Deeply delicious food, with a warm, casual staff in a beautiful space. We had the burrata, winter citrus salad, carbonara and orichiette. All fantastic.

Went here for dinner this weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday and can't recommend it enough! Ignacio our server was amazing and made my mom feel so special, including the hostess who greeted her with 'Happy Birthday' when we walked through the door. All of the dishes were amazing (the arancini was the best I've ever had) and the space is very cute. I live in the neighborhood and this will be a repeat spot!

Decadent and delicious food. Very intense flavors, lots of complexity, heavy. The carbonara was the best I've ever had. I enjoyed the octopus because of its flavor, though the texture was just fine. The brand and salad it comes from were pretty tasty, though they felt more like a separate side to the octopus and not an integral part of the dish. The portion sizes are good for sharing, not small.
It was nice seating at the bar by the kitchen, though the noise of the bartenders constantly knocking bottles and glasses and chucking ice and used bottles in the container by my feet got annoying fast.
The dim lights and compact setting are cost, but the music is way too loud for normal conversation.
I would go back, and I'd like to try more food.

We came here for an anniversary dinner and truly the staff made the night memorable with their kind words. The food was phenomenal! I especially liked the chef's special for the night, which was brown butter gnocchi. We ended the meal with the crumb cake and I can not imagine a better way to end the experience. Shout out to our server Tatiana who continually checked on us and really made the night special. Photos are from my gf.

The service, food, and vibe are so perfectly in harmony at dell'anima. The chicken as the main is absolutely the right way to go. No notes. Would go back without thinking.

I absolutely love this place!EVERYTHING is delicious but the bucatini and carbonara pastas are my all time favorite! I also highly recommend the bone marrow, charred octopus and Brussels sprouts. Their beer selection and cocktails are also great! Overall, you canāt go wrong with this spot. And to the people who are saying the portions are small, well unfortunately this isnāt Olive Garden, when serving high quality food there must be portion control. Prices are very reasonable and portions are enough and very fulfilling.
Went on a Sunday night. Restaurant looks nice and the ambience and service were fine, but the food was horrible. I think it is the worst food I have had in 3 years of living in New York (especially compared to the price)
Duck Confit -1/10 It was so salty we had to send it back. To make it worse they served it with pickled onions and mustard which did nothing to balance the flavor and made it even more gross and briny.
Bone marrow - 2/10 was so overcooked that none of the actual flavor of the marrow was still there. It tasted like I was eating a crunchy hamburger off a bone. Would serve it to a dog, but only because heād enjoy the bone.
Carbonara - 3/10 way too salty, pasta was overcooked and the whole dish was watery to the point of squeaking.
Nero- 4/10 the pasta was cooked well and tasty, the shrimp tasted like it had been frozen and way too overcooked.
We were so disappointed with the food that we when to the Tashkent supermarket nearby. I would recommend anyone eats there instead as the food is way better and 1/10th the cost.

I went with my wife to celebrate our 18th anniversary, and we were thrilled to see DellāAnima back in the West Village. We used to go all the time when it first opened on Jane Streetāit was our favorite restaurant for years.
Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. The experience was uncomfortable from the start, with freezing cold air blowing on us the entire meal. The food didnāt redeem it either. The bruschetta was rock hard, and the ricotta with olive oil lacked any real flavor. The lily confit was decent, but thatās about it.
The Tajarin Carbonara was flat and flavorlessāand it wasnāt even Tajarin; it was fettuccine. Some of the cheese strips even had blue mold on them. The Bucatini Arrabbiata was just okayānot bad, but nothing memorable. The mushroom pappardelle was bland and clumped together in one big mass. The risotto was the most disappointing of allāit completely missed the mark. Instead of being creamy and starchy, it was undercooked and tasted like a bowl of par-cooked farro. I complete smack in the face of Italian cooking.
We left most of the food uneaten (except for the bucatini), and no one bothered to ask how our meal was.
DellāAnima from 18 years ago will always hold a special place in my heartāthe open kitchen, the energy, and watching that tall, tattooed chef serve some of the best Italian food in New York City. Sadly, this version of DellāAnima is not that.
