We met a friend here because of the convenient location. Ambiance is casual. Service was very attentive, checking on us multiple times and refilling our water (but we did have to flag someone down and find them to pay the check after waiting a while). Unfortunately the food wasn't very impressive. I got the fettuccine Alfredo for $16 which was just ok. A little on the blander side. I probably could've gotten better jarred sauce. I think they may be more known for their pizzas. Large portions--you can pick a lunch, single, or large size. read more

Harry's Italian - Fettucini Alfredo Lunch Pasta - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I went for lunch on a week day. The place was on the darker side but it was clean. The music was a little loud and the place wasn't crowded so I can imagine it would be very noisy when busy. The tables are very close together. My server was great. Very attentive. I ordered the chicken in the oven with eggplant. The lunch portion was a decent size with two thin pieces of chicken topped with thick slices of eggplant. The eggplant was cooked perfectly. It wasn't breaded which I liked but it was topped with Parmesan cheese. I really enjoyed this entree. The sauce was really good. I'm not exactly sure what it was since they don't have descriptions on the menu. It was tomato based. I also ordered a side of asparagus. Very large portion since the sides are meant to share. Delicious and cooked perfectly with a little crunch. My only complaint is that I ordered iced tea and got a refill but the price doesn't include free refills. I would've skipped the second one since I didn't finish it anyway. If it was written on the menu, I missed it. The server didn't mention it. read more

I really wanted to like this place -- it's so close to home -- but unfortunately, I won't be coming back (at least not for the pasta). The space itself is comfy and has a homey, casual hangout vibe. The staff was friendly enough, but not very helpful when it came to explaining the menu or offering recommendations. As for the food, it was just okay -- nothing memorable. While the prices aren't sky-high, the value just isn't there. I ordered the pasta vongole, and it came with literally three clams -- felt a bit ripped off. The pasta itself was oily and heavy, and I couldn't finish it. The biggest issue, though, was the million flies buzzing around. We spent most of the meal swatting at them, which really killed the vibe. Might come back at some point to try the pizza and see if it can be redeemed, but this visit was a letdown overall. read more

Craved basic spaghetti and meatballs over the summer and the sauce was so bland and meatballs were only ok. Generally meh meal that could have made at home from bottled supermarket sauce and frozen meatballs, not worth going out for. Maybe chef was off that day because I honestly thought after my first bite someone in the kitchen may have used the wrong red sauce for my order and regret not sending it back. Have been there for catered event parties before and the food has been good. Recently craved eggplant parmigiana hero and every place else closed so out of options on cold, wet night and ordered eggplant parmigiana sandwich to go; it was tasty panini-ish style so not a lot of mozzarella cheese or sauce like a hero like I was craving but still good. Perhaps better off just ordering pizza here but there are other good pizza and pasta options in the area. read more

Drinks were good, staff was attentive and friendly, the pizza was marginal at best dry and lacked a good sauce. read more

Harry's Italian - The pie - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I continue to patronize and enjoy Harry's Italian on 2 Gold Street. Speaking for myself, I'm guaranteed a good dining experience. My friend and I planned a celebratory birthday dinner--hers in a few days and mine (just last week) and immediately thought of Harry's. The space is large, rustic and cozy and accommodates any occasion. For us, Harry's is like an old friend. An old reliable. Service was attentive including water refill. We skipped appetizers and ordered our main straightaway. I always find myself selecting the Chicken in the Oven with Eggplant. For an additional $6 I included a side of Spaghetti. As you can see from the photo, a huge portion. My friend followed suit only with the Chicken Arrabiata. It looked really good which I tried in the past as well. They don't skimp on portions--my dish included 3 Chicken cutlets. So delicious. A smooth Chianti complemented the meal. I walked out stuffed. From their Fried Calamari and Baked Clams to their Chicken and pasta dishes, Harry's is sure to please. Pizza is good too! Solid. read more

