Emily LawJuly 6, 2014Best Italian I've had in a long time. Incredibly fresh/sweet tomatoes in the caprese. Would highly recommend the tortellini ragu and an order of their meatballs.
Assorted Baked Clams, Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Scarpariello, Polenta Torrisi (best ever), Funghi Trifolati all amazing! (skip the Crispy Rabe)- Chad HornerJuly 3, 2017ideal for a special occasion of any kind; make sure to get the veal parm and the spicy rigatoni vodka
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Reinvented classics soar, especially baked clams, rigatoni alla vodka, veal Parmesan, and chocolate layer cake. – Green Guide Editor
Will ArnoneJuly 6, 2013Sit in the back. Be sure to order the veal parmagiana despite the outrageous price. And avoid the chicken dishes. Save room for the lemon cheesecake. Overall a superb dining experience.
SolDecember 31, 2018Mozzarella (with the added flair) was special, everything else just seemed flat. Get better Italian elsewhere, without breaking the bank.
DanJanuary 26, 2020Homemade mozzarella, spicy rigatoni, meatballs, and veal parm are all excellent. A top Italian restaurant in the city
Jason BrewApril 15, 2016Traditional Italian restaurant that lives up to the hype. The linguini with clams was great and the meatballs are a must order
Sam PezzulloSeptember 27, 2013The kind of place you go to for the scene, and the ambiance, which is terrific. It's a total throwback. The food is good, but not great. Try the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka & the Caesar Salad alla ZZ.
AlexisAugust 6, 2013The pastas are off the hook, for two definitely order two!!!!! Finish your meal with amaro to get that warm fuzzy feeling...
Helen LinMarch 15, 2013Service here from the Torrisi duo is impeccable! Old Hollywood feel and cocktails will transport u. Every pasta perfectly cooked.
Erika DjerfJuly 14, 2016Let them order for you, they know the drill or order: carpaccio, meatballs, veal parm & spicy rigatoni
EvieApril 4, 2014Worth every pretty penny--the ribs, oxtail cavatelli, spicy rigatoni, and carrot cake are all standouts.
Cristian GonzalezAugust 9, 2014Try the amazing scampi and the rigatoni alla vodka. Incredible space - looks like a classic Italian gangster joint from a bygone era.
MarcMarch 8, 2013Tasting Table says: From the Torrisi and Parm guys... Expect the classics, done right: linguine and clams, veal Parmesan, chicken scarpariello and lobster fra diavolo.

Amy RobertsonMay 22, 2015I have no clue how they make the rigatoni so good. To boot it's a nice, classic, unpretentious atmosphere
Sam K TheoNovember 25, 2013The pricey ($54) veal parm is incredible, as are all the pastas, the meatballs, and the carrot cake. Great cocktail and wine list as well.
Michael AnthonySeptember 17, 2020Cliche but the spicy rigatoni is unbelievable. Tough to get a reservation but we’ll worth it.
Ronald CattrysseFebruary 27, 2017Everything they say is true. Perfect place to experience the old Italian-American vibe with excellent food.
Ilia POctober 24, 2015Everything is incredible--seafood tower, steak, mushrooms, pasta, squash. A totally unique experience. Well worth a visit.
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 28, 2017The hype is real. The vodka pasta, meatballs, carrot cake are all delightful.
ZoozJanuary 21, 2020Absolutely lovely ... So delicious and great for dates. I personally loved the Chicken Parm
Alexis MichalakisJuly 6, 2013The food was worth the prices-get the beef carpaccio, the Caesar salad (made tableside), veal parm, and potatoes dogana. Tiramisu is skippable.
Mike ShermanJuly 16, 2017The escarole may be the best thing on the menu. You wouldn't expect it, but trust me.
Jonathan Wagner Jr.September 1, 2017The lasagna here is too die for. Only make a certain # per night or weekend. I don't remember which but it's limited.
Jen MMarch 3, 2015The spicy rigatoni and veal parm is as good as everyone says! Also try the eggplant app. Great place.
Megan VarroneMarch 23, 2017Cesar salad, meatballs, spicy rigatoni, tortellini, veal Parmesan, Dover sole, artichoke hearts, carrot cake

Ashley RudolphJanuary 27, 2015Order family style and sample what the waiter recommends. The service is spectacular here. Awesome for groups.
RossFebruary 20, 2015Do not miss the veal parm, spicy rigatoni, or meatballs. Italian cooking at its finest.
Chris ChouJanuary 20, 2014Spicy rigatoni and veal parmigiana - believe the hype. Scallop appetizer was buttery fresh. Generous Four Top in the playlist.
Jarel HillJuly 27, 2022Spicy rigatoni/ tortellini were incredible. All Bread also amazing. Cheesecake phewww- Justine BloomeNovember 25, 2015Grab a glass of wine and ask for their mozzarella. I have no idea what they soak it in, but it's mind-blowing.

Jessica LeanneMay 31, 2016Fantastic restaurant!! Great service and amazing food. The mozzarella is to die for.
RJWDecember 9, 2017Honestly pretty overrated. We had 3 pastas (4 if you count the one we sent back). All well over-salted. Spicy rigatoni was pretty forgettable. Much better Italian food elsewhere (Pepolino, Lupa).
The New Yorker ManagerMay 20, 2013"The portions and the prices are as formidable as the pretense and the patter." The Caesar salad is "excellent," the garlic bread "good." Read more
Layla RafaelApril 22, 2014Octopus for appetizer and definitely the spicy rigatoni vodka. Chris Cobb is an amazing waiter!
New York PRDecember 22, 2018Get the tuna special appetizer. Also chicken parm ($40) is available if you request in advance.
ShahMay 17, 2015Everything here is incredible, but their mozzarella is probably the best cheese I've ever had.
Eliza ChangDecember 24, 2013"Yes, the prices are dizzying, but so are the portions, the quality of the ingredients and the sheer exuberance of the preparations." - Pete Wells, NYT

"Delicious Italian in a lively atmosphere, but the real stars of the show are the short ribs for 2, the porcetta sandwich and the Cacio e Pepe. They're totally worth the hype."
The Corcoran Group - 8.8
"Razor clams, Farro salad, and crispy sea bream. Talk to the sommelier about wine, they have a great selection!"
