My friend and I came for a late lunch. We arrived and the servers were attentive. Unfortunately they did not make us aware that the kitchen was closing shortly after we were seated. After ordering two (very small) pasta dishes we were informed that we were unable to order anything additional as the kitchen was closed. The food was okay. I found my dish to be incredible salty which was disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber. read more

One of my brothers and I didn't have any Sunday plans, and since it was such a gorgeous day out we thought it would be fun to grab some lunch. I did some quick brainstorming and remembered that I had Rezdôra bookmarked for a while. Lo and behold, they had an opening for their brunch service so I booked it and off we went. Rezdôra gained traction in recent years as being one of the more notable Italian restaurants in the city. It has a Michelin Star, and is most known for their pastas. The restaurant is kind of unassuming on the outside, sitting in the basement of a brownstone. The interior, like many Manhattan restaurants, is long and narrow with a bar towards the front with some banquette-style seating and a slightly wider space in the back. The decor is simple, almost casual with wood throughout the space and skylights which really add to the aesthetic. The menu specializes in cuisine from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Pastas are the star, but there are a few other mains as well as some starters and sides. We decided to start with two apps - both of which were recommended: the focaccia in primavera and the gnocco fritto. The latter were puffed dough which almost had a biscuit-like flavor to them (but were super airy) and topped with three different types of prosciutto. The former was a thick focaccia baked in a circle and topped with pecorino sardo and dressed greens. Both of these were great - super fresh and not heavy despite being carb-centric. For my main I couldn't leave without pasta - and I went with the verde on verde on verde. This was tagliatelle in a pesto sauce paired with green beans and small chopped potatoes. The pasta was good - super fresh with a good flavor without being overpowering. They also added pine nuts to the dish which gave it an added layer of texture. We also opted for a side of seasoned vegetables which were a good complement. We opted for dessert and decided to split two - the torta d'oliva and gelato al parmigiano. The former was an olive oil cake that was paired with ice cream and topped with a zabaglione- like sauce. It was delicious - the olive oil flavor came through and it was super opposite of dry. The latter was also really good - the parmigiano flavor was subtle but definitely present, and we had it topped with 12-year aged balsamic which elevated it to a whole other level. Service was good - everyone was super friendly, our waters were consistently refreshed, and food came out at a good pace. Overall, I had a great first experience at Rezdôra - they put out a solid offering of Italian food from a region that is not always showcased. My interest is piqued and I would definitely return for another meal. read more

Despite having a reservation (and showing up 15 minutes early), we were not seated until 15 minutes after our reservation. For starters, the Gnoccho Fritto was alright, as fried dough and extremely thin slices of meat is hard to mess up. However, we ordered the Stracciatella and were surprised by a semi-rigid cylindrical patty of burrata insides. It didn't come with any bread! Our server was nowhere to be found, so we had to flag down the house manager to put in an order of bread. All that was forgivable, but the main issue was the seafood gnocchi. The bits of shrimp tasted incredibly off, with a chlorinated overtone overpowering any positive flavors. No one offered grated cheese on any dishes, and there was only a "How is the food" after my partner had cleaned their dish. Mine was barely touched. They removed the offending dish from the bill, and we promptly left. It was a cold day, with colder service. The pesto pasta was fine. read more

I felt so lucky when my husband got us a reservation at Rezdora for my birthday this year. And it fully lived up to all my expectations. The ambiance, food and service was all fantastic. We didn't do the pasta tasting because I wanted to be sure I would have room for dessert. But we still got 2 appetizers and 3 pastas. Our favorite was probably the grandma pasta. Thought the tirimisu to end the meal was also a stand out. read more

Low-key vibes with dim-lighting and low-ceilings make Rezdôra a great spot for a cozy night out. Service was attentive and flavors of the dishes were enjoyable, but portions felt so small for the price. Cacio e Pepe in Emila salad was tasty but not particularly memorable. For pastas, we tried the Doppio Cappelletti in Primavera which had a rabbit filling and was topped with fresh spring peas, as well as the Pisarei al Ragù di Anatra which was in a warm, rich and comforting duck ragu. The dessert was truly the star of the show, I could eat that all the time, I am salivating about the Torta D' Oliva right now, mmmm! read more

