Most authentic and best true Roman Italian food! Great atmosphere (light jazz in the background on a random Thursday night), truely engaging owner & professional wait staff. This is a treasure that should not be missed.

it honestly breaks my heart to give this place two stars. The service, atmosphere and staff were all absolutely phenomenal. However, the food was honestly disappointing. Everything was so extremely salty or just mid. Great atmosphere and place tho!

Food would be good if the portion sizes weren’t so small. Because you feel so shortchanged, it averages out to only “okay.” Wouldn’t recommend unless you can afford to have them quadruple something.

We came in a day that is not busy, Tuesday night, and the first comment we had from the server was they were about to close; that made me feel unwelcome. No conversation,Just rush service. A good restaurant always go to the table and ask costumer is everything is good, we never had a visit from manager or head chef to make sure it was a nice experience. Wine was the best part of the night, but I’m leaving with a disappointing feeling

One of the best meals I have ever had.I came in solo on Christmas Eve. Everything was flawless— from the hostess who helped me get a seat at the bar when I called, to the comfortable waiting area (armchairs, fireplace, books to read), to the delicious food and friendly service.I had the pork belly, and brioche with chocolate sorbet for dessert. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been going to Antica Pesa for 7 and a half years. This is where our family get together as frequently as possible for special occasions, special food and special service. Lorenzo is a wonderful host and his chefs and waiters are top notch. Thursday night jazz is also a nice time to go. I highly recommend.
The food was delicious however, it was a little heavy, lots of cream and cheese in their pastas. The service was standard, not great not poor. The ambience is absolutely gorgeous. I will return to try more menu items.

We booked this restaurant for a NYE dinner with a group of 6. The food was good but service was the worst I’ve ever experienced in my 35 years in New York. They rushed us out at 8pm and packed our desserts to go to give to the table to someone else. I understand it’s a timed dinner but manage your service better then! There was a mistake with one of the dishes that delayed their own service. You cannot charge a table $1,000 for a 3 course meal and then only serve 2, mismanage your timing, give no heads up on timing and then haphazardly pack the 3rd dish to go and rush us all out. Right before this, our waiter said we can stay if we “eat fast” but then the owner packed the dessert anyway. When we pushed back, he was extremely rude and unprofessional. Other staff were okay but not a single waiter smiled, explained any dishes or treated us with the least bit of hospitality. I cannot recommend dining here given our experience.

It's the best, the food is great, the atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is perfect. One thing though, $18 2 bottles of water? Almost as much as a cacio e pepe!! Next time I'll do an encore and drink in the hotel ?

We went to this restaurant in August: what a pleasant discovery, we went back there twice in a few days!Very good food, real Italian food and excellent quality of products.The icing on the cake was the warm welcome from Lorenzo and his staff who made us feel at home.Thanks to Lorenzo we also discovered one of the best views of the New York skyline.If you want to feel at home even thousands of kilometers away, you can't miss a stop at Antica Pesa!Francesca, Carmelina, Clizia and Costanza
