The food was delicious! Especially loved the prosciutto and arugula pizza. The gellato was extraordinary. Affordable and delicious, I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice group dinne
It's pretty hard to go wrong here, but the best are, Pizza: Quattro Formaggi, Pasta: Pasta alla Norma (roasted eggplant & dollop of creamy ricotta). Veg antipasti faves: lentils, beets & white beans
The food is fantastic and they have an impressive wine list. However, they have probably the worst service of any restaurant I've ever encountered. Decide which is more important and tip accordingly.
For amazing pastas, pizza with the freshest ingredients, and the world's creamiest gelato, you can't miss Mario Batlai's OTTO Enoteca Pizzeria in New York, NY. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
I like their thin crust pepperoni pizza ... What I really go here for is the Gelato (try the creme fraiche gelato). It was everything I expected and more!
Good spot for a first date. The food is good and cheap enough that someone can pick up the check. You can talk about Batali and if that fails it's loud, so awkward silences won't really be silent.
Sommelier Michael Madrigale (Bar Boulud/Boulud Sud) says "I love going to the bar at Otto and getting a chilled bottle of Kofererhof Kerner with the anchovies and bread crumbs antipasti.”
Brought a group of 14 and was offered 60pp for food and unlimited beer/wine. Couldn't have worked out more amazing. I can't imagine having been that well fed for a group that big for anything less.
Must get the olive-oil gelato with pomegranate seeds, orange sorbet and an anise-candy crunch! (Don't make the mistake of ordering just the regular olive-oil gelato.)
Love train board. Great wine. Brussel sprouts - flavor great but but overcooked. Goat cheese agnolotti was best dish. Truffle linguine was nothing special. Pizza is okay. Service was super slow.
Love the pepperoni and prosciutto and arugula pizza. there's something really smoky about the pepperoni meat. Crispy, crunch pizza entirely the way thru the crust. Amazing!

We anticipated the olive oil ice cream to be bland but were pleasantly surprised with its smooth texture and right amount of saltiness. Get caramel as your 2nd flavor for a new take on sweet and salty

It should surprise no one that this Mario Batali restaurant has some of the best salads, pastas and pizza in NYC. Even better: you can take home a cookbook and recreate your favorite dishes at home!

"Why be stuck indoors when you can be al fresco? A favorite to-go food option for a little “foncy fare” is Mario Batali’s Otto." - Simon Doonan, author Read more
It's so freaking loud in here! If you can sit up near the bar area it's not as bad but in the back they crank up the AC. Be prepared to be screaming and shivering. The food is good so there's that.
Good quality but the margherita pies have too much sauce and not enough cheese. We suggest you try a cheese plate, because the honey and cherry condiments are out of this world.
Designed to look like an Italian train station, OTTO (which means “eight” in Italian) is located on the corner of 8th Street and Fifth Avenue just steps from Washington Square Park. One of New York’s most celebrated pizzerias, OTTO combines the elegance of a Bolognese enoteca with the fun bustle ...
