I should have known from the get-go that I was likely in for a world of disappointment when I asked if their tomato sauce was made with San Marzano tomatoes and neither the staff nor the chef(s) had any idea what I was talking about. I made the mistake after that of ordering the chicken parm. Decent at best. Not as pounded out as I would have liked. The sauce was very acidic, and the entire dish was somewhat cold, with half the cheese burned. Wasn't in the mood to send it back, so I ate some and left more than half. The side portion of rigatoni was also decent at best. The pasta texture was almost as if it was cooked al dente but sat there and then mixed with sauce. The staff, although super friendly, still need some attention to detail. Overall not the best experience. Likely not headed back. read more

If I'm being honest, this is more of a 3.5 stars spot. First off, I like the ambiance. It has an old school vibe of an Italian restaurant but clean and spacious. In a city like NY, it's not common to find a place that provides space where you don't feel like the people next to you can hear everything you're talking about. We had a newer waiter so the service was somewhat uneven but he was nice enough and I'm sure he will improve. The drinks were so-so. I got an old fashioned and it was passable at best. Don't come here for drinks unless you're having wine. The food was good, not great. It's a high bar in NYC because NY Italian is the best in the US IMHO. The pizza and pasta were great. The pizza had a nice crust and the sauce was flavorful without being overpowering. We added sausage which added a nice spice to the pizza. The spaghetti with small meatballs was great. Perfectly cooked pasta. The sauce was nicely balanced in terms of acidity, salt, and sweetness. The meatballs were savory and elevated the dish. The spicy chicken was average. The flavors almost were spur, the sausage was crumbly and dry. I regretted getting this dish. We also got the pork chop. Alsp pretty bland and a very average pork chop. It was probably a tad over cooked as well. All in all, I would come back for their pasta and pizza but I wouldn't eat anything else. read more

We came here one night after checking Yelp for reviews and we had a very nice dinner. The service was attentive and good by Giulio, the table we had by the window gave us a good view of folks walking (and less noise than was going on elsewhere in the restaurant ). We had the chicken parmigiano and chicken capreses - one irritating thing. I asked why no pasta with it so Guilio said he'd make sure I had some. Yes, to the tune of $14, which he did not tell me. The food was tasty and fairly big portions. Espresso was very good. read more

Zero Otto Nove is a good spot for Italian, especially if you have a big group! We were seated upstairs in a quiet little nook of the restaurant. The servers were a bit overbearing - I didn't particularly like how they served every dish to us, especially because I didn't get to take my Yelp photo of the dish before! haha ... the waitress also came over to ask how the food was before I had even taken a bite. She also stood by our table for the majority of the meal, and with only another table there in that little upstairs nook it was a bit awkward. She was a bit too much, but maybe that is their thing there (to serve each dish). The Radiatori in Cartoccio ($30 - Radiatori pasta cooked in tinfoil with porcini mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, breadcrumbs & shaved parmigiana Reggiano) was pretty delicious - the Veal ($48) you could either have it as parmigiana, breaded & pan fried with tomato sauce & mozzarella -or- Grilled with broccoli rabe & sweet cherry peppers. We chose the grilled as it was healthier and it was pretty good, but a bit too salty. Overall a good Italian restaurant - minus the pushy servers. read more

I was in the area and hungry, so I stopped in here randomly without checking reviews or google. We all need to do that more often! This is an Italian place. They have several selections of pizza (Margherita, caprese, Napoletana, and more). They also have a large antipasti section (grilled octopus, sautéed short ribs, burrata, a fave bean dish, roasted peppers, eggplant and zucchini and more). Typical salads (lots of arugula and goat cheese). A secondi course as well (dug, short ribs, chicken, steak, salmon, veal, pork chops). I went straight to the pasta section because I was craving carbs. I was torn between three dishes, including the rigatoni salernitana (meatballs, sopressata, ricotta, mozzarella, sliced egg, tomato sauce), the cacio e Pepe dish, and the radiatori in cartoccio. The cartoccio is their signature dish, therefore my server recommended it on my first time dining with them. A radiatori pasta made in tinfoil with porcini mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, breadcrumbs, and parmigiana, it was decadent, cheesy, and flavorful. I don't regret my choice, as I may never have the chance to have this again in another restaurant, but next time I definitely want that savory, sumptuous sounding rigatoni! Service was over the top. Freddie was my main server, and checked on me multiple times. He made me great drinks (I just had him surprise me each time with whatever he wanted to concoct). Multiple other servers, all handsome, magnetic, and gregarious, all checked on me. All of them called me Bella and wanted to make sure everything was to my liking. The prices here are extremely reasonable, especially given it's in midtown Manhattan/flatiron district. The food comes in huge portions, the service is amazing. This Bella would not hesitate to stop by here again. read more

