“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“

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

“The cocktail selection is phenomenal, it’s balanced and delicious, even the people sat next to us agreed! My favorite dish is probably stuffed farfalle with snow crab. It’s creamy and just the right amount of crab, flour and sauce to balance each bite! You’ll be amazed!! Another go to is definitely steak. It’s lightly fried on the outside but juicy inside which is not overly oily, spicy crunch on top adds an Asian style kick. A gem place for sure!!💕“

“Easily one of the best meals of my life! Crazy creative! Only 16 seats, very special in all ways.“

“Pleasant less formal atmosphere, but very efficient service. Delicious pastes. I highly recommend :)“

“This place is amazing the food is so authentic and filled with flavor, BUT I WITNESSED THE PREP COOK, he wears glasses directly in front of the bar counter. He met a female customer in the bathroom they were gone for at least 5 to 8 minutes together. It’s sad because this behavior would stop me from visiting this place with my family. He needs to be gone this is not a brothel to be intimate with customers. It turns out the female works across the street from the restaurant. Food is great but he just makes me and my wife very uncomfortable“

“Spectacular meal! Best veal and Taglioni that we have had….

Noli was excellent and we had a Barollo we will search out when we get home….

A perfect end to a first day in NYC of museum and a show….“

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

“The wait staff and food were absolutely amazing.“

“Atmosfera e cibo top! Consigliassimo“

“Cadre très sympa et pizza au top !“

“We had high expectations for Via Carota, but our experience was mixed. The first fungi dish we received was clearly burned, so we sent it back. The staff handled it professionally and brought us a replacement, but unfortunately the second one was only average and still not as good as we expected.

The atmosphere is charming and the service was friendly, which we appreciated. However, for a restaurant with such a strong reputation, the food didn’t quite live up to the hype during our visit. Hoping this was just an off day.“

“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).“

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

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

“An amazing time! Atmosphere was very warm and the food was incredible!“

“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 😊“

“Visited on Tuesday evening quite late and had such an amazing experience at Osteria Nonnino. We shared a pizza to start, followed by fish and the vodka pasta for mains – every dish was absolutely outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and we felt so well looked after from start to finish. The food was honestly second to none. Such a hidden gem, would highly recommend to anyone in NYC.“

“The staff were amazing and so was the food! My Mom has a very restrictive diet and she was able to eat and didn’t have a reaction afterward which is rare for her unfortunately. We came into the restaurant 5 minutes before closing and was able to accommodate our large party. Cannot say enough good things!“

“Atmosfera e cibo top! Consigliassimo“

“We came here last night at the last minute - no reservation. Doing that on a Saturday night in the trendy west village usually results in a firm “no” from the maître D’. Instead , our party of 4 was welcomed into a lovely restaurant , quiet yet lively with a very friendly and attentive waitstaff. Had a great time and would definitely return.“

“The pizza is excellent, there is a modest amount of space to eat in, and they have a bar so customers can enjoy an adult beverage with their meal. Friendly service and a reasonable wait makes this good value for one’s money. We will be back!“

“Delicious food good service“

“Excellent Roasted Chicken. Burrata, Garlic bread and Brick Oven pizza. The vibe is really nice and service is excellent.“

“This is some of the best food and the best dining experience I've ever had. Everything was so exquisite, thoughtful, flavorful, surprising, lovingly made without any frills. All you really need to do is glance at the kitchen to get it.“

“Attentive staff, good food , nice atmosphere . Most definitely will return next trip into the city“

“Fantastic authentic Italian in a cozy atmosphere. My friend has a gluten allergy and eating here was the big event of the trip. We loved everything we ate. The boar risotto was outstanding as was the chocolate cake. Ten out of ten, greatly recommend.“

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

“Excellent place to eat authentic Italian dinner with family. Great food and excellent service by their employees. 100% Recommended!!“

“Enjoyed everything about Emporio!“

“Went there for my 65th birthday…first of all the space was beautiful…warm and charming! Michael was so accommodating to our large group…made a perfect recommendation for wine and was more than gracious. The group of us left feeling well cared for and enveloped in warmth! Thank you for a memorable experience“

“Amazing pasta and staff, that are actually from Italy! 🇮🇹“

“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!“

“I called around 5 p.m. looking for a last-minute reservation for a friend and me. The only thing available was “outdoor seating on the patio,” and I was a little disappointed. I’ve been dying to try this place, though, so we took it. Turns out I was completely wrong, the patio is gorgeous. It’s tucked away in the back, mostly shaded beneath a tree, and sits beside a sizeable fountain that provides a constant, pleasant background soundtrack.

The waitstaff was fantastic. Danya was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us navigate the menu. Another member of the waitstaff whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch was equally warm and welcoming. We ordered the bufala mozzarella with smoked cherries, the focaccia (which I am very grateful Danya talked us into, holy hell), the guinea hen ragu, and the sea bass with some sort of saffron and tomato magic happening in the sauce. Everything was excellent, but definitely don’t sleep on the focaccia and ragu. The reviews do not lie about the ragu, and the focaccia ruined me for lesser breads. Whoever engineered the martini’s on the drink menu deserves an award. Hell yeah.

For dessert, we ordered the mint ice cream. I am neither a mint person nor much of an ice cream person, which makes it even more surprising that I thought it was fresh, surprisingly herbal and fantastic, the ultimate summer solstice dessert. The kitchen also sent out a chocolate cake with ganache and orange that was absurdly good. We weren’t a particularly big-spending table and have no history with the restaurant, so I can only assume they could tell we were vibing hard with the food and decided to send us completely over the top. Thanks, you guys.

10/10 experience. We’ll both be back as soon as we can.“

“We happened to be walking by on a Friday night and my husband pointed it out. Our pasta was fresh and delicious and served so quickly. The staff was beyond attentive and professional. The bathrooms were gorgeous and clean. It delivered on all aspects. We had Zeppole with lemon curd for dessert and it was unreal!“

“🔝🔝🔝 Giovanni e il suo staff 🥰“

“Forsythia NYC looks great. I love Italian food, and the photos look warm and real. The pasta looks delicious. It is affordable at $100+, but it seems good for a special dinner. I am saving this place. I want to open the app to see the full menu and more photos.“

“the best! staff was so lovely and welcoming!!“

“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 Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“
