Everything was wonderful! Food was delicious and the servers were so attentive. loved talking to the owner and learning the history of Nitties! read more

I like the place, the veal Sorrentino was good, but could have been more tender. The meatballs were good; the sauce was better. The service was good; the owner was better. It feels pretty historic but after a friendly chat this location is only about 7 years old, they moved from Lexington where they stood for over 30 years! That's a lot of hard work and dedication, you can tell it's part of old NY or at least inspired by it. Old NY is fading out fast and Nittos at least has an undertone you can feel and taste. I wish they had matches, I think maybe they might have back in the day so maybe there's one or two in rotation I can snag one day, here's to hoping. I love a good restaurant matchbook. Very rare these days. read more

This is a cute little restaurant and after reading the reviews, we were looking forward to trying it. When we arrived, the restaurant was mostly empty - there was just one other table occupied. The person who seated us still gave us one of the worst tables in the restaurant. We asked to move and she seemed annoyed, but allowed it. Our server arrived and he was friendly and attentive. We ordered Mozzarella Sticks, Bucatini Pomodoro, Eggplant Parmesan sandwiches, Tiramisu, and Miami 1981. The mozzarella sticks arrived hot and they were good. Everyone enjoyed them. My daughter liked her Bucatini Pomodoro. The Eggplant Parmesan Sandwiches were so dry that it was like eating stacked dry toast, but the french fries were very good. The cocktail was sweeter than I expected, but still good. The kids enjoyed the Tiramisu. We enjoyed the ambiance; I just wish the food had been a bit better. Maybe it was an off day. read more

Nittis Italian Restaurant in Hell's Kitchen - Bucatini Pomodoro, 2024 - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

We went to Nittis around 5pm to have an early dinner before our 7 pm broadway show. It went perfectly! We shared an appetizer with the best vodka sauce I've ever had. Next my husband had pasta and I had a kale and pear salad. The cheeses on both dishes were superb. We tried to scrape up every last bit so we wouldn't miss anything. The service was impressive. We didn't tell them we needed to be done in time for the show but obviously they assumed. I'm wondering if they sell their vodka sauce? read more

I'll start with the service because it was great. They are quick and accommodating. They are experts on what and when to order-including what is best for to-go options which we needed for the person in our party who didn't come to dinner. They brought bread to the table-I didn't try it because I was saving room for my Frutti Di Mare. My dinner mates ordered drinks and enjoyed their Veal and Chicken dishes. They also enjoyed their crème brûlée and cheesecake for dessert. I myself loved my dish and finished with the blueberries and cream from the crème brûlée. It was a steady crowd, I booked a reservation on the website to be sure we could get in. Recommend you do that on high traffic nights for theater. Great vibes and we were seated in a corner booth. The weather was nice so the side was open so we had fresh air coming in. And a great view for people watching of all the passerbys. read more

Popped in here on a rainy afternoon while walking in Hell's Kitchen. The reviews looked good on the trusty Yelp! App, so we figured it was a pretty safe bet. There was some good and some not-so-good. (+) Cozy, but comfortable little dining area. The bar area was set up very well. It was a nice little respite from the heavy pouring rain in NYC this afternoon (+) They serve Cacio e pepe! The dish was very solid. Not as good as I've had in NYC and Rome, but better than anywhere else I have had it, including a handful of times in Las Vegas. (-) At some point, an order of fries were delivered to the table. They dropped them off and said, "Enjoy!". We told the server we didn't order fries. He jus smiled and said to enjoy. So we did. lol After a handful of bites, they came back and swooped the basket of fries away without any kind of acknowledgement. We just kind of looked at each other like "oooooookay?" lol I'm pretty sure there are a lot of ways that that situation could have been handled better. None of them happened here. (-) Price didn't seem to match what we had. Two pasta dishes and 2 diet sodas ran roughly $75. (We were NOT charged for the French fry sample :P). Seemed a little on the pricey side. (+/-) Service was okay, but the way the fries situation was handled seemed a bit tactless and certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. Nitti's wasn't terrible, I just expected better. 3 stars. read more

