“Another incredible Friday night wrap!! Never had a bad wrap here! Frequently order here because the food never disappoints. Tonight’s Pompeii wrap was so good I could have eaten another one lol“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“This is hands-down one of the best Italian spots in New York City — and one I make sure to visit every time I’m here. Everything on the menu is creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented, but the Cacio e Pepe pasta is the real standout. The sauce is creamy and rich with just the right amount of black pepper!“

“El personal es muy amable, atentos y deliciosa comida.“

“This is a great restaurant, last year (2023) we came twice and Ram was great, his service and attitude was fantastic, and this year (2024) we came back again just to see him (and of course to have some drinks and great food).“

““Absolutely 🔥! I can't say anything more. My wife can't stop talking about it. I frequent many places, and this may be the best place I've eaten at this year. I've been to multiple three-star Michelin spots this year, by the way. Absolutely incredible place, and the staff are great.”“

“Atmosfera e cibo top! Consigliassimo“

“The food here is amazing, and the staff are great. I can’t recommend it enough. Unfortunately, the Facebook rating system for restaurants is focused mostly on the wrong things, likely due to poor algorithm design. Curbside pickups? Daily specials? Takeaway menu? Grow up, Facebook.“

“I really came fully prepared to hate on this place, most of all because C picked it, but also because it is hyped to death. Further hatred materialized when I waited in line for our reservation and felt like a schmuck.

Then I realized the line wasn't for people with reservations, I went inside, we were seated immediately, our waiter was fabulous, the food was fabulous, and the wine was fabulous. Everything was phenomenal and extra, extra good.“

“Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner on our visit to NYC. Service & Food were both excellent. Lovely family setting.“

“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!“

“I went here twice! Not only do they have a cute waiter 😍 but their good was really good. And I really enjoyed their drinks! I would come back next time I'm back in NYC. I had their spaghetti and meatballs. Their bread is pretty good too. I would recommend it!“

“Japanese Italian fusion? Something I obviously had to try!
I appreciate Kimika’s creative menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Our waitress Kara/Cara was so friendly and helpful. I started with a Spritz that I think could’ve used some more bubbles, but the flavors were on point. The food was good but I felt like there could’ve been a bit more flavor. We tried the Truffle Carbonara, Soy Butter Bigoli, and Eggplant Katsu - I think the Bigoli was my favorite (think elevated lo mien). For dessert, we tried the lava cake, matcha French toast (would get it with ice cream if I were to over come again) and the Nutella Bombolocini (very creative - think mochi stuffed with Nutella).
Overall, I loved the concept of Kimika and the service, but I think there could’ve been just a tad more flavor in some of our dishes. Definitely a place to try once!“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“Very good Italian fare that’s reasonably priced considering the quality. Can get very crowded.

Service was more efficient than overly friendly. I’d rate the food 4.5/5 although we didn’t find the tiramisu especially memorable. Less desirable tables near the kitchen and WC (reserved for smaller parties) lacked the ambiance of the main room.

All in all, glad I went but will try other places over returning“

“It was our first time visiting New York and da Toscano came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint! One of the best meals we have had in a very long time, and the service was second to none! Thank you for a wonderful evening 😊“

“Cadre très sympa et pizza au top !“

“Loved this small 100 year old Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village. The food was delish, but even better than the food was the atmosphere and the staff. Our waiter was Tony. Not only was he funny, he knew his pasta! We felt like old friends by the time we left! The bartender was not only beautiful to look at, he too treated us like old friends! He meet us at the door on our way out and gifted me with a juicy birthday kiss! Totally made my night!“

“What a lovely New Year's Eve celebration at Via 13. The renovations to the space are gorgeous...much more refined and more streamlined than before. While they were offering a price fixe menu, they also offered their regular menu, and allowed each diner to pick and choose from both menus, giving us all so many delicious options. We shared appetizers including an amazing squid ink risotto and my Bronzino was one of the best versions I've had of it. Wonderful service. We will definitely be back!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Made a special celebration that much more momentous. Do not skip the prosciutto with ricotta or octopus apps-delicious!“

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“Delicious food!! The best place I've been to in the east village in a very long time. I highly recommend it 😋“

“Maestro Pasta in New York is pure magic — a slice of Italy right in the heart of the city! The hospitality is warm, genuine, and makes you feel instantly at home. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal — come a casa. It was so irresistible that I went back four times in just one week! This place is a must-visit for anyone who loves Italian cuisine.“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“The service stood out our bartender was attentive“

“We didn’t have a reservation and only stopped by for a glass of champagne. When they realized we were celebrating our marriage, they surprised us with a delicious dessert on the house, which was incredibly kind and thoughtful.
The entire place has such positive energy — great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and amazing food (looking good on the tables). Every detail felt special. Without a doubt, we will be coming back the next time we’re in New York.“

“Finally scored a Resy Notify for this reservation and it was well worth it! We got a reservation around 5 or 5:30 I wanna say and within minutes of us getting there, the restaurant went from empty to bustling and packed in what felt like a manner of minutes! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the large windows allow for wonderful lighting - first, for happiness and second, for the Gram. We tried a bunch of different things that were all delicious. What really struck me was how simple these dishes were yet packed with a delightful combination of flavors. Of all that we tried, would highly recommend the whipped ricotta, mezze rigatoni, and ricotta- filled occhi. I came here a few months ago and cannot recall the gelato flavors but we tried all three and were not disappointed in the least. I hope to come back here soon!!“

They delivered on everything and went above and beyond. If you are having an event consider this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget. Not only did you provide exceptional service and amazing food but went above and beyond in every conceivable way to make her birthday the best one she has ever had. Best experience, food and service we have ever had. Thank you so very much.“
