Critic Reviews

The New York Times 02/11/08

The chef who cooked for years at Spiaggia in Chicago is keeping the kitchen at A Voce operating at a high level. - Frank Bruni

New York Magazine star star Critic's Pick  

Unless, perhaps, you're a devout Daniel Boulud fan, it's difficult to be disappointed with any of this food. - Adam Platt

Time Out New York star star star star 11/13/08

Italian-food fiends willing to push through the mob will be amply rewarded. Robbins, no second-string draft pick, is as bold and elegant a cook as the man she replaced. She’s stacked the deck with a midautumn menu rich in simple, lusty fare—warm, cozy dishes delivered with drama in cast-iron crocks and big copper pots.

The New Yorker 06/12/06

For the past few years, Andrew Carmellini has been a Cyrano de Bergerac of sorts on the New York restaurant scene, sweeping diners off their feet while under the aegis of other, better known chefs (most recently Daniel Boulud, at Cafe Boulud). - Andrea Thompson

I visited A Voce three time over the past two weeks, but I still can't understand what the hype is all about. The menu is at best uninspired, many dishes show off their flavors in a much too aggressive manner (for example, the duck meat balls are interesting, but the heavy, honey-sweetened sauce completely overshadows the duck flavor). Friendly and efficient service, comfortable Eames chairs, but as a Cafe Boulud fan, I miss the finesse the chef had displayed uptown...

Wonderful interpretations of Italian classics become delicious American/Italian cuisine. Modern Italian decor is a bit harsh and not particularly comfortable. Service is far weaker than performance of the kitchen.
