SuperbJune 26, 2012A cozy (though actually quite spacious) spot for brunch. Try their soft-scrambled eggs with pecorino and black pepper! (Tip: Check out the bathroom in the hotel lobby. Very cool.)
Kate FurmanJuly 12, 2016Get a few primi and secondi plates to share family style. Highly recommend the octopus and squid ink pasta. Gratuity is included.
Jeremiah BaumannMarch 18, 2018It’s expensive but the breakfast is amazingly delicious. Scrambled egg dishes based on Roman pasta classics like cacio e pepe, carbonara, etc
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 12, 2013Get the Porcetta sandwich for brunch - juicy roast pork and fried eggs on ciabatta. It will redefine the way you think about breakfast sandwiches.
Emily LDecember 20, 2016Fantastic and authentic Italian food in a casual setting. Highly recommended, with good quality ingredients and great service.
lisa limJune 30, 2012Scrambled eggs cacio e pepe - super tasty. Maialino Contadino (poached eggs with market veg) fresh and delicious. One of the few places that that doesn't over poach their eggs.
Nat HarwardDecember 10, 2013Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding: "You will absolutely want to save room for this little lump of heaven, which comes snuggled up next to a scoop of hazelnut gelato." Read more
Joan ParkJuly 26, 2015order the pastry basket, tonnarelli e cacio e pepe, ricotta pancakes and pistacchio ice cream for dessert. the pork hash was okay (very salty) and the contadino disappointing (not much flavor).
Gregory FisherSeptember 24, 2018Skip the antipasti and the Vongole. The chicken is a surprisingly good choice and the sundae and the chocolate hazelnut cake were standouts.
The Wall Street JournalMay 24, 2010Popular midday dishes include the peppered chicken on arugula ($19); marinated sea bass with asparagus on a salad ($19); and the pasta with black pepper, egg and guanciale, cured pig jowl ($15). Read more
Chelsea BalkanMay 12, 2018#FabuLIST #DubiDO charming rustic place. Get the ricotta pancakes as an app to share, Carbonara eggs and Cacio e Pepe pasta.
Spectacular food. Also excellent at getting coffee on the high tops. Beware, gets very crowded in the evenings. Because it's you know, awesome.
Michael KennedyMay 28, 2017Great brunch. The olive oil muffin is delicious. So is the porchetta sandwich.
It's not surprising that the happy hour here (5-7 PM, M-F, bar) Danny Mayer's gem is fantastic. $5 wines and small bites. Do it if you're in the area.
Nancy AckenhausenApril 10, 2016Ricotta pancakes- nothing else compares. Order a starter of mozzarella with prosciutto and a basket of French pastries. Remember no tipping at Danny Meyer restaurants
Nancy ChenSeptember 29, 2014Brunch is great here, get the pastry basket to try a few different types. For dinner, lamb chops and half chicken can't be beat.
EaterJanuary 11, 2012The seasonal pastas are some of the best items on chef Nick Anderer's menu. [Eater 38 Member]
The New York TimesMay 5, 2010Recommended: Salumi, fried artichokes, tripe, pastas, swordfish, deviled chicken, roast suckling pig. For dessert, revive yourself with a simple affogato: vanilla ice cream drowned in espresso. Read more
Breakfast is the meal that is worth the dough. Feeling naughty? Cacio e Pepe eggs. Feeling nice? Frittata. In the middle? Contadino. Coffee, always.
Elizabeth BursteinApril 29, 2018Great for groups. Yummy spot for a cinnamon roll. Same guy behind shake shack
- Sarah SpagnoloMarch 25, 2016At breakfast, the yogurt dish is drizzled with vanilla and includes mandarins and grapefruit. The mix of sweet and citrus is divine.
Financial TimesNovember 24, 2011Breakfast: Maialino was distinguished by my wife’s regular order of their toffee glazed brioche and mine of granola with vincotto, a thick, sweet grape syrup from Apulia, southern Italy. Read more
Serious EatsMarch 29, 2013This Roman restaurant in the Gramercy Park, helmed by Nick Anderer, offers one of our favorite breakfasts in the city.