Rezdôra - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Kind of hit or miss dishes at way too steep of a price. Hugo Mocktail - light and refreshing, not too sweet. Canollo - creamy and savory filling, with a crispy exterior. Spoja Lorda - nice al dente texture with a bit of cheese inside. The broth was savory, but also intensely salty, so I left most of it behind after I was through eating the pasta. Garganelli - really simple tomato and basil sauce with cheese on top. I found this pasta to be a bit on the soft side. Gnudi - a bit savory and definitely on the rich side, but overall fell kind of flat. Maybe more exciting if you love truffles. Taglioni - nicely done. Savory, with a well textured sauce, al dente noodles, and a touch of sourness. Collare de re - also nice and simple, great texture and a bit of sweetness from the thick balsamic poured over the top. The meal also ended with a little chocolate truffle that came with the bill. The pasta is a bit hit or miss, but really does taste homemade with a strong eggy note. I wish the menu came in at a lower cost - the bill was around $140 after tax and tip. read more

Rezdôra - No - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This place is a MUST try if you are craving Italian cuisine in Manhattan. As a Michelin star restaurant, it was truly incredible. Ambiance is romantic. Not too much seating, but offers a cozy vibe. There is a nice size bar as well Everything about the food was amazing. The chefs were kind enough to send out complementary Parmesan cannolo w porcini, Mushroom puree w/ roasted maitake, and a sorbetti. Everyone was attentive to a dairy allergy we had at the table, and accommodations were made! APPS: - The bread is to die for. You definitely need to try it! - I loved the gnocco fritto. The dough is so light and airy, and the meats are so tender and fresh. It's a perfect appetizer. PASTA Now onto the pastas - outstanding! - The cappelletti al brasato di manzo e tartufo nero had so much flavor and the braised beef was juicy and tender. The truffles were definitely the cherry on top :) - The strozzapreti wasn't my dish, but I did get a try, and it was delicious. The pasta was nice and thick and the sauce had amazing lobster flavor. MEATS - The cow grazing sirloin steak was delicious! So tender, filled with flavor. Ours was cooked to medium and it was perfect. - the Stinco di manzo was so unique but incredibly delicious. There was so much flavor. It was soft and the balsamico sauce kept it so juicy. DESSERTS - the cioccolato was exactly what you would think when you hear the word chocolate! So rich in flavor but it was amazing. - sorbetti was so refreshing after a lot of eating. The blood orange and basil combo is unique but a must try. read more

Loved the food here. Ambiance was great at the bar. The service was also very friendly and great. The food is definitely expensive but everything was good. The free mushroom puff pastry in the beginning was yummy. And then we got the focaccia and the vegetarian gnocco. The focaccia was not what I expected but it was very yummy. I saved some to go with my ravioli later and worked great for soaking up the egg yolk. The gnocco wasn't what I expected. I thought there was going to be more cheese inside. However I still liked it and it was fluffy. The ravioli was amazing and my absolute favorite. The egg yolk inside was perfectly cooked and the mushroom sauce was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately thought the pasta was a bit too thick. The squash dessert was beautiful and yummy. Not what I expected. The texture of the mousse was perfect. However the mousse with the cake together was just too sweet. We waited about an hour and a half to eat at the bar on Friday evening. read more

