Albert TongFebruary 15, 2016Delicious roasted kale & butternut squash salad w/ pumpkin seeds. Amazing black truffle ricotta ravioli & truffle crusted salmon. Finished off w/ bittersweet chocolate pudding & creme brûlée. #nom
Caroline SchulweisJuly 17, 2014Sit in the back garden area (covered in the winter). Definitely get the brussel sprouts, some vino, and any of their pasta dishes. They offer gluten free pasta now too! Bolognese pictured below.
Michael NataleOctober 17, 2018Grab a Pinot Noir, a friend or date, order apps and a meal and enjoy. Cool outdoor courtyard in back. Try the rigatoni for pasta, or the pork shank for a meat selection. All the burrata apps were good
ZenFoodsterMarch 31, 20141 of my fave N. Italian in NYC! Caramelized cauliflower, brussel sprouts, spaghetti carbonara, & “Orecchiette” Broccoli Rabe & Sausage are musts! So is sitting in the enclosed garden.
Farhana SheatsSeptember 11, 2014This place is heavenly! The duck was done perfectly! The olives stuffed with blue cheese that accompany the dirty martini is delightful. The black truffle ravioli melts in your mouth. A+ everything.
John AOctober 29, 2016Hidden below a staircase on 14th Street is a terrific place for Italian food. Recommend: garlic bread, a massive brick of goodness. Pasta and raviolis are all good as well. Nice wine and cocktails.
Ashley VelazquezFebruary 23, 2014Went here on a date & loved it. Low lights to set the mood. Reasonably priced. Try the fried calamari with zucchini! It is to die for :) Has a great selection of wine. The bottle service was great! ♡
Nastja StaceyOctober 28, 2013Ravioli with black truffles are the best ($25)! Try lychee martini ($10) and delicious Buratta Di Puglia ($11). Lamb chops ($27) also have amazing taste!
Ash MiramantJuly 28, 2013Amazing food! Sit in the back room on a nice night, it is open air if its not raining and absolutely beautiful out back! Try the pasta with prosciutto and peas with truffle oil, it was amazing.
Morgan McKeeApril 16, 2018Yummy Italian in a cute and cozy location. Portions aren’t crazy aggressive so treat yourself to garlic bread to start. Strangely marg special was 👌🏻
Tara BAugust 22, 2013Excellent food. Everything was fantastic. Rice Balls and Brussel Sprouts for apps. Black truffle ricotta ravioli as an entree and ricotta cheesecake for dessert. We sat in the garden area. So nice.
etta yAugust 27, 2014Great food - beautiful burrata appetizer followed by a gorgeous grilled branzino. Cheesecake was pretty, gleaming with strawberries but had a mealy texture. Skip dessert and get a second appetizer.
Sharon ManOctober 6, 2015We were impressed with the pork saltimbocca (juicy and well seasoned), short ribs, mushroom crusted salmon, and spaghetti and meatballs. Well executed food and good desserts.
Sheila Mimi GabeMay 18, 2017Truffle pasta was superb! The place has a very romantic ambiance and feels like it's on a different time zone. Cabernet and Barbara reds are both very good! 👌🏼
Aaron AllonApril 23, 2018Delicious home made pasta. Decor is dated and vibe is a little strange but highly recommend the food. Get the carbonara - among the best I’ve had.
Leisha MagsisiJune 28, 2015Gnocchi with duck was amazing. Burrata was delicious. A great place for dinner! Kind of loud but it was good for a group dinner when everyone had been day drinking.
Geoffery EdwardMay 6, 2015Grilled octopus and pork belly appetizers are great. Really enjoyed the avocado and kale salad. Duck breast is a great entree. Can't beat the tiramisu for desert.
The Spaghetti & Shrimp Fra Diavola is on the right side of spicy & delicious. Its a great dish to share, which I did with the “Orecchiette” Broccoli Rabe. 6X combo points if you pull it off!
Sarah BachmannSeptember 22, 2013Recommended from Cafeteria's own Chef Linda. I went here with my parents and my boyfriend. We ended up sitting in the back terrace. Beautiful ambiance. Wonderful service, though the food took a while.
Rafi RomeroMay 24, 2015all excellent: maple Brussels sprouts (!), bone marrow escargot (!!), black truffle ravioli. good but not great: risotto mozzarella balls (lots of tips raved about them but I though they were just ok)
Lori LuoMay 14, 2015Save room for the excellent pastas, which are ideal for sharing. The basic spaghetti and meatballs and the ravioli with black truffles are both delicious.
Jen MakulowichNovember 5, 2016Spacious & lots of seating. Yummy selections. Hangar steak was delish. They also offer Gf pasta! Great spot to bring out of towners.