The wife and I definitely need to come back to Zero Otto Nove, only her and I. Brought the kids here and their friends for some pizza. I think we need a date night without them. Definitely not just pizza. The pizza was great. Can't complain about it. It was just not the pizza that we expected for New York City pizza with the kids. I guess it wasn't what I expected for a NYC pizza! Service was outstanding, everyone was very nice. read more

Unexpectedly fell upon this place on a Tuesday after work one day and walked in. We had a really good experience and the server was nice and attentive. The inside is pretty big and I'd imagine a good place if you have a larger party. The chicken parm with vodka was good (it's just the chicken so need to order a separate pasta which I thought was a bit odd). The Bucatini Cacio e Pepe con Carciofi was solid. Weirdly enough I think it would be better with a protein instead of artichokes. The Salumi e Formaggi is good for a larger group. Overall it was good - just missing "something" and in NYC there is no shortage of really good Italian so in good faith can't give more than an average 3. read more

Zero Otto Nove - Fettuccine truffle special. Awesome - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

I'm surprised that I never wrote a review for this restaurant until now, as this is not my first visit. First of all, if you like wine, this is the place for you. The wine list contains lots of great Italian wine selections, many of the bottles with a nice age on them and even then without breaking the bank. We had a beautiful 2001 brunello with our dinner and it was priced very reasonably considering the age and pedigree. And then the food, of course. Quintessential Italian. Fresh bread was served with the most delicious olive oil. We ordered Margarita Pizza to share, and it was just excellent. Grilled octopus was one of the very best I ever had. And Fava beans appetizer was delightful as well. I had ravioli special as my main course and almost licked the plate afterwards. Prompt, friendly, attentive service. Highly recommended. read more

Terrible desecration of food by over-salting. Who does this? I am almost 70 and in old traditional Italian restaurants salt was on the table, and very little was in the food from the kitchen, but I guess today younger people need a lot of salt in their food, and they don't know how to add salt, or they are too lazy to salt it themselves. The sodium almost put me in the hospital. The tomato sauce tasted like the ocean, it was that salty. I see that many reviews have complained about too much salt, so I guess the "chef" loves salty food. This meal was ruined by the salt. With a normal amount of salt this would have been an incredible meal, we had the eggplant zucchini parmesan and the caprese salad. Sad that it is so hard to find good Italian food anymore in New York. The only positive thing was it was delivered quickly and still hot by Grubhub. read more

Yet another mediocre highly priced restaurant. Food was perfectly fine although the mini meatballs were overcooked and dry and the rigatoni was undercooked - the red sauce was not to my taste but then again I was spoiled by my Sicilian mother and grandmothers. Service was also perfectly fine but nothing to blow you away. Filling your water glass every time you take a sip gets annoying after a while. There are better options nearby. I will not be returning. read more

Getting ready for my 72nd birthday. I usually go to NYC and stay in the Flatiron area. Last year (2025) I went to Zero Otto Nove. I've walked by it and wanted to try it. I finally did....and I wanted their Cacio e Pepe. It was my 71st birthday, I am a woman who travels alone. I went here for a late lunch before my train home to Boston. Consider my situation, a 71 year old woman eating alone. It was around 2PM the restaurant was empty...there were only about 4 tables with people eating. THEY SAT ME WAY WAY IN THE BACK BEHIND A COLUMN!!!!!! All the window seats were empty, almost all the seats in the front area were empty....but they sat me way back where no one would see me. This is a typical way restos hide women alone. It's so unfair, disgraceful really. I ordered the cacio e pepe. I could only eat about 1/4 of it. It was so heavy and way too rich. It's parm, water, pepper and pasta. They took the easy way out and obviously added cream and it was way too heavy. Yeah the service was great...there was no one there! But if you are a woman alone...I'd say don't go here they will hide you away in the back. read more

I absolutely love this place. I've been going to the one on Arthur Ave for years and glad I finally tried the Manhattan restaurant

3.5 / 5.0 - We came to Zero Otto for dinner with a friend who was visiting from out of town. The food was delicious, but the service was a disappointment. For appetizer, we shared the Barbabietole e Burrata ($21+) which is burrata with sliced red and yellow beets & arugula in a light balsamic drizzle. It was a delightful light appetizer and the burrata was delicious. For main, each of us ordered a different pasta dish. I chose the Radiatori con Brasato ($29+), which is radiatori pasta with short ribs, sun dried pepper, cherry tomatoes & a touch of tomato sauce topped with arugula and shaved parmigiana. The radiatori was a heavier pasta than I'd expected and quite filling. I loved the short ribs and the combination of arugula and parmesan cheese. We had no problems with our server and I did leave a 20% tip. However, there was another server who was speeding around and kept on bumping into my chair every time she walked by. Once could have been an accident, but it happened repeatedly and she never apologized once. It made for a very unpleasant dining experience. They need to create more space in between tables or be more careful when passing through tables. Although the food was great, I would not recommend dining here unless you have a corner table or table by the wall without servers passing behind you. read more

Space is nice, food is decent, but the TV sets absolutely KILL the vibe! is this a sports bar? WHY WHY WHY would anyone (other than a sports bar-bar being the operative word) have a TV set in a restaurant??? AWFUL.

