Melissa RosenthalNovember 2, 2014Great food all around. The vongole is delicious and definitely recommended. Best to come here early on a Sunday to avoid the crowds and take advantage of the half priced wine.
Warrent SattJanuary 18, 2014Marco Porceddu from Sardinia is in the kitchen. Look for swordfish carpaccio, chestnut flour tagliatelle with sausage and wild fennel and stuffed wild boar. Chocolate eggplant is a signature dessert.
EchoDADecember 15, 2012amazing thin crusted lite pizza - the mushroom one was amazing.. it addictive, along with a good wine selection, with a warm atmosphere with cozy fireplace area as well-- enjoy
Trae FSeptember 20, 2015Had the calamari and Salsiccia pizza and they were both good. This is a huge restaurant and it was mostly empty for a Saturday night. Not sure why.
HOBNOB MagazineJuly 1, 2012Great brunch. Amazing, authentic Italian dishes. Cold seafood salad is done right. Olives stuffed with veal picatta is to die for. Good for a crowd.
Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.netDecember 29, 2016Special risotto was good. Nice service, no rush. Restaurant is spacious and quiet. Dessert (chestnut) was just okay.
Lisa DOctober 5, 2011Excellent Sunday jazz brunch when Luis Guzman is performing on bass. Menu: with a group, order Bellini Quartino for variety with Prosecco. Food is okay - go for pizza instead of breakfast.
Roman GarciaJune 20, 2011Before dinner, always go up to the rooftop of the Gansevoort and try one of their specialty cocktails or just go straight for the dirty martini, with extra olives.
AprilJanuary 16, 2011Favorite place for beets and loved that the menu is accommodating for all - vegetarians, meat lovers, and seafood lovers. Great for business lunches!
If you like Reds, try the Dolcetto D'alba. Beef burger with fontina and mortadella is happily married with truffle fries. Seriously yum!
ThrillistSeptember 23, 2011Try Asellina's “Maria Sanguinosa,” which is italicized with a shot of grappa. It’s also the only Bloody you can order by singing “Maria, Maria”.
Mary GazellaJuly 17, 2011The Bellini brunch deal is awesome! I had it with the poached truffle eggs which were delectable. Our waiter was kinda crazy, but whatareyagonnado?
Joonbug.comOctober 15, 2012Head to Asellina for Angels & Demons Cotillion Held on Saturday, October 27th, 2012 from 9PM - 4AM. Don't miss out on the 1 hour vodka open bar from 9PM-10PM. Tickets are starting at $10. Read more
Lior YanayJune 27, 2016Food was good but took a while, and it didn't seem very busy. Pizza Margarita and Spaghetti were very tasty and flavorful.
Amanda TerryFebruary 2, 2011Great beet salad and tagliatelli w oxtail ragu. Branzino good also. Service could be improved- didn't seem to "delight" restaurant goers but only a month old so will likely get better.
Wilson ZhouJuly 29, 2013Not traditional Italian restaurant, pasta dishes are rich in material not the sauce , best seafood pasta in my neighborhood so far, at least this restaurant is my cup of tea.
SavoredJanuary 28, 2011Highly recommend Chef Marco Porceddu's signature cauliflower soup. It taste creamy but he doesn't use an ounce of cream. Also, the bread is so fresh. The pasta is great too!
My favorite brunch place in the area; they serve good coffee, great breads, and amazing wood fired eggs.
The Sunday Brunch is my favorite. It's laid back with world class music and food! I show up around 12. Join me?
Frank RimalovskiMarch 31, 2012Hip, crowded & noisy modern Italian. Very good and fun for groups. BTW, who named this place? (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Yera HaFebruary 20, 2015The wait staff was a little difficult, but the food made up for it. Try the garganelli!- The live retro jazz is super dope! I go every Sunday, something about the music, food, and champagne!!!
- For dessert try the celery custard with rhubarb, great fusion of flavors for a light finish.
Emaan MNovember 11, 2011Great customer service! Eggplant appetizer is amazing, as well as the chicken entree and beef tenderloin.
Try the Italian grilled cheese and tomato soup combo! Perfect for a chilly day!
Chef Marco Porceddu puts a rustic Italian touche on many classic Italian dishes. Start off with the meatballs and flatbread pizza!
I'm all about the prosciutto pizza and chicken paillard here
GREAT date spot.. Ambiance is amazing.. So is the Famosa cocktail!
- Italian grilled cheese is married with a delish baguette and tomato soup.
Heather BumpassApril 19, 2016Went for Sunday brunch- The eggs Benedict were amazing. Everything else was so so. I left hungry. Service was incredibly slow & it wasn't busy. I have no desire to ever eat there again. Disappointed
Danny Airtime 📻November 2, 2011The food better be awesome because the customer service is terrible. Gotta love NYC trendy spots!
Dr Profressor Food Destroyer Von Die Quantum RealmMarch 28, 2014If I could award negative Michelin Stars, I'd give this place two. Cut rate crap for the college fringe of Murray Hill. If you love food don't bother.
Dorothy McGivneyNovember 16, 2011Anyone recommending the pizza here has never been to Italy nor are they from New York.
Tabi YooOctober 11, 2015Came for an early-ish breakfast and the restaurant was close to empty, yet the service was absolutely terrible. Horrible waitstaff that was extremely slow, food subpar AT BEST. Never coming back.
