    Texture of the pasta noodle is so good but there were just few menu of pastas could choose.

    Try the Stromboli Bread - From the complimentary bread basket. So good it deserves its own shot.

    It's a no brainier: duck ravioli or short rib & bone marrow agnolotti. One of my favorite restaurants in NYC

    Short rib and bone marrow agnolotti. Don't ask. Just do it. Not to mention that house made Stromboli that is in every basket of bread.

    The mozzarella in carrozza is a great starter. And the spaghetti with tomato sauce will keep you coming back again and again.

    Hands down for the polenta. The scallops were also nice. Don’t waist money with the crudos, though.

    Always consistent. A bit sceney with an all ages crowd. The tuna-truffle app and the short rib are favorites.

    The chocolate cake is like yin and yang. Warm, rich chocolate cake, lightly crumbly outside but intensely soft and moist at the center, paired with cold, creamy vanilla ice cream. It's perfect.

    Four gras ravioli is the best Italian dish I've had in NYC after living here for five years. Get it. That is all.

    Service was horrible. The polenta is great but the once amazing simple 4 ingredients spaghetti is just not as fresh now.

    Scott Conant and I have often worked together for Citymeals-on-Wheels. His spaghetti with tomato and basil is simple and wonderful.

    Spaghetti and desserts were great, but not everything blew our minds. Somewhere between the heart and the flat face.

    Great food, and perfectly cooked pasta. The duck & foie gras ravioli, as well as the spaghetti, are dishes you shouldn't miss. - Kellie, Community Manager

    Not what it used to be. The service is careless as ever, and the spaghetti and polenta that used to carry the menu have lost their charm. Avoid.

    if you want really fast service, get there at 10:30 on a sunday with a party of 11 after spending 6 hours at the standard biergarten. everything came out really fast!

    The short ribs were the best I've ever had. Seriously, they melted when I touched them with the fork. The spaghetti with basil and tomatoes is AMAZING. The Nero d'arola 2008 (approx. $40) pairs well.

    Ask for the vegetarian menu: sharing the tagliatelle and of course the spaghetti will make you feel like Lady and the Tramp.

    Warning: entire table must order from the Restaurant Week menu or no one can. One of our party of 5 didn't want the offered pasta so the other 4 of us had to pay full menu price. Unwelcome surprise.

    All the hype of scarpetta revolves around their spaghetti, which is very good. However their polenta is great and shouldn't be missed.

    Simplest is often tastiest. Spaghetti with tomato and basil was very sophisticated taste that doesn't need to shout loud.

    Say hi to George- let him pick you out some crazy wines. Get a bunch of pastas. The spaghetti is as good as you've heard. I love the farfalle with sweetbreads. The chocolate cake is simple, but ridic.

    The Capretto lives up to its billing as a trip-worthy dish alone. We were also impressed with one of the most unique wine lists in the City.
