Is there a happy hour at Misi?
Misi is Missy Robbins’ pasta-and-vegetable temple on the South Williamsburg waterfront, the more casual follow-up to her acclaimed Lilia. Behind a wall of glass you can watch the pasta being made by hand, and the short menu of vegetable antipasti and hand-rolled shapes is some of the best in the city. It’s an elegant, pared-back room built around an open kitchen and a chef’s counter.
Expect a destination-dining experience rather than a casual drop-in. Reservations go through Resy and are worth planning for, though fifteen bar seats stay open for walk-ins each night. Pastas land around $27 to $32, so this is a treat-yourself dinner, not a budget outing.
What to Expect
There is no happy hour at Misi. The kitchen and bar run one seamless service focused on Robbins’ pastas and antipasti, with no discounted drink or food window. If you’re after a deal, grab one of the walk-in bar seats and order a couple of the smaller vegetable plates.
The Room
The dining room is minimalist and chic — concrete, warm wood, and a glass-enclosed pasta production room as the centerpiece. There are 98 seats total, including 35 around the open kitchen and 15 at the bar reserved for walk-ins. The mood is calm, grown-up, and design-forward.
