Avoid at all costs. Extremely rude staff , everything is very rushed , really nasty attitude , food is not worth it - I would rather spend my money elsewhere being respected.

The pasta is very good, but I think the service could improve. I went at a time when it wasn't busy. I hadn't even been seated for 2 minutes and the waiter was rushing me to place my order without giving me space to choose. The payment method is cash only, which makes your experience terrible because before even ordering I had to count the money to know if I had enough to pay in cash.

A guy who works there was so rude we were waiting in front of the restaurant he gave a table another guests before us. Than he shouted to us. I won’t even walk in front of this restaurant. Also dishes looked like trash.

DO NOT GO TO BAR PITTI. The worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had in NYC.
If you're thinking about dining at Bar Pitti—don’t. Just don’t. This place is an absolute disgrace, and what we experienced today was nothing short of humiliating.
We went there for a birthday celebration and left feeling violated, disrespected, and disgusted. From the moment we sat down, the staff treated us like garbage. One server stared at us in an aggressive, inappropriate way and barked, “Say what you want to order, now.” No greeting. No kindness. Just pure rudeness.
When we politely asked to retrieve a phone we had left charging, a tall brunette female server screamed at us in front of the entire restaurant and said, “It’s not my problem, go find it yourself!”—with zero professionalism or humanity.
Then came the bill. Cash only. No notice. No receipt. And they added a tip without our permission. They literally snatched the cash from our hands. We were robbed, insulted, and humiliated in one of the most talked-about restaurants in Manhattan.
Let me be clear: This isn’t just “bad service.” This is abuse. This is scam behavior. This is a place that survives on hype and treats people like trash.
Avoid Bar Pitti at all costs. There are countless incredible restaurants in New York—this is NOT one of them.

Be sure to review your bill, as it may already include a gratuity.

Horrible food! Tasteless really!! rigatoni is boxed barilla or worse, overcooked peas, no sauce and only 1 tiny piece of turkey sausage. The salt on the tables is cheap table salt.. felt poisoned from the salt, had to use as Milanese had no seasoning or flavor at all ~ both of us had terrible stomach aches after. Service felt pressured & fast & completely rude with arrogant attitude!! Atmosphere is like a cheap diner with super bright lights and rickety old uncomfortable chairs

Great vibe, always a huge line but they have very fast turnover. Always get pasta! I got the pumpkin tortelloni. It was fire
Food is great. Service is bad. Manager was very mean and she told us in a very mean manner that we could only pay cash.

Lovely Italian food. We had the eggplant for start, the clam pasta and the truffle pasta. All perfect. The owner was very kind and the waiter Marcio was very helpful. Would definitely go back as many times as I could. It’s real Italian food, not American Italian food.

They only accept cash and they don't let you know when you arrive, only when you pay