Rating: 3.5 stars My friend and I came by on a Sunday night around 7 PM. When we arrived, the restaurant itself was fairly empty so we were able to sit right next to the large windows. Even though we were sat down right away, we did have to wait a while to receive service. Additionally, getting our food also did take quite a bit of time. They brought a small bread bowl for us. The bread flavor was ok; however, it was very cold. Would have been nice if the bread was warmed up before hand. Afterwards, we ordered the BURRATA E GAMBERI for an appetizer. The burrata quality was great and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. However, the creamed corn on the bottom of the dish was not that good, the flavor was a bit strange but it did get better after mixing it together with the burrata. However, if they had a different base I would have enjoyed this much more. For our mains we shared: QUATTRO FORMAGGI: The pizza was quite thick and large. Flavor was very nice and was a great option and the dense cheesiness was only a pro. RISOTTO ALLA PESCATORE: The dish was a bit more soupy compared to a typical risotto and tasted more like a gumbo but it was still a nice flavor. The shrimp was well cooked and it had a nice amount of mussels included. PATATE E CAVOLETTI DI BRUXELLES: The brussel sprouts were great! However, the potatoes were too oily. All in all, an adequate dinner with a few hiccups throughout. read more

We had a reservation for 5, eight of us showed up. The staff was super accommodating, letting us move from the private side-room to the banquet table in the back. I don't think two of us had the same dish. Named after the Naples area code... you could expect that would be the focus, though much of the staff is Albanian. Not sure about the chefs, but they were great. EVERY one of us loved the food. I wish I could tell you what we had, but it was appetizers, main dishes, and deserts. There was one or two VERY MINOR complaints about portion sizes... but no complaints about the food or the service. And there is a unique atmosphere, that includes a private balcony and a private section for 5 off to the side. read more

Really delicious food, great cocktails and our service was great. We shared the Spaghetti con Polpettine e Caprino and it was heavenly.

We were seated upstairs and it seemed cozier than downstairs which was a little loud. read more

This is a great place for large parties; they're huge and had plenty of reservations available, even last-minute. I loved the pomegranate martini; fruity and strong. The quattro formaggi pizza ($23) was a great starter and the crust was perfectly thin. The bucatini cacio e pepe ($27) was delicious as well and the artichoke was a nice touch. They had plenty of daily specials, which several people in my party ordered and were all tasty. Everything came out fresh and piping hot. Overall a bit pricey, but a delicious meal! read more

The service was incredible. From the moment we walked in, from when we sat down and when we ended. The pasta was mixed for us! The server was so incredibly attentive. We wouldn't even have to waive them down, they just knew we needed more water. They were so fast with their service and checked in with us often. We arrived at 6 PM which was a couple of hours before it got really busy so we had a chance to really talk and catch up with our friends. The Cabernet was really yummy as well!

I have been to so many Restaurant Week things this year and honestly I have been disappointed each time. It feels like a lot of restaurants use it as an opportunity to get people to try their food but except everything they serve is not good quality and is not representative of their menu. Most of the times, the items on the Restaurant Week menu isn't even a part of their normal menu options. I felt like giving up on restaurant, but then I made a last ditch effort to Zero Otto Nove and I believe in Restaurant Week again! This place was absolutely amazing! Was seated in this beautiful cavern upon arrival. - Tiramisu - Incredible! This is how tiramisu should taste. I love the subtle taste of alcohol(?) they put into the dessert and the cream didn't make the cake too sweet. 10/10. Probably the best part of the night. - Bistecca alla Salernitana - They seriously did not skimp on the meat of this steak at all! I thought they would maybe only give me half an entree, but they gave me the full thing. The dish was beautifully plated with the cheese all over the steak and arugula to balance everything else. I can't say that the steak was the best thing I ever had in my life, but I did appreciate the artichokes on it to balance out the meatiness of the dish. - Polpettine, Polenta e Caprino - The meatballs were very eh, but the polenta! I think this was probably the best polenta I ever had in my life. It had a bit of crust on the outside with a bit of bacon flavor and on the inside, it was so soft with a melt in your mouth texture. Honestly I could have just eaten the polenta and been happy. Overall, if I calculate the total cost of all of this, I probably ate around $70-80ish worth of food on a regular day and all of this only cost $45 for me. What a steal! If there's another Restaurant Week, would definitely come back and add this onto your list! read more
