Time Out New YorkAugust 5, 2014Try the namesake steak—Italian for “rib eye”—at Costata chophouse. Aged for 60 days, the tomahawk rib is forged in the raging fire of a 1,900-degree broiler. It’s one of our best 100 dishes of 2013 Read more
New York PostAugust 25, 2014Ribeye is dramatically presented with a prehistoric-looking bone and rosemary sprigs for an “Italian” touch. Start with White’s marvelous minced razor clam crudo ($21). Read more
- New York PostAugust 25, 2014Lobster al forno ($46) was an oreganata-style masterpiece. Insalata verde ($15) brought romaine-like, little gem lettuce to life with pitch-perfect lemon-mustard vinaigrette. Read more
- Brad GaroonJune 10, 2015The Costata Burger has a dry-aged beef blend w/ bacon marmalade & cheese. Though height made it fall apart on me, the flavor was excellent. The dry-aged meat knocked my socks off. Read more
Ersin SezmisJune 10, 2015Amazing food, great service, great location. They also have a good wine selection. You can only have this good Italian food in a really good restaurant in Italy. Very impressive.
Jack NobleAugust 10, 2014Michael White's slant on the steak house is fantastic. Terrific steak without the hassle of dealing with the midtown business steakhouse scene. Get the ribeye and don't forget an afogato for dessert.
Claire J SongMarch 25, 2015The namesake costata is a massive portion of aged rib eye for two, and duos can also order porterhouse and bone-in strip cuts. And filet fans should consider the menu's butcher block option,
Sach TakayasuSeptember 22, 2013Costata ribeye for two = perfection. Flavorful, perfect char, slightly smoky aroma. Farotto w/bone marrow! Garganelli alla famma! Crostatina = dessert. Royal blush cocktail. My kinda happy meal!
ErinJune 19, 2013Loved the scallop crudo, pastas (rigatoni & cavatelli), and the artichokes. NY Strip was excellent, especially with the side of truffle butter. Bartender prep of my Manhattan was incredible
Melanie EismanOctober 2, 2013Unfuckingbelievable MUST GET-Fluke&razor clam crudo,cacio e pepe (top 5) lobster amatriciana, rigatoni,garganelli,casarecci al nero&costata-eat the damn bone,don't look back. roll me to soulcycle tmrw
Brook ShelleyAugust 7, 2015Steak for two is fantastic. Add in some oysters and cocktails and it's a rich and delightful meal.
Serious EatsAugust 2, 2013Michael White's fifth New York restaurant, spread over three stories in Soho, is one part Italian, one part steakhouse, pasta and crudo alongside steaks and chops.
SparkieJanuary 20, 2014Costata means “ribeye” in Italian. Colorado lamb chops (all dry-aged for 28 days or more), pan-roasted swordfish, prosciutto-and-truffle garganelli and more than 500 wines.
Lindsey KimJanuary 4, 2015Get any of the pastas and steaks. Finish with ice wine for dessert. Superb service 👌
Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013Just a few months old, people are starting to rave about the Tomahawk Rib-eye. Crisp on the outside is followed by a buttery and rare cooked inside that will convert any lifelong medium-well devotee.
Gabriela NevesSeptember 22, 2013Pricey but amazing bass and steak. Get a side pasta dish. And the chocolate pistachio dessert was the beSt.
Jess LauOctober 11, 2013Go big or go home. Tomahawk rib eye. Go for it. Hen of the woods and carrots as sides. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Ricky GilbertJune 12, 2013Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Costata ribeye for 2 was amazing.
PersephoneAugust 13, 2014The famous tomahawk ribeye...dinner for two and a bone for the best doggie bag ever.
Claudia ColonnaMay 10, 2015Great filet mignon. Not a fan of the menu overall and the waiter couldn't explain any items on the menu. Eeessshh for an 'upscale' restaurant
Garry TanNovember 19, 2015Get the tomahawk steak. Uni pasta is superb as well. Killer Manhattans too.
Daisy LAugust 26, 2013The fried bone marrow salad and tomahawk steak are winners. Save room the hazelnut tart and semifreddo!
Jen KJuly 9, 2013Costata (tomahawk ribeye) disappointing but pastas delicious and worth repeat visits. Romaine cacio & pepe another highlight.
Will ArnoneFebruary 26, 2015Steak, steak, steak. And one of the largest Amaro liqueur selections in NYC.
Andy AmendolaOctober 5, 2013Cavatelli is not that good. That's right I said it. Garganelli is where it's at. And the filet is damn good if you want to do the solo steak thing.
@JaumePrimeroJune 20, 2013Two words: PJ Calapa. Talent personified and the chef at Costata. You can follow him on Twitter @texchef.
Richard GuestMay 18, 2013Amazing! Try the Amberjack crudo, agnolotti, ribeye, & crispy red potatoes.
CJNMay 24, 2013Beef filet was extraordinary. Some post launch kinks (why the 90s alt rock soundtrack?) but I'm sure they will work it out.
Cade WallaceDecember 2, 2013NY Strip was excellent, most appetizers and sides were decent but nothing to write home about. worth the steak, though.
Robert StevensonSeptember 3, 2013Get the tomahawk rib-eye for two, pass on the sides and deserts, they are too small, too expensive and non-distintive.
AmateurConciergeNovember 24, 2015Unworthy of Michael White's name: the space is uninspired and the food is mediocre. Artichoke side was decent. Burger too.
Henry BodmerSeptember 14, 2013Worst new restaurant opening!!! Terrible food!!! Check my checkins and you will see I know what I'm talking about... Rarely in NYC nothing is good on a menu!!! Costata made the impossible possible
christopher dalySeptember 7, 2013Sorry. Service was lackluster and food wad adequate, but soulless. Just lazy.

"By far, the DKA is better than the Cronut! It's actually the best DKA I've ever eaten in the US! Skip the Cronut line, by getting a Cronut Pass, or coming here outside of work days."
