A fantastic hangout in the West Village. It has a supercozy vibe, great comfort food, a block away from the West side. We always go there afer a walk on the West side promenade. Service is very good, the food is very classic and all very true Romagna food. It makes us always feel Granma cooked for us. They make probably the best flat bread Piadina I have tasted in NYC. We've been there many times both with the kids and with friends. Good choice on the wines too

Fantastic, reliable Italian spot. Have been several times over the years and it’s always a great meal and experience. Service can be slightly slow but it’s no reason not to go. Never had to wait very long for a table, even with a larger group. The spinach gnocchi is my go-to, once there was a squid ink pasta special that was also incredible!

It was a friday night so some of this might be because of that but we called in advance and asked for the wait for 2 people, hostess said 15 minutes. When we get there we are told 15 minutes again but she doesn't put our names down. After waiting for 40 mins and multiple groups being seated before us even though they arrived after us, we asked for an update and she said another 10 mins. After those ten minutes she started ignoring us.additional note: if you're in casual wear, and not white, maybe avoid this place on Friday nights if you want to eat

Waited an hour plus and was told 10-15 minutes. When we got to the 40 minutes mark we asked again and she said 10 minutes. She never looked at us again and let other people in. We were the only Asian people waiting and it felt like she did not want to have us in their establishment. Very disappointed.

Cosy Italian restaurant near the Hudson that offers great value wine carafes and a lot of classic options such as grilled calamari and caprese salads which are decent. Spinach gnocchi is definitely a must order for your first time. Tables are on the smaller side so you may want to manage your orders. Overall good spot to check out!

Ok. Bit noisy. Food was not bad, but not particularly good. Quite uninspired.

Came in today on a whim. Decided to take myself on a date and I passed up a ton of really cool restaurants on my way here, but I was determined to set out for the address I originally put into my maps. Once I arrived to Malatesta it was incredibly packed. Being as shy as I am I almost walked out, but right before I turned back around someone set me up at a table. I was like “ok, cool.” Seeing as it was super cold out it particularly nice to feel the crowd around me. Not only was it warm but the staff (EVERYONE) was so kind AND THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS (ordered the pear salad, ravioli, and crème brûlée for dessert).*Also side note: I was sat at a small table near the entrance and while eating I had a direct view of the hostess with the short bangs ( I swear this is not at all meant to be creepy, tbh I was on IG most of the time). But woah this hostess was ON ??HER??GAME?? …she was constantly marking things on her clipboard, answering phone calls, and greeting people as they came, and rearranging tables…it was so impressive to watch. I feel like she could be a whole event planner.Anyway, here’s my review nobody asked for.I’ll for sure be back and bringing friends next time!-Alicia
