Best Authentic Restaurants in Times Square

Great atmosphere, service, and of course, food! We had the Tom Yum seafood hotpot and the Karee Pu Noodles (curry crab noodles) and both were delicious. Can be hard getting a reservation (though luckily a 12:30 PM one opened up for us) so definitely reserve a spot in advance!

Truffle linguini was so fresh with just the right amount of truffle. Spaghetti carbonara with pork and the egg on top was a hit at my table. Pappardelle was a good hardy bowl of pasta and roasted lamb. The capri pizza with a Caesar salad was a perfect appetizer for the table. Priced reasonably for the city, this place is definitely worth several visits.

Thank you for a great dining experience! I brought my mom who has been thinking about your pita bread and Brussels sprouts since she first dined at Zaytinya DC 8 years ago. Every bite of food was delicious and put smiles on our faces.

Wow! This place is amazing. Came in Wednesday around noon, party of 6. The place was packed with the pre-theater matinee diners (and probably extra busy because its the holiday season) and was buzzing. The service is spectacular. They have a well oiled machine and know exactly what they're doing to make sure nothing goes wrong. I was so impressed watching all the staff whiz around the restaurant. They start you off with a complimentary bread basket. We started with 3 appetizers - the burrata special, mozzarella farcita dello chef (homemade fresh mozzarella cheese stuffed with sweet roast peppers & marinated eggplant, served with fresh tomatoes & basil) and the calamari. Everything was excellent. Plenty of food for us 6 and still had leftovers. For an entrees I had the agnolotti piemontesi - homemade veal & parmesan cheese ravioli with wild mushrooms sauce. Devine! A must. My colleagues raved about their homemade potato gnocchi with radicchio & taleggio cheese sauce which also looked so great. Cocktails all around were wonderful. Ordered a few desserts - tiramisu was a standout! If you are looking for a great place to eat this holiday season with family and friends add this to your list. You wont be disappointed!
