BODEGA

I have been wanting to try this for dinner since it opened last year as I love carbonara and this was FANTASTIC.

The ambiance is cute, not fancy but not casual. At night it’s intimate, dim lighting, candles and the decor of the wood and fake plants make it cute. It does get loud in there if it’s fully packed and seats are close together but it’s part of the dining experience. Sit at the bar or the second bar as it’s fun to watch the bartender make drinks and you can also sit next to your partner and hear them better.

Our server Alex was so attentive and it was his second day on the job and he always came to check on us, update us on drinks/food and always found out info if we had a question. Shoutout to him!

We tried the drip house martini and the Bodega NY sour. Found the drip house martini a tad too sweet so a bit less simple syrup would have been good but otherwise very smooth. The NY sour was not super sweet which was good but nothing too special so I’d skip this and try another cocktail. House red was really good, light but bold and not too dry and for $17 for half a litre, def worth it.

Focaccia with the ricotta was nice but the bread was soaked in oil, recommend trying the arancini. The carbonara has been the best I’ve had in the city so far with the egg on top and the perfect amount of cheese. They even used the right size pasta which is a thicker noodle like they do in Italy. Also tried the mortadella sandwich that was packed with meat and the pesto was so fresh with it.

Pistachio cannoli, highly recommend this one. Got the chocolate gelato but it didn’t really taste like gelato seemed more like regular ice cream.

Overall for price, ambiance, food and service I loved it here and this is now going to be our go to spot for date nights :).

**we’ve been back a second time already and they remembered us. Thanks Alex!**

Great new brunch spot in Hintonburgh. I strongly recommend the French Toast and bacon! Shout out to Val for the recommendations. Will have to come back and try their dinner menu!

Love this neighborhood spot for Italian comfort food! The pasta is always fresh and delicious and their happy hour deal cannot be beat! Staff are always welcoming and kind. You can always count on Dante behind the bar for a good story. Another hit by Driphouse!

I had the eggs Benny with salmon and it was very good. Hollandaise sauce was delicious, eggs perfectly cooked, and potatoes crispy. I also had a matcha latte with oat milk that was pretty good. Very quick service and nice staff!

The atmosphere is great, location is pretty good as well and there’s parking on the street as well as paid parking around. The service was okay, it was pretty busy so there were some delays. Great bottomless mimosas options. The food was okay. I personally ordered the “eggs in purgatory” and was unfortunately let down. The eggs while it is expected to have a runny yolk, the white part of the eggs were raw, clear and slimy, not cooked through. The waiter was nice enough to offer a 15% discount which was labeled as a “friends” discount. Considering I didn’t even eat half of the dish I would’ve expected better compensation. Otherwise overall decent service.

Vibe is amazing and comfortable. Ordered the Meatball Sub and it’s exceptional! The bread was so good, and the meatball was moist and flavorful. The fries were extra crispy and tasty, so good with the spicy mayo! Staff are very friendly and service was amazing. Highly recommend Bodega!!!

My friend Chris and I had a fantastic time at Bodega by Drip House. We shared the house focaccia with basil pesto, a glass of red wine, a basil mocktail, the smash burger, and the carbonara. For dessert we devoured the tiramisu. Every single item was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The staff were warm, friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the place was just perfect. We’re already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu!