The last time I've been to Rezdora was a few years ago when restaurants had those make shift outdoor dining spaces. I had never went inside as we had only dined outdoors. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant is as there's a backroom, like a split level house. The front space is cozy with the low celing and moody lighting, but the back feels airy with the skylight. We got a cozy corner booth in the back, so we didn't feel cramped. The tables are pretty close together, especially in the front dining area. We went for brunch on a Saturday and I didn't realize the Grandma Walking in the Forest dish is only available for dinner. My fault for not checking the brunch menu. We ordered two apps and two pasta dishes. We enjoyed the salad and the mushroom and truffle on focaccia. The focaccia app is a pretty hefty, bready app, quite filling. The salad was refreshing with tons of shaved cheese. Unfortunately, service was a miss that day. After we finished the apps, the server asked if we were ready for dessert. We chuckled and said that we would like to try the pasta dishes. A busser came to clear our app plates and utensils, but the table wasn't wiped even though there were visible crumbs on the table. After a bit of wait, a runner came up to bring our pasta dishes and noticed that we did not have silverware. So he went back down the steps to get the silverware, holding the dishes. After a couple of minutes, another runner brought silverware then the dishes were put down. With a few minutes of delay and the runner going up and down the stairs with the dishes, the pasta dishes had lost quite a bit of heat. After we finished eating our lukewarm pasta dishes which was cold by the end, I saw a lady across from me eating a pasta dish that had steam coming out. With a dish that's supposed to have yolk oozing out, lukewarm temp was a turnoff. Also, who enjoys eating lukewarm seafood? Positives were the raviolo's pasta sheet was tender and thin and my spaghetti was perfectly aldante. However, $42 for ONE raviolo, you'd expect perfect execution and a bit more sauce. Please note that it's not that large of a dish, so I don't recommend it for people who like to feel full after a meal. Also, the server who took our order never appeared to check on our meal. She came twice - to take our order and to give our dessert menu after the meal. Since they are charging fine dining prices, I expected the service to be on par. Perhaps we will go back for the grandma ravioli, but not likely anytime soon. read more

Really surprised they have a mischelin star. Service was average at best they took forever to give us our entree and our server didn't explain the non veg options thorough enough and recommended a dish with egg in it for our entree. I can eat eggs but other people at my table couldnt and is now feeling sick otherwise food wise portions are small but unique. favorite was definitely the solo ravoli with truffle on top. Burrata was pretty good too but the bread pairing was quite oily but indeed delicious we ordered as well the squash ravoli and the pistachio ravoli. both had a dessert like sweetness but were perfectly al dente. they gave amuse bush in the beginning that was a little too bready and the complimentary dessert at the end was also fun little chocolate pieces i unfortunately wont return or recommend to people with dietary restrictions but i recommend to friends who are non veg! read more

New favorite restaurant!! The apps were phenomenal (fennel & nectarine, mozzarella & prosciutto, caccio e Pepe salad), we were licking the pasta plates clean (the gluten free pasta was very good), and the dessert was amazing - the Parmesan & balsamic gelato was heavenly. Service was excellent - friendly, professional, and my water glass was never empty. Cozy atmosphere and great soundtrack. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend! read more

Another one of those places I went to because of hype. I didn't have high expectations because of other reviews and the experience is generally what I anticipated it to be. Good pastas, but small portions and overpriced. Nice for a date night where you want to splurge. Cute cozy ambience and exposed brick walls, I approve. The pasta names are too long and I'm too lazy to type them all. If you read the Infatuation article, I have to disagree with it on some of its advice. The gnocco fritto was so boring, skip it. It looked exciting but once I bit into the bread, it deflated into a sad piece of like, pita. The grandma walking etc was my favorite pasta. Intense leek and mushroom, and I don't see leek being the main flavor often. The uovo raviolo could have used way more truffle, as $42 for it is crazy. The anolini was a snooze-fest. One note parmesan. The doppio was actually quite novel - I would recommend for beet lovers. All the pastas were on the very al dente side and I would have liked slightly less. The cacio e pepe salad just tasted like a caesar and on top of that, we had to chop it ourselves, so a no-go. Also, for 4 people we were very NOT full after all of this, but we decided to cap our $ losses and go elsewhere. Service was good and we stayed for maybe 2 hours without getting the boot. I do feel dubious about the value for price. But hey, if you want a pleasant, romantic dinner this could be for you. read more

The service was poor. We had been sitting 15 minutes at our table before being acknowledged. Then, we ordered but it was not recorded by the waiter. Our table was so wobbly that we had to move. The food took a very long time to arrive. The ambiance? Extremely noisy. We could barely hear each other. The place is pretty crammed and you are sitting a couple of feet next to another table. The lady at the next table would swing her head and her pony tail would be inches from us. The food. That was our biggest disappointment. The "famous" white ragu pasta (gramigna) was way too salty. The gnocchi with shrimp tasted very fishy. The uovo raviolo was tasty but very creamy. And the tiramisu? It did not taste much (no coffee or amaretto flavor). Finally, we came to celebrate a birthday and, while mentioned in the reservation, it was totally ignored. read more