PJ WalkerNovember 15, 2019The rice balls were a little over-fried, but the freshness of the pasta dishes are worth the trip. It's crowded & noisy, but hey, it's NYC so nothing new there if you're cold, there are fireplaces
BunmiJuly 13, 2016Make a reservation for the outside area in the back - it's beautiful! Also order the short rib ravioli or shrimp & spaghetti 👌🏾
Kate LiangJune 27, 2013Most of the pastas can be replaced with a gluten-free penne or spaghetti, but for the ones that can't (e.g. ravioli) , they're happy to create a dish with the same sauce and a gf pasta
Nikki RobertsonMay 14, 2013Party of four an each of us ordered different apps, entrees and deserts...everything was awesome! ESP enjoyed the stuffed figs and pork belly, and coconut sorbet.
Rachel IvyApril 1, 2015The prosciutto fig and parm platter, rice balls, and eggplant apps were all delicious. The lobster and scallop ravioli was ok, it had very little filling though.
Cesar RazuriAugust 18, 2013The Brussels Sprouts and Spaghetti & Shrimp "Fra Diavola" are good options if choosing to share. Sit in the back, where if it's sunny they'll pull back the retractable roof.- Lori LuoOctober 9, 2014Must orders include: the Bone Marrow, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and the Black Truffle Ricotta Ravioli.
Carolyn ZentgrafJuly 10, 2013Ask for a table in the back, order pork belly gorgonzola stuffed figs & let the magic begin! Trofie w truffle butter and chocolate torte win all. Incred find.
Francis UdlerOctober 19, 2014Cute place, lots of seating. Mozzarella with truffle, fried mozzarella balls, brussels sprouts and any pasta. Didn't love the gnocchi as the sauce was too plane.- Chandani JainJuly 24, 2011The maple_roasted brussels sprouts, the gnoCchi, the papardelle, the mushroom trifolati, the burrata cheese, the beet salad, among the many vegetarian delights at crispo! Consistently excellent!
Jared HaversonDecember 25, 2012Mozzarella risotto balls and the spaghetti and meatballs are stars. Highly recommended. Could not stop eating them. Pleasant staff and really cozy space.
IriskaFebruary 19, 2017Great food, but a little pricey. Also, tables are on top of each other which doesn't make it very comfortable.
Val TJune 27, 2015Bone marrow is best for groups as it is a large portion. Carbonara is delicious. Ask to sit in the garden!
Alexandra MaApril 4, 2015Everything was great here. Try all the appetizers: the caramelized cauliflower and burrata were particularly good.
Patrick BaskinNovember 1, 2016Garlic bread special was amazing, solid Italian joint; great for groups because it's such a large space- Michaele KehrtNovember 6, 2016The striped bass with roasted asparagus was incredible, as was the salmon. The best garlic bread I have ever had!
I recommend the grilled octopus and the hanger steak with the castle Pinot noir. Tasty AF.
Neha SebastianApril 4, 2016Huge space. Beautiful garden area in the back. Love the restaurant, but not the food as much. Pasta was slightly undercooked and wine was much lighter than promised.
Sarah MackeyJuly 13, 2015The carbonara is delicious and the special of peaches and mozzarella was amazing.
- Shawna MichelleJanuary 9, 2014The whole wheat pasta with roasted cauliflower is Amazeballs! I don't even like Italian that much and did not want meat. Would highly recommend this place!
- EmilyFebruary 15, 2016Great date spot - went here for Valentines Day. Prosciutto plate, ravioli, and tiramisu were all amazing.
Chelsea BalkanMay 24, 2012Risotto balls are great. The cheese one is slightly better of you only want to pick one. The pasta with truffle oil and peas is also a favorite.
Andrew GattoFebruary 28, 2015Spaghetti Carbonara is amazing. Maybe my favorite pasta dish on the planet. I promise you won't regret it.
J.R. ReedApril 23, 2018The carbonara dish is very good but think there are other Italian spots in the area I would more highly recommend
bone marrow, risotto balls, carbonara, and banana sorbet were AMAZING. service is a little slow but the good made up for it.
Angelina ZeppieriJanuary 27, 2019Restaurant looks small on the outside but it huge! Food was really good, would definitely go back.
Karin XJune 27, 2011perfectly cooked broccoli rabe. try the okinawan sweet potato tortellini with pine nuts. garden is cute and great for groups. was very loud on a friday night.
BrandonJanuary 1, 2015Rissotto balls and lamb ragu pappardelle was amazing. Next time getting the huge pieces of bone marrow.
