Authentic family-owned for decades, known for superb homemade pastas, wines, and rotating specials
Nice place good atmosphere the staff are great 👍
Went to Maletesta Trattoria recently, and though I really wanted to love it, my honest review is that it was ok, but nothing riveting. Though the atmosphere is just what you'd hope for in an nyc Italian restaurant, the 100% lack of any form of air conditioning made eating there on a hot, humid, August evening, very unpleasant.

Malatesta Trattoria is a cozy Italian restaurant known for its delicious food and high-quality Italian eats. The service can be slow but attentive if guests ask for what they need. The outdoor space adds charm to the cute location, although it may not always be available due to weather. The atmosphere is perfect for groups and friends, but it can get a bit loud for older crowds. Highly recommended dishes include the spinach gnocchi with Gorgonzola, lasagna, tagliatelle al ragu, and ravioli. The restaurant offers well-priced pasta for NYC, including solid choices like the chicken cutlet and burrata. Customers have enjoyed the pillowy texture of the homemade gnocchi, the chewiness of the tagliatelle, and the standout spaghetti and orecchiette. While the indoor area can be a little stuffy and crowded, the vibe reminds many of Italy. They now accept credit cards, and with $10 glasses of house wine, it's a great spot to enjoy a meal. The small size of the restaurant means that servers are attentive, and it’s nice to sit outside when the weather is nice. After dining, it's a nice option to take a leisurely walk by the Hudson River.