It was the day of my graduation, and my mother and I decided to celebrate the day with a barely-clinched reservation for lunch at Rezdôra, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very traditional, warm, and inviting, and the service was just the same. We started our meal with the gnocco frito, 3 incredibly tasty pieces of fried dough with slices of prosciutto, mortadella, and guanciale on top, then came the pasta dishes. We decided to share an order of the tagliolini and the ravioli, and they were incredible. My experience here cemented Rezdôra as my pick for the best Italian food in NYC by far, and I couldn't recommend it enough. read more

Relatively easy to get reservations compared to some of the other more hyped Italian spots in New York, with the added clout of having a Michelin star. For appetizers, we got the Gnocco Fritto and Burrata. The Gnocco Fritto was light, airy, and delicious, a great way to kick things off. The Burrata was also creamy and fresh and was great to pair with the meats that came with our Gnocco Fritto. For our entrees, we ordered 3 pastas because our server advised that 2 would not be enough for 2 people. He was correct as each pasta serving was quite small, almost like a side rather than an entree. The "Grandma Walking Through Forest In Emilia" was the best of the three we ordered. It was a really interesting dish, with a fresh flavor that had a strong, rustic quality from the cheese. On the other hand, the "Gramigna Giallo E Verde" was a miss for me, tasting pretty bland. Overall, Rezdôra is an interesting experience to try specialties from the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, but I don't have any urge to return anytime soon. read more

I was at this restaurant a good while ago around brunch on a Sunday. It took a short while for us to be seated which was a bit of an odd seating arrangement as it was pretty close to the staircase but we made do with the small amount of room for our group. Staff was pretty friendly and gave some recommendations. As per many other spots, the menu is a bit seasonal so you might not get the dishes we ordered. For an appetizer, someone ordered a salad/insalate for the table; the Insalata Fresca di Finocchio for $18 with fennel, arugula, peas fava pecorino sardo, and mint. The salad was well portioned unlike most dishes and had some good contrasting bitterness and crunchiness. I liked it. Two others had a dish from the Focacce Calde section for $22; the Mortazza with stracciatella, mortadella, and pistachio paste and the "Brunch on Modena Hillside" with pesto Modenese, prosciutto di parma, & arugula, which they both enjoyed. My pasta order was the Gnocchi Del Bosco for $32 with funghi misti, burro rosolato, and crema di parmigiano. Burro rosolato is in other words brown butter and the dish had some good nuttiness and some mushroom funk along with some silkiness from the parmigiano cream. It was a tasty dish and at least partially worth it for the price point as it was quite rich. The gnocchi texture was also pleasant with some bounciness and firmness which paired with the various mushroom textures. Other people enjoyed the Gramigna Giallo e Verde ($25 with sausage ragu bianco,) the very popular Verde on Verde on Verde, the "Modenese Vacationing in Rome" (tagliatelle, parmigiano, pancetta, uovo, black pepper,) and the Spaghettoni Allo Scloglio (squid ink pasta with seafood and pomodoro.) As a side, I got the Cavolfiore for $18 which is listed as oven roasted capers and pine nuts. Cavolfiore refers to cauliflower and it was nicely roasted with some crunch and sweetness and a bit of sourness. It was a nice side though I'm not sure if it was worth the price point (but hey everything with pine nuts/pignoli is expensive.) This is a pricey but good Italian place. The portion sizes are similar to their sister restaurant Massara but the flavors are much better overall. For fancier Italian, there's a few places I prefer but the food here was still tasty. read more

My favorite restaurant to visit while I'm in NY. I actually got an earlier flight so that I could go here. They usually have a couple walk-in countertop seats and I was able to grab a solo one.

