Hearth is everything the word implies...a warm, comfortable restaurant with hospitality as its goal. Chef Marco Canora's cuisine employs seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients prepared with an Italian influence.
"The Bloody Mary at Hearth is to die for. Absolutely the best drink in town. We got excellent service from vaitors that knew their stuff. We ate lunch, the food and the mood at Hearth was excellent."

"I sat at the kitchen counter, and had the tasting menu, which is a different experience than what most people have at Hearth, but however particular my experience was, I loved it. I felt the shades of the heat and sensed some of the pressure of the kitchen, and was all the happier for it. The food seemed to be something happily shared with me by my servers and the kitchen. That's a rare thing, and really special."

"Do the tasting menu! Just do it. You won't be disappointed, or leave hungry, or leave like you've paid for more than you rec'd. Everything was delicious and it forced us to try things we wouldn't have usually (and love them). Our server was excellent, well versed on the wine list and recommended a unique and enjoyable wine for our dinner. The pre-dinner martini at the bar was excellent- exactly what I wanted and didn't even know it created on a whim by the bartender. Overall, it was a great dining experience in NYC."

"I have been to Hearth 3 times in the last year, and each time it is a wonderful experience. The food is delicious without being overbearing, the servers are all super friendly and helpful, and the ambience is fun with the tables pleasantly arranged. I recommend this place for dinner with friends that don't mind spending a bit more, dinner with parents visiting from out of town, or a special occasion. Thank you, Hearth, for another relaxing and enjoyable dining experience."

"From the moment we walked in, until the moment we left, everything was perfect. We had theater tickets after dinner, the staff seamlessly coordinated our 7 course meal to be right on time, but not at all rushed. The good was amazing, the lamb rib blew my mind, not to be missed! The staff was warm, welcoming, and overall amazing. For all this greatness, the price was very reasonable, this is a go-to for a special night, an impressive date, or to take your parents... Amazing."

"Yes, the charcuterie platter for 2 was amazing...make sure you also order the foie gras terrine with it. The other amazing staple here is the Veal Ricotta Meatballs. We also had the grilled quail as an appetizer and it was oh so tender. I highly recommend this restaurant, it's not hard to get in and the food is definitely top quality."

"We were looking forward to dining at Hearth, but was very disappointed. The pro's: Service was excellent, our waitress was very professional, great attitude and very knowledgable. The cons: Ordered a Mesculin salad, that came out sandy. I was asked if there was something else I would like, but I wanted the same salad without the sand in it. To my surprise, the chef/owner said that the salad was washed prior to receiving and again washed in the restaurant so to serve another one wouldn't be any different than the first one served. Are you kidding me! I just wanted my lettuce washed. Then the entree's came, a piece of tile fish was a maximum of 3 ounces, @$32.00, REALLY! Remember, not accomodating the customer will NOT pay your bills."

"This was my 6th time dining at Hearth and it has become my new favorite restaurant in the city. The food is always inspired and executed brilliantly. The service is even better. I am a business owner and I do not know how they do it so well."

"So we travel to NYC on occasion and its always refreshing to find a great new place, like Hearth..... So we would highly recommend Hearth, great and interesting food, along with excellent service. It's not really a kids place, but we had our with us on this trip, and again the staff there took great care of them too."

"Casual yet elegant.Rustic but refined. The food was excellent. We shared the Cote deBoeuf. The server was great. But for some reason, there was an almost uncomfortable amount of time between courses. Maybe Marco needs a bigger kitchen(?) Still our favorite spot in the East Village. I'll certainly go back again, but next time I'll ask to sit at the Chef's table!
We always stop in at Terroir, their wine bar around the corner, to start the evening. We tried two wines form Chateau Musar that were both excellent values. I never had Lebanese wine before, but I'm a fan now.
It might sound corny, but, we like to check out the Food Network chef's places wherever we go. We'll definitely keep this restaurant in our rotation! ;)"

"The food was really well thought out and amazingly delicious. Was seated in the bar area which had music that wasn't really good for dining and a little loud. The waiter was a bit surly and rushed at first but he recommended a really good wine so I forgive him."

"I recommend the quail, foie and crudo appetizers. A little disappointed with entree options overall. I ordered the sea bass dish and it just wasnt anything great. Dessert is a must have. Got both chocolate cake and carrot cake sundae. AMAZING! Service is friendly and I got to meet Cef Canora! Overall good dining experience."

"Tasting menu was pleasant but only occasional items were spectacular. The raw salmon with candied Kale leaves was particularly good. The restaurant was horribly understaffed aeven when not at full capacity so service was alternatingly attentive when someone was in my area and absent for long periods otherwise. I received the bill without being asked if I wanted coffee or an after dinner drink which I find to be usual in fine restaurants."

