Aperitivo Hour
From a refreshing spritz to our signature Oggi Martini, pull up a seat at the bar for Aperitivo Hour. Join us starting at 4 PM every day, just steps from Central Park and the Beacon Theater, minutes from Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History.
Pair your cocktail with market-driven small plates that showcase the best ingredients of the season. Whether you're heading to a 7pm show at Lincoln Center, start with Aperitivo Hour at 4pm and move to dinner at 4:30pm — just enough time for a proper Italian meal at a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant before the curtain rises.
Reserve NowVinyl Night
Every Thursday evening, the bar at Sempre Oggi comes alive with analog sound. Beginning at 8 PM, our friend David Kastin shares selections from his personal vinyl collection. It's an eclectic mix designed to set the perfect mood for the rest of your evening — whether you're settling in for the night or winding down after a show at Lincoln Center or the Beacon Theater.
Sip on a spritz or a glass of Italian wine while you take in the music and the atmosphere of the room.
Reserve NowBrunch
Our brunch is quintessentially UWS with an Italian twist. Join us every Saturday and Sunday from 11am–2pm for a menu that blends tradition with seasonality. Dishes showcase our in-house pastas and fresh-baked focaccia, paired with the day’s best ingredients from New York City farms and markets.
