“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.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews at restaurants, but I completely loved this place. The lasagna was the best one I have tried in NYC, the service and hospitality were excellent. They make you feel like you’re at home. They also have happy hour from 4-7pm for $5 wines and other drinks I believe, so that’s awesome! Completely loved the place and will for sure come back :)“

“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.“

“My daughter has been a fan of the alphabet pasta here since she started eating solid foods! I am a fan of the pumpkin ravioli and always check the case to see what’s new for the season. #itsallgood“

“We loved this place so much we went back twice during our stay, even after having tried pizza elsewhere in NY, this place was probably the best I've had so far. The vodka slice was my favorite, my friend really liked the buffalo chicken one. Perfect crust, 10/10, no notes.“

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

“We had a great experience learning how to make pasta! The food was so delicious. This would be something fun to do with a group or family members. Our waiter Mica was fantastic as well as the chef who taught us Anthony. Thanks guys for a fun night in NYC!“

“Open late and hits the spot sooooo good! Tomatoes r cooked for 8 hrs and seeps into the pasta—we got the tomato and basil and it was delicious! Wanna try to the vodka sauce one next time (they use diff tomatoes from Italy for it)—also staff r so sweet! Perf late night snack with v filling portions“

“Great neighborhood place with fabulous home made pasta and wonderful service.“

“Been a realtor in Brooklyn most my life and you know what they say location location location well this time it’s Pasta pasta pasta I’m mean it’s just pasta however if you like pasta and you don’t make it yourself this is the only place when in Brooklyn you need to go. If you care about fresh pasta—whether you’re a chef, a serious home cook, or simply someone who values true quality—this is a must-visit destination. A genuine temple of fresh pasta, and a place Brooklyn can proudly call its own. Beyond the pasta, the shop has a high-end Italian market vibe with a great selection of sauces, imported pantry staples, fresh mozzarella, and more — all at fair prices for New York City. It somehow strikes the perfect balance between old-school Italian neighborhood charm and quality you’d expect from a top artisanal producer. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, they let me taste their soon-to-be-offered sourdough pizza. Without question, that pizza alone is going to put this place on another level. Once it officially launches, expect lines as far as the eye can see — just for the pizza. If you want to buy a house come see me if it’s pasta and pizza you’re after go see Savinos! Hey but don’t take my word for it what do I know’, go and see for yourself. Tell em Battaglia sent you’ you could thank me later! Love B…“

“Had a wonderful experience with my brother and sister in law! Very friendly and attentive! Bruno was fantastic and so was the food!“

“I get the Tuesday Special every Tuesday. Fettuccine Alfredo for $5. It's delicious and tasty for the price. A quick bite to eat when you finish the work day and before getting on the subway ride home. For the Tuesday Special. There is a time frame to get it. From 12pm to 4pm.
Nearby Transit: West 4th Subway F,M,B,D,A,C,E Trains. M55, M20 Busses.“

“Margarita Pizza was delicious. Will definitely be back to try some more adventurous styles.“

“Best fresh pasta in the city“

“Our son first shared ARCO with us several years ago. We always make sure to stop by for delicious food, friendly people, warm atmosphere, and very reasonably priced food. The owners and staff are very dedicated to your enjoyment!“

“large cheese ravioli gluten free cheese ravioli whole wheat Italian bread“

“Classic Margherita is my favorite, and they do a solid grandma slice too. The specialty slices can get a little expensive, but they’re delicious. Come earlier if you want options, because the selection can get pretty thin later in the evening.“

“Few places are as accommodating as the staff here. The menu, although on available digitally, is extensive. Large selection of GF (gluten free) items. You can start with apps, choose from pizza or pasta as an entree. It is BYOB and that can make for a fun evening. They will accommodate to suit taste, we had someone that was sensitive to sodium, they adjusted sted the entree to suit. The place is small, the food tasty and seriously, the service is over the top.“

“A lovely corner of Tuscany in the hearh of The City. Amazing food.“

“Personal attentive service backed by great wine and food knowledge. Fresh pasta with a well balanced olive oil, lemon and a hint of Chilli spice, crunchy bread crumbs added texture. Just delicious!
Chickpea flat bread, nutty flavor, crunchy and soft, wonderful. GELATO!“

“The atmosphere is modern, yet cozy and comfortable. The fresh pasta and imported foods are excellent. Can’t wait to try a homemade cannoli!“

“La Trafila is an absolute gem for anyone who loves real Italian pasta. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the passion and precision behind every strand of pasta they produce. This isn’t just a pasta shop — it’s a celebration of Italian tradition, texture, and taste.