Anyone who puts a name on their restaurant better deliver. Yup, they did. Great pizza, meatballs, salad and calamari. Great spot and location. Pizza was delicious . I mixed it up with a veggie pizza and cheese. The pizza was perfect squares of Nona's love. Yum. I loved the speakeasy vibe the restaurant had. Full bar so you can get anything you want. went here for a meeting with my new team. They picked. Service was perfect from the time you sat down to the time you left. 1 million pizza restaurants in NYC. This is one you shouldn't miss. MANGIA! read more

I first encountered Harry's last year during a brief dalliance with MealPal (a pre-paid subscription plan where you can order specific lunches throughout the week at certain establishments - definitely worth a look if you're working in the city consistently). They had a Penne Vodka lunch option that I grabbed one or two times for pickup. It looked like a decent Italian place, a bit hidden in the depths of the Financial District, and yesterday seemed like a good opportunity for a sit-down visit. If it hadn't been close to 100 degrees, I would have taken advantage of the pleasant outdoor seating section, which would have provided viewpoints of a pretty gentrified neighborhood. This is an area that's typically a bit congested with narrower streets than other parts of the islands, but this block actually has some space to work with. I stopped by around 1:30PM for a solo meal. If you're one of those people who is reluctant to go to a restaurant in the city by yourself, the chances are EXCELLENT that you will get amazing, primo service. I literally am batting close to 1.000 with this. I'm positive the restaurants are super nervous because by definition you have no one to talk to while you wait for your food. Their worry is your gain. It's a nice-looking place; you're probably a five-minute walk or so from the Seaport so there IS a bit of a touristy vibe here but nothing over the top - and for what it's worth, the vast majority of patrons I saw were clearly there on their lunch break like me. I perused the menu beforehand and settled on the lunch portion of the Gnocchi w/ Tomato & Basil ($16). I was provided with a free bread/oil combo to munch on while I waited, but the entrée showed up literally in less than five minutes. The bread was just okay - it's room temperature and honestly a little stale. I still had a pretty significant portion to consume once I finished the gnocchi, and I dipped it in the sauce rather than the oil, which tells you something. But it was still nice to have. The Gnocchi was solid - it WAS the lunch serving but it was a perfect portion for someone who accidentally had a cookie earlier. Have I had better versions of this? Yes; my all-time favorite is probably at E&V in Paterson, NJ, which has a melted cheese component that would have spiffed this up a bit, in my opinion. But it was good. I have a texture-based palate so I was a little suspicious at the thickness of the sauce, but it didn't cross the line for me - no giant chunks of tomato or onions to get me riled up. And the gnocchi itself was exactly the right consistency. I'd describe this as "mainstream" Italian - it doesn't have a homey, old school tablecloth feel but it delivers an above average pasta dish at least. And if you're a solo diner on a schedule, you can easily be out of here in less than half an hour. read more

Harry's Italian - Gnocchi w/ Tomato & Basil. - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

Food was not authentic and no flavor. The bread and dipping sauce they bring out had zero flavor. We had chicken Parmesan and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Nothing special and no flavor. I also tried the "mother-n-law" salad and again zero flavor - had to add so much salt/pepper and Parmesan to make it edible. The red sauce seemed like it was from a jar and the Alfredo sauce too. Restrooms were dirty and smelled. When I visit a bathroom inside a restaurant, I wonder how clean the kitchen is or is not! Service was ok. Ambiance was hot - need to fix their a/c or something. Do not recommend. read more

When we entered, there was no one so we figured Service would be fast. I was server was very nice as he took our orders. Very simple.! We had pizza with arugula. It was OK I was not blown away, The Air conditioning was not working in our favor that day, and it was pretty warm. That was one of the reasons why we chose to dine indoors instead of outside. overall it was OK read more

Ordered takeout. Flavor was nothing special. I can't understand why some restaurants don't put descriptions under their menu items. Luckily I like tomatoes but I would have never known this was a tomato based dish. I assumed garlic/oil based. Also it was more of tomato broth than a sauce. Millions of tiny pieces of asparagus. Shrimp were just cooked shrimp. No seasoning. Bowties were overcooked bc they were falling apart immediately as I started eating. My coworker was also unimpressed by her meal she ordered. Won't be ordering again. read more

