We have been here three times, always for birthday celebration. Food is good, we had the pinsa prosciutto, chitters con ballottine, Rigatoni short rib and tiramisu. Birthday girl wasn't happy with her choice but her favorite is the prosciutto. Our server Matteo was so nice.

Met a friend for an early dinner. The food was excellent and the service helpful and friendly. We sat talking undisturbed until we finally had to ask for our check. We'll definitely come back!

First off we were greeted and were being pushed to order before we were even served the bread basket which we had to ask for. The food was ok. Absolutely nothing special. The service was so disconnected that the person who kept coming to the table literally poured tap water in my glass of sparkling water, without any thought. The best part was my desert...the bread pudding and ice cream. The atmosphere is great for hangout for drinks, but I would not return for dinner.

First time having lunch there, had dinner here before. The salad was good but the added chicken was the worst chicken I have ever had. Chicken tasted awful, did not even taste like chicken... great service, polite and friendly. I would rate this restaurant a 4-5 otherwise...

Arrived at the end of brunch and a shift change unbeknownst to me and my guest. So, they were out of a lot of things on the menu. We were seated next to the waiter's service station which was noisy as was the piped in music. Food was meh. I'll give it another try. Went again today, February 5th. Had an absolutely delightful time with good food and the same waiter. Happy to see him again. Glad I went back a second time.

I found this restaurant very pleasant for the occasion we came for. My friend just came from picking out her wedding dress with her family and her bridesmaids and it was also her birthday. The staff there gave us a complimentary dessert for her and sang happy birthday. They even greeted her and said happy birthday . I think it really made her day. My only complaint is I wish there is a way to add protein to some of the pasta options. However, I understand why they're probably wasn't any, but if they were to take this in the consideration, I would love to have added chicken to my dish. I don't mind paying extra for protein so money isn't an issue. But everything tasted delicious. I got the cacio e pepe.

Nestled in the bustling streets of New York City lies a quaint Italian restaurant, promising an authentic taste of Italy right in the heart of the Big Apple. From the moment you step through the door, you're transported to a charming trattoria, complete with cozy ambiance and the inviting aroma of freshly cooked pasta. However, while the atmosphere may be enchanting, the experience falls short when it comes to value for money. Despite the relatively high prices, the portion sizes and quality of the dishes leave much to be desired. What you get on your plate simply doesn't justify the expense, leaving diners feeling disappointed and somewhat shortchanged. Although the menu boasts a variety of classic Italian fare, the execution often fails to live up to expectations. Service, too, can be hit or miss, with waitstaff occasionally appearing harried and inattentive, further detracting from the overall dining experience. We will definitely give this another shot and hope for a better experience.

To celebrate an anniversary and a birthday — during restaurant week in NYC — we looked for a new place convenient to us and our good friends we were marking the occasions with. Tarallucci e Vino fit the bill and had great reviews, I booked a reservation on OpenTable. We decided against the restaurant week menu and order a variety of dishes à la carte. The radicchio salad and meatballs were standouts... until the flourless chocolate cake which stole the show. Our server, Matteo, was on top of everything and paced the meal so that we could enjoy it without feeling rushed. We had a great time and are already considering our next visit.

Enjoyed a very relaxed brunch here with a friend, without interruptions or feeling hurried at all. Service was excellent, food was delicious, and a unique twist on your standard brunch fare. Will return to try the pizza & pastas! :)

Low key spot with a nice variety of food and drinks, really well prepared and served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Space can be a bit tight and tables are kinda small, though.

Service was not good. They were rushing us the whole time but then still managed to forget to bring our drink order. Also terrible odor coming from the bathroom Nearby. Would not recommend.

It was meh to eh. Casio de Pepe was crap. Eggplant appetizer was decent. The salmon was good, the pesto gnocchi was bland AF. Desert was good. They charged me $21 for water at the end of the dinner. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Not very good.... Sorry. Service was very lacking on top of the pretty pricey menu.

Excellent service, and warm ambience. Great wine and drink selection, and lots of menu options for a variety of dietary types, even with a somewhat smaller menu. The food was delicious!

This was our first time at Tarallucci e Vino. I reserved because it was recommended as a pre-theater spot near Union Square. We had a 5:15 reservation and the food, drink and timing were perfect. Highly recommened.

My friend and I had a delicious dinner with excellent service. It was a little pricey but everything was really well-prepared, presented and very tasty so not so bad. We'll come back again.
