I’ve been visiting Becco for ~15 years when in Manhattan. The experiences have been consistently excellent. This year’s thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. Great wine, antipasto, three tasty pastas, braised short ribs that melted in my mouth, and a dessert sampler tray. I’ve never been offered cocoa pasta stuffed with squash. It was creamy and without a hint of chocolate—despite the ingredients. Another fun Becco experience. Thanks Lydia and staff!

I hadn’t been to Orso in years, as I don’t live in NY anymore and when I do visit, there are so many options! But I needed someplace wonderful before the theater, and decided to revisit this restaurant. It was an excellent choice. The food was beautifully executed (and I’m a private chef, so I’m pretty picky, lol), and the service was exemplary — warm, friendly, professional. The room is welcoming and attractive, and the noise level, even with a totally full house, was refreshingly quiet. If you need a great place for pre-theatre (or apres-theatre) dinner, you can’t do better than Orso. My highest recommendation. (Oh, and ask for Tracy as your server — she was the best!)

Great place for before show dinner! Great food, cocktails, and even better service

Absolutely wonderful meal with incredible service. Hands down the best French onion soup I've ever had. Really great cocktails too!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carmine's on 44th with a large party, and I must say, the service was exceptional from start to finish! The hostess made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the attentive service continued throughout the evening. I spoke with the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our gathering. I highly recommend Carmine's on 44th for its fantastic food and outstanding service!
