“ I hosted a corporate event at Sesamo and rented out the restaurant for a passed dinner. The space was perfect! We had a group of 40 people, plus used a corner of the room for a custom hat bar. We were able to easily accommodate everyone. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful. I worked with Sabrina to make the experience happen. She did a wonderful job with everything and was very easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend Sesamo for your next event! ”
“ This restaurant was absolutely amazing!! We went on a Sunday evening, no wait, great food and great service. Our waitress was also our hostess and bartender and never missed a beat! We ordered the caesar salad to split. 2 of us ordered the tempura chicken parmesean, pappardelle and added clams, and the duck ragu rigatoni! Everything was simply delicious!!! ”
“ We were really delighted with our dinner. Started with a great gem salad and burrata. Excellent agnolotti with pesto...really nice! And the chicken parm was perfect. Not too much sauce or cheese on it and the chicken was both crispy and tender. The pasta accompaniment was also really good. Excellent service from start to finish. Nice chilled, local neighborhood vibe. Im happy to have finally tried this spot as Ive wanted to for some time. And based on our experience, well definitely be back. ”

“ We went here for lunch, and both the chef and staff were fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the mealthe calamari, lasagna, and burger were all delicious. The wasabi burger was especially unique and absolutely amazing! While the interior isnt particularly fancy, the food easily rivals that of some upscale restaurants in the city. Their housemade vodka sauce was outstanding as well. ”

“ We came here for dinner on a Friday. I ordered a drink mixed sake cocktail but found it too sweet and i could not taste much alcohol. Other than that the food is very good. Shy of Michelin star standards but they are intentionally seasoned and well made. We ordered from their fall menu, which is a good selection. Overall I am very happy with the food, especially the Plum and the Beretta starters. I recommend checking out this place at least once, and see if their Asian Italian fusion suits your taste. I believe the service and the food wont disappoint. The decor is warmly, especially on a a rainy day. I live in the neighborhood, and find the ambience here to be one of the best for datesnice dinners. Try it out! ”