Tasting TableJuly 12, 2012Stop in for the just-introduced late-night pizza special. Beginning at 9 p.m., this Gramercy restaurant is serving a $12 deal that includes a Brooklyn Brewery beer and a carbonara pizza: Read more
Ricky SherrillJuly 25, 2015Breakfast, Lunch, or dinner..... You will not be disappointed. Food is served family style which makes sampling fun.
Josh ComptonOctober 16, 2015Sit at the bar and have a cappuccino. The baristas know what they're doing and the barkeeps are super friendly.
Will HarahanOctober 29, 2018The cacio e pepe is huge and heavy, advise the smaller portion or another dish.
BLDProjectJune 7, 2011Maialino is rolling out a gem of a happy hour menu in the bar for summer: Roman-style pizza squares; beef and rabbit meatballs; rustic potato skins tossed in pecorino; cracklings and more, all $2-$4.
EvaOctober 26, 2011Ask Liz the Sommelier to pair your dinner with Sicilian wines. Try the rabbit (if they have it on special) and the pici pasta.. Save room for dessert and fine coffee. Xxx
Tom WolfsteinMay 1, 2013I ordered the suckling pig and, after having 3 more people tase it, I'm sure it tastes like chicken. Fantastic chicken, but chicken. You should probably get it just to be amazed by its chickeness.
SFebruary 18, 2015Get: eggs cacio e pepe with a side of pancetta. Then get the ricotta pancakes. Counter culture coffee served here.
johanna marielMarch 27, 2017The pastas are amazing, you can't go wrong with any of them. One of my fave restaurants in NY.
Bitches Who BrunchSeptember 28, 2015The Bitches say A+. Maialino defines what incredible brunch means in New York City and offers the kind of food that you want to share with all of the special people in your life. Read more
HOBNOB MagazineJuly 1, 2012One of my favorite eat-at-the-bar spots. You will meet other foodies and enjoy excellent glasses of wine and fine, rustic Italian dishes.
Walk in right in, there's an espresso bar next to the bar where you could pick up coffee and a croissant for your kidney and your first born
Yonadav TsunaFebruary 10, 2011They have excellent coffee! Sit at the communal table/bar. Enjoy the view of the park. Extremely nice staff (servers and hostesses alike)!!!
Jackie NapalanJuly 2, 2017Classy yet rustic decor. If you are looking for a low carb option, get the brodetto.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 1, 2011The Roman Trattoria of the moment. Danny Meyer never ceases to amaze with stellar food and the best service standard in New York City. Peppered chicken on Arugula. So simple, so good.
Shih-ching TsouJuly 5, 2017Love the decor and the location, but the brunch is so little and the price is triple... we had to go get something else to eat after the brunch, we probably won't go back again.
CCnycMarch 12, 2017Pasta dishes are perfection. If you're a fan of pork/ an adventurous eater, try the pig face appetizer
Kinjil MathurAugust 15, 2014The bar is a beautiful brightly sunlit place to grab a post work drink. Rosé $5 happy hour special
Burak OruçSeptember 29, 2016Food is very good, however the rustic lemon tart is the best dessert ever!!!!
BenApril 8, 2015Some of the best Italian food in the city. Get the tasting menu and ask for suggestions for wine.
Tessa SpycherSeptember 1, 2013The best pancakes I've ever had. Also the bacon here is the way bacon should be.
Russell ZackJuly 19, 2015Exceptional Italian in a lively setting. Pasta and wine pairing was magnificent, albeit service very slow so be patient.
The ricotta pancakes are my favorite pancakes are a morning treat

"This is a great place to hang out. The changing artwork in the main lawn is fun to see as well. It's a good place to go with a book and relax for a while, and often gets some light breezes through."