What sets La Trafila apart is their dedication to freshness and authenticity. Every shape, from the delicate tagliolini to the perfectly ridged rigatoni, is crafted with care using traditional bronze dies (trafile in Italian — now you get the name!). The result? Pasta that holds sauce beautifully and cooks to perfection every time.

Whether you’re a home cook, a chef, or just a pasta lover, this place is heaven. Their seasonal specials are creative and delicious — think truffle-infused tagliatelle or pumpkin gnocchi in the fall. And the team? Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and proud of their work, as they should be.

La Trafila is a rare find in New York: a place where quality, tradition, and innovation meet. Once you try their pasta, there’s no going back.

Bravi!“

“Ive always been a really picky eater, especially with pizza, but this place is by far one of my favorite spots!
Been going here since I started middle school and I just recently finished highschool, this has always been a staple spot for me growing up!
If you’re ever in the neighborhood definitely check it out (-: Paco and the other workers are some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and are always looking out for the community with their amazing food and service!“

“Food is awesome staff great neighborhood awesome“

“Great pizza place we ordered half veggie half mediteranean , dough was on point and tge ingridients are fresh! Would order again for sure“

“Absolutely loved everything about this place! The food was excellent, but I have to give a special shoutout to the pasta because it was genuinely AMAZING!! seriously one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The prices were also really reasonable, which made the experience even better.
The place itself is also so comfortable, with such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back without thinking twice! And Xavier was the sweetest and most attentive, he truly made sure I had a great experience. Amazing food, great service, fair prices, and such a lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“This is not a restaurant. They make the best fresh made pasta. They have a retail store in little Italy, and this is where they make the pasta.
They will sell to walk in customers, but it's better to order ahead to pickup. They also sell some cheese and sauces, and a few imported items from Italy.
I used to get my pasta from Cassinelli in Astoria, and was very sad when they closed.
Now I get fresh fettuccine all the time. Last time I got a pound each of the egg, tomato and spinach lasagna sheets, and made a few tricolor lasagnas. Just fabulous!“

“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.“

“I read the service loan not because the service staff was an issue, but I am sick and tired of being penalized for using cash. I didn’t realize I went to the counter. I made my order selected everything and then I was told if I need to pay cash. I need to go to a kiosk. Annoying because now I have to go through all these menus to figure out what I just ordered feed cash into machine wait for that to come out. Totally unnecessary step and unfortunately something that would make me not want to stop here because they added a layer of complexity. It wasn’t necessary. Now I’m sure by the tone of my review that you could probably tell how old I am but that’s fine by me. I like walking into an establishment explaining what I want paying cash and walking out. It’s that simple but yet this isn’t. That being said, the food is fabulous so if the kiosk doesn’t bother you and you never pay cash then so be it.“

“This texas girl fell in love with their thin crust pizza or as they are called there pies!! 💯 recommend you wont regret it! Our server was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere is perfect for a chill day or night 🙌🏽💕“

“I had the pleasure of spending my 50th birthday at Piccoli Trattoria with my family. Wonderful food and great atmosphere. I felt like such a birthday queen, thanks to the staff! Can’t wait to travel from Kansas to Brooklyn again so I can visit this wonderful restaurant. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience and meal!“

“Delicious fresh homemade italian specialties! From their bread, cookies, fresh pastas, olives, cheeses, sausage the list goes on and on. Charlie and the entire staff truly treat you like family! Highly recommend 👌🏽“

“We were treated to these donuts from our colleague. Omggggg the filled vanilla creme DONUT is PERFECTION .. Wow!!!
Light, fluffy, AND with the perfect amount of vanilla creme, that's not too sweet.
I can't wait to get some more stuff from here .“

“I love pasta louise's... I've been coming here for a while -- and 99.9 % of time I get the cacio Pepe and the. Broccolini .. the food is awesome .. the service is awesome ... I just wish they wouldn't let my rec Rome breathe as much . :) . It seems the portion has gotten smaller over the last few years ... u less I've been lucky enough in past times to get a fair amount of wine :)“
