• Contemporary Italian • East Village

Booked 14 times today

Consistently excellent, this East Village gem is known for innovation and excellence in Roman cuisine. While Chef Salvatore Corea creates a seasonal menu, partners Alessandro Peluso and Giusto Priola note that Cacio e Pepe remains faithful to its signature namesake dish: home-made pasta brought to your table and spun in a wheel of pecorino cheese, then dusted with a flourish of pepper. Voted a ‘Critic’s Pick’ by New York Magazine, Cacio e Pepe is celebrated by reviewers as a classic Italian restaurant with a sense of style: A 50-seat garden is set behind the main dining room, there is al-fresco dining out front, and waiters with superior wine knowledge help you select the perfect beverage accompaniment to your meal. The mystery remains whether it is the garden, the cuisine, or the service which lifts Cacio e Pepe above and beyond its peers on the NYC restaurant scene. The answer, however, may best be expressed in French: It has that je ne se qua.

Outstanding food and very attentive service. The space is in the entry of Grand Central Station so seating up front is not ideal as there is a lot of noise and foot traffic. The main dining area is well appointed and comfortable.

This is a beautiful place. They captured the spirit of the holidays very well. The waiters were very clean and professional. The front desk ladies was very warm and welcoming. She escorted us to our table and welcomed us to have a seat. The appetizers were very delicious and a full course meal was the best of the best, and health. I will definitely go back with my family when they visit me in New York. Again, it’s a beautiful place to have dinner with the whole family.

Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.
