About

Le Serpent delivers a focused interpretation of Italian culinary traditions with a primary emphasis on meticulously crafted pasta dishes. The menu utilizes seasonal ingredients to construct complex flavor profiles while maintaining a commitment to accessibility through deliberate vegan options. Industrial aesthetics define the physical environment, characterized by expansive ceilings and exposed structural elements that frame the open layout. Diners interact with a rotating selection of plates that prioritize texture and precise seasoning over unnecessary ornamentation. The culinary approach centers on the balance between traditional techniques and contemporary preparation methods. Every dish reflects a dedication to authentic, high-quality components sourced to meet rigorous standards. This establishment functions as a definitive destination for individuals seeking a precise and unadorned experience rooted in classic Mediterranean influences and sophisticated, ingredient-driven cooking.

J'y suis allé pour mon anniversaire & c'était vraiment super. C'était une véritable expérience culinaire. La chef Vanessa était même venue nous décrire avec détails ce que nous mangions. Je vais m'en souvenir toute ma vie. Je le recommande très fortement. Merci au staff & chef Vanessa.

Went here for a business dinner. Place has a cool vibe although I don't think the AC was working the night we dined. It was a bit humid. We ordered a few apps to share & I ordered the veal as my main dish. I really enjoyed the veal dish as it was prepared in 2 ways & had many components that balanced each other well. The pasta dishes were good but nothing that blew me away. My favourite appetizers were the mushroom tart & the lamb tartare so would recommend those. The crudo was good but found some of the toppings overpowering such as the orange on the branzino. The desserts were very good! Would recommend the lemon ricotta dessert! The play on textures & freshness of the lemon was great. Overall great dining experience but for the price, dunno if it'll be a repeat customer.

Our bartender, Vicky, gave us wonderful suggestions for our appetizers & entrees. We had the Foie Gras-it was so good, we ordered another! Dinner was the Buccatini pasta & lobster risotto! Both were fabulous!

Apppetizers are great, the only main dish we like is the black truffle pasta. The rest is just fair fair.

The pasta is to die for. Top 5 pasta in town. It is pricey but a very worthy try.

I celebrated my birthday with my family at Le Serpent, & I honestly couldn't have picked a better place. The service was warm & attentive, the wine was excellent, & every dish was delicious. The crudo was definitely my favorite appetizer, & the veal as a main was outstanding. Everything was beautifully prepared & full of flavor.
A wonderful experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Le Serpent!

Cool & hip atmosphere. Good Italian food, high-end service. We were a group of 12 people & the service was surprisingly fast. We order & shared many dishes. They were all delicious. My only complaint is value for the price - the price seemed a bit expensive.

Good food, but not memorable enough for the price. Service could be better.
