Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Reinvented classics soar, especially baked clams, rigatoni alla vodka, veal Parmesan, and chocolate layer cake. – Green Guide Editor
This place is amazing and magical. Period. Ingenious. Love it. A throwback to the 50's done right, with stunning modern touches. A magical night awaits. - the foodie magician xoxo
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.
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.
Assorted Baked Clams, Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Scarpariello, Polenta Torrisi (best ever), Funghi Trifolati all amazing! (skip the Crispy Rabe)
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.
hania albraikanMay 23, 2016One of the best Italian resturant in NYC ❤️❤️😋😋 best pasta ever and the veal parmagiano😋😋
DanJanuary 26, 2020Homemade mozzarella, spicy rigatoni, meatballs, and veal parm are all excellent. A top Italian restaurant in the city
Erika DjerfJuly 14, 2016Let them order for you, they know the drill or order: carpaccio, meatballs, veal parm & spicy rigatoni
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.
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.
Seafood salad, Caesar salad , baked claims, cold antipasti , veal parm , chicken scarp , rigatoni alla vodka , linguini in clams , veal with peppers and everything else
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.
Ilia POctober 24, 2015Everything is incredible--seafood tower, steak, mushrooms, pasta, squash. A totally unique experience. Well worth a visit.
- Wow! Lives up to HIGH expectations. Favs were spicy rigatoni (obvi) and lobster fra Diavlo. And be prepared to be serviced like royalty and pay for it!! 🍝🍷
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
RossFebruary 20, 2015Do not miss the veal parm, spicy rigatoni, or meatballs. Italian cooking at its finest.
Ronald CattrysseFebruary 27, 2017Everything they say is true. Perfect place to experience the old Italian-American vibe with excellent food.
Mike ShermanJuly 16, 2017The escarole may be the best thing on the menu. You wouldn't expect it, but trust me.- Brad LDecember 20, 2013"Best new addition 2013" according to Bloomberg restaurant critic Ryan Sutton, who recommends the Spicy rigatoni alla vodka.
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.
Amy RobertsonMay 22, 2015I have no clue how they make the rigatoni so good. To boot it's a nice, classic, unpretentious atmosphere
Ashley RudolphJanuary 27, 2015Order family style and sample what the waiter recommends. The service is spectacular here. Awesome for groups.
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
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 28, 2017The hype is real. The vodka pasta, meatballs, carrot cake are all delightful.

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).
New York PRDecember 22, 2018Get the tuna special appetizer. Also chicken parm ($40) is available if you request in advance.
Megan VarroneMarch 23, 2017Cesar salad, meatballs, spicy rigatoni, tortellini, veal Parmesan, Dover sole, artichoke hearts, carrot cake
Jen MMarch 3, 2015The spicy rigatoni and veal parm is as good as everyone says! Also try the eggplant app. Great place.- 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.
YazJanuary 21, 2020Absolutely lovely ... So delicious and great for dates. I personally loved the Chicken Parm
Chris ChouJanuary 20, 2014Spicy rigatoni and veal parmigiana - believe the hype. Scallop appetizer was buttery fresh. Generous Four Top in the playlist.
Jessica LeanneMay 31, 2016Fantastic restaurant!! Great service and amazing food. The mozzarella is to die for.
Jarel HillJuly 27, 2022Spicy rigatoni/ tortellini were incredible. All Bread also amazing. Cheesecake phewww
Layla RafaelApril 22, 2014Octopus for appetizer and definitely the spicy rigatoni vodka. Chris Cobb is an amazing waiter!
SolDecember 31, 2018Mozzarella (with the added flair) was special, everything else just seemed flat. Get better Italian elsewhere, without breaking the bank.
AmateurConciergeMarch 29, 2015The tortellini is a sleeper! Maybe the best item out of the pasta category
ShahMay 17, 2015Everything here is incredible, but their mozzarella is probably the best cheese I've ever had.
