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 can’t go wrong with this spot. And to the people who are saying the portions are small, well unfortunately this isn’t 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 he’d 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 Dell’Anima back in the West Village. We used to go all the time when it first opened on Jane Street—it 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 didn’t redeem it either. The bruschetta was rock hard, and the ricotta with olive oil lacked any real flavor. The lily confit was decent, but that’s about it.
The Tajarin Carbonara was flat and flavorless—and it wasn’t even Tajarin; it was fettuccine. Some of the cheese strips even had blue mold on them. The Bucatini Arrabbiata was just okay—not bad, but nothing memorable. The mushroom pappardelle was bland and clumped together in one big mass. The risotto was the most disappointing of all—it 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.
Dell’Anima from 18 years ago will always hold a special place in my heart—the 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 Dell’Anima is not that.

The new location is beautiful and the food is just as delicious.
The addition of Brunch is great and they had one of the best Bloody Marys I've ever had.

I’m legit obsessed with this place, used to go a lot when in Hells Kitchen. Happy to see it at its new location with its amazing food and staff. Props to the Chef!!
My sister was visiting me and we decided to go to a random Italian restaurant - we were so happy with the choice! Our server Jay was absolutely fantastic - I’ve been a server for over 10 years and I was starting to realize how bad I am at serving just from having him as ours. He did such a great job & I think was the best server we’ve all ever had in our lives.

I was so happy that they reopened in the West Village and got to celebrate our anniversary there. Food was as amazing as I remember. We got the burrata and asparagus to start, spaghetti with pesto and burrata (so delicious w pieces of nuts and a citric touch) and the carbonara which is still the best carbonara around. My only comment is that we were seated on a table for 2 in the back room and there was a table for 3 next to us and a table for 8 behind and basically were locked in for the dinner with no room to move, even for New York felt too crowded.
