    The Cacio e Pepe comes served in a WHEEL OF CHEESE! This place will inspire you to want to cook this at home. Super simple, super delicious.

    Service, food, atmosphere... everything - impeccable! Michelin recommended for a reason. Cacio e Pepe pasta is out of this world, just like in Rome. So is duck ragu pasta & burrata appetizer. 5 stars

    You can tell pasta is fresh but nothing is amazing. Cacio e Pepe is presented in a cheese wheel and looks amazing but is too salty. Eggplant appetizer is good. Duck ragu pasta is good too.

    This unassuming neighborhood gem does its namesake dish stunningly, and hides a beautiful garden to enjoy it in. The prices reflect their higher quality of dishes.

    Nice, homey atmosphere with tight quarters. Order the ... cacio e pepe, of course. The number of excellent neighborhood pasta joints in NYC always amazes me.

    The cacio e pepe is amazing! It comes in a wheel of pecorino.

    The Cacio e Pepe is great. Super cheesy though - they literally toss it in a giant wheel of pecorino at the table

    Obviously the pasta served from a cheese wheel is excellent, but don’t miss the branzino which is also a delicious dish.

    The cacio e pepe is not to be missed, but the fettuccine limone doesn't fall behind. Best enjoyed in the garden, of course.

    Great food, especially the namesake. The problem is that they only take cash or Amex. Who accepts cards but only Amex?? 👎🏾 There is an ATM in the back but it didn't work for my date.

    gotta get the cacio e pepe - served directly from the wheel of cheese! (oh and ask for extra cheese on top)

    Best pasta in Manhattan! Had the garden to ourselves for our annoversary, so the waitress did a photo shoot! Above & beyond.

    The meatballs are incredible. Someone should order the buccatini all'ametriciana. Apart from the cacio e pepe dish, it is the best thing on the menu. In the summer, eat in the back garden!

    Beautiful, delicious menu. Seasonal, so it changes. Staff and food exceeded expectations, though the portions are a little on the small side.

    Doesn't do its namesake justice. Only saving grace of the lackluster flavor of cacio e Pepe is it being cooked in a wheel of cheese. The fettuccine was confused cuz it had too many flavors going on

    Almost everthing is good, but the 'cacio e pepe' dish in the menu is served in a Large cheese bowl.

    The Spaghetti Carbonara is to die for. Great pasta in general, but skip the other mains.
