceeded any expectations we may have had. Congratulations to the Chef and entire staff at “Sempre Oggi”!

    After I got over the demise of Cesca (the restaurant that used to be in this space), I made my first visit to its successor with a party of five, mid-week. The space is sleek and upscale, albeit slightly confusing from a decor standpoint. (Why was our table nook divided on one side by a rattan screen and on the other side by a sort of grill made of tree-trunk slices mounted on iron rods?) The service was prompt and friendly. The food was delicious, but invariably a bit too rich and bit too heavy than it needed (or I wanted it) to be. Even the vegetables! The carrots -- which were fabulous -- were drenched in an olive oil/herb sauce and crusted with pistachio nuts. Even the salads were a bit overdressed. I will almost certainly return, but only after skipping lunch that day.

    The food was terrific, the servers appeared to have more important things to do than being attentive to guests; presentation of menu was slow, refills were slow and presentation of check was slow.

    Okay - we love to try out a new neighborhood restaurant. And this one is in a very nice location with a big space to work with. Decor was fine. Lunch - not so much! Half the menu displayed online wasn't even offered - disappointing as there wasn't really that much to pick from otherwise. The beverage menu is quite substantial and large though. Seeing that there were very few patrons, you'd think the waitress would be alert to see if anybody needed anything - she was either chatting up the person behind the bar, or ? We doubt we will go back - but you can try if you want somewhere that looks upscale near Beacon Theater.

    An amazing dining experience on the upper west side. The Veal Milanese must be included in the best of New York when talking about this dish.
