I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The menu offered a wide variety of delectable dishes that catered to all tastes and dietary preferences. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's attention to detail. The drink selection was impressive, with a diverse range of beverages to complement the meal. What truly stood out to me was the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing exceptional service throughout my visit. In addition to the culinary delights and impeccable service, the prices were reasonable, considering the high quality of the food and the overall experience. I felt like I was getting great value for my money. The layout of the restaurant was well-designed, with comfortable seating arrangements that provided privacy while still allowing for a lively and social atmosphere. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings added to the overall aesthetic appeal. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two, a casual gathering with friends, or a special celebration, this place has it all. From the delicious food and drinks to the inviting ambiance and attentive service, it truly offers an exceptional dining experience.
I love this place.
The service is great. The fresh made bread with whipped ricotta is amazing. The tuna tartare with golden beets is the perfect balance of savory with a slight sweet element from the beets. The bean and kale soup was flavorful and a decent portion for soup. Also my favorite is the eggplant. It has the looked of traditional eggplant Parmesan but this is not your regular everyday thing this is a real treat. The eggplant taste grilled with a smoky flavor, smooth cheese texture and light sauce. With some light toasted bread crumb topping.
Solid food but it depends what you get.
Is this place necessarily hype-proportionate? I don't really think so but the meal was still enjoyable.BLACK TRUFFLE POACHED BURRATA If you're a fan of burrata you will def enjoy this. We also got the bread appetizer to have something to pair with it since the restaurant itself doesn't do bread service. Unfortunate circumstance. I like burrata but not in love with it so this was just ok for me. The cherry tomatoes add a nice brightness and pop of texture in an otherwise creamy, smooth milky texture and experience.PESTO - this was very savory, and I can't believe I'm gonna say this but too savory? I've had lots of pesto and have made it multiple times and something about the flavor was just off - it starts to taste like pesto but then it tapers and becomes this strong savoriness or some other flavor that overpowers anything else. Also I don't believe that straight noodles (a pasta type with no ridges) is the best pairing for a sauce like pesto. The texture was a little overcooked and thus too soft.AGNOLOTTI ** this was really good and had multiple dimensions of flavor including the truffle but also some sweetness and savoriness. Agnolotti was done al dente and had a satisfying chewiness. If you come here I would get this.
My experience dining at Cucina Alba was awful.
The service was terrible, they were trying to rush us out of the restaurant the entire time when I was catching up with friends and celebrating my brithday. They kept pouring half glasses of wine in still half full glasses to ultimately charge us for 17 glasses which is pretty absurd (if we had actually consumed that much we probably wouldn't be able to stand! Ha we were totally fine). Then right before my birthday dessert was coming out the manager rudely came to our table to say we couldn't order anything else. I think because we had prepaid $700 through the Dorsia app and there was a guaranteed 20% so they had no reason to provide good service. Even when we got up to leave we asked the bartender what the problem was and he said we definitely didn't do anything wrong and was just as confused.
My fiancé and I really wanted to like this place as we
My fiancé and I really wanted to like this place as we came across it from mutual referrals. We opted to book this restaurant to celebrate the Q1 success of my fiancé's businesses. However, the racial prejudice that accompanied our experience leaves little room to label this establishment as noteworthy. My fiancé booked a 10pm reservation for the dining area. Upon promptly checking in the racist hostess informed that we would have to wait at the bar until an available table opened. No problem. 10 minutes into waiting she comes over to inform us that our reservation is for the, "chef's counter," and not the, "dining area." She then proceeds to tell us that she'd be happy to accommodate us at a table but warns that the kitchen is to close shortly. My fiancé pulls up the reservation to which blatantly states, "dining area." We ask the server to bring back the hostess to where we're seated to clarify and she informs that the "chef's counter," is the dining area. For clarification purposes: If a booking site offers you multiple options for seating arrangements it's because there are various areas to sit. If your chosen area could be substituted for other areas there'd be no need to list out the various seating assignments to begin with. Not only did the hostess BLATANTLY LIE to us about a reservation that we (clearly) made but she then proceeded to try to recover from her first lie by lying AGAIN about what the option of seating that we selected meant. To make matters worse, patrons of a different racial background sitting beside us had no reservation but were able to move to a table before we were during this entire ordeal. Note to Owner: If you're going to open an establishment in NYC in 2023, have enough common sense to understand that your crowd will encompass the melting pot that is NYC and NOT just your racist ideology of what you consider to be "perfect ambiance." 0 STARS! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! & we'll be sending this out to family, friends, & followers. Silver Lining: The servers are out of this world. Customer service A+
Went here for dinner on a Friday night and it was a great
Went here for dinner on a Friday night and it was a great time! The restaurant itself is beautiful and elegant, but not stuffy, even if it is a little hard to get to on public transportation.For food, we had the focaccia and ricotta to start which was honestly the best thing we ordered - it's a can't miss. Also ordered the meatballs which were very good. For dinner, we had the bolognese and the signature truffle fonduto pasta. Both were every good as well.Service was very friendly, although at times was a little intense when it came to clearing the tables. My friend had her plate and knife taken away mid-use because they were ready to deliver our entrees. Super strange, but done in a way that seemed like it was trying to be accommodating?Overall, I'd recommend but would say try to get a later seating as that might help with the feeling rushed through courses/places cleared.

