I can't remember the servers name, but I recall asking where he's from and he said Croatia. He was very hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the pasta of the day "a ravioli dish" and it was the best I'd ever had. I went back the next day and had the lobster bisque soup and a cannoli. That complimentary lemoncello shot took me out Ill definitely be back! It wasn't too busy during lunch, but was packed when I walked by during dinner, so I'd recommended a reservation after 5pm.

The ambiance is cute, a little corner restaurant with a few spots outside to sit and a lot of indoor seating. The wait is never long which surprises me because this place is just amazing!

I went for the first time to actually have lunch. The food was okay. The lunch menu is small (not many options), so I got the burger.

The two of us pretty much finished everything, it was so good! Service is friendly and food came out quickly despite the crowds. The restaurant loses one star because it's absolutely packed to the gills and really noisy. You can barely walk between tables and you have to yell across the table to be heard. I'd definitely return but on a non-rainy evening when we can sit outside!

Taylor's Tayke: Il Brigante feels like a classic…read moreneighborhood Italian spot with a warm atmosphere and dishes that lean heavily into comfort and richness. Sitting on Front Street adds to the experience, especially for a slower dinner where you're sharing plates, sipping cocktails, and settling into the night. The menu has a little bit of everything, from seafood to pastas to desserts, and the homemade touches throughout the meal really stand out. My Tipsy Tayke: The Burnt Orange was my favorite drink of the night. Unique flavor profile with a slight bitterness that made it memorable. The Toasted Almond was smooth, tasty, and not overly milky, while the Espresso Martini tasted authentic and properly balanced. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Lobster Pasta Easily my standout dish. The pasta itself was truly delicious, rich and satisfying, even though I wish there was a bit more lobster included. Standout: Truffle Mushroom Pappardelle The pasta was thick and beautifully cooked with a subtle truffle flavor that wasn't overwhelmingly creamy. The Sea Salt Focaccia Bread came crispy, soft, and crunchy all at once, especially paired with their spicy homemade olive oil. The Calamari was another strong dish, not overly breaded with flavor that slowly builds as you eat it. Moist, seasoned, and cooked really well. The Wild Caught Salmon tasted very fresh and natural. The Salad with apple and arugula had a tangy freshness that became weirdly addictive. The Pizza was decent overall, though the cheese slid off a bit and the crust leaned harder than I'd prefer. The Shrimp had good flavor but still came with the skin on, which may or may not be your thing. The Avocado Salad was okay but didn't stand out as much compared to the rest of the meal. Desserts: The Cannoli was excellent with the perfect balance of crunch, sweetness, and cream. The Crème Brûlée was soft and creamy, and the Chocolate Pizza was fun and indulgent, basically chocolate layered over pizza bread with a sticky, mouthwatering finish. Service: Welcoming and paced well for a longer dinner experience. Plates From My Visit: Sea Salt Focaccia Bread Calamari Arugula Apple Salad Pizza Shrimp Burrata Avocado Salad Lobster Pasta Truffle Mushroom Pappardelle Wild Caught Salmon Chocolate Pizza Crème Brûlée Cannoli Burnt Orange Toasted Almond Espresso Martini In Conclusion: A cozy Italian dining experience with standout pastas, strong cocktails, and comforting desserts. Come hungry, order a few things to share, and definitely don't skip the pasta. Stamped by Elajas

Location: Downtown Manhattan…read more Customer Service: 10/10 The customer service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the entire experience. Ambiance: Cozy, clean and spacious. The only downside was the wait time. It took about 30-45 minutes for the food to be served, but the quality made it worth the wait. Grilled Octopus This was easily the highlight of the meal. The grilled octopus was served with parsnip purée, wrinkled potatoes, and mojo rojo. The combination of sweet and savory flavors was outstanding, and the octopus was perfectly cooked--tender with just the right amount of char. Every bite paired beautifully with the creamy purée and flavorful sauce. It's definitely on the pricier side, but I believe it's worth trying at least once. I'd happily come back for this dish and would definitely bring friends with me next time.

The restaurant is located in the Financial District near The Battery. The restaurant has a really welcoming atmosphere that works perfectly for a business lunch or dinner! The menu has a variety of options to choose from pastas, chicken, steak, antipasti and more! Some of the options include the following Ravioli Primavera Gnocchi Bolognese Fettucine Cacio E Pepe Crispy Sea Bass Chicken Parmesan Grilled Hanger Steak Veal Chop and so much more! It was so difficult for me to choose between the carbonara and the cacio e pepe. I ended up ordering the carbonara, and it was fantastic! The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and it had that comforting, homemade quality. You could tell those noodles were fresh! It was easily one of the best meals I had during my time in the city. As good as the pasta was, I have to give some credit to dessert as well! I ordered the pineapple upside down cake, and it was absolutely delicious. Sweet without being overwhelming, moist, and a great way to finish the meal. if I went back, I'd order it again! The last time I had a Pineapple Upside down cake was in Hawaii. The service was fantastic! Everyone we interacted with was friendly, and attentive! The staff did a great job taking care of our group! Joseph's Restaurant was an excellent dining experience. Great food, fantastic service, and a amazing atmosphere which made it a perfect spot for dinner with colleagues in the Financial District.

The Drink: I decided to try their signature Frozé, which sounded like a dream on paper: Hampton Water Rosé, Grey Goose Vodka, Lillet Rosé, and Elderflower. Fancy, floral, and promising. The presentation was Instagram-worthy--garnished with a freeze-dried lemon wedge and a tiny flower. But watching the bartender handle those garnishes with bare hands? Not exactly confidence-inspiring. Taste-wise, it was sweet. Like, "I've hit my sugar quota for the day" sweet. At $18, it's standard NYC pricing, but I couldn't tell if I was tipsy or just riding a glucose high. A second round? My blood sugar said absolutely not. ‍ The Vibe: The place was nearly empty, and the maître d' gave off serious "why are you here?" energy. We asked about sitting outside and got a reaction like we'd requested a private yacht. Not the warmest welcome. The Letdowns besides the way too sweet drink...No happy hour pricing on the signature drink? Oof. That stung a little! Good thing I couldn't have another drink. Le District has its charm, and I've had better experiences here in the past. But this visit didn't quite hit the mark. Pretty drinks, meh service, and a sugar overload--not exactly the trifecta I was hoping for...