I went here for brunch with my friends and we had a great time! We did bottomless mimosas and all got an entrees and it was only about $40 each (which is hard to find in NYC). I got a flatbread with arugula and prosciutto, it was a little bland but I still enjoyed it. The service was great and it wasn't packed so everything was quick and easy. Would come back! read more

Stayed in the financial district and was looking for some decent quick Italian food. Had never been to Harry's but the reviews seemed good enough. I wasn't expecting grandmothers homemade lasagna. But I couldn't even tell you that this was decent. It was honestly probably just sitting back there and was reheated. It had a stale tasting texture, the meat wasn't seasoned, and the sauce tasted like it came straight out of a can. I was really disappointed. Maybe I should have stuck with pizza because it seemed like that was the more popular dish. read more

Perfect casual Italian spot in fidi! We enjoy going here for dinner on busy weeknights. The baked clams are 10/10. The pasta is good and so is the chicken parm. Food also comes out quickly. I recommend for an easy option with no fancy "frills!" read more

Might have been the worst Italian food we've had in NYC. The service was OUTSTANDING. The food was horrible, and way too pricey. Charging for refills on sodas??? Is that how you pay the bills?

From the moment we stepped inside, we received amazing service. In a good location, place was clean, and the servers were attentive. Glad we arrived at the time we did as it got super busy right after we were seated! Cons-The wings we ordered as appetizers were good, the mushrooms not so much (dry, no flavor). I had a LIT & a Paloma, couldn't taste the alcohol- just juice and coke... The entrees we ordered- hands down DELICIOUS. Full of flavor, huge portions that neither 4 of us were able to finish even half of our meals!!!! If this was home, we definitely would have brought our left overs with us and I am sure it would taste as it was just cooked!!!! Would definitely recommend!!! Good for kids, accommodating, good music, dimly lit atmosphere! read more

Haven't been here in a few years but used to go all the time. Food used to be very good but the quality now has gone down significantly. Plus they charge a credit/debit surcharge which I think is pretty disgusting. I thought debit card fees are illegal in New York?

Great Italian place in the downtown area. Looks like a classic with pictures on the walls. My colleague brought me here for their pizza and she was not wrong. Pizza was delicious. You can buy the full plate (10 square slices) or the half (6 square slices). Pizza is not too thick nor too thin. The dough is well cooked and soft with crunchy edges. We added mushrooms, pepperoni and arugula for topings. They were not stingy with the arugula. It was like a whole salad on the pizza. Service was ok. We went for lunch and get pretty busy. Can wait to come back again, maybe try their pasta?! Hmm... read more

Stars: 4 for the service, gracious and efficient; 2 for the food, at least what I had for lunch the other day. Met friends for lunch and an afternoon together in the neighborhood. This was a convenient location to meet and eat. We were among the earliest lunch arrivals. Server immediately offered water choices, tap was fine - and our glasses were refilled before they were half empty, several times while we were eating and chatting. After we ordered, we got slices of bread and a dish with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. So far, so good. One friend had the chicken parm sandwich and 2 of us had the eggplant parm sandwich. The chicken one was acceptable, but the eggplant? Not so good. It was so overcooked that both of us had to cut it with fork and knife; too tough to bite! Fairly tasteless, sad to say. Each half of the sandwich had a slice of barely melted cheese (was it provolone or mozzarella, couldn't tell). We ordered beverages after our sandwiches. I would have preferred a decaf cappuccino with nonfat or low-fat milk - but they had neither! I was surprised that an establishment this large doesn't offer those options. All that said, I guess you get what you pay for, as the price of the sandwiches was reasonable by today's standards ($12. for the eggplant parm, $15. for the chicken), but I don't think I'd go there again. read more

I haven't ever gotten past the arugula salad and standard cheese pizza that I split with a friend. A lot of complex flavor in these simple items is why I give it a five!

