Beautiful dining room. The menu includes traditional items and some that were unusual for us. Paella for 2 was stuffed with delicious seafood and easily fed 3. Good salads and interesting tapas. Pleasant all around. We will return soon

Incredible food, incredible service, and great ambience. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and very professional. I highly recommend this establishment, especially if you are in the mood for exceptional Spanish food.

Our new favorite spot on the UWS — hands down one of the most impressive dining experiences in NYC. Everything from the first bite to dessert felt intentional, balanced, and elevated.
We started with croquettas, octopus, and empanadas — all flawless. The croquettas were crisp and rich without being heavy, the empanadas perfectly golden with sauces that actually added something, and the octopus was tender with just the right char.
For mains, we went with two specials: a filet mignon topped with wild mushrooms in a silky sauce, and a halibut over a delicate leek base. Both were exceptional — beautifully cooked, full of depth, and plated like art.
Dessert sealed it: the cheesecake was unreal — light, creamy, and paired with sorbet and fruit that made it feel fresh instead of heavy.
What really sets Tasca apart is the service. Rodrigo made us feel like regulars from the moment we sat down — warm, attentive, and clearly proud of what they do here.
Tasca is the rare restaurant that nails both the food and the feeling. It’s upscale without being pretentious, and every dish has a point of view. Easily a top-tier spot in the city

The food is superb. The service is friendly and warm. The vibe is energetic. If you like duck, this is the place! Deliciously complex sweet spiced (not hot spice) and lightly fruity. Cooked perfectly to the recommended medium rare. Equally delicious were the lamb chops, and the sea bass. The mixed seafood was a tad salty for me, but still quite tasty for others in our party.

The Rib eye Steak amazing, with tostones. The drinks we didn't like it. The vibe is good, the waitres are nice too. Music low and nice you can talk without yelling. I really enjoy it. I will come back again.
Absolutely marvelous dinner, the food and service exceeded all expectations. We spent a week eating our way across Manhattan and this was decidedly our favorite meal of the trip. After finishing a Michelin*** meal (which was phenomenal!) my partner and I both agreed we'd have rather gone back to Tasca. The effort put into the experience was obvious and well appreciated. We'll be back every time we visit NYC.

I’ve been twice. Food and service are excellent. This time…there was a very noisy table nearby. Seems to be friends of the manager/owner. Really impacted the experience. Maybe it was just bad luck this time. Will try it again…it’s that good.

We married at city hall on Monday and planned a dinner at Tasca post ceremony. Justin was so kind in helping us be seated in a lovely comfortable booth and confirm that our photographer could take photos of us at the table and Rodrigo provided incredible service and vibes. The food was lovely and atmosphere incredible. Thank you so much!

From the neighborhood and stopped by for late night tapas. Rodrigo is your guy. Best octopus and empanadas in the city. Highly recommend and will be coming back to check out flamingo night.