I had Caesar's and Eggplant Parm. The salad was really good, not so much on eggplant. The pieces were too thick and not fried, so it was too "veggie" for me. Service was good as well as ambiance in general so maybe just me! read more

Went to eat here two nights in a row because the food is that good! Nittis has become the go-to restaurant my parents select when I come visit. They always accommodate their guests and provide quality food and service. Love the manager Antonello and the server Ignacio (I'm sure I'm messing up their names but you'll know who I'm talking about when you go LOL). Must have the fried calamari, banana bread pudding, and any pasta dish it's delicious. read more

This place is amazing. The food, service, and atmosphere are all great. We ordered several things including lamb chops, lasagna, chicken parm, and all of it was delicious. The atmosphere is very cool, with art throughout the space. We had their chocolate chip cookies with steamed milk for dessert and ended up ordering it again the next night. My son spent some time drawing on the paper placemat and then gave it to the owner, Nitti. Nitti was so friendly and kind, and he spent some time sharing with us that all of the artistic elements in the restaurant were designed by his son. Overall, this is a great restaurant run by great people. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

I had some great delivery from here tonight! This was my first time trying their dinner menu. I came for brunch a few months ago and really loved the food. I was excited to try dinner here tonight, especially because they had $5 off on seamless! I ordered the caesar salad and the cacio e pepe pizza. The pizza was the STAR of the meal! It really tasted like cacio e pepe pasta in pizza form. The crust was paper thin and so delicious. There was so much flavor! I would order this again and again. The caesar salad was good, but I felt it was overpriced for the size and quality. I feel like it needed more croutons, especially for $14. I would probably skip this next time. I think this is my new go-to for pizza in Midtown! Next time I would love to try the vodka pie. I bet it is awesome! read more

We were desperately looking for places to eat in New York when we stumbled across this place. We didn't look at reviews and just hoped for the best. Lucky for us this place was amazing. The drinks were all amazing. I got a Miami 1981 and it was delicious. The only thing I will warn about is this drink has an egg white foam on top and has a bit of a strong smell. I got the Pasta Cacio a Pepe and my partner got the Pappardelle Ragu & Burrata. Both were delicious !!!! The music playing inside was nice and the lights were dim. Something I loved about this restaurant was the bathroom. It looked like a mini club and me and my roommate had a blast. I would certainly come back to this restaurant. read more

I love the atmosphere but for me the experience ends there. The staff were friendly and attentive. Well, the restaurant was open super late. The egg plant parmesan was all breading. The fried calamari had no flavor. The marinara was fair. The meatball was the shining star but still lacked the flavor you expect at an Italian restaurant in NYC. read more

Found this gem Walking looking for a cozy place to have date night . Saw the menu and we immediately knew we wanted to step in. The maître d' was so welcoming and hospitable. He ensured that we were comfortable, took our coats and then frequently came to ask if we were ok. I haven't been to a restaurant in years with such great customer service . Even the owner came and asked our meal was ! The food was spectacular ,I was enjoying my dates company so much that I didn't take pics . We got the Bolognese and Caesar and split it. I missed old school NY restaurant service like this . Thank you and I'll be back :) read more

Do NOT sleep on this little nugget of a place. If you're visiting the theater district no need to eat there... stroll a few blocks to this sweet little Italian eatery. The pizza was old school perfect. It was fresh, not overly cooked or loaded with cheese, the crust was fantastic and the tomato sauce actually tasted like fresh tomatoes. I didn't get the limoncello but people around us were losing their minds over it. I had a generous pour of house Chianti which made this wine snob really happy. We were too full for dessert but I suspect it's pretty impressive and made fresh like everything else. There wasn't even a wait. Perfect NYC hidden jewel. read more

