Italian-inspired breakfast options include cacio e pepe eggs, a white frittata with zucchini, and a mushroom and rapini patty with a sunnyside up egg. Read more

The contadino is two perfectly poached (soft) eggs with sauteed seasonal vegetables. Right now its corn cherry tomatoes and jalapeños. This is the perfect breakfast

Pastas are as authentically Roman as you can get! Cacio, Carbonara, Chitarra, etc. and anything with the roasted suckling pig/fish is a gift from heaven. Beets are beautiful and save room for dessert!

Pricey but everything we ate was delicious. Once you consider that it's a no tipping restaurant, it becomes less pricey. Loved the spicy tripe, the porchetta sandwich and the papardelle carbonara.

Danny Meyer's Italian restaurant right above Gramercy Park offers this simple pasta dish called tonnarelli cacio e pepe. It's always well seasoned and always made with love. Read more

Love Maialino, but think it's better for brunch or a cocktail than it is for dinner. Standout bring items include the cacio e Pepe eggs and the unbelievable sausage.
Chad HornerJanuary 11, 2016
a beautiful restaurant, perfect for bringing your parents. food-wise, the suckling pig is their signature dish, but it is a bit of a chore to eat. perhaps best to go for one of the delicious pastas!

The contadino is the way to go. Served on a bed of roasted corn, cherry tomatoes and jalapeños, this is one of the best egg dishes I've ever had. The patate and pomodori sides go great with this dish.

The breakfast at Maialono is great. Cappuccino is excellent and I alternate between the Contadino and the Currant Pecan Granola with Yogurt and Fruit

Danny Meyer's Roman trattoria is a thoughtful, comfortable place, where the service is pitch-perfect and the roast suckling pig has shatteringly crisp skin. Read more

What black magic has Danny Meyer performed to create a brunch this perfect? Order exactly this: pastry basket for the table, cacio e pepe with fat slabs of bacon for you, and an Aperol Spritz or four.

Roman cuisine with fresh ingredients. Sit at the bar for a view of Gramercy Park out the window. One bartender during weekday lunch means slower service, but it's Italian. Take your time.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014
The Malfatti al Maialino is the best; fluttery squares of egg pasta with arugula and a generous portion of braised suckling pig leg, brightened with a lemony sauce. Read more
Ashley ChanOctober 23, 2016
The perfect nice but not-too-fancy Italian restaurant. The pastas are solid & well-portioned. My surprise favorite was the Spaghetti Vongole- the clams were HUGE and juicy. The Malfatta is also great.

Late-Night Burger, $15 Nick Anderer’s Italian take (Gorgonzola, house-cured pancetta, escarole on rosemary brioche) is available only between 10:30 p.m. and midnight and only in the front barroom.
Wilson ZhouApril 12, 2016
Antipasti include delicate baby artichokes. Among the pastas that follow is an excellent spaghetti alla carbonara with egg yolks, guanciale and heaps of black pepper. Entrées, like Maialino, -TimeOut
Savannah PetrickJanuary 10, 2016
papardelle alla bolognese has a great flavor. I love the sauce on the malfatti but the suckling pig is a little too gamy for my liking. the bruschetta is great to share, as is the olive oil muffin.
Alexandre MunhozJuly 21, 2018
Great authentic Italian food. Elegant but not too formal. Serious wine list. Try the little pig, any fresh pasta. Try their private room where they serve family style meal (shared plates).
Brady HallSeptember 2, 2020
Lovely restaurant. Food-wise, their main dish is the suckling pig, but it is a bit of a chore. Maybe the best place to go for one of the delicious pasta! perfect for our parents and children.

Gluten-Free Pasta ---> Chef Nick Anderer's kitchen always has a few gluten-free pastas available (one of which is usually house-made) & can pair any of them w. whichever sauce you want.

The ingredients of the Late Night Burger counterbalance the luscious patty, made from a Pat LaFrieda mix of short rib, brisket and chuck and seared à la plancha. Read more
Eric SmithDecember 1, 2013
All of the pasta dishes I've had were perfect and the suckling pig specialty is truly delicious. Tender meat, crispy skin reminiscent of pork rinds. Yum! The late-night burgers rock as well! Go!!!
HolidayMay 11, 2017
Oh happy day, had the malfetti with gluten free pasta. They will do all pasta dishes gf. For gf peeps this is a big deal! Counter culture coffee available. Hospitality included. Fine experience.
Elizaveta T.September 4, 2016
Porchetta and poached eggs with prosciutto cotto for Italy-maniacs; caccio e pepe for mac&cheese lovers. Pancakes are to die for.
Rosamaria P.September 1, 2014
Quarto quinto is a must. Their prosciutto covered sweetbreads are amazing. Crackling pig and malfatti also a win. Can't go wrong with this place.
Theresa RoldanJanuary 8, 2017
Cheese and meat plates were awesome. Good wine selection. I had the lobster pasta as an entree, and it was amazing!!!
Justine BloomeNovember 25, 2015
Peer through the gates of the "residents only" gated Gramercy Park and then stop in here for delicious breakfast selections. Take a look through the adjoining hotel lobby and pretend you can afford it
Joey JApril 6, 2015
Tomahawk Ribeye and the Baked Sea Bass with polenta were beautifully cooked. The Pappardelle with Ragu Short Rib was very tasty too. Great restaurant in the Gramercy Hotel.

