    Gnocchi Cacio E Pepe
    Dimpie S.

    Pleasantly surprising restaurant! Came here for a work dinner and they easily accommodated our group. They provide bread and breadsticks which were fresh and nice. Breadsticks were thin and crispy. Service was good despite being busy with a holiday party and very attentive. The drinks were good too, especially the spritzes! The spritz was very refreshing. I enjoyed the pizza and gnocchi as well. It was honestly better than regular cacio Pepe pasta. I would definitely come back here again!

    Caesar salad with chicken

    Visited here for brunch on a rainy Sunday with a large group. The interior is gorgeous and it's a surprisingly large space! During our time our service was very slow with a few confusions over our order. I asked if they had cold brew or just iced coffee, and was told then they had both. When we tried to order cold brew once everyone got there, I was told they didn't have cold brew which was odd. We ordered two sides of fries and asked for one truffle and one regular, both served were regular with no truffle. Both the Caesar and the La Voglia salads were very bland. Their dressings just didn't have any flavor. They forgot to make one of our salads so while everyone had their food, someone had to wait for a bit without theirs. We did love the bacon, side of berries, and the pasta! If you visit here, I would only recommend ordering the pizza or pasta.

    We went back to La Voglia for Mother's Day dinner and while the ambiance, service and food is still great, I have noticed the portion sizes have dramatically decreased since they've been opened in 2023. The portion sizes have gotten smaller and smaller. This is sad to see. For Mother's day they had a special pre-fixe $75 3 course menu and a smaller subset of the main menu. It was not the full regular menu as regularly offered but a smaller selection. I asked the server and they said as they have so many reservations the kitchen would not be able to accommodate the wide variety as they normally would on a regular day. If I would have known about the smaller regular menu, this would have been a no-go for me. For example, they normally offer 8 different types of pizzas, however on Mother's Day they only offered 4 different kinds. I looked at my older pictures and the portion sizes are definitely smaller, for example the fried calamari is much smaller, same as the tagliatella ragu di bologna and the octopus as well! All so much smaller. While this review is not against the service or the flavor of the dishes, this is mainly to contest the menu and how much smaller the portions have gotten. Disappointing to experience.

    I keep being satisfied with the ambiance, the service and the food/ drinks -so I'll keep going. Love this neighborhood spot.

    squid ink pasta

    Felt transported to Europe sitting outside on their patio on a beautiful summer day! Plenty of seating to walk in on a weekday night. Service was kind and attentive, complimentary focaccia and butter was delicious. The barbabietole salad was one of the best salads I've ever had - mix of beets, arugula, cheese, etc. divine! The squid ink pasta was cooked al dente and was delicious, but would probably opt for something else next time. ~$45pp.

    So this a fav spot of mine. Atmosphere, and food is excellent. I highly recommend the "Smoking Old Fashion" drink - Happy hour till 7 pm !! I love this place!! Socco & Lenny are exceptional men. A must! The after dinner Lemon Drop complimentary drink was unexpected. But gratefully appreciated.

    La Voglia is an unbelievable Upper East side gem that has me coming back again and again! Dinner here is a full experience - including fantastic food, a beautiful and spacious dining area, and the best service imaginable. The recommendations here were on point and you absolutely cannot skip the chef pizza, the pappardelle, or the unique and incredible Pollo Wellington! I was also blown away by the cocktails, especially the Oaxacan Glow and the Penicillin No.1645. This place makes for a great date night or a spacious spot to bring your whole family. I cannot recommend La Voglia enough!

    We recently visited for a woek-sponsored dinner and had the best time. We had a private room set up with our own waitress who was attentive to our needs and requests. Food was amazing from start to finish. The tomato bread with truffle butter was so unique! I got the branzino and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The presentation of all the food was beautiful and we had a great time. 10/10 would come again with friends!

    Elegant Italian restaurant with a huge capacity of outdoor and indoor sesting. Came here for a summer brunch and the walls are opened up, which creates a very nice resort feel to the place. I like my coffee strong and was pleasantly surprised that their iced coffee still retained good coffee flavor. All of our food came out perfectly cooked and tasty. Servers were friendly, checked on us often, and made sure our table was clean at all times. Bathroom was extremely clean and came with sturdy high end napkins. Would love to come back for dinner to try their pastas and other more classic Italian entrees.

    Complimentary Bread starter.

    What an elegant, charming atmosphere. This place found me, as I was looking for somewhere to dine on a Friday early evening with my daughter after her classes at Columbia. We sat outside and took in the scenery of the Upper East Side. The vibes were amazing. The service was great, and the food SPECTACULAR! I still remember the taste of everything I ordered, including the cocktail!

If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices.

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.

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!
