“Paisanos was local to the hotel i was staying at. It was a late dinner, so i ordered take out & for that reason i don't have much info on the atmosphere, drinks available, parking or seating.

The food however, was delicious & some of the best to-go portions I've had. You know usually when you get to-go portions, it's nothing like the portions you get when you dine-in.

I had the shrimp & broccoli fettuccine & ribeye sweet, dry rub steak, potatoes & veggies. So good, i recommend. 😋“

“The best coffee and pastry in the world!“

“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“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“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.“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

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

“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….“

“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“

“I have been at least a half-dozen times, and they never disappoint. Service is nearly perfect; the food is absolutely superb (fish last night may be among the best I've ever had -- and I eat out a lot), and the personal attention is so appreciated. I'll be back --- and I HIGHLY recommend it!“

“I just love this place... !“

“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.“

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

“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).“

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

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

“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.“

“Amazing dining experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried a few dishes from the menu, and everything tasted authentic with generous portions. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Definitely a place worth visiting if you're looking for quality Italian food. Highly recommended!“

“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“

“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!“

“Food is wonderful, vibe is warm, and service is excellent - was so nice to talk to a real human being when trying to schedule a group dinner (rather than an AI bot as some other local restaurants use). Still thinking about the spaghetti pomodoro“

“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.“

“Atmosfera e cibo top! Consigliassimo“

“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“

“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.“

“Had a great time at Misi last night. Ricotta crostini was served with nectarine; very good, still was nicely savory despite being fruit-forward. We also had the artichoke hearts; the mint made the dish exceptional. For pasta, we went with the tortelli and the lamb ragu. The tortelli was exceptional but I would try something other than the lamb next time; wasn’t bad, but wasn’t stand out. For dessert, we had strawberry and cream gelato and double chocolate gelato, both were great but the strawberry and cream was the better.

Thanks for the great night, Misi team!“

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

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

“The service stood out our bartender was attentive“

“What an incredible experience! My friend and I sat at the bar inside of restaurant and were lucky to be served by Alex. He was so attentive, caring, and genuinely kind. You can tell he puts his heart into what he does. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“It is theeeeBEST! Make a reservation NOW!“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“Our meal was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Our sweet server even brought us a complimentary Tiramisu. ❤️“
