Despite the super busy service on Saturday night, the staff handled it with charm and aplomb.

Cacio e Pepe in Manhattan is one of those rare spots that feels instantly comforting from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate without trying too hard, and the staff treat you like a regular even on your first visit.
The food is exactly what you hope for when you crave real Italian comfort—simple, high-quality ingredients prepared perfectly. Their signature cacio e pepe is unbelievably creamy with that perfect balance of pecorino and pepper, and you can tell they really care about every detail. The pasta is always cooked just right, and the flavors are bold without being heavy.
What really stood out to me was the consistency: every dish we tried—from the appetizers to dessert—felt thoughtful, fresh, and genuinely delicious. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you slow down, savor, and enjoy the moment.
If you’re looking for a spot in Manhattan that feels both special and welcoming, this is absolutely it. A place you’ll want to come back to over and over again.

One spoon serving for $10 is insane. The food was like the ocean, salty. The only way I could tell it was Cacio e Pepe is the coarse bits of pepper other wise the flavor of black pepper is absent and salt is REALLY prevalent. The atmosphere was cute but too humid inside. Service was fine.

Pasta was amazing. You can taste its homemade, and they toss it in the cheese wheel in front of you. Really cool experience!
Wonderful experience! We ate in the back garden which was lovely. Delicious food and great service!

This is a very cute restaurant and would be perfect for a date! The vibe is very pleasant and the staff and service were awesome.
The food was just okay compared to other Italian in the city! I have no regrets about coming here but probably won't be back when there are other options to try