"Went to hearth to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Sat at "the pass". It was terrific. The food was amazing. The service was awesome. 4 seats overlooking the kitchen. We were able to chat with the friendly chefs and watch them prepare the delicious food. We can't wait to go back and order the other fabulous creations we didn't order. It is the perfect restaurant. Just wish it was in fla. FYI. The salad was huge. The pasta delish and my husband said the salmon was the best he ever had."

"I went with my family for Mother's Day. The menu was somewhat limited, especially for vegitarians. We all seemed to have trouble finding something that we really wanted on the menu. There was an interesting tasting menu to choose from, but only available for the entire table (which was mainly meat dishes). The ambiance was "nothing special." One person in the group ordered two half portions of pasta selections and she was the most pleased of the group. Two of us ordered two appetizers instead of an entre because nothing appealed to us in the entre selection. The appetizer portions were very small and I would have appreciated knowing that in advance. Would only return if I lived in the neighborhood, but not worth travelling to."

"I really enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. The server was very helpful and convincing with helping me with my choice selections for dinner. I was not disappointed. Hearth's Charcuterie offering was very unique, I've never seen cured duck on the board before. For the main dish, you'll be impressed with the black sea bass bathed in smoked bacon miso broth."

"Great experience here. The chef and staff were very accomodating, preparing the chef's tasting menu for half vegetarian/half omnivores. We were celebrating a wedding, and they were very nice, giving us complimentary champagne. All in all a great experience. It is pricey, but perhaps earns what it charges."

"Lovely place in the East Village that takes food seriously. Polite staff that's well educated in the day's menu. Nice wine list (lots of rieslings currently on the list). Flattering soft lighting. Terrific background music (hits from the '70s and '80s). All around, a casually elegant experience."

"The atmosphere was warm and lovely. We had the tasting menu. The savory dishes were tasty, but not spectacular. There was a sameness of flavors across them (many featured peas) that got a little boring. The desserts, on the other hand, were all outstanding. The wine selection was also very nice and we received solid recommendations from the sommelier."

"Underwhelming at brunch. Bizarre, limited menu. Not what I had expected after reading so many good things. No attention paid to what we needed to eat our meal. We had to ask for additional plates, cutlery, napkins, butter, etc. Scones and side of potatoes--served on the smallest plates I've ever seen in a restaurant. Every single thing we ordered, whether it said so or not, had tomatoes in it. The "Bruschetta" was flavorless and unsatisfying--as well as a small portion for the price. The meatballs on polenta were very good, but an odd idea for brunch. Maybe they should stick to dinner...people seem to like it a lot!"

"We were looking for a special dining experience to celebrate our daughter's engagement and we were not disappointed with our evening at Hearth. Our waiter, Jefferson, was knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive to detail. He brought us a complementary glass of sparkling chardonnay after learning of the reason for our dining. We had the prixe fix menu and each item tasted as good as it looked. Can't wait until we're back in NYC to return."

"My girlfriend and I had heard good things, famous chef, great ambiance, etc. But in all honesty, the food was bland, everything was missing "something." The wine list was nice, but two consecutive (varying) glasses had turned for the worse. The service was friendly and timely, we'll ignore that they broke a glass at our table, because his recovery was so charming and professional. This is all about FOOD FOOD FOOD. It was average at best. A shame because everything else was well above board."

"Sunday night, early, group of seven. Notable food which stands up to NYC high level of competition. Service friendly, energetic but not intrusive. Perfect for foodies, locavores and good wine list. Can get seats at the kitchen counter if you want to see the chefs hustling. I have added Hearth to my list of NYC favorites."

"We had a superb meal at Hearth on Saturday. We were seated near the open kitchen so we were able to watch the chef and his team in action. All four of us had the tasting menu. The portions were responsibly sized, the plates well thought out and beautifully presented. The wine list is truly amazing (many unique bottles) and the staff are conversant in the huge list. Service is attentive and pleasant. We will definitely go back."

"Food was outstanding. Service was great and they observed the request I made for the host to greet my daughter in honor of her birthday. One of the guests, and I, shared the fish and my daugher loved the smoked chicken breast. Desserts of the doughnuts and the banana with chocolate ice cream were great choices as well. This was our third visit and Hearth has never disappointed us."

"It is delicious! We had the chef selection tasting menu with pairings from the bar. Every dish/drink was a surprise, and what was extra unique...the chef selection changes from table to table..whatever he/she feels like! Perfect proportions with a variety of craft drinks from the bar...sherry, wine, beer, vodka soda, etc. While you might think that the mix would make your stomach turn, it's enough to taste and bring out flavors in your dish. We were not hungry or thirsty!! The wait staff works as a single unit, everyone helping at every table. Small candles on every table, with a mix of brick, wood, warm red ceilings, it's a romantic , relaxing environment!"
