Came here for dinner with a friend, very small high quality Italian restaurant in Fidi. I liked that considerably it was cheaper than most Italian places in NYC. I got the lobster ravioli which was delicious but there was a lot of other stuff that also looked yummy on the menu. Friend and I shared the burrata which was also very good. Pinning this as a great Italian spot, service was good and prices were good.

You can tell how it's undercooked in this pic and what's up with all of that oil?

Cotenna is now offering pizza nextdoor and it's called Briciola. We ordered for our group today and unfortunately, no one was pleased with it. The dough was undercooked, they forgot to add parmesan on top and for the bresaola topping - they give you 3 small 1/4th slices (exactly 3) for the entire pizza so the majority of the pizza doesn't have the topping. So, not only was the dough not cooked properly (you can see in the pics that it's under which is why it didn't puff up) and it wa a lack of toppings, but when we called, we didn't get any follow up. We wanted to love their new pizza offerings but unfortunately, it's a no go.

Truffle gnocchi, Grilled Octopus Salad, Tagliatelle Bolognese, lamb chops
Shari L.

The best meal we had in New York City. Based on prior reviews, we ordered: - the octopus salad: grilled octopus in well balanced salad with nice flavours - lamb chops: absolutely bomb. Perfectly cooked with flavours that seep through - the best lamb I've had in a while - truffle gnocchi: decadent, a bit heavy for one person but perfect for sharing - tagliatelle bolognese: excellent complexity and depth of flavour to the sauce Overall everything was absolutely delicious. It's a cute and cozy spot, good for a date or intimate gathering with friends. Service was very good. Will happily return next time I'm in NYC!

Cruising the streets at 6pm and found this restaurant, luckily they had two seats at the window, looking out to the street. My son and I had the dinner special, shrimp and crab pasta and a bottle of Gavi. Amazing fresh hand made food, highly recommend this restaurant.

Better than most pasta. These dishes as takeout were better than half the sit down dine in pasta I've had in this city, if that alone doesn't deserve a high rating I don't know what does. The bolognese and the broccoli rabe n sausage orchiette were both stellar. I will definitely be in to experience the restaurant soon.

Burrata
Ari K.

I went here for dinner to catch up with a friend. It's a cute small vibe with incredible food and service. The waiters checked in on us regularly, and knew what to recommend. We got burrata to start with. It was one of the creamiest burrata I've had. I got the bolognese and my friend got the gnocchi. I am definitely coming back!

Grilled Octopus Salad
Jessica C.

Small, hole in the wall restaurant. I love the octopus salad dressing and the mounds of microgreens were fresh. Well deserving of a Michelin bib gourmand

BIETOLE e CAPRINO
Cora S.

I had a great time dining alone at the bar. I thought the food was excellent and I appreciated the wine selection. Fine service and it definitely started to get busy as I left and it's quite a small space

Small place in west village Had reservations but asked if we wanted to sit at the bar Hostess started the meal in negative fashion since restaurant was pretty empty Ordered tagliatelle octopus salad and tuna tartare All pretty good 8/10 considering price Just felt a bit rushed through it all No bread service - kind of odd If on a budget decent place but much better Italian restaurants in the city

Garlic shrimp
Havana J.

One of hidden gems of west village side of things. I only discovered spot from my co-worker when we had our offices around the corner. The lunch specials were spot on; pasta was always on point. Staff amazingly generous and nice. Always good place to go for dinner/lunch. Highly recommend

Tagliatelle Bolognese
Jonathan B.

Great little Italian wine bar and Italian spot in the West Village! We got in as a walk in on the Sat after V-Day but got the corner seats at the bar, which we didn't mind. But probably best to make a reservation. We each got our own quartino of wine (glass and a half) and shared the kale and pecorino salad and the tagliatelle bolognese. Both delicious and definitely recommend. I think you're supposed to get bread but they must have missed us. We didn't need it anyway. Great spot for a date or a more intimate spot to get together with a friend.

Marina M.

