    Orecchiette Special
    Gregg R.

    I came here with a party of 5. We had a reservation and were seated right away. This is a small place with a single server and chef. The service was good and the food was standard for an Italian restaurant. I got the orecchiette special and the fried calamari as the appetizer. Decent portions and server was very friendly.

    Basic food & ambiance. Server was polite. However , the man that brought us our order was a vile homophobe. My children felt uncomfortable after some of his comments. It's so disappointing feeling like my family is an aberration...

    trofie pasta
    Anne F.

    When you move to a new place, I recommend that you go grocery shopping immediately. If you don't, you end up just going out constantly and spending a s**t load of money. That is what happened when we moved. We had no food in the house for dinner so we kept going out. And I swear, between going out more because we have everything around us and restaurant week, and buying the occasional salad for lunch, I must've gained like 10 pounds (insert eye-roll emoji). Anyways, there are 3 Italian restaurants right on our block, this place being one of them. We did try the other one, too, and that review will be released shortly. Back to 83 1/2, the restaurant is a bit smaller but the food was amazing. I got the papperdelle with duck ragu and A got the trofie pasta, which was the trofie style pasta with short rib. That dish was really, really, good. I should've gotten that one. The duck ragu was really good too, don't get me wrong, but A's was super good. His short rib was tender and it was falling apart on his fork. My duck ragu was cooked well and there was a good amount of duck in the sauce. The price is also reasonable, not too expensive. It's a place that you can go to more frequently than some of the other restaurants in the area. Service was good too. The waiter introduced himself and since it wasn't too busy yet, we got a better pick of the table. It started to get busy as time went on (we did get there really early). And since I almost never go to Italian restaurant without getting dessert, we got dessert, which was the chocolate cake. It said lava cake on the menu but it's more of an actual chocolate cake. But it was very good, soft, moist, and the chocolate was rich but not too sweet. This is a place I would return to, not only because it's right across the street but also because the prices are reasonable and the food is awesome!

    Yes, the food is amazing. The biggest variety of any Italian restaurant in the city! Tonight I tried the osso buco for the first time. It was huge, so tender, and delicious. Wife had an off the menu request of fettuccine primavera. Truly spring with a great mix of fresh veggies. We started with baked clams all oreganato. The best I've ever had. Service was excellent and ambiance was great. Relatively quiet with Andrea Boccelli singing in the background. Give it a try and you're sure to return

    Linguine al Frutti di Mare homemade linguine, calamari, clams, mussels and shrimp The seafood was fresh and delicately prepared, and the calamari highlighted the simply seasoned pasta. Tablecloth dining with attentive wait staff serving quality Italian food in a cozy, candlelit space.

    Fiocchi 4 Formaggi and Pappardelle Al ragu d'anatra
    Christine M.

    This spot has a great outdoor dining setup. I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and so glad I did! The staff was extremely friendly and the service was great. We started with the Baked Clams followed by the Pappardelle Al Ragu D'anatra and Fiocchi 4 Formaggi. The Baked Clams were absolutely delicious, the breadcrumbs and seasoning were perfect. The fresh pappardelle was fantastic. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant!

    Cozy neighborhood restaurant with great food. I had the fiocchi which were great. It's the UES so it's not trendy but it's still cute

    Chic restaurant with open kitchen and a small upstairs private dining room. The restaurant felt…read moreromantic but also has several families and friend groups. The pasta was al dente perfection and most importantly there were generous sauce portions. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and personable. I dined with a friend and we ordered 3 pastas instead of an appetizer (fantastic choice). We tried the following dishes: *Garganelli Mushroom Ragu and Ricotta Salata. This was by far our favorite dish. It was bursting with flavor, had tons of sauce and cheese and was perfectly cooked. If you enjoy mushroom you MUST order this!! *Tagliatelle Bolognese Bianco (Chicken, Veal, Pork) and Parmigiano. Which was so delicious and has plenty of meat and sauce. The tagliatelle was amazing and tasted to fresh. *Bucatini with Pancetta, Tomato, Chilies and Pecorino. We thought this was good but our least favorite dish of the 3. Honorable mention to the spaghetti that my friend had at her last visit. She said it was fresh and delicious but almost too rich which she mostly owned to it being a white sauce.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

It works especially well for a mixed group since they have plenty of options including dishes without meat and everyone can find something. Even my picky niece and nephew were happy. My favorite entree is the Capellini Puttanesca, with capers, olives, basil, and anchovies. It's super tasty, satisfying, and the perfect portion. I also love that they offer wine by the glass and the service is consistently attentive. The waiters are always moving through the room, checking tables, refilling water, and making sure people have what they need. It's good, reliable, and near Broadway. NOTES/TIPS: **Reservations recommended via Google, Open Table; wheelchair accessible; clean bathrooms.