First time visiting. Really good experience. The service was great, as were the cocktails. Got the margarita, which was excellent. We ordered wings for an app, which were shockingly fantastic. I'd give them an 8.2, which I would not have expected for an Italian joint. Their pizza, which I have ordered many times for delivery, was even better in house. Absolutely love their old school style red pie. We also got the vodka parm, which was fine, nothing fantastic but very good. Pretty corporate style atmosphere as opposed to a small Italian joint, but nice. Will be back. read more

A solidly decent Italian place. Very family friendly - are here with my mom and my daughter. The pizza was very good (my daughter loves peppers, and they delivered) and the bread with olive oil and balsamic was very good as well. I had the shrimp linguine and it was fine. The pasta was al dente and the shrimp was tasty, but the food was lukewarm. Service was quick and very friendly. Prices were reasonable. I'd go back again. read more

I have had enjoyed Harrys twice during my travels. This last time i ordered take Pizza and Buffalo Wings. The wings were served with a generous helping of blue cheese. There was no questions about getting ranch dressing with them, a stance i appreciate and respect. The pizza is excellent. I would not call the crust thin, but not overly thick either. The ingredients are upscale and while i found the meatballs on my pizza a bit bland the fresh basil punched though. Overall great food. read more

Highly recommend. Rolled up- judged a book by its cover... looked like another basic bland Italian spot...but boy was I wrong. The food was DELICIOUS! Everything was so flavorful and just what I want when I think of a classic Italian Restaurant. The cocktails were perfect and the service was above and beyond delightful. My only critique is the area where we sat was outside, which was lovely, except that it's kind of in a public courtyard area next to a hotel and though it was cordoned of by a rope- it seems a bit messy/dirty just from public use... the restaurants outdoor atmosphere would benefit greatly from just maybe a bit of foliage or planters around the perimeter of the dining tables- and maybe a candle or two on the outdoor tables... other than that, it was a home run! read more

I went here with a large group that we made reservations for a few days prior. The restaurant was nice and the ambiance was good. Once we arrived we were seated fairly promptly.

Went here for lunch a few weeks ago. The food was good and the prices were reasonable for the pasta. There is a decent amount of seating and the atmosphere is casual/bar/italian vibes.

I didn't have the panini but heard the bread was very good. read more

Pretty decent place for bottomless brunch. I love the complimentary bread that was given to us along with olive oil that has a dash of balsamic. The mimosa was awesome but I did discover that bloody Mary's are not for me. For food, we got "The Hangover Pie" which was really good with the pepperoni and fries on top. The omelettes, on the other hand, were meh. I would probably get something else instead the next time I come here. Overall, a decent bottomless brunch place to visit at least once. The ambiance is good and there are plenty of spaces to accommodate groups of various sizes. read more

My hunny usually puts me on to delicious spots due to his job catering their multiple work events. On numerous occasions he's brought home food from Harry's Italian and each time I fall more in love with the place. Although I haven't had the pleasure to dine at Harry's the takeout from here is spot on. I'm a sucka for Italian food. Hey, what can I say I'm a carb type of girl -- Mamma Mia! For the past couple of years our tradition consists of cooking for each other on Valentine's Day. It's way too expensive to dine out and we really enjoy catering to one another by putting together a delicious spread. One year I decided I wanted to take the time and pressure out of cooking on V-Day and decided to have our day catered so that our night could be extra special. I asked my hunny his thoughts and he was totally on board to get our V-Day meal catered from Harry's. We decided on House Salad which came with a delicious Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing, Penne Vodka, Chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Rollatini, and Rosemary Focaccia Bread. Everything was superb. From our hearty meals to the packaging of our V-day dinner, our entire meal was spot on. Each time we have Harry's it tastes better than the last time. It's truly a treat. Harry's went as far as including serveware, plates, and utensils. That's a major plus. I mean who wants to wash dishes anyway? We decided we want to have our 2020 V-day catered by the incredible Harry's once again. read more

Decent high-end Italian spot. Good service and decent beer selection. We shared an assortment of appetizers. My favorites in this order were: -the oven-baked wings ( great flavor, fall off the bone) -side of sausage -side of meatballs I also got a Orecchiette Rabe n Sausage, which was a nice serving size for the price. The only thing I didn't care for much was the baked clams as they were too much bread crumbs, and overcooked. Bathroom was also interesting, but good thing I didn't really need it. read more
