An OG NYC Italian spot that still delivers in every way. Calm friendly atmosphere, delicious food with some good options for dietary needs and some unique offerings. Decent price point too! read more

A really good Italian spot perfect for dinner before a MSG show! It's very cozy inside and the staff is friendly and very attentive! The wine list is great as is the food menu. The Caprese Salad was awesome and very fresh. Our favorite was for sure the Shrimp Linguine. The shrimp were fresh and cooked great and the pasta was delicious! We also enjoyed the Tiramisu for dessert. read more

biricchino - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came in for dinner with my bestie after work one evening. We didn't have a reservation but we were able to be seated right away. This place is small but cozy. We ordered the Linguine Casalinga and Pappardelle ai Funghi. The portions were perfect to share between the 2 of us without having to take home leftovers. The flavor rich but not too heavy. We recommend giving this place a try! read more

Went to Biricchino on a Thursday night to have dinner with my sis. She's raved of this place and so I know I had to give it a try. We went in with no reservation and was seated rather quickly since it was the begin of dinner (530pm). The restaurant had a dimmed light vibe and open brick walls. The waitress was nice and took our drink order quickly as we took time to figure out what we wanted to eat. We had several dishes and all were so tasty. For apps we had Prosciutto with melon and Prosciutto with tomato, mozz and basil. The Prosciutto was so fresh and the melons were actually sweet. The star of the night was the mushroom pasta. The pasta was made from scratch and you could tell by the texture. It was so tasty. The cream sauce and mushrooms were cooked perfectly. My sis had the stuffed pasta and that was also really good. Unfortunately, I was full and couldn't get desert but I will be going back to try some more things. If you're by MSG and want some yummy Italian food, definitely stop by! read more

Went to New York last weekend for an Event at Peloton studios. No plan for where to eat afterwards, we did a quick check on Yelp and found this place. No reservation, but they were not busy that early about 5PM. By the time we left the place was almost full. The Service, Food and Ambiance were all great. So happy we found this place. If we are ever back that way, we will return. A gentleman did come out from the Kitchen to talk to the table next to us, they clearly knew each other, but his demeanor was kind and genuine towards the couple. read more

Amazing atmosphere and food from this smallish hidden gem in midtown. Definitely worth another visit.

Warm, comfortable environment with beautiful brick walls. Service is good. Appetizers were great. It's a busy environment but not too noisy to have a good conversation. read more

Very mediocre. The bread on the table was stale. The cacio e pepe was very disappointing. It was just fettuccine with olive oil and a bit of pepper and parmesan. The orecchiette was also underwhelming as if I could cook it myself at home. There are many other Italian restaurants in the city and I would suggest going somewhere else. The ambience was very nice. The staff was friendly. read more

04/25/23: Another great dine. Arrived around 6:45 pretty crowded but we had reservations and was seated immediately. Ordered pretty much the same items as previous visit only different was todays scallops special. Tasty, felt it could have been cooked a tad more. Accompanying sauce great blend. Food was yummy as usual. Please staff, definitely will continue as long as they sustain these delicious meals. Lastly I asked to see bottle of dessert wine to determine if the same I had while in Italy. The bottle was different but what a surprise asked if we would like to sample. Yuuum it definitely tasted like the one in Italy. May need to order next time I visit. read more

Delicious food, quiet ambience, great service. Convenient to Madison Square Garden. Orecchiette was wonderful and the Gamberi Al Sugo didn't disappoint. read more

Caesar salad barely dressed and didnt impress at all. Mescalita tasted like 80s cough syrup. Braised short rib tasted no better than something you'd get in a diner. Gravy tasted like jar gravy and they charge $40. Polenta was like instant polenta. Theres no hot appetizers. Hostess kinda seemed in a bad mood. This place was an upset for sure. read more

