    Food: We were a group of 10 and dined here on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant wasn't full but there were some customers. The food here was good but not one of the best Italian restaurants. Some of us ordered the lunch special for $26 which includes a choice of Caesar or house salad, entree (choices were rigatoni vodka, shrimp parmesan, angel hair pesto, and primavera fettuccine), and choice of a dessert (cannoli or tiramisu). The salad was tasty. Entrees were also very good, but portions are small. I would recommend the angel hair pesto! The tiramisu also was nothing special. The chicken parmesan comes with a piece of chicken and spaghetti. The portion of spaghetti was not big and also had too much sauce. Overall, the food wasn't bad but again, not the best. Service: Service was average. Ambiance: The place was able to accommodate our large party of ten but space was tight, and they put a bunch of small tables together. I would say it's a place for smaller groups. Overall, I wouldn't particularly recommend this restaurant. There are better Italian places around.

    This place has amazing service and great food. I came here for a good steak and a glass of red wine after work. The steak was delicious with the fries. I enjoyed a glass of Merlot as I spoke with the staff and the owner of about my experience. Of course, this place has good foot traffic on a Saturday early evening for the dinner hour.

    Had high expectation for this place but was disappointed. Despite restaurant half full, service was not attentive with server forgetting request or walking away as soon as they ask what we wanted to order. Food was just ok and not justify especially when you look at the price. Ambiance was ok and the restaurant is a mix of locals and tourists. Would not come back again - lots of better other option nearby.

    Came here for a dinner date with a friend of mine. We were seated outside by the sidewalk which is either lovely if you love people watching or distracting if you like a little more reserved space. The food was pretty good, the eggplant special was probably my favorite. Service was solid and the owner was very kind. Overall a good option for an average Italian dinner restaurant.

    Came here a few times prior over the past few years., My brother was visiting with his wife who now live in Arizona and we wanted to get together at a convenient spot. I gave them 4 stars for food and service. The restaurant has been here a long time and I would give them 2 stars for decor and ambience. The best word to describe the decor is "tired". There are a lot of new food and retail locations popping up and it's important to make investments back into the business for sustainability. With that being said the entire staff worked well as a team, were very friendly, did not rush us, no time limits and the food was good. They have an extensive menu, full bar, indoor and outdoor seating which the outdoor seating is pet friendly. We started with some Chianti wine and a few appetizers which were the Melanzane which was eggplant with tomato sauce and Fontana cheese. We also shared the Gamberone which is grilled shrimp sautéed in olive oil and garlic. For entrees we shared the spaghetti squash with grilled chicken and shrimp, the salmon and the Pappardelle with 6 oz. lobster tail, shrimp, spinach and shitake mushrooms in a garlic light tomato sauce. Everything was tasty and a good size portion. For desert we shared the profiteroles which are Chocolate covered cream puffs with chantilly cream. I would recommend them as long as you can look past the slightly tired look. Service and food was good.

    Had dinner last night and it was not as good as we have had in the past. Food was lacking flavor. Service was slow and unattentive. Had a reservation yet we had to sit outside in the shed....humid and a lot of bugs. The only good thing was the bread and Pomodoro Bellini.

    Walked by here on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, they have nice outdoor seating, so we decided to stop. On Columbus between 70 & 71st, perfect location to stop by after a nice walk in the park. Staff is very friendly and the food is good. Weekends have brunch, but traditional Italian is excellent. BTW... if the inside looks familiar, it was featured on Seinfeld It was the popular breakup spot, but this neighborhood trattoria serves good home cooked classic food and drinks. Vongole Oreganata are 8 nice sized whole clams baked with garlic, oregano and not too bready. Chicken Parm was a big portion with crisp chicken, a very good sauce and topped with the perfect amount of mozzerella. It was a nice lunch, in a nice setting.

    Friendly and courtesy staff met us at the door. We went around 4:30 on Sunday. By 5PM it was getting busier and busier. They take reservations. We had entrees and tea. Food was hot and very tasty. A good place to go if you're in the neighborhood. We spontaneously came across this spot and recommended it.

    Things got off on to a great start at Pomodoro Rosso, as I was greeted by one of the nicest New Yorkers I had ever encountered. The wait staff was also excellent, which leads me to believe that the restaurant has a good heart and culture. A lovely ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating added to the enjoyment. Where things go is with the food. Good, not great. I can't judge based on my appetizer, as it was the first time I had ever had that particular type of artichoke. However, the homemade pasta with meat sauce was very bland and overcooked. The ciabatta, however: excellent.

    Came here last Sunday with the family , decided to sit outside since my mom still doesn't dine indoors . Nice enclosed outdoor seating and although it was pretty cold outside it was very warm in this enclosure , they have plenty of heat lamps . We ordered a pizza , tortellini and chicken parm , the food was good although the service was terrible We got pasta sauce on the table cloth from the Chicken parm and although they came 3 different times nobody cleaned it until I had to say something and ask for more napkins to clean it myself . They served us dessert with a dirty tablecloth instead of just wiping it down for us or at least giving us a few napkins to do ourself . I would give it a second chance since my mom lives in the neighborhood and the food was decent , perhaps service is better indoors

    Tiramisu and cappuccino

    Real deal Italian food. Had two of the specials and the linguine del Mare. Everything was authentic and the oil with rosemary and garlic for the bread was amazing. Would be there all the time if we lived here. Best meal on this trip.

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.

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!

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!
