    Burrata
    Mei M.

    The best and authentic Italian experience I have had. It is a small and busy casual restaurant. Everything is made like a home Cooked meal with real cream, cheese and fresh vegetables. This is the most comforting food you can get in the city. The staff is super nice and talkative. They were really friendly and all introduced themselves to me and joked around. Service is fast. One of the best places I have eaten in NYC. Get the mushrooms!!' Cash only!

    this place is iconic. something about a restaurant that's casual but the food is top tier that does it for me. i walked in here on a thursday night at 6pm and sat outside in workout clothes. you can dress up or down and the vibe is still immaculate. service is quick! waiters are italian so it feels very authentic. can't go wrong with this place. only downside is it's cash only and there's sometimes a wait.

    I loveeee the pasta here. Service can be iffy but the food comes out pretty quickly. Also cash only. I prefer to sit outside but the inside can also be a vibe. Pretty sure celebrities come here like Taylor Swift which is why it's always busy.

    Bar Pitti absolutely lived up to the hype. From start to finish, everything we ordered was spot-on, delivering that rustic Italian comfort with just the right amount of New York energy. The Burrata was a standout -- impossibly creamy, perfectly paired with fresh bread. The Rigatoni (Riggies) were rich and flavorful, with sauce that clung to every bite just the way it should. The Gnocchi were pillowy and light, a true testament to well-crafted handmade pasta. And the Pappardelle? Silky ribbons tossed in a hearty creamy sauce. The vibe is casual. Service was amazing! Our waiter had the Italian accent and we loved him. The experience felt authentically Italian without trying too hard. Can't wait to go back.

    Ouch... I've heard so many good reviews about Bar Pitti but I hate to be the one that begs to differ Our tab came about $700 worth of food and drinks, I even tried my homies' order & nothing moved me + the restaurant lacks space, the only thing that was moving was my seat that kept being kicked by servers and people passing by behind me. Appetite low, Overstimulation high My Linguini Alle Vongole was slightly the best pick on the table

    I was unfortunately underwhelmed by Bar Pitti. I was super excited to try the famous pappardelle but was unfortunately let down a bit. Don't get me wrong, it was by no means bad. It was good, however for the amount of hype around this restaurant and this dish, in particular, I wasn't overly impressed.The wine was great and the appetizers we got were very good as well. I tried one person in our parties Milanese and it was very good. Service was a bit slow, but we were a larger group so that's understandable, but unfortunately, our waiter was not the friendliest. I must say the ambience is great as it definitely feels like a typical old school Italian restaurant. I would definitely try Bar Pitti again, but I think there are much better Italian establishments in the city.

    celebrated my friends birthday at this old school italian restaurant which was the perfect choice for 5 hungry girls we all got the Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana and split the burrata to start. this entire meal was so delicious i was constantly licking the plate. definitely not the best italian ive had in the city but its definitely a solid spot and super consistent! they brought out our food in what felt like seconds and it always came out so warm! this place is cash only fyi, but def recommend and would return

    Really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the fresh pasta! The pappardelle alla fiesolana was such a great dish (quite heavy) but phenomenal! The rigatoni pitti was also delightful! The veal meatballs were a little chewy, but still a great appetizer! Cheers!

    Definitely one of the best pastas I've had in this city for a long time. Authentic Italian touch. Servers were so sweet and had the right amount of euro style care I look for in my experiences. The restaurant isn't huge which also adds to its charm. People are flowing in and out of there creating a sense of lure! You have to be there and if you're not...what are you waiting for??

    Wow! Such a gem in West Village. I absolutely loved the experience from beginning to end. The service was fast, attentive, and very friendly. Ambiance is loud and great for groups. I am looking forward to returning.

    I am not understanding the low ratings to Bar Pitti. I stumbled upon the restaurant over a specific pasta which I will go over later into my review. I saw a picture, asked a friend if she knew where the restaurant was, I ate the pasta, and the rest was history. Hubs and I walked on over at noon for lunch. I felt like I walked into an episode of The Bear; where the restaurant staff eats together prior to opening the restaurant. I appreciated this site prior to being seated. We were given menus and I knew what I wanted immediately. We passed on appetizers because I didn't want to be full prior to recieving the main course. The Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana. It was a wide pasta noodle with a pink creamy sauce. It had the taste of a Carbonara due to the bacon but so much better. It was love at first bite. I already told the hubs that I plan to go once more while we are in New York. We also ordered the Tiramisu which was raved about and they weren't lying. It makes it to my "Top 3 Misus" list... if I had a list. It was so light and airy. Not overly sweet. And after a carb-heavy lunch, this was perfect. The staff was as friendly as a staff should be. Their Italian accents were music to my ears and the cost wasn't too bad. It gave me Carbone-esque pricing, but better. The only thing is that the restaurant is cash-only. No biggie.

    Is there gluten free pasta?

    Yes

    Is there currently construction in front of Bar Pitti?

    Yeah still there. Service still sucks

    Is this place a chill relaxed environment where you can read a book while enjoying a meal?

    Not after 530pm

    Do you like bar pitti?

    No. Host was rude taking "friends" for for 45 minutes while everyone stood on the sidewalk on a line like fools.

Particularly the penne funghi is to die for. Tried the linguine vongole clam pasta for the first time and was pretty good as well! Just wish there was more sauce and the clams were the tiniest size I've seen which was disappointing and to make matters worse, a good 1/3 of them were empty. Besides that, the meal was delightful and still great value as it was delicious with huge portions! Love! However, service at this particular branch is nowhere near as good as other branches. I understand it's busy and it's always incredibly crowded with people and cramped seating and loud music/voices but this was like no other. When I arrived party of 2, they had nearly 5 tables empty and yet we couldn't sit at any of them because the had to wait for reservations to see if they arrived and we had to wait 15 min but they said they'd let us know. We were forced to sit at the bar which the giant metal can of alcohol bottles took up 1/2 my seating/dining area and no one bothered to move it or ask if that was okay because obviously it wasn't but the didn't care. We waited awhile for the food to come and during that time we asked if there really wasn't any table availability since tables clearly open and the denied again even though reservations never came. Literally 3 tables remains consistently empty throughout our entire dining experience confined to the cramped bar area. They even closed the door, separating the outdoor diners which was weird and it became insufferably hot inside, even on a cold windy day. Bathroom situation here is also terrible as it is downstairs with steep narrow stairs and me and other customers almost bumped into each other and staff carrying multitude of food dishes and dirty dishes up and down the stairs. Never have I ever had such an undelightful experience going to bathroom at a restaurant. Additionally, sink water pressure either had no water coming out or a giant spray of water making it impossible to wash hands without getting a whole shower. This location really needs work. Only reason why I'm not giving it five stars is because I love Fumo as a whole. Just skip this location.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements.

We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
