so many excellent pastas, perhaps the best course of action is the pasta tasting menu (only $49!). pictured are the bucatini all'amatriciana and pork belly tortelloni; delicious

Mario Batali's take on Italian classics with surprisingly good prices and excellent service. Go on Tuesday and get the duck special. Amazing! You'll come back for more.

Everything is delicious and well prepared but the sweet potato angolotti is a truffle lover's dream. The service for private parties is excellent. They were highly attentive.

Upscale italian flare. The spaghetti carbonara is the best we’ve ever had and could give Italy a real competition, with perfectly creamy sauce and well-rendered pancetta.

Cozy place for a light, romantic candlelit dinner. Save some room for the delicious s’mores gelato. They have a pasta tasting menu that comes with wine pairings and is good if you’re famished.
Victor LowJuly 26, 2017
Umm, this place is so freaking delicious. Roman-style Italian food, great wine list, excellent service. Get the Summer Melon "Panzanella" while its available. Oxtail Ravioli & Spaghetti con Pomodoro!

Batali-Bastianich's Italian trattoria is always busy, so make reservations in advance. The well-executed pastas, such as the spaghetti pomodoro, and plates (the pork belly!) are well worth the hassle.

#FabuLIST #DubiDO tasting menu is perfect for those that can't decide on just one pasta dish. Come hungry because the portions are huge. My fav were spaghetti carbonara and bucatini amatriciana
Laura GinsbergMarch 4, 2019
We ordered the Bucatini All’Amatriciana and Bavette Cacio e Pepe, both of which were simple, flavorful, and delicious. Our waiter recommended the Cirò Rosso Classico Suoeriore, which we also loved.

The food is delicious, of course, and the wine too. It's a bustling little spot and best for a party of 3 or 4. If you're only 2, then you risk being sat with another group of 2.
KarenJuly 23, 2023
The food, from appetizers, to entrees, to sides, to desserts, are all stellar. The service is also excellent. Smart dress is better. Casual okay, but you'll stick out.

Delicious pastas. Great wine list. Very cute place with an authentic feel.

For antipasti-Carciofi Alla Giudia or lingua and teste from the meat tray. Ricotta gnocchi was amazing as was the bucatini all'americana. Sunday braciola was very soft and tender. For dessert tartufo

Cozy Italian restaurant with homemade pastas and full body vinos. The orecchiette was some of the best I've had yet and the calamari was light and fresh with cucumbers and cantaloupe! 👌🏼
Hannah HanNovember 19, 2014
Finally tried this place on a Thurs 10pm. A candle lit/dim ambiance was good. Warm prosciutto salad/ cacio e pepe/ carbonara were all very simple but flavorful. Tartufo was very rich/ hazelnut-y!!
Akshay GDecember 7, 2019
Some of the best burrata in the city. Cacio e pepe or the mushroom papardelle is a must. They are happy to split pastas between 2 as well.
Michelle WilesApril 26
Bread plate is fab, the spicy black pasta is a must, and the kale Caesar (not really a Caesar - grapefruit?) is also pretty good
Paige CMay 9, 2018
Wonderful food, drinks and service! Their pastas are phenomenal. So is the prosciutto.
SelenFebruary 7, 2019
We tried casarecce with short rib ragu and bucatini all’amatriciana here, both were very good.
Chloe HNovember 3, 2015
Get the charred baby octopus, homemade garganelli, the bucatini all'Amatriciana and the lamb scottadito with a great bottle of wine.
Nicolette RomeroDecember 5, 2014
Do the Roman tasting menu and split a bottle of wine. Each pasta was delicious. The ravioli randomly stood out. You will leave stuffed!!
Newell McNairOctober 28, 2016
The space is a bit dense with tables, but surprised not too noisy. Excellent food. Linguine with shrimp and mussels is delicious!
Michael Fox-RabinovitzApril 12, 2015
Absolutely phenomenal pasta, if you are really really hungry get the 5 pasta sampler, delicious, and lemon sorbet to end.

All about the pasta here. Skip the entrees. Go with the garganelli, and have a glass of Barolo. Get the tripe if they have it. Lots of wines from Bastianch. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

They offer a pasta TASTING menu. The gnocchi is soooo creamy - a must.