Everything here was delicious! It is a very intimate restaurant. It seems like a really nice place to have a date night or a small girls night. The waitress was also really sweet and tentative to us especially since we were a larger party. All of us loved each dish that we got, including all of the appetizers and the dessert. The drinks were also really strong and tasted really delicious. I would come again if given the chance :)

BRUSCHETTA ai FUNGHI e MONTASIO
Hari K.

Really this is a 4.5 because of affordability; for a WV pasta spot to all be sub $20 is fantastic. It's a small charming venture, usually you don't need a reservation but it isn't big so doesn't hurt to make one. The bruschetta was pretty simple but oh boy, that cheese was delicious. The pasta dishes we got were solid; not really wowing but I was pleased with the quality of a quick neighbourhood spot. I probably wouldn't itch to come back here, but it's just a convenient cheap nice going out meal so it can be added to the rotation!

10th October 2026 Hudson Yards…read more Partly Cloudy 65°F Ci Siamo did not disappoint again. We were back to celebrate my birthday (belated) but we continue to celebrate for the entire month. Thank you, darling hubby! xo Ci Siamo serves some of the best sublime delicious Italian cuisine in the city under the helm of superstar Chef Hilary Sterling. Our merry party of five indulged with : - Carmelized Onion Torta - Pizza Bianca - Cast Iron Focaccia - Stracci pasta - Rigatoni Alla Gricia - Olive Oil Poached Orata - Braised Lamb - Limon Tarte dessert -Basque Cheesecake Accompanied by splendid wine selection.

9/17/26 I was in Harlem for a short while then made my way…read moreback to Penn Station and decided to stop by this restaurant. It was hard to find gps wise if you've never been there, I went past it by a city block. It's located in a gigantic plaza that you get to by the stairs outside. There was free wine in the elevator that you really couldn't see in (very dark) I didn't indulge in it the first time. It was pretty busy inside, since I was a party of 1, I asked if it's mandatory to sit by the bar and it wasn't. I was seated on the left side across from the bar at a smaller table by the window. At first I was bothered by the foot traffic behind me but pushed the table further in & felt better. Now for the food: I ordered the caramelized onion torta and listen it was wayy too rich for just one person, this is definitely a sharing appetizer for dare I say minimum 3 people. The richness was definitely overkill, I brought my own sparkling water but ordered an Arnold Palmer to calm down that flavor. While it had a good crust on the cheese and nice pastry on the bottom, I wish I had ordered something else. Quite expensive to not enjoy it (5/10). I passed on the vegetable part of the menu. Entree: Cavatelli Allo Scoglio, so delicious. I've never had that type of pasta in a dish before but it compliments it well, cooked to perfection. It comes with plenty of crab and the lemon zest balanced the dish just right against the acids of the tomatoes. (9/10) Dessert: I was torn if I should order dessert or not but what's a meal without sweets. They had plenty of gelato flavors but I decided to go with hazelnut and man I was not disappointed. BEST gelato I've ever had. It was so creamy and delectable that I still think about it to this day. The cup it comes in seems small but they pack it with more than you think. I almost passed on the candied hazelnuts on top but please don't do it lol, chefs kiss just perfect. (10/10) On the way out I was going to try the wine and grabbed a glass but again in the dark elevator I turned on my flashlight to see the cups there were all used. I think they should come around often to leave clean glasses or put up a sign to identify which are clean and which aren't. Overall I'd return for the entree and dessert and maybe try a vegetable option over the other appetizers. Also, props to my waiter for being attentive and kind.

It's hard to find affordable-ish dining in Chelsea these days but Fumo definitely hits that mark…read morewith mixing Italian fine dining and affordability. There are numerous locations now in the city but this was my first time going and I was definitely eyeing it for awhile. They do weekday lunch specials of $14 pastas, boozey weekend brunches for around $24/25(not including food), and $12 Sunday dinner specials on entrees as well as happy hours on weekdays from 4-7pm that include: $7 snacks, $8 wine, $5 beer, $9 spritzes, and $9 wells. I happened to come in for Labor Day Brunch on Saturday. We both said we were going to do unlimited but honestly could only finish about a pitcher of mimosa and they only charged us for the one pitcher was the nice part. I went with Carbonara Pasta and my boyfriend had the egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich with fries. I'm not gonna lie, I've never gone to aycd brunch and have not finished my food but I could not finish my entree it was so massive and filling. I haven't had a pasta this rich in ages and it was so so good and I am all for not having those skimpy little portions. He couldn't finish his sandwich either. I tried one of the fries and it was nicely battered thick cut wedge fries. Maybe I haven't been eating out alot lately but I was legit impressed. The staff was wonderful and thoughtful. The cafe in itself is very cute and Italian with black and white marble in the bathrooms, white marble bar top, hanging plants, interesting light fixtures. I'm definitely going to make a point to come back soon.

