Pasta Happ Hour at Epistrophy and Le Fanfare
Epistrophy and Le Fanfare are now offering live jazz music on Sunday evenings as well as a pasta happy hour on select weekdays. Inspired by their small hometown in Sardinia, Italy, the restaurants have become neighborhood staples with menus that showcase the rustic fare reminiscent of their roots, highlighting dishes like housemade pastas and traditional Sardinian classics, alongside locally sourced ingredients from New York farms.
On weekdays from 3:30-6:30pm, Epistrophy offers a pasta happy hour, which consists of three popular pasta dishes, Rigatoni Bolognese Ragu, Pappardelle ai Funghi, and Trofie Pesto, all featuring housemade pastas for $12 each. The happy hour menu also features rotating cocktail, wine, and beer specials.
Le Fanfare offers a pasta happy hour all night on Monday-Wednesdays, featuring Pappardelle with beans and mussels, Tagniolini with mushrooms and parmigiano fondue, and Spaghetti with octopus, bottarga and chives for $15 each.
On Sunday evenings from 7-9 PM, both restaurants offer live jazz music, featuring local musicians and occasionally a performance from owner Luca Fadda himself.