YES PLS. read more

I was so excited to finally try this place. 4 of us came for brunch on a Saturday morning and were seated right away. The staff is incredibly warm. They were very attentive throughout the meal and gave lots of suggestions. The appetizers were excellent! We loved the focaccia primavera, stracciatella, and spring salad. The pastas were delicious too, but honestly a bit pricey for the quantity. The gnocchi was our favorite. They also had delicious coffee - we loved our americanos. The noise level is very manageable and it was easy to converse, despite the restaurant being full. Can't wait to come back for dinner (if I can get a reservation)! read more

It's really rare for me to say that eating at a place would change the way I look at pasta. Rezdôra is one of those places. Truly incredible pastas that come in portions that allow you to try multiple: we had 3 pastas for 2 people, skipped a main protein, and were pretty full at the end. Of course you have the red sauce based pasta, but the one that stood out was Grandma Walking Through Forest In Emilia. I'm usually a bucatini marinara, pasta amatriciana flavor profile, so this was definitely way left of that. But I'm so glad I tried it, because that ended up being my favorite dish. It truly was unlike any other pasta I've had before. We were lucky and were able to move our dinner to a 7:30 reservation; key play is to make a reservation & then time it for when they send the text to remind/confirm your reservation for the following day. Usually that's when people will do last minute cancels and you can swoop up better times! Would definitely go back as this restaurant was delicious! read more

We did the pasta tasting with the wine pairing, and I cannot stop thinking about how amazing the food, service and experience was. We sat at the bar and had an incredible bartender who was busy behind the bar, but never made us feel like we were not his top priority. The pasta tasting had three items that are not on the regular menu, with the gnudi being life changing. The wines were paired perfectly, and introduced us to some new verietals to try. The portions may seem/look small, but the quality is top notch, and we were very satisfied by the end of the meal. Yes, it will take about 2+ hours, especially if you get an appetizer and dessert, and the entire time was a treat. We plan to come back soon! read more

Made a reservation here because I have heard amazing things about their pastas! The restaurant was packed when we got there but we were seated at our table right away. The lighting is low and the vibes are very intimate although the volume of the chatter is moderate. We decided to try their pasta tasting menu for the table and then additionally ordered the Grandma Walking Through Forest in Emilia pasta because it's one of their most popular ones. The pasta tasting menu was made up of 5 smaller tasting courses. Overall, I think it was fun to do once, but I wouldn't necessarily do the tasting menu again. I really enjoyed the Grandma Walking Through Forest in Emilia pasta, the leek flavor was very intense and I loved the mushroom flavor as well. I would definitely be more interested in trying more of their regular pasta menu as well. Their house made gelato was DELICIOUS! The pistachio and hazelnut flavors were so rich but not heavy at the same time! read more

Best Italian in nyc. Hands down. Food, drink, service, ambiance all first class. I will be back again and again.

Ordered: Bottle of Chianti Classico (~$110): Tenuta di Carleone, 2022 Fett' Unta (~$10): toasted bread with extra virgin oil Burrata Reale (~$32): with miatake mushroom, black truffle & parsley Strozzapreti (~$34): tomato sauce from emilia with montauk red shrimp & chives Grandma Walking Through Forest in Emilia (~$28): cappelletti verdi with roasted, sautéed leeks & black mushroom puree Uovo Ravioli Di Nino Bergese (~$35): brown butter & tartufo nero & chanterelles Fazzoletti Verdi Al Ragu Di Anatra (~$28): duck ragu from Emilia Finocchio Brasato (~$14): braised fennel & orange Torta d'Olivia (~$18) aka Olive Oil Cake "in 4 ways" Aya's take: Rainy day dinner at Rezdora! Rezdora has a cozy, intimate feel and as we were taken to our tables in the back, you can really feel the Italian essence through the walls, the shelves of wine, and the decor. The hospitality & service was also great but that's to be expected at a 1-star Michelin restaurant. They have an in-house sommelier who helped us pick out the Bottle of Chianti Classico we went with. It was medium-bodied, bright, slight acidity with fruity aromas, and was easy to sip on throughout dinner. If you're like me and you were debating skipping the Fett' Unta (which let's be real should be free) or the Burrata Reale, don't do it. They were absolutely delicious! The Fett' Unta was warm and crispy with a healthy drizzle of olive oil. It was the perfect vehicle for this unbelievably fresh, creamy, and rich Burrata Reale. The black truffle and parsley added so much depth and elegance to each bite. As far as the pastas, my favorites were Grandma Walking Through Forest in Emilia and Fazzoletti Verdi Al Ragu Di Anatra. The other 2 were not worth it and disappointedly, the Uovo Ravioli Di Nino Bergese was overcooked! There was no yolk action (for lack of a better word lol). The Torta d'Olivia was a great way to end the meal. I've had a few olive oil cakes but this is the first one I've tried where I'm not searching hard for the olive oil taste. You can tell they use good quality olive oil and it was a unique take on a sweet/savory dessert. The amuse bouche to start and the complimentary chocolates at the end were a nice touch. Definitely recommend trying at least once! read more

