I had brunch with my dear friend and I ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon that also included a salad and home fries. She ordered the avocado toast with 2 poached eggs . Both were delicious. The wait staff were professional and warm and friendly. The Jazz trio added a nice ambiance I will definitely be back . read more

Tartina - I had the eggs Benedict with salmon. It was the best i ever had - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

The service was very good--the staff member who helped us was attentive and friendly. After a long day of sightseeing, we had a really enjoyable Italian dinner here. The food was excellent, and the seafood tasted fresh and well-prepared. The only downside was that a gratuity was automatically added to the bill, even though we were just a party of four. That wasn't clearly expected and took away a bit from an otherwise great dining experience. read more

Very rude manager. This had been a favorite neighborhood restaurant for us, we will no longer frequent this establishment. Rude behavior does not deserve our money. read more

We stopped in late night after a show. I've walked by Tartina many times but haven't gone in before. It was truly a delight! The vibes were cozy, with candlelight and soft conversation happening. The service was wonderful and the staff were so kind. The moscato wine I had was amazing! It was recommended by the server and I loved it. We shared a spinach salad and the spaghetti in a Parmesan nest. All food tasted great and came out piping hot. The ambiance was relaxed and the food and wine were elevated. I think this place is a true hidden gem in the neighborhood! read more

We were looking for some Saturday brunch with our Columbia student son and found Tartina. Tap water (of course) and some bread to get started. Some great egg dishes for the 3 of us and a double espresso, americano, and cappuccino got all of our days started. The space is very Upper West Side - that is a mix of brick and wood in an aged building. Very well decorated and the service was top notch and very attentive, and very friendly. Would like to try dinner on our next trip. Highly recommended. read more

I noticed this super cute restaurant near school so I definitely had to check it out. Vibes were fantastic-- very dark and moody. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. But the food.... - Branzino: 10/10 (the only dish I actually really enjoyed. Portion size was big and the fish was flavorful.) - Gnocchi: 4/10 (the texture of the gnocchi was off! It was wayyyy too soft and the noodles were flavorless. Sauce was ok.) - Lingua di Passaro: 3/10 (noodles were very stiff. The whole dish wasn't flavorful at all.) Overall, I was pretty disappointed by the pasta dishes here. Not too sure if I'd come back for their pastas! read more

My friend and I enjoyed our lunches at this small place kitty-corner from the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. My eggplant parmigiana had a dark plum tomato sauce and just the right amount of cheese on top (not too much). The accompanying spaghetti had a marinara sauce improved by the fresh Parmesan cheese I requested. My friend's lasagna had a pleasing creaminess from bechamel. Our lunch atmosphere was made even more pleasant by the acoustic jazz trio performing. read more

The calamari was a bit chewy for my taste and the octopus tail was a small portion. The gnocchi wasn't to bad; I just felt like it was missing a kick. read more

Usually a reliable spot. Had the cacio e pepe, which I normally love here, maybe should be named cacio e pepe e acqua now, just clumps of cheese and water. I still ate it but I regret it. read more

great Italian spot in the neighborhood! the pastas are great! I have always been able to walk in without a reservation

This place used to be good. Now the service is not good at all. The food came a bit cold. And the flavours on the food are not balanced. If you know what Italian food is try somewhere else. There are plenty of better places around the area. read more

My friends and I just went to Tartina for dessert and it was very close to closing time but they were still very accommodating and managed to seat us. We had the pistachio cheesecake and tiramisu. Both items were delicious but I would definitely say that the tiramisu stood out- I mean, it is a classic. The ambience of this place is really nice as well, love the fresh flowers. All in all, the service here was great and so was the dessert- will definitely have to come back for their food (that cacio e pepe looked amazing)! read more

The food was 1st good. This was my 1st time trying the restaurant I had passed it many times & finally decided to give it a try.

