A Michelin-recommended Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side, Sempre Oggi is driven by the market — shaped by the season, the farms we trust, and what arrived that morning. We believe there is beauty in simplicity: house-made pastas, a signature roast chicken, and a kitchen that lets great ingredients speak for themselves. The room feels like a Milanese apartment — casually elegant, stylish, and comfortable in its own skin.The bar opens at 4 for aperitivi. The dining room opens at 4:30 for dinner. Brunch Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11. Ten minutes from Lincoln Center and directly across from the Beacon Theatre.

    We love this place for dinner, and occasionally for brunch on a weekend, but we seldom think of it for lunch. We should. The same high level of service, the same high quality of varied offerings, and the same fair prices as at other meals, with a pleasant and nicely mannered crowd of relaxed diners. A top of the hat to Lisa, the manager on duty when we were there. She keeps things humming, and does her best to meet requests for specific tables, and the like.
