“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Great food, warm and welcoming staff.“

“Honestly, a stunning gem of a neighborhood restaurant. I loved their beet salad with dates, the dates were so soft and juicy. The pork chop was very good, but just a little bit dry for my taste. The desserts were smashingly good, we had the olive oil cake with cream in a prune sauce, as well as the coffee mousse. Would highly recommend!“

“A lovely venue. Delicious food, amazing service and a wonderful ambiance.
The entire staff is very accommodating. Sadly, we are moving in 4 days but am coming in this Wednesday to say a final farewell.
Wishing the entire Cotta team the very best success as time marches on!
Xoxo,
Tess and Michael“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“Sooooo good and so delicious and great attention A+“

“The place is cozy ☺️, the food is very good and tastes fresh, the service was incredible and patient, they recommended the best options for us, and they didn't disappoint with the dessert either, which was delicious and well-presented (tiramisu)🤩. We will definitely be back soon🍝🙌“

“Always come back to this special place in NYC for dinner, jazz show up stairs on weekends. Quality cuisine and service is the best in NYC. Special thanks to Luis, Lopez, and bar-tender Angel for making our night so special and showing us the jazz bar recommendations.“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“Went last night for St. Valentine’s day, I must confess I ended up here by mistake, my reservation was in another restaurant across the street, but for some unknown reason I came here and it was amazing, my only regret was not being here before… Food was beyond amazing, the lasagna is a MUST! I have never had something like that before, would love to go back again.

I would think that on a busy day like this, service/food might not be the best, but they proved me wrong, staff was very nice,they didn’t take forever with our food, music was nice too.

Can’t wait to go and try the brunch one of these days…

PS: I tried the cucumber drink, which is alcohol free and it was also very good, the olive oil cake since the tiramisu had finished,it wasn’t bad but I bet they have better options for desserts.“

“Always perfect Classy friendly smart delicious.“

“First time at Misi and couldn't have asked for more. Both the appetizers and pastas were excellent - had a hard time choosing my favorites. For our first course we had grilled artichokes, white asparagus, and peppers with ricotta toast. All were simply prepared but seasonal and delicious. Pastas included spinach tortelli (very rich but tasty), fettuccine (perfection), bucatini with njuda (my favorite of the bunch), and gnocchi with sausage (meaty, fennel-y, and oh so satisfying). All the pastas were different but equally divine. Cocktails and gelato were great too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top quality Italian pastas and appetizers that are seasonal, fresh, and simply prepared but deeply comforting.“

“Absolutely amazing !! Convenient coat check. Beautiful environment. Food was just incredible and coursed out perfectly. very affordable, considering the experience and quality of food and comparing to other restaurants in the area. Loved the complementary dessert tasting at the end of the meal. Would totally go back to do the tasting menu, but we will not be in town - we're from WI and visit the city often. Will definitely come back.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful meal outdoors Saturday night. Waiter was attentive, food was delicious and atmosphere was quaint. Would definitely plan to be back again.“

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“Great neighborhood place with fabulous home made pasta and wonderful service.“

“The atmosphere and service were outstanding. We only went for desert and coffee. The chocolate cake was amazing. A couple we vacationed with has eaten dinner there 2 nights before and said how amazing the food was. One of the staff members even gave us a personal tour and history of the building. Will be back to Brooklyn and will definitely come back.“

“Whether you live in NYC or visiting this fine city you need try Ill Tinello NYC on East side. I am in love with everything there. Wine, cocktail, food, dessert, staff and of course Benny. Everyone and everything is A+. The one and only negative point is when you have to leave. That is only followed but setting a date for a return. Love ya Ill Tinello NYC East !!!!“

“Dinner at old-school, red sauce joint, Bamonte in Williamsburg, one of the oldest restaurants in Brooklyn.

We are so glad we went early; this place is a scene! When we left at 9, there was not an empty table or seat at the bar. They still have a cigarette machine at the bar + two phone booths.

After cocktails, we had eggplant rollatini, chicken parm and pork chops with vinegar peppers, finishing dinner with Amaro Averna. The food was good; the service, outstanding.

And as a bonus, Kevin Kane from Law & Order SVU was dining there too!“

“Best fresh pasta in the city“

“5 days in NY, spent 2 nights dining in this restaurant.. Like it love it ! Great food nice people ! Thx for the experience, greetings from Belgium.“

“I made a reservation for Roman's on a Monday evening for a date night with my partner, not knowing it would be the day we got engaged! Roman's was truly a perfect place to celebrate. The food is so gorgeous and balanced and there was never a moment I felt unattended to while we totally had space to enjoy each other's company. Roman's is all the good parts of a welcoming neighborhood spot paired with seasonal delightful food that impresses people over and over again (on NYT's top 100 restaurants in NYC). The portions are more generous than many high end restaurants and I swear every last bite was the best. I felt warm leaving this place and I'm so excited to go back again <3“

“A close walk from the Met. We went on a Friday night and asked for an outdoor table (our reservation did not indicate either inside or out). Service was wonderful. We started with the meatballs which were good, but it was only 4 small meatballs. I enjoyed the Rigatoni with Sausage and Mushrooms. The fettuccine with beef ragu was also good, but missing a little something. The cannolo for dessert was a highlight.“

“The food, service were outstanding. I’ll be back the next time I’m in NY.“

“Go for the perfectly-crisped potatoes w their amazing salsa bianca / stay for the ultra-satisfying basil panna cotta!!! I was here 2 nights ago + I am still thinking about both of these items but everything we had was superb … already looking forward to the next visit :)“

“best goddamn eggplant parm sandwich I’ve ever had they also carry canned DOP San Marzanos and jarred Calabrian chilis; if you know you know“

“Delicious food and great service“

“THE best Italian cuisine in NYC. Period. Bring the crew and make sure to order the butternut squash tortelli and bottle of Lambrusco.“

“The fact that they welcome you at the entrance In Italian is a good sign.
Amazing food, decent prices, specially for cocktails and drinks in general, I appreciate they don’t intent to overcharge you
Service is amazing, we celebrate a birthday and they sang and so on. Very cute 🥰

Thank you so much guys , will definitely come back again.

Ps : caccio e peppe is a must if you like creamy pasta.“

“Super cozy neighborhood restaurant. The food is delicious and happy hour is a must! $7 glass of wine and tons of appetizers to choose from. Reservations recommended in advance as the place was packed when we were there.

Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“The environment is comfy and cozy when you walk into restaurant and they had host waiting for us to sit our table The food Was great, for me and my mom , and stepfather as we all ordered different things from meat to seafood, and pasta dishes. The one ravioli that had a little ice in it or cold which i take one star away from it. But other than everything was good. Also, the owner is very nice and came to talk to us to our table.“

“I met old friends and colleagues for a long overdue lunch. We had a great lunch, attentive waiter and wonderful conversation. One friend had lentil,the soup of the day. We all shared a delicious bruschetta and homemade ragu pasta. We also had a few drinks. It's so nice to get out of routine“

“😊La Giaconda is a friendly restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. We had a small family Christmas Dinner there and were treated like family. They have an extensive wine list and delicious food.“

“We hosted a reception following our wedding ceremony at Pizzette and it was the perfect venue. The restaurant held ~70 guests comfortably, the food was delicious, the servers were very kind and attentive, and our contact at the restaurant was incredibly responsive and easy to work with leading up to the event. We would recommend this space to anyone looking for a private event space! Or for a yummy bite to eat in the neighborhood.“
