Veronica UribeJanuary 22, 2017Pasta is great: cacio e pepe with lobster and the tagliatelle with pomodoro sauce. The place and service are great although the restaurant is a little pricey for what it offers
The Wall Street JournalApril 5, 2012Start with a cappuccino and croissant and then go for the smoked salmon frittata with goat cheese or the pappardelle with duck ragu, shaved chocolate and orange -- a dish that sounds odd but works. Read more
Madeline McDavidSeptember 18, 2016Love the design-minded decor, sky-high ceilings, gold chandeliers and bright yellow banquette. Delicious poached eggs with polenta and mushroom ragù, and yummy brioche with homemade jams for brunch.- AK FMarch 3, 2019WOW what a great dinner. We had roast duck, black truffle gnocchi, sunchokes, and octopus. Service was great and everything was delicious.
Come hungry because the 'cicchetti' Venetian style snacks are too die for. My dabs are the chicken liver crostini & the langostino fritto. Save room for the impeccable pastas!
Grace JMay 19, 2014Great for late lunch on the weekends with reasonable priced ($16-22) small meals. High ceilings and refreshing atmosphere for the museum wanderer. Try the pesto ravioli/classic meat ball spaghetti.
One of the best new restaurants on the upper west side. I love the selection of Italian wines and beer; and the pasta dishes are killer. Pappardella with duck ragu is a must.
Gary S.February 13, 2013Great restaurant, operated by Philly restaurant mogul Stephen Starr. Had a Caesar salad and pappardelle w/duck ragout - both excellent. Also great Italian-centric wine list.
Will ArnoneFebruary 16, 2013The meatballs are on every menu - brunch, lunch & dinner. - for a good reason: they are spectacular. And the gundi for brunch is amazing.
- Pop by Storico's pop-up Beer Hall for a cold one before or after your meal, part of the New-York Historical Society's Beer Here exhibit!
Joe JunterealApril 18, 2012Be sure to special order the Risotto alla Kristina. If you've been to Jim's place in place in Philly before he came to NY you'll know it's a must.
FrancescaApril 15, 2013The Italian toast was delicioso! Make sure to stroll in the museum afterwards to learn more about NYC history.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzNovember 27, 2014Really great restaurant inside a museum, superb pasta entrees
Village VoiceSeptember 11, 2012Don’t feel bad playing with your food at Caffe Storico - their whipped baccala is a fishy mash with grilled triangles and polenta that has to be scooped. # 41 on our 100 Dishes to Eat Now!
Tasting TableMay 2, 2012Make like a Venetian and compose your meal out of the excellent cicchetti on offer. Don't pass up the Baccalà (salt cod): Read more
Miguel LopezMarch 2, 2015Good fare, not heavy. Good Bloody Mary. It's not a hangover-curing brunch, though.
- The stinging nettle tortelli is delicious! You've got to try the salted dark chocolate ice cream!
Must try the Langostino Fritto! Can't miss any of Chef Jim Burke's pastas either!- The langostino dish is remarkable- but save room for the sublime pasta dishes!
- Ana ConcejeroMarch 29, 2012A hidden gem. Finally some quality food in the UWS!!!Shame they don't deliver!