Tartina is always a solid choice. Simple menu with rotating specials, pretty and yummy and interesting. Never a bore. Service is always pleasant and professional. A no frills place--just good food and service in a nice quiet and nicely appointed space. To qualify: I've only been for lunch. read more

Thoughtful, friendly service. Very reasonably priced for decent portions. Modern chic ambiance. Food was fairly good. Highly recommend the (cold) watermelon soup. The eggplant parmigiana with pasta was very good; the kitchen knows good marinara. The gnocchi on the other hand was overcooked, subpar for NYC pasta, though the sautéed veggies added to its sauce made up for it. Strong dessert options. The fragola was delicious. read more

Every neighborhood in NY has their go to Italian restaurant. If you are lucky to live or work on 111 St and Amsterdam Ave. you already know TARTINA a little gem of true Italian cooking. Through friends we dined there on Friday evening and to our delight had a what seemed like a home cooked meal in a warm and welcoming setting. My wife started with the classic Sicilian Eggplant Parmesan, light and fresh, and I the clams and mussels cooked perfectly. By the way the focaccia bread was melt in your mouth delicious. For a main I had the homemade Lasagna, very good and Thayer had Spaghetti Alla Nerano, a dish made with butter, sautéed zucchini and cheese. A real treat was a dessert call Fragola, a pastry horn fill with mascarpone, yogurt and fruit. YUM! read more

The ambiance is great - cozy and warm. The service is good. But the food is just adequate. Also, they had a special - sea bass - which I ordered without asking the price (everything on the menu is in the $20s). When we got the bill, the sea bass was $48. I wouldn't pay $48 for sea bass anywhere. Shame on me for not asking the price, shame on them for not telling me. This place has a lot of promise, but I wouldn't return. read more

Grabbed a late lunch (2pm) here with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. Live jazz music playing, not overcrowded (nor empty), beautiful rustic yet modern decor really added to the experience of eating at Tartina. We were served quickly and were given bread and olive oil while waiting for our food. I didn't like the bread, it didn't taste fresh or like there was any texture, but that's fine I didn't pay for it or anything. We ended up splitting the dishes to cheat our way in getting our fix of Eggs Benedict and pasta (Carbonara). The Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon was delicious and the english muffin stayed crispy. The hollandaise was a bit liberal and didn't give a lasting impression. The potatoes with peppers and salad were lovely sides to the eggs. Carbonara was recommended by the server for pasta, get it with cream! It was pretty good -- creamy, tasty, and a good amount of pancetta throughout. Overall, it was good food. There was one peculiar part of our lunch. A woman appeared to be in a domestic abusive relationship with the man accompanying her, and he raised his voice multiple times within 30-45 minutes. There were instances where he was borderline yelling at her and everybody else got silent. It was uncomfortable and clearly the man was trying to control the woman saying "if you don't stop this behavior, I'm going to slap you." I was a bit shocked that the manager of the restaurant didn't ask them to leave or act civil. It definitely interrupted everyone's dining experiences, and I hope the woman is okay. read more

I came here for dinner with my family before heading downtown to see Billy Joel play at Madison Square Garden. We thought dining at an Italian restaurant before the show was playfully appropriate. It was also the right decision. The staff is friendly, the ambience is warm and inviting, and the food is tasty. I had the pappardelle bolognese -- flavorful and filling. You should instead (as my sister did) opt for the cacio e pepe. They prepare it tableside, swirling the pasta in a cheese bowl of pecorino romano. It is creamy, it is delectable, and it is almost too rich to eat. Almost. Pairing our dinner with a bottle of white and a bottle of red, Tartina set the scene for a great night out and lots of fond memories made. I would certainly dine here again. read more

Had dinner here last night and left quite disappointed. My 2 friends had never been here, and I had only been once a few years back, dining in the outside Covid shack, which was a pleasant experience at the time. The atmosphere of the room is very nice, and all the staff were very pleasant, but the food was very disappointing. One of us had the arancini to start, which was quite cheesy and delicious, but entrees were mediocre: 2 of us had Cacio e Pepe, served from the plastic Parma bowl, which is ridiculous -- it was lukewarm at best and a really scrawny portion. The other had the roast 1/2 chicken, which is really a paillard, sadly it was dry and overly salty. We really wanted to like this place, but there are better alternatives in the neighborhood. read more

A group of 7 of Us had dinner reservations for 7pm on a Saturday evening! We arrived a little early & we sat by the bar for a cocktail ( which was delicious). The FOOD was beyond Delicious.... WoW everything was seasoned well & we all enjoyed our meals. Our cocktails were also great! We will definitely be back. Our bartender: server ( I think he's one of the mangers Josue was very nice & attentive! We will definitely be back to dine here. read more

Don't let the off-color brunch menu with Caesar salad and lasagna fool you -- a great spot for brunch! I split the prosciutto asparagus overeasy eggs and the pancakes with a friend. Those are the fluffiest pancakes I've had in a while. The asparagus wrapped in bacon with prosciutto and eggs was delicious. Savory dish was $14 and pancakes were $15. The pancakes are a stack of 2 and quite hefty, so I recommend splitting with a savory dish and a friend. I will be returning for brunch! read more

