While the pastas here are pretty much to die for (especially the Carbonara), don't pass on the duck. It's up there with one of best duck dishes we've had.
by The Corcoran Group
Be aware of the young and unprofessional hostesses
by Kitiya Z.
must get the duck! but it does have a very fatty skin
by Aileen T.
Absolutely amazing Italian restaurant. Make sure you make reservations for seats at the chefs bar.
by Tae K.
Great sweetbreads. Risotto is not risotto - more like Italian fried rice with sausage but still quite good.
by Alberto M.
get the duck and octopus!
by Aileen T.
Bronzino was delicioussss
by Ria
Get a blood orange negroni to start - all of the food is amazing so you can't go wrong with your order
by Julia B.
Waited at the door and no one even acknowledged our presence... Another couple walked in and the hostess spoke to them, continued to ignore us.
by Margaux L.
Start with wine & ricotta costini @Anfora. Then octopus salad, pappardelle bolognese ragu, skirt steak & side of corn. Wish someone would have provided better wine recos. Other than that = perfection!
by Christina S.
risotto is to die for! apart from it still the best pasta in the city
by Hauke V.
Must have meal--the uova fungi misti-it unlike any breakfast dish I've had before and super filling!!
by Maryanna Q.
The Pinot Grigio Ramato is the best wine I've ever tasted.
by Katie B.
Be early or they'll give your table away...
by Adetayo A.
Be sure to order the Charred Octopus. It's smokey, slight tart and wildly addicting.
by Gena
Get the pineapple upside down cake with coconut sorbet. You will not regret it.
by Amy L.
The poached egg, polenta, & shrimp brunch special was one of the best things I've ever eaten. If it's not available, baked eggs are supposedly very similar.
by Erin G.
get any of the pastas, they're amazing
by Aileen T.
the pasta is amazing!
by Aileen T.
Not only is the food delicious, the restaurant is a certified green restaurant for being sustainable. The wine list is also impressive.

Grub Street off-menu dish: Ricotta Tortellini. "There's plenty of pasta on the menu, but one that's always available is this rich combo of creamy ricotta & seasonal produce such as beets or eggplant."

Ricotta Tortellini: rich combination of creamy ricotta and seasonal produce (eggplants pictured here) #cachet #supersecret

All the food is divine! Can't go wrong with the octopus, bass tartare starters and the Orata cooked in parchment paper with vegetables. Even the chocolate sorbet is fancy with a little hint of salt.
by Elyse E.
All the food has some spice to it. Be prepared to have something spicy even if they say it's mild
by Cali Z.
Bring a hearty appetite to this West Village eatery, because all 5 bruschettes are an absolute must.
by Three Jane
Great pasta but I'm more than a little disappointed that my 'seasonal fruit salad' (ringing in at $10!) only consisted of melon. Mint was the only redeeming touch. (brunch)
by Jo N.
Dark chocolate pistachio tart is to die for. Start with charred octopus for sure.
by Nidhi B.
The chicken is different than the JW chicken at Barbutto, so hard to compare, but amazing for their use of spices. Get it to share with a plate of the buccatini.
by Rick V.
Somewhat sloppy food makes this seem more like a wine bar than restaurant. While the pastas were tasty (in the $20 range) char grilled octopus ($19) was more charred than grilled. Loud, cramped space.
by The Food Sluts
charred octopus, risotto alla pilota, pappardelle integrale
by Sally Y.
Sit at the back bar, where you can dine and watch the food prepared. Great experience. Hard to get reservations, though.

Do me a favor and get the brussel sprouts.
by Melissa O.
Charred octopus was fantastic. Also highly recommend the rum cake.
by Mark S.
The negroni sbagliato is a fabulous cocktail - not to be missed!
by Heather V.
MAGNIFICENT! You must get the risotto. It's absolutely amazing.
by Ian P.
For dessert, try something out of the ordinary and get the cornbread pudding, served with a fruity fig compote and perfectly light ricotta ice cream.
by Halstead Property
Order various bruschetta for the table. Soooo tasty
by SaraDISH S.

by SaraDISH S.

I just had a trofie cacio e pepe worthy of a last supper
by Priya G.
For you pomodoro technique fans, try the Pomodorini: Gin with a pickled tomato.
by Rex M.
a hidden gem for brunch, if you want to avoid the waits at other places. All of the egg dishes are great. Splurge on the pasta bolognese.
by Laura L.
scrumptious italian food- the best i've had in nyc so far. you must try the caramelized brussel sprouts if they're in season.
by cyn k.
Crudo, octopus, taglietlle, chicken all win!
by Kurt V.
Sit at chefs counter and order the chicken.
by Jordan L.
Al dente, full of flavor, and home made. Great service, beautiful interior, you definitely get what you pay for.
by Razorfish
Sit at the chef's table and enjoy the dance as they turn out incredible meals.
by Adam S.
The pappardelle integrale is insanely good.
by Olga R.
Dishes were all delicious, fav was the carbonara and scallops crudo. For dessert, the rum cake with salted gelato is a must!
