Best Authentic Restaurants in Theater District

The food is amazing and the service is great. My love and I enjoyed our time there.

Becco never disappoints! Celebrated 2025 with an amazing meal. We all had the Sinfonia di Paste with Caesar salad. Pastas today were: rigatoni with tomato & basil, Semolina Gnocchi alla Romana and fettuccini with veal bolognese & peas. The dishes were absolutely delicious! We shared the Panna cotta for desert.

Exceptional wait staff, very obliging in assisting us in choosing a wine. Guests all loved their food. Spouse felt the salmon was the best ever. I had a gluten-free pasta dish and was disappointed. Would go back.

Best service ever!! Water glasses were never empty, each course arrived well-timed with the ones around it, wait staff was super helpful and courteous. Food was outstanding in the Appetizer and Salad courses, and mostly very good in the main course. Dishes with homemade pasta (fusilli, ravioli, fettuccini) were generally very tasty, with the veal-stuffed ravioli and its sauce being the best. Simply outstanding. The risotto was disappointing. Not the chef’s best showing, for sure. It was very creamy, but the arborio rice was cooked al dente and the sauce had no flavor. Very un-risotto like. Moving onto dessert, the crème brûlée, vanilla Ricotta torte (cheesecake), flourless chocolate torte and tartufo were all fantastic. We’d definitely go back, but will not order the risotto again.

We booked a Saturday reservation and were seated immediately which was nice. We ordered the dumplings, Branzino and Pas Thai. The dumplings came with truffles on top and were excellent. The sauce could have been a bit more exotic than just the soy sauce and vinegar for a Thai place. the Pad Thai has very good taste with very tender shrimps. The fried Branzino was great with spicy mixture with hot pepper, papaya and other flavors. At $45 maybe it was a bit pricey. Service was great with right amount of taking empty dishes away and asking how the food was. Overall vibe was great because the tight space and antique look of the dining room. The decor is not fancy but has a certain style of its own. We also ordered a Thai iced tea and a beer which were tasty as well. Next time I will try curry dishes and Tom Yom Soup.