Another overpriced Italian bistro. Quite a bit of attitude from the hostess and so dimly lit inside you can't read the menu. The food was good, not great. Is this the new trend to pay a lot of money and then be underwhelmed? Our waiter was very nice and that was a welcomed bright spot. read more

Update of my review after 6 years! Rezdôra absolutely shines when it comes to food. The pasta dishes were incredible -- we ordered the pisarei e fasö (the pasta with beans) and the duck ragu, both rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the surprise highlight of the night? The squash vegetable side -- truly one of the most delicious dishes we tasted! They also offer a pasta tasting menu, which is a great option if you want to try a variety of their signature dishes in one sitting. For seating, just a heads-up: We were placed in the bar area, which is very loud and the tables are extremely close. You can still have a conversation, but you'll need to talk louder to hear each other. If you prefer a calmer dining experience, definitely request a table toward the back -- it's much quieter and more comfortable. Overall, amazing food, great service, and definitely worth a visit -- just be mindful of where you sit! read more

When we went to Manhattan, Rezdora was a standout restaurant for us. Rezdora is run by Stefano Secchi and has maintained one Michelin Star since 2021. Their pastas are handmade and they're so good.

My husband scored us a reservation to Rezdôra as a Christmas present so that we could finally experience our first Michelin star restaurant, and what a place to start at! First, I really appreciated that we could enjoy a fine dining experience without it feeling pretentious. The vibe was relaxed, and our server was so friendly. He helped answer any questions we had, and we definitely didn't leave hungry. We stated with a Parmesan tasting, then went into the pasta tasting, which was timed well between courses. Though they were smaller portions, we were happy to experience a variety of their offerings, especially with it being our first time! We split a steak entree as well, which was cooked perfectly. We were glad to have the extra protein to feel fully satisfied. We split the tiramisu for dessert, and it was one of the best I've ever had! Truly a memorable meal and a treat for date night in the city. We would definitely make another trip from CT to experience Rezdôra again! read more

Beautifully prepared food that is heavy on salt. So heavy that the salt often overwhelms the excellent materials and preparations. There was an abundance of salt in the sauces and salt was sprinkled on top of the dishes from the entrees to the dessert. Yet the courses were carefully and exactingly executed. The halibut was cooked to a flakey perfection but the skin was profusely salted. The olive oil cake was fluffy and chewy, also perfection, with salt on the gelato and salt within the cake. You will want to drink a lot of water or wine. The seating, except for the bar, is atop cushion-less wood banquets which are handsome but uncomfortable. read more

A warm, rustic ambiance, with its exposed brick and soft, inviting lighting, creates an intimate and lively atmosphere as you walk in to this rather tiny Italian restaurant. On a very cold evening, we were seated close to the entrance door, and it felt pretty chilly inside! That didn't stop us from ordering a couple of things off their menu as suggested by Santiago, which included a rather salty Fett'Unta ($10), Burrata Reale ($29), Cacio E Pepe In Emilia ($15), Grandma Walking Through Forest In Emilia ($28), and their signature pasta - Uovo Raviolo Di Nino Bergese ($42). The best dish though was the Tagliolini Al Ragu ($26) - packed with flavor and perhaps the second best thing that came from Modena! Go here for the unique taste each pasta has to offer, and certainly not for the portion sizes! Service was excellent, noise levels on the average end. read more
