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.
Tim JulienJune 13, 2014
The Cacio e Pepe is great. Super cheesy though - they literally toss it in a giant wheel of pecorino at the table
Kevin SetoJanuary 4, 2018
Obviously the pasta served from a cheese wheel is excellent, but don’t miss the branzino which is also a delicious dish.
Sasha ValleAugust 18, 2014
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.

Try the cacio e pepe pasta, a traditional roman dish that's e excellent here. Good appetizers and wines too.
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019
All the cheese! This is a super popular and Instagrammable spot for cheese wheel pasta. Food is tasty and filling.
Kate FurmanMarch 19, 2017
gotta get the cacio e pepe - served directly from the wheel of cheese! (oh and ask for extra cheese on top)
Carolyn ZentgrafNovember 6, 2013
Best pasta in Manhattan! Had the garden to ourselves for our annoversary, so the waitress did a photo shoot! Above & beyond.
Meg O'BrienMarch 8, 2011
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!
Donny DontJanuary 1, 2018
Meatballs, the namesake pasta dish, tiramisu, ripasso and limoncello. All AMAZING!
LuciaJuly 16, 2011
Beautiful, delicious menu. Seasonal, so it changes. Staff and food exceeded expectations, though the portions are a little on the small side.

Get the Cacio e Pepe, let's face it, what is better than pasta perfectly coated in cheese?!?

Really cute place. Good food. Decent prices. Can't go wrong.

Don't forget to bring cash!

The octopus appetizer is yummy
Michellee CAugust 18, 2016
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
Janos BraemJuly 22, 2016
Almost everthing is good, but the 'cacio e pepe' dish in the menu is served in a Large cheese bowl.
WinnieNovember 25, 2014
Delicious pasta! Very cozy and great for dates.
Tara DrakeNovember 18, 2012
Ridiculously delicious neighborhood Italian. The restaurant named dish is a must :)
Sys EMarch 25, 2012
They only take Amex! The namesake pasta is delicious, but you better be hungry...
Vic C.August 11, 2014
The signature dish is the best version I ever had
Hana SatoNovember 16, 2012
If you are thinking of getting the oxtail meatballs you ought to follow through with it!

The Spaghetti Carbonara is to die for. Great pasta in general, but skip the other mains.
Cindy HwangSeptember 17, 2013
The Cacio e Pepe is amaaaaazing. So full of flavor!
Shalea HarrisNovember 27, 2011
Most hospitable staff you'll ever meet! And order the pumpkin ravioli... You won't regret it

Don't miss out in the back garden seating! We almost missed it.

Absolutely incredible! Have never had a bad dish there. The namesake dish is a must!

Arrive hungry. Share the eggplant timballe to start, get the namesake dish (cacio e pepe) for your meal. YUM.

Pecorino & pepper pasta!

The pasta with romano and black peppercorn is the single greatest pasta dish I have ever had.
Orchid LiuApril 13, 2010
Try the veal appetizer and a bottle of the Sangiovese. Great value for an amazing wine.
