  • Muy delicioso
  • Amazing Sangria
  • Easy to get hooked on

Havana Village Alma De Cuba tucked in a cozy street corner in the heart of the west village. Exudes the aroma and flavor of an authentic Cuban restaurant. The Romantic Milieu of Havana effortlessly transports you from Manhattan to Cuba. The rhythmic palpatations of salsa and merengue and the extraordinary sense of exotic dishes permeate the air. We offer live music every weekend. And, our menu is filled with nothing but the finest cuisine. We offer extraordinary Cuban, Latin and Spanish dishes and our signature Sangria. All of which fuels this trendy part of the West Village with plenty of Cuban soul. A Vibrant Little Gem In The West Village

Awesome! 5 Star Rating - World class

Went in the dead of winter with a few girlfriends. We were promptly seated in the outside area as requested, it has a cute tent over it so you are warm but your still siting out in the garden. It is a bit crowded back there but after a few mojitos you dont even notice. We had two pitchers of mojitos, coconut and regular, delicious! Our food was delicious, our bill was reasonably priced! We were having such a good time that without noticing we closed out the restaurant. We weren't even rushed out and when we apologized for taking so long they encouraged us to stay longer! After we cleared our table we hung out by the bar and smoked cigars. It was the best and most unexpected tuesday night! And we will definetly return. I recommend this place to everyone, it can be romantic and fun!

Pros: Everything
Cons: A little tight in the back

Awesome Brunch 5 Star Rating - World class

Went for brunch this past weekend and can't believe what a deal it was. Food was excellent and very flavorful - I had the ropa vieja and my sister had the arroz con pollo. Portions were generous, and for only $14, brunch came with cafe con leche as well as a giant pitcher of sangria (the sangria alone is over $30 on the dinner menu). Nice ambiance and friendly service as well. Can't think of a better way to spend a lazy weekend morning.

Pros: food, brunch prices, service, atmosphere

Excellent food and atmosphere! 4 Star Rating - Very good

Excellent food!! Romantic atmosphere. Don't sit outside if raining. If you don't like very loud music, sit in the back room. Good service. Could get expensive once alcohol is involved.

Great food and atmosphere 4 Star Rating - Very good

We made a last minute reservation on a Saturday night for 4. The restaurant was full but we got a table outside, very nice and more quiet.
Two of us took a mojito and it was excellent! The food was very good and the good point is they didn't rush to give us the check after we were done.
I would definitively recommand this restaurant.

Cons: Ambience, price