Not too busy on a Saturday night. They have a pretty good variety of menu items. The bread and oil they bring out is really good, it's almost like a garlic bread. Drink prices are kind of high and a bottle of the house cabarnet was $60. The calamari appetizer was a generous portion and pretty good. Unfortunately most of our entreees were just ok or not good at all. Both people in our party who order fish (salmon and red snapper) said it didn't taste fresh at all. I had a veal dish (veal sorrentino) which was alright but kind of tough and definitely lacking some salt or seasoning. I enjoyed the eggplant parmesan my brother had. Overall probably wouldn't return as we spent $400 and no one really felt satisfied. read more

Hidden gem! We walked by and stopped in simply because my daughter wanted mozzarella sticks.. little did we know the entire dinner would be absolutely amazing! We had mussels, mozzarella sticks, pizza and chicken cannelloni. There was a bit of a blip with service but they gave us a free glass of wine while we waited. It was no problem because everything was delicious.. including the wine. We will definitely return on future NYC visits. read more

Nittis Italian Restaurant in Hell's Kitchen - Mussels - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Nittis was a fun late night dinner place to visit while in the city. It was about a mile away from the hotel at Times Square so we enjoyed the walk after an evening at the theater. They offered us complementary bread basket which contained SCRUMPTIOUS garlic bread and twists (10/10). Our meal started with calamari, which was just okay. We shared a burrata ragu parpadelle that was to die for! The star of the show was the tiramisu! It was not too sweet but moist and flavorful. It was a nice touch that they served it with a sparkler and sang happy birthday. I took one star off because on Yelp it says that they were open until 2:00. People we knew recommended this place because they said it was open late, but when we got there at around 10:45, the server told us that the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes and that we'd need to order soon. I thought this was strange for a Saturday night so I asked them about it and they said that they close early when there's not a lot of patrons. That seemed strange to me and something that they should clarify on Yelp. Other than that, the experience was pretty good. read more

Nice restaurant in a good spot away from touristy areas. Great for dates and laying low away from crowded spots. Food is good value overall. I don't think it is a true Italian restaurant just one that serves Italian style dishes but not in the traditional style. Nothing wrong with it of you're looking for a good date meet spot. read more

Very friendly staff, they came over a couple times to check in on us and the owner was super friendly. I could tell the vibe was very intimate and almost felt like family in a way. The food was decent, my friend and I had the ricotta bruschetta that was pretty good. They also do give a small bread basket with olive oil complementary. The bread was really good. We had the fall special pastas, I cannot remember the exact names (i will try to take a look and edit this review if i find it) but they were like half moons! The dessert was so good as well, portions were larger than we expected. Although we stayed late we were not rushed at all as we caught up and drank some prosecco and wine. Will be coming back here! read more

Nittis Italian Restaurant in Hell's Kitchen - Tiramisu Creme Brule - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant during a weekday happy hour. Intimate, cozy atmosphere. We elected to sit at the bar, were greeted immediately, and quickly landed on a medley of items to sample. We started with a couple glasses of Pinot noir with healthy pours in large goblet glasses. In what felt like no time at all, our meatballs, arancini, and spicy salami pizza arrived. I love salami pizza, but this one was by far, the best I've ever had. The blend of cheeses (so good) atop a thin, crispy dough grabbed me from the first bite. The sauce across all the dishes deserves its own sentence (paragraph really). Just give me a bowl of that and I would have been happy. Our bartender was a pleasure, responsive but not overbearing. Busy but sociable. They had a movie in black and white playing behind the bar which was entertaining during breaks in the conversation. Give this place a try if you are the mood for Italian and are near Hell's Kitchen. read more

Nittis is a casual spot with a solid menu and good service. While I didn't have a drink, they had an extensive drink menu that sounded great. We ordered the chicken mama Mia and veal saltimbocca.