My friend and I were going to meet at the start time of Sleep No More. I was free before then to grab a delicious dinner for myself. I literally stumbled upon Birrichino. And I was glad I did. A somewhat earlier dinner, they were getting crowded by the time I left. Upon entering, I couldn't help but noticing the cozy and Christmas-y welcoming atmosphere. The rustic, exposed brick added to the charm. Service (via Jordan and thank you) was attentive. I kept it simple and quick. I started with a smooth Chianti as a warm bread basket made its way to my table. The aroma of the bread coupled with the olive oil was quite good. Shortly after placing my order of Shrimp Arrabiata, the pasta arrived. A hearty portion that included 6 large shrimp in a spicy sauce allowed me to savor its deliciousness. Oh my, it was really good. I wish I had a plate of it now as I write this review. No time for dessert or anything else, I quietly and happily left this charming restaurant to meet my friend. Excellent and looking forward to returning. read more

The food was delicious, the wait staff attentive and quick, and the ambiance very classic - it is a bit loud and hard to have a quiet conversation but the meal hit the spot after a long day of walking. Good choice near the train station! read more

Loved the whole vibe! Very intimate but lively setting. Ordered the rigatoni and it was delicious as was the Caesar salad. They make an extra cold, dirty martini, and the server was attentive. read more

I came here for dinner with a small group of friends. Our waitress was super friendly and sweet. They provided a generous amount of complimentary bread, sesame breadsticks, and olive oil for the table. We loved the arugula pear salad. The blue cheese, walnuts, and slightly sweet dressing paired perfectly together. For my main, I had the pappardelle ai funghi. It had a good amount of mushrooms and nice flavor from the shallots and rich cream sauce. My friends also enjoyed the orecchiette salumeria biellese and said the linguine nere was very flavorful. Their bottles of red wine start around $46. We enjoyed the Chianti. Though the restaurant is in a crowded neighborhood, it felt very under the radar so it's a nice option for a low key, satisfying Italian meal. read more

Do you want great Italian food in Chelsea. You must come here! Their manager Gloria ensured we were set up for success for a private room dinner. EVERYONE was impressed with the wonderful service and delicious food and we are a pick crowd. Our waitress ensured we were well taken care of. Gloria also worked hard to ensure I was happy with the menu for our guests. Everyone left full and happy to have had such a lovely space for our event. HIGHLY recommend coming here if you want good food and a private space. Thanks everyone for a tasty meal and great place to host our event! read more

So not bad at all. Service was great. Sausage app was barely edible. Not sure why they promote it. Salmon was excellent. Pasta dishes were very good. Decent wine list. I would absolutely return. Very close to MSG for a bite before a show read more

If you haven't been to Biricchino, you're seriously missing out! The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently amazing. It's my go-to spot for a romantic date or a girls night out. And I have to mention...their Caesar dressing is hands down the best I've ever had! read more

Great place in Chelsea for an Italian meal. Apparently the owners started out making Italian cold cuts so I thought either the sausages or salumeria plate was a good start. We chose the sausages and boy were they good. We ordered the small platter an md it was still a huge amount. All the sausages we obviously freshly made and full of labor with different spices. The platter had Aragua and grilled onions. A must get. We also got of their house salads which was wonderfully fresh and nicely garnished. For an entre we had the pappardelle Al fungi. This dish is jus mason yne blend of the heavy cream, pancetta and mushrooms with the pasta is just perfect. Truly an outstanding dish. Today on. Wednesday we found only 3 other tables occupied so this not the NYC I remember but the dining room is very mice with brick walls and granite tables and floor. They have a nice wine list l, cocktails and a few Italian beers. The cannoli was the only semi miss. It was just ok. All around a very good place to get your Italian fix read more

biricchino - Old brick walls - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This is the last restaurant we ate at from our trip in Chelsea / Manhattan NYC. Biricchino Italian family run restaurant that open in 1987 has been in business for over 30 years, the owner Salumeria B. started out serving the community by making homemade cured meats plus sausages. The bar is right there on the right as you enter, we were led o our table, the table's and the floor are made of cobblestone marble, the decor of the walls is rustic bricks..."so Italian looking" Our waitress brought an assortment of bread with bread sticks along with some olive oil, we ordered pear salad, Crosini con Fontina, Fettuccine Cacio e pepe, Shrimp Arrabbiata, Custard tart, Tiramisu and last a couple glasses of Mosacto wine, all of our food was very flavorful. We were here on a Wednesday night and the restaurant wasn't crowded at all, but we had to wait for our food a pretty long time. The name Biricchino meaning is mischievous / naughty. read more