Get the pasta tasting! Spaghetti Carbonara and Ricotta Gnocchi are amazingly good!
Sam WinnickMay 6, 2015
The salad and pastas are amazing but the manager is the rudest person ever. Cacio e Pepe is fantastic.
Jeff SolomonJanuary 18, 2020
Great spot. Try the oxtail, charcuterie board, burrata cheese, Brussel sprouts, rigatoni Bolognese
New York HabitatOctober 28, 2011
Another Mario Batali restaurant, Lupa is a nice casual place with classic Italian dishes and a nice atmosphere. Try one of their pastas, we recommend the Ricotta Gnocchi.
Angel MartinezOctober 20, 2013
This is one of Mario Batali's restaurants in NYC. The Spaghetti All'Amatriciana is delicious & so is the Ricotta Gnochi with Sausage and Fennel.
Halstead PropertyDecember 14, 2011
They have a great white wine selection which we recommend pairing with their bavette cacao and pepe entrée. The formaggi cheese is just potent enough and not at all overwhelming
Roula HannaSeptember 5, 2015
Visit part of the Walks of NY tour. You must try their ricotta gnocchi with salami sauce. It's delicious
Mario ChapelaJune 28, 2018
Great food, a little noisy; great service; the cacio e pepe and the porchetta were awesome
RTWgirl ArnetteNovember 12, 2014
The gnocchi is made here with ricotta rather than typical potato so makes for a creamier dreamier version!!
Henrik OscarssonJuly 10, 2013
If you' re looking for good italian food, this is the place. Cozy environment, excellent food! But make sure you book a table, the place gets crowded.
Sharon TsaoJune 17, 2016
The food was really good -- impressed by the selection, quality, and the wine pairing. I was disappointed by the dessert though.

Lupa, Mario Batali's casual, Roman-style trattoria serves classics dishes like, Cacio e Pepe. Specialty Dishes include Prosciutto Di Parma and Pollo Alla Diavola. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more

Vibrant atmosphere and truly satisfying pastas. Lots of vegetarian options but the cacio e pepe stands out.
Examiner.comMarch 24, 2011
The only thing you'll want after this delicious Italian food is its most popular desert. Lupa's tartufo is a baseball sized chocolate orb that comes beautifully decorated with nuts and chocate sauce. Read more

Had the spinach salad with apple and crispy speck: tasty. Nice service, however, had to ask for seasoning like salt and balsamic because they weren't on the table, and then waited for 5 more minutes
MarthaMarch 7, 2015
I don't love this place. always packed and service is rushed and sort of disinterested. food is tasty though, so if the other parts don't bother you, you may enjoy.
N AvedisOctober 8, 2018
I loved this place both for their drinks, food and dessert. Pastas are amazing.
EaterSeptember 18, 2010
Mario Batali's osteria maybe be his best effort in New York; it's certainly his most relaxed and consistent. The cacio e pepe is world class. [Eater 38 Member] Read more
Marisa TomAugust 15, 2011
One of my all-time favorite Italian restos in NYC. Everything is good here. Try the seasonal dishes and of course, la saltimbocca.
JoyJuly 7, 2011
Late night Roman menu (3 course prix fixe menu offered after 10pm--you have to ask for it) is a total steal after a long day exploring New York. Busy place, so just reserve online.

Been here many times before & had loved it but this time was definitely not what it used to be. Porchetta was way way overcooked & the carbonara which as previously the best I’ve had was just meh.
Jenny DomiziAugust 28, 2013
Lupa is a great spot for Italian food! We ordered pasta and it was great. Reservation is a must!
Jessica ANovember 7, 2014
My love for Italian started here. I still dream of their ragu. It's inspired a trend to try ragu everywhere I go, nothing has come close.
Sarah DrydenAugust 22, 2017
Lovely ambience, cozy pastas. Get the tagliatelle; the amitriciana was very salty.
Thompson HotelsMay 24, 2011
Our concierge William at Smyth says that the Braised Oxtail with Gnocchi alla Romana is sublime. Also the Spaghetti alla Carbonara is the best in the city.