This is one of the most outstanding places to drink and taste new wines in all of Manhattan. The Sommeliers are insightful and approachable. One of my favorites!
Chris MessinaSeptember 24, 2013
What to Order: The cold-brew coffee is made fresh daily, but a classic Italian Shakerado is also a good bet: Espresso and raw simple syrup are shaken over ice and garnished with an orange slice.
Cali ZimmermanNovember 23, 2014
There's nothing to complain about here. Brunch is fabulous. Coffee, pastries, porchetta sandwich. All A+. Sizable portions and attentive service. The bread basket is an essential starter
Lori LuoAugust 11, 2014
Maialino serves a quality weekend brunch, where their poached eggs are just as tempting as the Cacio e Pepe pasta. Make reservations in advance as it gets busy.
DNovember 30, 2014
One of the best restaurants in NYC. Impeccable wine, food, and service. Order the garganelli and scottadita and a nice Barolo.
Marc CohenMarch 24, 2017
The carbonera is famous. Very good Italian wine and apertife selection. A little overpriced for the presentation but still a very solid experience.
Liggy S.October 17, 2015
This is the most delicious breakfast I have had in a while. I ordered the scrambled eggs with pecorino and they were a dream. I love everything about this place.
Jackie SiegelFebruary 24, 2013
Fried artichokes, spaghetti carbonara, pasta with suckling pig and must end with the flourless chocolate cake with buttermilk gelato. Also, the service is some of the best in the neighborhood
Trae FMarch 24, 2016
Everything is amazingly delicious here. Get the prosciutto and mozzarella to start. One of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in quite a long time.

The flavors are traditional Roman at Danny Meyer’s latest, with standout versions of bucatini all’Amatriciana and trippa alla Trasteverina. Featured in Where to Eat 2011! Read more
JD MaloneOctober 6, 2014
An Italian place for breakfast can seem a bit odd but trust me this place is wonderful. The poached eggs are perfectly done and of course finish a dessert!
Cristian GonzalezAugust 9, 2014
Great Italian spot overlooking Gramercy Park with a good ambience. Great for brunch with friends or a dinner over a bowl of pasta. Great bar area too.
Eric TashJune 24, 2015
Best NYC meal I've ever had. Hands down. The service is impeccable and the attention to detail is envious. The food was so savory I wanted thirds.

Listen up, I'm going to be as straight up as I can. Have the Bombolotti alla Gricia. It will REDEFINE your concept of how great a dish can be made with such simple ingredients.
F-Factor NutritionOctober 17, 2012
Being one of Danny Meyer's several restaurants in the city, you can be sure to get great food and amazing service. It's casual for an upscale restaurant so you get quality food without all the fuss.
Lee HoffmanDecember 20, 2015
The pastas are amazing - particularly the pesto one. The chicken cutlet is good but get it without the sauce (mushrooms)
Ben DruckerSeptember 9, 2014
Really amazing spot for dinner. Waiter was super helpful and the food was all interesting and we'll prepared. They'll do a lot of their pasta gluten free.

Grub Street off-menu dish: Gluten-Free Pasta. "Chef Nick Anderer's kitchen always has a few gluten-free pastas available and can pair any of them with whatever sauces their customers might want."
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014
For pastas, try the ultra-simple tonnarelli cacio e pepe: square-edged spaghetti with copious grindings of black pepper and Pecorino. Read more
GothamistAugust 1, 2014
The house Malfatti ai Maialino is disastrously decadent, with thick pasta ribbons weaving around shredded roast suckling pig and fresh arugula, flavored with a hint of lemon juice. Read more
SuperbJune 26, 2012
A cozy (though actually quite spacious) spot for brunch. Try their soft-scrambled eggs with pecorino and black pepper! (Tip: Check out the bathroom in the hotel lobby. Very cool.)
Chad HornerFebruary 20, 2016
the ricotta pancakes are *incredibly* moist, almost gooey. the kumquats add a strong fruity contrast to the butteriness of the pancake