The food and service was outstanding.. I was in a hurry because of the Knicks games. Next time I'll choose to miss the game ‼

Me and a few of my work colleagues were going to the NY Rangers game. Did a bit of research and decided to give Biricchino a try. Glad we did. Food was fresh Service was good. Only real complaint was that it was very loud. It was busy. But for some reason it was hard to communicate. All in all. A good experience read more

Enjoyed the rustic and cozy ambiance of Biricchino ,the food was fantastic and we split 2 entrees of chicken piccata and fettuccine Cassio e Pepe ,delicious!!!We enjoyed rich red wines from Italy and vanilla gelato and raspberry sorbet to finish .Our server Jordan was gracious and attentive.I accidentally left my bag behind and she set it aside so I was able to retrieve it the following day ( honest and helpful) read more

The interior is nice, but that's about it. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce lacked flavor. Service was inattentive, and we waited too long even though it wasn't that busy. Quite disappointing considering the prices and expectations. read more

Cozy italian eatery with warm wood interior. Sat at bar and musroom pasta was perfect!

We came on a Wednesday night so it was slow. We were able to get seated immediately. The place is spacious, there are bar seats and many tables. The server was great, explained the menu and helped us decide. We ordered a few aperol spritz for the table, pretty watered down in my opinion. For food, we ordered - 1. Mozzarella Caprese - pretty bland, so I asked for some salt and pepper 2. Caesar salad - basic caesar with perfect amount of dressing 3. Linguine Nere - usually love a squid ink pasta, but wasn't a fan of this one 4. Lonza di Maiale Tonnato - perfectly cooked pork loin but also lacking flavor The portions were also very small - I get it, Italian food, but for the price, I didn't want to leave and have to grab pizza. read more

Happened to find this spot in search of a restaurant for dinner Friday night. Usually restaurants around ktown are super busy friday night but this place is a bit tucked away and there wasn't a lot of people. They give a small basket of complimentary bread before your food comes. My friend and I ordered a Linguine Nere and Pappardelle ai Funghi. Both are super tasty. I definitely did not expect Linguine Nere to be that spicy but it's really delicious. We also got tiramisu for dessert which was the perfect thing to finish off our dinner with. The staff were really nice, we arrived rather late and finished really close to their closing time but they didn't rush us or anything and even said it was okay to finish our dessert. Will be coming back to try other dishes! read more

I placed an online order at 12:30 EST 11/18 for my son to pick up at 6pm EST. Received an email confirmation that order being prepared. Fast forward to 6pm EST, my son goes to pick up and a young lady rudely tells him the restaurant busy and online order probably cancelled. Like seriously, I placed the online order WAY AHEAD OF TIME AT 12:30pm EST. The online order never cancelled, either. Well, I had to call the restaurant in New York from Los Angeles, CA because ordered this dinner for my adult son as gesture for the holidays. He did not receive food until 7:10pm EST. We both ate here a week and half ago when I visited Manhattan, NYC so was to start a tradition of someplace where family would be in his thoughts through delicious food. All his family is based in California, so this experience sucked!! Unless your online food order customer service changes over time, I am rating Biricchino's low for the poor food pick up service. read more

We wanted have a nice dinner before the Knicks game and made a reservation at this great restaurant. The atmosphere was awesome and the restaurant was an Italian oasis in NYC. The food was great: we had the steak special (T-bones)and the were cooked perfectly. For starters we had the scallops and they may have been the best scallops I've ever had. I can't say enough about the anti-pasta! The best! Don't miss out on this place! I will be back regardless if there is a game or not. read more

We are from California and came to NY for a little get away. We were hungry for some authentic Italian food and saw Biricchino on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We walked in and got sat down right away. The place was super cute and very intimate. Loved the lighting and the decor. We had a few questions about the menu and the waitress was very knowledgeable and described the food very well. We ordered the fettuccine cacio e pepe and the pappardelle ai funghi. The pasta were made from scratch and were super good. The sauce was very creamy. We liked how there was bread and some olive oil that we can dip in it. We were super full by the end of dinner but loved all the food. We don't have anything to compare this to back at home so I'm sad that we can't eat here all the time. The price was very decent for the amount and quality of the food. Will definitely come back next time we come to NY. read more

Convenient location. Decent pasta and ability to order gluten free. Outside dining area is very nice, intimate and had a nice separation between the tables.

