Vic’s is a modern Italian restaurant on Great Jones Street in NoHo, run by Marc Meyer and Vicki Freeman, the restaurateurs behind Cookshop. It occupies the former home of their earlier restaurant Five Points, and locals return for seasonal pastas, well-made cocktails, and a dining room relaxed enough for a casual weeknight yet polished enough for a date.
The room is long and airy, with high ceilings, soft lighting, and generously spaced tables, so conversation carries without shouting. The menu changes with the market. Fresh pastas anchor the meal, supported by crudo, vegetable-forward antipasti, and hearty mains. Start with an aperitivo-style cocktail from the bar. Finish with the house limoncello, a bright, sweet-tart digestivo and the drink regulars mention most often. The service matches the room: attentive and warm without fuss.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book ahead for Thursday through Saturday dinners, when prime evening slots fill quickly. Early weeknight seatings or the bar offer better odds for walk-ins. Weekend brunch is a calmer, sunnier alternative to dinner. Order a few pastas to share across the table, and save room for limoncello. Menus and hours change seasonally, so confirm current details on the restaurant’s official site before visiting. The Bleecker Street (6) and Broadway–Lafayette (B, D, F, M) stations are a few minutes’ walk away. Bond Street’s galleries and Washington Square Park are within easy strolling distance for a pre-dinner walk.
