    Aglio Olio e Peperoncino

    Perfect spot for a fun Friday night! Came here with my best friend and had the best time catching up over Italian food. I had the chili flake pasta, she had the bolognese, both were super tasty, and I loved that they were served on a pan, so cute! We each enjoyed a drink, and the service was excellent. The vibe was lively, with groups and couples dining around us, making it feel energetic and fun. Great food, great company, and a perfect way to kick off the weekend!

    Walking by and stumbled across this gem, lunch special $10 pasta, I'm sold! The ambience is amazing, felt like I was sitting in Italy, along with friendly great service, and delicious pasta, it was a great experience!

    Tiramisu

    Last night in NYC with my daughter. We were greeted by a lovely man in Italian, and a nice young lady who showed us to our seat at the bar, except it's not really "the bar". It was just a bar-like seating because you sit side by side. They also have swing seats which we thought was very playful, fairy lights all around. They make the pasta onsite and I dare say fresh out of their pasta maker. My daughter ordered a Cremosa and I ordered the Caprese Pizza. The cremosa was served on a 6-in pan which adds to the novelty. My caprese pizza was served on wood which adds to the charm. Heavenly!!! Now, you have to order a Tiramisu with your Italian dinner. So we shared the tiramisu served in a glass. Again really good, creamy, not sugary. In the end, we told the nice Italian man that my daughter is a student nearby and she got a card that says have 9 $10 pasta lunch and the 10th free. For a student, that is probably the best gift . Please visit this place. Enjoy!

    I was in the area and looking for something to eat! I had saved this place and didn't realize it until I searched through my list! Of course, I wanted to give it a try. Entering the establishment, I was greeted by a unique rustic decor that complimented the restaurant! They had the lunch special of several pastas for $10 dollars! I went with the Aglio Olio e Peperoncino! It consist of oil, garlic, and chili flakes! It was a simple pasta dish but tasted very good! Pasta was a bit firm for my liking but I appreciated the flavors! Sometimes simple is good! For the price though, it was worth it! Would definitely come back and try another pasta dish!

    One of the things that bring me joy in this world is when I randomly find a place that serves delicious pasta. Was in the west village area and accidently stumbled upon this establishment. Enjoyed the cute decor & atmosphere. Since this was our firsts time here, we tried to order as many items as possible to try out. Firstly, I was nicely impressed with their cheese bread that was served pre-meal. It went perfectly with some olive oil & balsamic. Like most others writing about the truffle pasta, we ordered the dish along with the Chacuterie board, Carciofi friti, and two other pastas (Bolognese & Aglio olio). I give credit for the fresh pasta and the way it was cooked. Truffle pasta is flavorful, thick & rich. Garlic & oil pasta had a kick to it which was good. The bolognese was ok, nothing bad but also fairly average. Drink menu lists negroni and other cocktails along with a small beer selection. When in West Village, I will consider revisiting again.

    My sister and I shared this truffle pasta and it was quite yummy. This place was little on the medium pricey side but we are in NYC and im not from here so don't take my price count into consideration. The place was cute with a nice little bathroom. The expresso martini wasn't my favorite. They have these cute swing chairs that made the place seem different from all other pasta spots. It seems like a cute place to have a girls night if your craving pasta or Italian food.

    Tartufo
    Cece L.

    This review is mostly for the Tartufo truffle pasta... it was so rich, creamy, and flavorful. If you're worried the truffle won't be strong enough to come through, fret not. My friend's pasta was just okay. It was tart and fresh but really paled in comparison to the tartufo. I'd love to try the truffle ravioli next time as our waiter recommended that. Great service, ambiance is nice. Seating is interesting and unconventional but actually a bit uncomfortable in my opinion.

    Prosciutto + Bufala cheese
    Isabelle P.

    This place is the real deal! Alessandro, the owner - from Italy, is incredibly passionate about incredible food, service, and giving every customer the best experience. We started with the prosciutto and Bufala. My friend got the Cacio e Pepe & I got the lasagna. Everything was soo fresh!! I got a photo of our appetizer, but unfortunately we inhaled the entrees before I could get a photo! The interior is done so well and has such a cool vibe to it with an open kitchen concept. The servers are all hustling and working incredibly hard to make every customer's experience amazing. I will definitely be returning and I would encourage anyone looking for a great, authentic Italian meal to try!!!

    Have you ever eaten pasta from a pan sitting in a swing? Proud to check this one off my list. Maestro Pasta is easily a contender for the cutest place I have randomly stumbled across while in the city to get dinnerr. The exposed brick wall, the LED neon signs, the view into the kitchen, THE SWINGS??? I think I could confidently list 15 more things that were great about this place Let's add more to that list: THE FOOD The flatbread was insane.... First off those cheese pulls??? I finally felt like a pro I can't put into words how good this flatbread was, which makes sense because it was chefs choice.. The Prosciutto was so fresh and paired with the arugula and parmasean cheese.... Absolutely delicious. Both pasta options were also so delicious. & how cute is the presentation. Something about eating out of the pan just makes it better, I can't explain it. The best part of this restaurant was that with the salt and pepper they had mini olive in bottles... literally so fresh and absolutely addicting. I am confident I could've drank it LMAO. The staff here was so nice and took such great care of us. They were so sweet... I was a bad foodie and didn't ask their names unfortunately but the woman sat us also was our waitress, so sweet!! & so funny we were cracking jokes all meal What we got: - Cacio e Pepe - Pasta con Polpettine - Parmacrudo Focaccia - Pollo e Palate Drinks we got: - Cabernet Sauvignon - Mojito Executive Chef: Damian's Rosella Check out his instagram: @chef_drose For more information & to hear more about my experience...

    Tartufo

    Hands down one of the most fantastic dining experiences we've had. We loved the ambiance, the dim lighting made for a romantic dinner in such a great part of NYC. We indulged in the Tartufo pasta, hats off to the chef! Wish we could relive this experience again as the wait staff made for a classy experience. You get what you pay for and after $45 for our entre + tip (no drinks), we're good to wait awhile until our next visit to the city.

    Espresso martini

    Honestly a tad under-rated. Came for lunch with a friend and had a great time. The decor and furniture are fun/cute. They have normal chairs but also swings you can sit on right at your table too. Small space though, probably like 14 tables total. --burrata salad- fresh. good amount of burrata and balsamic with beets. dont know if I loved it though. --pesto linguine- basic but so good. we got 1 dish and shared it between 2 people..great idea, we were full but I could have ate more! --espresso martini- delicious. not a regular one, they added some other flavors to it which I really liked. its on the sweeter side though (which i prefer) but keep that in mind. I see online that you can create your own pasta, but I didnt see that on the menu in person so not sure. but if you could... fantastic idea for those who want it fully customizable. the server took away our salad before we even said we're done but she was nice and offered to make us a new one. that's good service.

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.

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!
