The food was mediocre, especially considering the price point. The service was slow and very disorganized. We were asked if we'd like water 4 times before it finally arrived. The drinks were great. The atmosphere inside and outside was nice.

Food and service need improvement for sure. The atmosphere and tradition are there for sure. Little bit less attitude would be nice during busy hours.

Have come here many times over the years - always a treat! My favorite spot in the area and one of my favorites in NYC. They treat you like family - incredible hospitality, incredible and fresh food, and a fantastic, extensive wine selection. The real deal. They're super accommodating about allergies and dietary restrictions, as well. Last night we came in for dinner with friends after eloping and everything was perfect. I couldn't ask for a better night out! I wish I wasn't terrible with names so I could give our server the proper shout out he deserves. Thank you!

Vibes are immaculate. Great food and drinks. Great art. Thank you Rafael and team for the amazing meal, even better service and for free souvenir (baby size bottle of tabasco).

¡Ciao!

We had an incredible experience at Bar Italiana! The food was a 10 out of 10 — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our waiter, Hanna, was absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The service truly elevated the whole dining experience. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Super expensive. 52 dollars for plainly grilled fish with just a small portion of Broccoli rabi. The noise level is so high, it is impossible to have a conversation without raising your voice.

We discovered this spot by accident years ago, and we've returned each time we visit NYC. The food is great, and the people and service are wonderful.

The place isn’t bad — it has a good location and the food tastes good. However, the menu is very limited, and the waiters respond in an annoyed, even rude manner when asked about a dish.

First visit — cozy, classy space but a bit small and noisy when full.

Starters (Indivia and Rape Rosé salads) were fresh and flavorful. Mains (pappardelle and salmon) were just okay. Tiramisu was excellent and the highlight.
Service was decent but slowed down when it got busy. Food was a bit pricey for the quality.
Nice to try once, but with better Italian options around, I’d only come back for drinks — we liked the wine and Aperol Spritz.
