“My husband and I have been going to Corto for several years now and have always loved this place - standout food, atmosphere and staff.

It went from being one of the spots we visited when we were first dating to the venue we chose for our ceremony and reception for our wedding. Theresa, Luis, Chef Ciccio, and the entire Corto team did SUCH an incredible job. They made us feel so cared for from our introductory chat to the end of the wedding day itself.

Every single guest commented on the incredible food, the professionalism and warmth of the staff, and what a special place Corto is - the team truly created the most magical evening for everyone involved.

Thank you so much. Corto will always hold such a special place in our hearts.“

Malatesta is officially the first restaurant in New York where I was truly overjoyed to leave a generous tip. They completely earned it.
The Italian food is phenomenal, capturing authentic flavors with flawless execution. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service is standout—attentive, warm, and highly professional. Finding a spot in NY that delivers this level of consistent quality and hospitality is rare. I cannot recommend Malatesta highly enough and will definitely be back.“

“It was a divine brunch in every way ! The service was exceptional and attentive. The Caesar salad was delicious and unlike any I have had before. The Pappardelle was a culinary masterpiece, truly and the tiramisu was beautifully designed. It was pure ambrosia, except for the whole coffee beans embedded inside. I could have done without those. Thank you for making my Sunday an unforgettable one. It goes without saying, that inside and out, Locanda Verde is an extraordinary restaurant !“

The owner is super sweet with a beautiful personality. He makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The food was phenomenal every dish was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. The prices very reasonable for the service and food quality they provide. This is so far our favorite Italian cuisine restaurant I'm so glad we live close by we will be back. If I could give a 10 star I would!“

“A fish filet for $150? Fugedaboutit.“

“Such a great dining experience! We came with our two 7 year olds at 5:45 and were sat right away. While we were there, there was a 30-45 min wait so we got in at the perfect moment! They were happy to make spaghetti in red sauce off the menu for our kiddos. The Negroni with prosecco was delicious. My pasta was truly delicious and the burrata appetizer was so good. The tiramisu was good and the non flour chocolate cake was exceptional! It’s nice to find actually delicious restaurants that are willing to accommodate kiddos. Perfect quiet location too!!“

“Good food! Good service ! Worth it!“

“First time trying , we ordered five sandwiches and all were delicious. Highly recommended, lots of food for the money.“

“Just ate there for dinner. Was packed but they were so accommodating for us four, and I was dying for my favorites. I have been going there since 1984 and sorry to say, 90% of the time I get the same thing! And still always delish. The service is great, servers are great, I have bought many people there and no one has ever complained, always loved the food! And I will continue to be a customer for as long as they will be there!“

“The frozen espresso martinis were amazing! Very worth the social hype. The space is very small so be ready to be right next to your neighboring table. It almost felt like we were at a communal table. We had the veal meatballs and squid ink pasta. Both were fabulous. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend“

“Abi was so nice! I went over to ask about his pasta and he was so sweet. He explained how he makes the pasta fresh everyday. The fettuccine was cooked just right and the Alfredo sauce had the right consistency.

The portions are much bigger that what’s shown in the photos. These were just samples.

Wishing you much success Abi.“

“ALWAYS.. fantastic Italian food. The very best!! Been going there every Saturday night since they opened. Unbelievable Italian cuisine, great service & Frankie and Jen are concerned & attentive to their customers.“
