    Coconut cake
    Celina C. N.

    Always a hit. Solid, consistent, everything on the menu is good, service is always on point, diverse staff. I mostly go for boozy brunch with girlfriends, but also frequently choose it for lunch or dinner with friends visiting from out of town. Cocktails are fantastic. I almost always get anything with grapefruit in it, like the grapefruit martini or their brunch cocktail which i can't remember the name of ever. The lemon ricotta pancakes are an absolute must. And we usually get at least one side of bacon and a side of sausage for the table. And we sometimes share 2-3 desserts. Love love love.

    We came here for the lemon ricotta pancakes, just to find that they were a bit underwhelming. Not bad just not what I expected. We also ordered the french toast which was phenomenal and made me wish that I had ordered that instead. The service was good.Everyone was friendly in the environment was clean. Though I would not order the lemon raccotta pancakes again.I would come back to try other things.

    Cozy neighborhood Italian with amazing pasta Pisticci is such a charming spot -- warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and truly excellent food. The pasta dishes are the highlight: perfectly cooked, rich sauces, and generous portions that taste homemade and comforting. We tried one of the classic red-sauce pastas topped with fresh herbs, and it was absolutely packed with flavor -- simple ingredients done really well. The dining room has that intimate, relaxed vibe that's perfect for a casual date night or easy dinner with friends. Service was attentive without being rushed, and the team was happy to help with menu suggestions. If you're looking for authentic, satisfying Italian with a cozy neighborhood feel, Pisticci is a fantastic choice. Definitely worth returning to try more of the menu -- especially brunch next time.

    Our server Grace did an outstanding job!

    Attended an engagement party on the evening of Oct 25 at Pisticci. I was extremely impressed with all aspects of the dining experience. Large parties are a challenge to any restaurant, and not only did Pisticci have a full Saturday dining clientele, there were TWO parties going on as well that night. That said, the food was still of the fine quality and nice sized portions I've previously experienced over my past 4 years of dining there. The biggest shout out though has to go to our amazing server Grace. She was so friendly, courteous and attentive. From meeting the needs of the youngest member of our party with a prompt meatball sans sauce request, to keeping the various drink and wine orders flowing after dinner, Grace did an outstanding job!

    Friends who just moved into the Morningside neighborhood of Manhattan brought me here today for brunch. Very cute little place in the very bottom of a building. Very friendly service. Can't remember servers name, but she's in the picture. Super sweet. I ordered the spaghetti with vegan meatballs and the spaghetti was perfectly cooked and oh those meatballs were really really good! Other friend ordered same with regular meatballs and his wife ordered the three egg omelette. We had bread with olive oil. We ordered one espresso and two cappuccinos. For desert, we shared the tiramisu. Everything was delicious! I won't be in this part of manhatttan often so I won't be able to enjoy this place much and try their other entrees, but for the first time, excellent and can't wait until I can return to try dinner entrees.

    When I think of visiting NYC, I think of great Jewish deli's and neighborhood Italian trattorias. While most of the former are gone - thank goodness for the later - you know the small cozy places that bring you back in time or transport you to a small street in Sienna. Pisticci hits the mark big-time! Quaint, unassuming, welcoming- you feel like you are home. Local art fills the walls ( many of the staff are artists) and the dining space is intimate. The menu, while straightforward, is filled with delicious choices. There are no bad choices here. Daily specials will tempt you for sure. Start anywhere, make sure you get a pasta dish ( cooked perfectly), and whatever you do save room for the coconut cake ( made in house ). It is like none you've ever tasted! Enjoy dear readers - enjoy!

    The vodka pasta was DELICIOUS. It was even a delight to eat my leftovers the following day. The potatoes... I could've done without, they were a little bland, but the pasta was the star of the show anyway. The staff were efficient and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was intimate and warm.

    Love this place. Th service here is excellent, there all well educated and super nice. I always see the employees at some point t sitting down to and enjoying a nice meal. There were 7 of us. First time sitting in the back room. This place have 3 bars, a beautiful outdoor decks and 3 separate dining areas. For appetizers we had the mussels, great sauce, but wasn't living the mussels, a insalada mista, insalada pisticci, yummy pancetta, and a Barrata. Also someone had the spaghetti al pomodoro, quite good too. For entrees we had the rigatoni ala vodka, 1 plain, 1 with meatballs, and 1 with sausage, I had the sausage and loved it. We also had the orecchiette with broccoli rave and sausage, the Fettuccine al funghi, my wife's favorite dish , but she substitutes the pasta to a rigatoni. My daughter had the maltaiati with ricotta, spinach and lamb, delicious. All the pastas were fresh and cooked to perfection. I did say our waitress, the actress, was terrific as well. We drank too much so our bill was not inexpensive.

    Typically obnoxious Italian restaurant service (waiters coming every 2 minutes to refill your glass, upsell, or clear your table when the place is practically empty). But the food here really is a cut above, and the ambience is pleasant without being pretentious. Pisticci penne was perfectly cooked, al dente without being crunchy, and just the right amount of tomato and oil. Gelatos were delicious - pistachio blandness was more than compensated for by the delicious pieces throughout, and the fig gelato was insanely great.

    This is a long-standing local business and I had to try it out. I called ahead of time (Friday at about 5PM) to ask if they had any space for a table of 3 outside and that we were on our way-- the prissiness level of the hostess was unmatched. In any case, we got there and all the outdoor seating/tables were empty and available (we were just told we had a two hour time limit). The waitress was great and the menu had good options. The dishes were a bit on the heavy side but, hey, it's an Italian menu. I would recommend perhaps splitting the kale salad as an appetizer amongst the table then having your pasta dishes. Would come back but would likely just eat very light throughout the day prior to coming here.

    Food 7/10 Genuinely quite impressed by the lunch pasta menu. Ordered the rigatoni alla vodka, and it was better than I expected. Super creamy and rich. Very large portions, extremely filling, and not so bad at all. A solid Italian spot in the neighborhood, would return to try some other pastas. Pricing is relatively okay for New York, but obviously that's not saying much because it's New York. Atmosphere 7/10 Cute little spot with plenty of seating, more than I expected when observing the outside. Service 7/10 Nice server, good stuff.

Little did we know that it was business on the main floor and a party on the bottom! We ended up skipping the coffee and just had food. This is a Mexican spot with some Colombian themed dishes on the brunch/lunch menu. The breakfast burrito was recommended by our server (as a popular dish) as well as the huevos rancheros. I love biscuits so was swayed in a different direction... an egg and cheese sandwich on a house made jalapeño biscuit. The biscuit sandwich was filling, although a bit too dry for my taste. The addition of the jalapeño did give the biscuit a good kick. The potatoes were nicely seasoned. My friend gushed about her huevos rancheros. It did look good, and I would likely skip the biscuit sandwich and go for the huevos rancheros or tacos next time. The service was super sweet and attentive. We truly didn't realize there was another floor until we finished our meal in the enclosed heated space up front, and the server encouraged us to check it out. It's a cool set up with a distinct feel from the main floor. All in all I would check this place out again.
