This is amazing food. The pastas are so good especially the ravioli and the mocktails are also very good and the vibe is very casual for a michelin star restaurant. My only comment is that sometimes the tables are very jammed and also it’s hard to get a reservation

Honestly surprised this place has a Michelin star. I’ve been twice and both times the service was average at best. They gave us the wrong pastas and we didn’t notice until we bit into it. When we asked, they never acknowledged that it was their fault, just said okay so you said you ordered XYZ instead, that’s coming out. Later on, the table next to us got the exact wrong pastas we had, so clearly they’d mixed up the orders between tables. The manager was going around asking people how things were, never stopped by our table to acknowledge the mix up. Doesn’t really live up to the Michelin star

We ordered 3 items from the pasta section to share among 2 people. We were told by our waiter that we should get 3 pastas some appetizers and salads. I have never been to a place where I was told that I needed 3 pastas (and more) worth of food to satisfy 2 people. When the food came out, I can see why. Like the reviews mention, the portions are tiny! Thankfully we ate prior to coming here so we were okay. I am just very surprised by the portions.
The pastas were flavorful I’d say. I don’t have complaints about the taste. Maybe I am not used to it but I felt the ravioli tasted like raw dough to me. That’s the only call out I needed to make. The others were alright, tasty but nothing to write home about. I already forgot about the taste. The server was nice and attentive. The staff overall provided good service.

Everything was really good. For starters, we had the burrata with tomatoes (the quality of the burrata was excellent), a side of prosciutto (melt-in-your-mouth perfection, like butter), and the bread. Highly recommend this combo!
For the mains, we ordered three pastas: the “grandma” pasta, the Strozzapretti with lobster y basil, and the tagliolini al ragu. All were well-prepared, with the grandma pasta being especially good. Dessert was a tiramisu with a nice balance of creaminess and sponge.
We paired everything with a bottle of wine recommended by the sommelier, which went very well with the meal. The only downside was that the main dishes took a bit longer than expected to arrive. Prices are on the higher side, but overall the quality and experience made it worthwhile.

Been here twice. While the pastas are tasty, it's not worth the cost for the small portions, especially the uovo raviolo. The affettati misti was good, but there are better boards in NYC for less cost. Also the tables in the lower floor are very cramped, which isn't that unusual, but makes it feel like everyone is on top of each other.

First time going. Started off a little shaky, the polite hostess seated us but we didn’t get any menus. We waited and waited. The waiter finished the table next to us, came over and asked us if we wanted anything from the wine/drink menu which we declined which seemed to change the temperature. We asked for menus, because we never got any, he brought them over, started to look and didn’t mention anything about the pasta tasting menu. I asked “what’s the pasta tasting menu?”, it felt like pulling teeth. The table next to us seemed to be getting the VIP treatment and for us it felt like step child. Anyway, he was pleasant, well mannered, and gave him the benefit of the doubt that he was busy as it was packed. Cait, one of the managers came by and asked if we were okay and we just did all our ordering through her because she was EXCELLENT. Attentive, informative, listened, honest in her opinions about the food. Her dedication to making sure we were taken care of coupled with the great food made it 9/10! The only reason I didn’t say 10/10 is because the pasta portions are SMALL. This is a fancy restaurant, not like family style so just make sure you eat before hand lol.

Great hospitality and very unique pasta dishes. Also the strip bass was light, flavourful and perfectly cooked. Cannot wait to revisit!

Simply one of the most incredible dining experiences of my life! The pasta tasing menu and wine pairing will live in my happy memories forever! Exemplary in every way!
So delighted! The ravioli is a must order. The red pepper pasta o.m.g. you must order it.

Rezdora is a real gem with food and service that bests its one star Michelin rating. Having traveled throughout Italy for the last 40 years including living there for several months, the level of cooking at Rezdora, in my opinion, surpasses that of over 99 percent of the restaurants there. I say this having an Italian mother, growing up in a family obsessed with food, making my own pasta using commercial equipment for both rolled and extruded pasta including grinding the flour from grain, and having sons who have lived in Italy for extended periods of time. At Rezdora, no shortcuts are taken in the preparation of the food on the menu including desserts. The five course tasting menu offers course after course of remarkably tasty pasta, both on the regular tasting menu as well as on the vegetarian one. The tasting menu is only for dinner but I have enjoyed lunch as much as dinner. And, considering all the hand work that went into preparing these truly outstanding pastas, the price is remarkably reasonable. In addition, every member of the staff we interacted with was passionate about providing outstanding service from the kitchen staff to the service staff.
I don’t remember being as excited eating at a recent dinner at a 3 star Michelin restaurant as I was eating at Rezdora.

What the hell did I just experience? The food was comically bad, like, I kept waiting for someone to pop out from behind a corner and yell “Gotcha!”
I took my BF here for his 30th bday as he loves carbs and fine cuisine. We ordered the pasta tasting and two additional dishes.
By the time the 2nd course of the tasting came out we asked the server to scratch the two additional dishes. By the time the 3rd course of the tasting came out I was legitimately apologizing to my boyfriend for taking him here.
Every pasta dish was half cooked, not al dente, like, a hard center of completely uncooked pasta with some of the bites. Everything had twice as much salt as needed and the flavor profile was very one note.
The service was on point though and there is a nice ambience.

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this restaurant while watching a YouTube blog regarding the best pasta dishes in NYC, Rezdora quickly went to the top of our list. We fantasized about the decadent flavours we would experience if we managed to get a reservation. This restaurant exceeded all of our expectations and then some. The service was up to par and the true icing on the cake were the added touches of complimentary puff pastry filled appetizers and homemade chocolate. The pasta dishes ordered and steak were filled with bursts of flavour. Truly one of the best experiences we have ever had. Our compliments to the chef and the entire kitchen. We will be back!