Reasonably priced for the area. A solid spot for a low-key lunch or dinner. read more

Went here upon the recommendation of hotel front desk....so glad we did! Arrived after a 4 mile walk around the city about 6 pm. A few tables were occupied. As we sat hubby noted the bar was frequent by locals and they were well stocked with whiskeys etc. We ordered the mussels and calamari to start. Mussels were outstanding, calamari typical but good. Next we ordered their kale salad ...AMAZING... with dressing in the side, it was full of flavor, baby kale, slivers of Granny Smith apples, bits of blue cheese and small walnuts. After all that and wanting to save room for desert, we shared the branzino. Perfectly seasoned and fresh....and it came with 2 filets - perfect for sharing. I could end resist the homemade Teramisu.... Beautifully presented and perfect in flavor.... Even hubby had several tastes. The owner was there and checking on each table. We had a nice conversation with him about the importance of quality food. By the time we left at 7:45 the place was packed. Can't say enough good things about this place.... Oh and prices were reasonable for NYC.... Even wi5 a $35 whiskey , 3 beers and a glass of wine, out bill before tip was in low $200's read more

Amazing food and Service! Lasagna and Spaghetti and Meatballs were very good. Would recommend if staying in Times Square.

Fantastic mussels! Got a bottle of Cabernet to enjoy and it was great! My espresso martini was a salted which was GREAT but the balance wasn't quite right. Atmosphere is great - could be casual and intimate, depending on the time or day. Service was good! read more

Came here with my work team for lunch. Overall it was pretty average; I think the prices seemed a bit steep for what they were, but I guess that is most Italian places in midtown. My lasagna could have been more flavorful. Not bad, but I probably won't come back any time soon. read more

Shared a meal with a great friend tonight. Absolutely excellent! Mixed reviews on this gem, but don't know why. Bistro type place with garage doors that open for inside/outside environment. Great service. Attentive waiters. Had same Pappardale Ragu Burrata as mentioned in an earlier review from a year ago. Haven't finished a meal this size in 10 years. My friend and I are tiny. Incredibly tasty, creamy ragu with perfect al dente pasta and slightly chilled burrata with an amazing (slightly overpriced) but extremely creamy well made WTF kettle one/blood orange cocktail. Will be going again. Thanks Nittis. Awesome meal. read more

Nittis Italian Restaurant in Hell's Kitchen - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Underwhelming. I saw on Yelp that it's not a family oriented place but it was a cold and rainy night and this restaurant was closer to our hotel than Carmine's so decided to consider it. Before we made a reservation, we made sure to call to see if they had a kid's menu. The gentleman on the phone said while they don't have a menu for children, they would accommodate. We specifically asked if the restaurant would be able to do a butter pasta and he answered, yes. We arrived for our 5pm reservation. Upon being seated, we inquired, again, with the host about the butter pasta and he ensured that it was simple enough request. When our server came, however, she said they CANNOT do a butter pasta. Our only options were a pasta with red sauce or a pizza. We asked if they can do a half-pepperoni-half-cheese pizza and she answered no. Also, on their website, it says that happy hour is everyday from 4-6pm. So I asked our server about the happy hour menu. She looked at me like she didn't understand what I was saying. Our food arrived, a bolognese and a parecchi vodka. Taste of the sauce was decent but my pasta was definitely undercooked and part of my plate was hot while the other was cold. As for the service, I felt none of the welcoming and warm feeling that other yelpers had written of. The owner never once came by to welcome us or ask how we were doing. One and done. Next time I'll walk the extra distance to Carmines. read more

Gotta love that you can stumble upon a great Italian place and just be wowed at how great it really is! We had a decent sized party and were able to get served drinks and apps quickly. We had the burrata salad, arancini, calamari and their house garlic bread flats with olive oil and balsamic to start. They had many options available, from salad to lamb and back again. Perusing the menu, the option that grabbed my attention was the pappardelle bolognese, yet they had a pappardelle ragu with burrata that jumped off the page at me. The pasta was perfect, the sauce and the chunks were outstanding, the burrata put it over the edge! Great setup, loved the color playoff in the restaurant, not too dark but just right! read more