The experience was very disappointing. The menu labels many items as gluten free, but I was told…read morethere's cross contamination. This means those dishes aren't truly gluten free for people with celiac disease or anyone who has to avoid gluten. When I pointed that out to my server, he just gave me a blank stare. I tried to explain why labeling those items as gluten free is misleading, but he seemed completely disinterested, even annoyed, dismissed what I was saying, and simply responded that the pasta is gluten free. I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.

They were pretty busy for a Tues night when we got there, but they had a good table ready for us. They noted that we were celebrating an anniversary and brought us out champagne without having to say anything or ask. We ordered a lot! Started with an espresso martini and my husband got a bourbon drink. The espresso martini did not disappoint! Then we got the mushrooms with a fried egg on top, foccacia bread and the crispy potatoes as sides. The crispy potatoes were my fave. They had great flavor and crispiness. For entrees, we got three pastas. The spaghetti (which was a white sauce spaghetti), the bucatini and the truffle ravioli. They accidentally brought us a cacia e peppe out instead of the ravioli so we got to try a 4th. The pasta was ALL so delicious. The ravioli was my fave. The spaghetti was also very unique because it didn't look or taste like a tomato sauce. The service was great and we really appreciated the nice extra touches with the champagne toast and what I considered a better table than most! It was a corner table on the top floor for 4 people when we were only two people! Gave us some extra space so we weren't on top of another party. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back the next time we go to NY!

The interior was completely packed, and the noise level was high enough for my smart watch to complain. To sample a bit of everything, we shared two orders of focaccia, four pastas, and one dessert. HOUSE-MADE FOCACCIA - 10 Super bouncy with a bit of chew, this was probably the best focaccia I've ever eaten. It came generously drizzled with olive oil and alongside chopped peppers drenched in even more olive oil, which added a nice little kick. We highly recommend starting with this. TAGLIATELLE - 27 Out of the four pastas, this was my absolute favorite. I love the thin yet chewy texture of the tagliatelle, and the bolognese sauce was rich and hearty. Finished with just the right amount of Parmigiano, both the pasta texture and sauce were sheer perfection. PICI 'CACIO E PEPE' - 23 This was such a simple pasta, yet so delicious. It was incredibly creamy and cheesy, with hints of fresh black pepper flavor that blew standard at-home black pepper grinders out of the water. Despite it being the simplest pasta of the night, I enjoyed it immensely. RIGATONI - 32 This pasta was simple yet slightly innovative, featuring sausage paired with a broccoli-based pesto. There was a slight bitterness that was polarizing among our group. While this wasn't my favorite pasta, I appreciated the creativity. PERCIATELLI NERO - 35 This dish packed in more components than just pasta and sauce: plenty of crab, tomatoes, and crispy breadcrumbs on top. However, the combination wasn't very memorable. None of the flavors really stood out, and it was my least favorite pasta of the night. OLIVE OIL CAKE - 14 Served with a pile of golden raisins and fancy whipped cream, this ended up being a bit of a miss. The raisins were a bit too sweet, and the cake's texture was uneven -- some bites were soft and moist, while others felt dry. A couple of others in my group also felt the same way. Overall, I'd give L'Artusi a 4.5/5; it was mostly hits with a couple of misses. The pasta portions are quite small. Since each dish is primarily carbs and sauce, I'd imagine you'll likely need an appetizer or a pasta and a half to leave full. Still, I'd definitely come back for the focaccia, tagliatelle, and the cacio e pepe.