Tartina a nice little Italian restaurant located across the street from St. John's the divine. In contrast to an old school place like V&T a few doors down, Tartina looks 'antique' but is more of a modern Italian restaurant. Service is a happy medium between quick and European-style, with no one hovering over you. The inside is very nice with 2 tiers of seating, however since the pandemic they built one of the nicer outdoor seating areas I've seen. It's huge holding at least 10 tables, in addition to more on the side, and their kitchen lets out right towards this area to keep things efficient. W111th street is beautiful as is, however being across from a garden and also the church make this a gorgeous setting. The reason I didn't go to Tartina much pre-pandemic was the menu. It's a mix of more unusual Italian dishes made with very familiar items. Sometimes a guy just wants pasta bolognese instead of slogging through a menu, know what I mean? Over the pandemic they introduced a takeout menu just like this (including some great pasta bolognese), and they've retained this menu. They look at you a little sideways if you order off it, but I could care less. As mentioned pasta bolognese is my go to, as it's the best version in the neighborhood. They also make authentic pasta carbonara; this fish is usually screwed up (including nearby) by just throwing on top eggs instead of properly stirring in the egg yolk/cheese while the noodles are still hot. Tartina does things right, and the results are tremendous. Other items like burrata and eggplant parm are also great. Drinks are pretty damned good too. Competition between Tartina, Fumo and V&T in the neighborhood is very tight, with each having their strong points. What Tartina gets right it gets VERY right food-wise, the service is probably the best if the bunch, and the atmosphere blows the others away. If they could just update their menu to be a mix of what they currently have, we'd be golden. read more

This restaurant is beautiful and so quiet and peaceful on a week night. Not empty - still nicely populated but the perfect amount of people. The white exposed brick, wooden shelves of wine, and dim lighting create the perfect vibe inside. The service was great as well. Perfect for a date, special occasion, etc. I highly recommend this spot and will be back. read more

The restaurant was super cute and had very nice fairy lights as outdoor seating decor. Outdoor seating was actually outdoots so good for ythem. To be honest the food wasn't very memorable, but the price was decent for the portion. I definitely enjoyed the ambience more than the food itself. The server was kind of rude and rushing us, so that's what pushed it down a star, otherwise a decent place to check out in Morningside Heights, but I probably wouldn't go back again. read more

I did outdoor dining for brunch few weeks ago, and revisited during the weekday for dinner. This time, dining inside. As always, their service was excellent. And the ambience inside was great! I am just a little bit disappointed by the quality of a few of the dishes, although some were very nice. The good ones were: 1. Garganelli - I am not a big seafood person but this one deserves 4-5 stars! 2. Contadina salad - pretty basic ingredients, but I loved the white balsamic vinegar taste! Quite nice before the meal. 3. Tiramisu was fantastic as other reviews attest! I would even wanna go back just to have a dessert. It's also pretty big! Some of the disappointing ones were: 4. Arancini - came with only two pieces, and tasted meh... not worth $14 5. Lasagna - this is partly my fault for ordering something off the dine-in menu. This dish was on the delivery/take out menu. I was craving lasagna so much that day and ended up ordering this one from the takeout menu. It literally tasted like a frozen lasagna... topped with fresh basil. Super disappointed. I am still willing to give 4 stars, because of the low-key yet romantic ambience and some good food! read more

A lovely friendly restaurant. Very prettily decorated. We were there New Year's Eve and the restaurant was packed with people headed to the concert for peace directly across the street at St. John Divine. The restaurant was crowded, we didm't have a reservation but they tucked us in which was nice of them and got everyone out in time. Food was quite delicious. They hit you $15 for glass of house wine, but I guess that huge mark up pays the bills! I recommend the place for those who live on the upper west side. read more

A refreshing and pleasant dining experience outdoors! Stopped by with my mom on a weekday afternoon in the summer. They currently only offer the dinner menu all day. The garganelli pasta with sauteed shrimp, mussles, and asparagus was incredible - pasta was just the right chewiness, sauce had just the right combination of acidic tomato and deep asparagus flavor. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the shrimp was slightly overcooked, and the waiter wasn't good at giving recommendations. We accidentally ordered two dishes with the same flavor profile (tomato-based seafood) and he said nothing at the time. read more
