Went for dinner on a Friday night and Julio made us feel at home. Sat at the bar. Food was great, service was excellent and it was a great atmosphere as well. A new favorite for me in NYC

A very authentic Italian restaurant that reminds me of my trips to Italy. I thought the outdoor seating was really cool where it was more separated and facing out. Was not cold since they have heaters. The food really reminds me of Italy since the dishes are very simple yet delicious. Not a crazy amount of ingredients and tons of flavor, instead it tastes very authentic. Thought the daily dinner special was cool. An entire page dedicated to specials. I got the special with seafood and it was so good. Great flavor and very fresh. Shrimp pasta was also delicious. Fiancée loved it! We got the calamari and chicken breast as well. Both go back to the very simple yet fantastic meals. Calamari is just olive oil and lemon. Fantastic. Cooked perfectly. The chicken was on the dry side but still quite nice. Rosemary stuffed under the skin gave it a great flavor profile. I would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to coming back.

Just went again for the first time in a while was previously my favorite but we just had a lamest most under seasoned over cooked food. Every time I go in I have some weird passive aggressive interaction with the owners husband but Ive continued going for years it was very disappointing

This was recommended by a friend, absolutely loved it! Don't go there if you are looking for a fancy premium experience, but the food is great quality and the wine list is very nice. You have to call to book which I found at first being annoying and bold for New York, but it also makes it very authentic. Overall highly recommended and I will be back!

Thoughtless. If I had to describe my experience in one word, that would be it.
I called twice, a week in advance, to make sure my best friends and I had a nice dinner to celebrate our brother’s upcoming wedding. When we arrived a few minutes early for our reservation, the “manager” casually told me there was no record of it and that another party of five was ahead of us.
At first, I thought he was joking. Who dismisses a customer like that? When I confirmed the phone number I’d called, even showing him my phone’s call log, he acknowledged it was correct but showed no concern, turning instead to chat with other patrons and staff. When I tried to have a calm conversation to understand what went wrong or how they’d fix it, he brushed me off, asking if I wanted to wait for a table or not, and that was it.
Be aware!! This restaurant doesn’t take online reservations or provide any confirmation number or email. It’s literally call ahead and hope someone writes it down. Clearly, that system isn’t working!
Overall, the manager on duty (a Black man wearing glasses) was rude, dismissive, and disinterested in resolving the issue or acknowledging their mistake. If you care about customer service or want any confidence in your reservation being honored, I’d steer clear of II Posto Accanto.

The salad was great but the pasta was very mediocre. Small portions for the price.

Great dinner here last night. Food is deliciously rustic and unfussy with top ingredients, vibrant flavors & generous portions (market-sourced specials esp worth considering). Well-curated, reasonable wine list, too. A bit loud and tight, but convivial with a festive buzz. Friendly, efficient service and co-owner Julio is a great host. Just a terrific neighborhood spot... reservations recommended !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been coming to this restaurant for almost six years, and it never disappoints! The food is truly authentic — real Italian pasta made the way it should be. The atmosphere is always warm and friendly, and the service is excellent every single time. The owners are wonderful people who make you feel like family. It’s one of those rare places where everything — the food, the people, and the experience — comes together perfectly. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹🍝
We had an amazing meal last night. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. The food was delicious and fresh and we will definitely return'

Went with 10 friends for dinner - after we were given an extra order of calamari - which one side of the table started eating as we didn’t realize it was extra. Literally while someone was taking a bite off the plate the waiter came to forcefully remove the half eaten calamari. Not only did he take both orders off the table but he spilled the oil of one of the plates onto a guest. Their solution to first to gaslight us about what had happened and then the manager gave us a card of the restaurant and told us to bring him the dry cleaning bill. 1. As having worked in the restaurant business for over 15 years I know that once a table starts to eat a dish they didn’t order the restaurant leaves the dish for the table. 2. Having a bad attitude about a mistake that the waitstaff made is one thing - but forcefully removing it while someone is mid bite is completely insane. 3. And though, as the manager said “mistakes happen”, I do not think asking a customer to return with a dry cleaning bill is the solution that was warranted. Not that oil comes out of clothing at all. Comping us for the calamari was the only additional action taken. Honestly I’ve never seen something so rude as and poorly handled. Shame on you.