Biricchino was our 3rd choice for an early dinner after work for a couple of us working near Penn Station/Hudson Yards. We found it more by chance (could it be the Yelp algorithm toying with us?) because the first swanky choice had a 90min wait and 2nd choice took us much further from Penn Station. Well I am so glad things worked out as they did. Biricchino was such a pleasant surprise, I mean it only had 4 stars in the average review?! It's located at a corner a couple of blocks from Penn, nothing fancy, sorta like a hidden gem. Decor is fairly classic old school Italian restaurant. There was a private party happening in the left dining room, but the waitress found room for us in the front busy dining room. There seemed to be some expansion, renovation happening at the restaurant. We had a glass of wine each, a mixed green salad, then the most recommended pasta dishes from the Yelp community - pappardelle with mushroom and shrimp arrabbiata. So delicious and seriously satisfying! Five stars because the services was friendly, food was awesome, and price was so reasonable for this hyped up neighborhood. What a great find! Only regret is not getting a picture to post here! Will be back for sure. read more

Met with a friend over a pasta and wine dinner. Got the pancetta and fig app - big meaty chunks that wrapped nicely around juicy small figs. Sausages were clearly fresh, some spicey some chicken or pork. You've seen tons of reviews about the pappardelle with mushrooms and pancetta, and yes the cream sauce is tasty and light. The Ravioli is hearty as well. Clearly the pasta is fresh; the texture and consistency are the tell tale, and that makes the difference. Staff work hard, presentation of plates is very nice, and cocktails are well crafted, even if a little pricey. Wines are good pours by the glass and a nice selection. Did not have room for dessert, but those slices of tiramisu looked amazing! A few blocks from Penn station, so it's distant enough to not pull in every tourist. Seats did not fill up, so the vibe stayed nice and quiet. Absolutely will be back. read more

Saturday night, 8:00pm reservations. No Hostess, no bartender. No greeting at front door. Finally someone tells us to sit anywhere. We did. No one stops at our table for 15 minutes. We get up and leave. Two servers handling the entire restaurant on a Saturday night! Avoid. read more

It's a 3.5 - 4 stars. The food is really quite good. Reading through reviews, they're known for their cuts of meat I guess. Which now in hindsight I'm glad we ordered the prosciutto and melon platter. Delicious and a pretty good heaping amount of prosciutto. Maybe the melon could have been more in season and juicier. I came here for my birthday dinner the other week. It was way more packed than we both expected especially for it being around 8:30pm. But I think it was also a jewish holiday so you never know when restaurants are going to spill over. We both ordered the exact same thing: Papparadelle ai Funghi. Papparadelle is a top tier pasta for me and it didn't disappoint. There were also flecks of pancetta in it. Complimentary bread basket with olive oil. Nothing to write home about there. The bread sticks I could do without. Very crunchy and kind of stale. The bread was just pretty regular run of the mill. We had it with a glass of cab that was really quite lovely but maybe a dollar or two more expensive than desired. I feel like everything here is a-okay but the prices are high level Italian restaurant prices. Also, it was really drafty and a bit nippy in the place and really loud with the amount of people. I guess because it's on the small side and everything just echoes and reverberates. Little things here and there that I guess matter at the end of the day when you're trying to chill and have a relaxing dinner. Definitely worth checking out but I probably wouldn't be a regular. read more

Waited 20 mins after being seated before having to ask for a menu. Waited another 10m mins before receiving menu. Waited another 15 before we got up and left. Waitress never made eye contact, never asked for a drink order, never delivered bread to our table. Maybe the waitress was new, maybe they where busier than usual, but we won't bother going there again... read more
