Homemade Lasagna Gnocchi Pesto with Mussels Calamari Fritti
Mark A.

10/10 meal! Gnocchis are a lil small and so is the portion of calamari but taste is amazing as well as the service!

Fettuccine Alfredo
Maddie G.

While walking around little Italy we were feeling peckish when a server caught our attention and herded us into this wonderful establishment in good timing. He sat us at this gorgeous outdoor seating area and got us established with some water and fresh bread. The food was unbelievable, I had never before this moment tasted fresh noodles, it was completely different from what you usually get at any old restaurant claiming to serve 'Italian Cuisine'. The calamari was perfect and not chewy or overcooked whatsoever, even my mom who's not a huge squid fan enjoyed it! The seating area was clean and secluded as it surrounded you with real and fake flowers good for conversations with company! PS. Don't let the one star reviews based solely on pricing alone scare you away; if you were familiar with New York you'd know how pricing works, I personally believe the price matches the quality at this establishment!

Penne alla vodka and Lobster Ravioli
Resha D.

I have to be honest, this felt like a tourist trap. We were at a festival in Little Italy and chose to sit down and have a bite at 5:30 on a Friday. No wait. The pasta was better than expected, but certainly nothing to write home about. I did enjoy that the noodles were al dente and it came out pretty quickly, but it's also very saucy which I'm not exactly fond of. It was a large portion so there is potential for leftovers. The wine on the other hand was terrible!! They had only "House Wines" available in a glass and trust me it's not worth the $15. After one sip I had to verify that they brought me the Cab. She was nice and offered me to try a different house red but it was honestly worse. I could tell they genuinely wanted to find me something I would enjoy so they ended up bringing a sample of the Malbec which still wasn't good, but better than the cab. Since I was going to pay for it regardless I drank that. I appreciated the effort, the staff was nice. I do believe it was overpriced for the quality though. Also be mindful that regardless of the group size (it was only two of us) the gratuity is already included!

This place was absolutely amazing from the moment that we walked in we ordered lasagna is absolutely delicious. Got pasta ravioli very very good. We had tiramisu and cannoli for dessert and it was excellent and the wine that we got a Pinot noir was the best wine I've ever had Highly recommend. Would come back.

Penne Vodka, Fettuccine Alfredo
Kylie C.

I have been coming here for quite some time now and would definitely recommend. The place is small and intimate making it feel like a good place to get some food and to talk with some friends. The service was attentive, but didn't feel like they were on top of you. The only struggle is that it's in Little Italy and the area can get extremely packed at times. The bread they served in the beginning was nothing special and wasn't warm. I got the Fettuccine Alfredo and the penne vodka and they were both delicious. They were both extremely rich and creamy. If you're looking for a nice calm place to eat with friends and family, this is it.

Shrimp scampi
Mary D.

Came here on a Saturday night with a reservation for two and was seated quickly. We had warm bread set on our table shortly afterwards. Ordered the L'Amore martini and the shrimp scampi. It was good but a bit overpriced for $30. I will say the ambiance was noisy, but we were seated in a nicer area. Would recommend!

Meat sauce
Michelle H.

Well, i have to tell you. The pastas tasted great ! It's just a bit too creamy to my liking. The carbonara is not my favorite , because I like it more egg yolky than creamy. The meat sauce is delicious , but it's a bit too generic for me. The place offers authentic italian food but the pastas menu perhaps are not for me. One dish that you must try, is their marsala pasta !! I didn't have the chance to take a picture, but that pasta is DELICIOUS

Lobster Ravioli
Joel C.

Food here was ok nothing spectacular. Portions were big but be prepared to use lots of salt. Beat part of the meal was the mozzarella caprese. Lobster ravioli was completely tasteless and was drowning in sauce. Gnocchi was tiny little pieces and had no flavor. Service was just blah. Waiter did not want to engage in any way. He basically just stood at the table waiting for us to tell him what we wanted. Door person promised us a free appetizer when we came in. That is how he lured us in. At the end of the meal, the appetizer was charged and the waiter said he could not take it off. On the way out we mentioned it to the door person and he faked that he was surprised but did nothing about it. It's just a trick to get you in. The charge an automatic gratuity and some random "convenience charge" of 3.5%. Would not recommend. Our dinner for two was $200 and not remarkable at all.

*Lunch Veal Parmigiana*
Veronica D.

This is a an EXCELLENT restaurant with delicious Italian food and excellent service. our family enjoyed lunch here In June 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything about our experience was outstanding. We were especially surprised at how large the lunchtime portions were! And EVERYTHING WAS VERY TASTY! My husband really enjoyed his veal Parmesan (pictured) There are lots of choices for dining in Little Italy but L'Amore is definitely one you should try. You won't be disappointed.

Enisa K.

We had two entrees, and one appetizer. 2 drinks each - $188 with their standard gratuity. They automatically add 18% gratuity and some random convenience charges. Typically, I wouldn't mind paying but the service was TERRIBLE. We waited 45 minutes for our order to be taken. The servers were in such a rush that they wouldn't even come to the table to serve the food but extend their arm for us to grab it. The food was good. I do not recommend this place.

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. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. 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!

L'Artusi has been on my radar for a while, ever since I heard it was a hot spot and saw reviews of…read moreit being one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. 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.

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp.

Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative.

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!
