The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015
The roasted chicken is the best chicken in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition." Read more

I know everyone talks about the chicken but not going to lie, the goat was much better! Also enjoyed the cauliflower salad and meatball.

The crispy chicken here, marinated in olive oil then split and roasted in Barbuto's brick oven, is classic Waxman simplicity. One of our picks for the city's best roast chicken! Read more

Great spot for Brunch in West Village not overly crowded at noon. Best item on the menu uovo al forno - baked eggs with polenta, creamed spinach, and Parmesan.
Marie PorrasJuly 28, 2015
Nice terrasse, friendly staff, really good food (any starters and the potatoes are my fav), over priced not that great wine. Overall nice experience.
Martin GattiSeptember 24, 2017
Honestly... the chicken was dry, not organic look. Don't know why people say is the best. You need an extra side of oil to swallow it. Very good kale salad. Carbonara bucatini was very peppered.

the roasted chicken and the gnocchi are to die for, have olives and rocca salad for starters and enjoy the mixture of flavors

This colorful, slicked-up car park turned fashionista hangout offers a prime view of the West Village people-watching scene and Italian cucina. Eating seasonal food in a garage was never so much fun.
Adam RauscherApril 24, 2013
The Pollo al Forno is one of the greatest dishes I have ever eaten in my entire life. And it's just roast chicken.
Mike SingletonJune 16, 2013
While eating the chicken, make sure to save some room for the mint chocolate chip ice cream

The pizza uvovo is amazing. But if pizza ain't ur thang, get the roasted chicken. Probably the best dish on the menu.
Jessica HanDecember 30, 2015
Relaxed, classy evening with good friends! Jonathan Waxman spent the night visiting various tables, making this a great neighborhood spot.
Jennifer MaApril 5, 2014
Pro-tip: get the side of potatoes with rosemary and pecorino. If you needed more convincing, they're DEEP FRIED.
Ariel JJuly 26, 2012
Amazing! Gnocchi, Bucatini w tomato onion & pancetta, Wild Striped Bass in Gazpacho, Skirt steak - yum yum yum. Desserts - even better; order one of everything - seriously.
Jeff MelnykJanuary 8, 2015
Exceptional!! The gnocchi with lamb sausage blew me away. So light and delicious. And the blood orange salad was perfection.

If your table doesn't get at least one order of Waxman's amazing half chicken you have just made a BIG mistake
AmateurConciergeSeptember 17, 2014
Seasonal menu makes it tough to tip but the calamari is great and more like a shrimp Caesar than a fritto. The spicy tequila drink was a miss

Have the fumo del mare while at the bar waiting for your table, the pollo al forno & potatoes for your meal, and the italian pudding for dessert. Can't go wrong!
Keira AlexanderMarch 4, 2016
Gnocchi is a winner, the bruschetta another highlight and the bartender makes a great martini. One winter time tip--don't sit too close to windows, they're drafty!
Rachel PortMarch 9, 2019
All of the pasta!! We got the squash gnocchi and mushroom cavatelli.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Jonathan Waxman's roast chicken is well portioned for two. Share it, and start off with the duck liver bruschetta or one of their pastas.
Liesbeth VMarch 21, 2016
Trendy interior. Here you get great food as well, the mussels and the brick oven chicken are delicious
Mike NickersonApril 12, 2016
If you don't get the roast chicken, you're doing it wrong. Huge portion sizes and lively atmosphere. West Village fav.

Potatoes are to die for and gnocchi is always amazing. Great place to sit outside in the summer with the doors open.
LindsSeptember 18, 2016
The gnocchi is always a great choice, no matter how it's prepared (always seasonal).
Jesse LaneSeptember 12, 2018
The cheese plate was great (in particular the bleu) as was the calamari salad. Pastas were good, but not amazing.

Bruschetta appetizer and Squash gnocchi were both delicious. And it was open and empty during the big storm! Points!
Kiwi WangAugust 23, 2017
Food is consistently a knock out but staff and service just as consistently underwhelming. Friendly, just... spacey and inattentive. Still worth the visit, just something to keep in mind :)

Get the chicken - it's juicy and so delicious every time! The ragu and brussels sprouts are must haves if they are on the menu as well.
Sam PezzulloSeptember 4, 2013
Great location, cool outdoor/indoor atmosphere, and good food. Try the steak and arugula salad for lunch. Simple and delicious.
Andrea WolinetzFebruary 10, 2013
Everyone knows how perfect Waxman's chicken is, but if you come here for brunch the Uovo al Forno is a must order. It's simply delicious!
Aileen TseDecember 28, 2012
best roasted chicken I've ever had. perfectly spiced with herbs. juicy meat and crispy skin!
Gianna NebbiaAugust 1, 2018
They have perfected simple Italian food. A truly outstanding and unforgettable meal from start to finish
Lenny GalloOctober 26, 2016
They really do have one of the best roasted chickens in NYC. Also, don't forget the potatoes—they are crack.
Anthony RotontoJuly 12, 2012
If you don't get the gnocchi then shame on you for 6 months. I'm an italian and gnocchi snob and that was the best I ever had. Seriously!!!!
Athena ChenAugust 26, 2013
Amazing as usual...atmosphere, wine, food, service, and clientele never disappoints.
Maya ShanmugamNovember 26, 2016
Kale salad, Brussel sprout salad, chicken + pasta carbonara = food baby heaven.
Amy LanOctober 4, 2010
Delicious eggplant topped bruschetta. The seasonal gnocchi is great. So is he sweetbread appetizer. Try the hazelnut chocolate chip ice cream sundae for dessert. The food is heavy but very satisfying
Sarah NelsonMarch 2, 2012
Favorite. Garage doors- open in summer. Roast chicken, pastas, desserts- every dish, every time has been perfection. All hail Waxman!
Gabi CarlosMarch 12, 2017
Kale salad and gnocchi was amazing. Also the off-menu carbonara, although I prefer mine a little creamier
Bryan UJune 26, 2017
The appetizers were delicious, wine selection was nice. The steak and chicken plates left a lot to be desired. Definitely expected a better meal considering how highly the waiter spoke of the food.
Marleine PacilioMarch 28, 2015
Best carbonara I've ever had. Peppery and light. Also, incredibly tender gnocchi. Can't go wrong here.
Eric WilkenfeldMay 22, 2013
The chicken is fantastic and lives up to the hype--but the pastas (especially the Ragu) are underrated and delicious.
Penni BonaldiMarch 26, 2012
...chicken... chicken... chicken... love the staff...and ask Fabian for the best wines... if I had a restaurant it would be Barbuto...
Rachel InksterDecember 8, 2013
Fun & relaxing atmosphere! Great food & wine. The pollo al forno was absolutely delicious. Def coming back for more....
Grace LeeJune 9, 2016
The meatball starter was delicious (so many flavors!) and the signature chicken does live up to the hype. Pasta was good but a little too salty.
Georgia LuddeckeDecember 3, 2017
Some of the best gnocchi I’ve ever had, and our bartender was cool af. Would definitely go back.
Jason QuarisaNovember 2, 2017
Pollo is outstanding! Best chicken I have ever had. Big portions. Be sure to order sides.
Sherie SwerdlowAugust 10, 2015
We loved the Kale salad. Of course the chicken is the star.
Jen ShinAugust 29, 2015