welcoming staff--delicious food--great descriptions from server and manager--eggplant parm app is so good that's why I went back but really everything was delicious--fun room--music good but not too loud that you can't converse--all around really good spot and look forward to next visit
Had the chance to come back for my second meal at Cucina
Had the chance to come back for my second meal at Cucina Alba. WOW. What an experience. We got to sit at the chefs counter which I would highly suggest if date night for 2. Cant go wrong with either focaccia and we loved the lobster linguine and black truffle agnolotti. We also had two deserts, can't remember the names thanks to the wine (great suggestion by the Somm). One desert was a cake with cannoli crust and the other was a white chocolate tiramisu. Unreal. Wheel me home please and thank you.
I really enjoyed Cucina Alba.
Service was good, food came out fast (shockingly fast haha) and the food we had was really good. I'd say the one main we ordered (chicken) was good but small for the price, so we probably won't repeat. However, highly recommend the pastas, the artichoke app, and either the white tiramisu or the almond dessert to end the meal if you have a sweet tooth. The pastas also seem to change up from time to time, as the items I saw other past diners post weren't available on the menu the night we were there, and even now as I look at the latest menu, some of the pastas we ordered have been swapped out. On the one hand, kind of sad as I was obsessed with the crab pasta we got!! But good news is there will always be something new to try, and it does seem some might be classics that are more commonly available. The truffle agnolotti may be that, and it reminded me of my favorite pasta at Don Angie - slightly sweet though, in case you're not into that. The other dish people tend to order is the focaccia with whipped ricotta. The focaccia itself is amazing but the whipped ricotta (while texture is great) felt a little bland to me so I'd personally not order again.
Came here for a very late dinner last month and boy was it
Came here for a very late dinner last month and boy was it a treat! The service was good but the food was excellent. We had 2 ladies in the group that are GF and they were so accommodating and helpful with recommendations. We had a bunch of apps the salads were so tasty and fresh with in season ingredients. Everyone loved their entrees and the portions were much larger than we excepted which was a nice surprise. The wine options were great, I didn't have a cocktail but those who did said they enjoyed them. Definitely will be back when I'm in NYC again!
Great vibes and ambience.
Lovely servers and great date night spot or group hangout spot. Appetizers were so tasty. Loved the focaccia and whipped ricotta. So delicious. Eggplant parm good too. Truffle agnolotti very tasty. Pesto dish was fine. Note that the pastas aren't that large. Maybe overpriced for what you get. For 2 people though 2 apps and 2 pastas were great

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |

Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
How do I increase my bid?
And is this a good idea to do so soon after making the first bid?

On November 21, I successfully purchased a reservation for over $100 for a dinner reservation on December 8. On the same day (November 21), I paid $25 for the Name Transfer Service. It hasn’t even been initiated yet and I’ve contacted AT support 3 times with absolutely no response. Is this typical? I am concerned because my reservation date is 4 days away.

Give the best answerChanging # of people at a reservation
I had a reservation sell at an establishment around a month ago and is for tomorrow. The customer reached out to me today to ask if I can try to change the table size from 4 to 5. Supposedly they had reached out to the restaurant previously and they had said it was possible.
My worry is that the restaurant might proceed to cancel my reservation and as a result negatively impact my seller fulfillment percentage. What should I do in this position?

I have been trying to get help on this for the past 3 days with no luck.
I transferred all my money from my sale proceeds and apparently this included a credit line that Appointment trader gave me (how? Why? I never signed up for this)
Now my account balance has been under 0, and I’ve been getting charged INTEREST FEE every single day.
Now these things happen ok, but there is NO WAY i could find other than just selling another reservation. I even tried purchasing and cancelling a bid with hopes that my balance would recover.
I created support tickets, countless posts, emails. Please help me community.
This is so concerning that a platform just can charge a fee, and no one is there to fix the problem. Including myself. PLEASE HELP
