The people watching - other folks in the restaurants or pedestrians - is my favorite part about this restaurant. Great location, great neighborhood. Everything I've ever eaten here has been wonderful. Slower service, but feels authentic to European style dining. Cash only! I find the prices reasonable, the specials to die for, and the vibes immaculate. read more

Excellent food, great service. Very attentive, meatballs were incredible. Love the atmosphere.

The pasta is delicious, the service has always been fast and kind when I've visited, and it's honestly such a classic, wonderful experience to sit in their sidewalk area, enjoy the open air, and just people watch as you eat your dinner. Unfortunately taking off a star because my olive oil plate was dirty with dried food on it ... read more

We've been told that this is a great restaurant by more than two people and we're excited to try it out on our Ny trip! It was an early dinner time and we walked in, as soon as we walked in, the spot got packed, so we felt lucky, it was perfect timing! It has European vibes with Italian staff, looks authentic. My friends ordered2 Truffle Linguine and I ordered Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana, fiesolana was great! I love the sauce, everything in it make the pasta tastes beyond! The truffle linguines were missing salt though, so the taste wasn't quite there until you add the salt. The tiramisu was alright, but nothing special. I really love how they change and add daily items on the menu, I think it's innovative and fun! The things we didn't quite like; the service was a bit weird; the 2 Italian servers were fighting over our table while serving food, and the temper wasn't really appealing. He was shaving cheese on my pasta and we got cheese all over the table, including my wine.. I know they're Italian but no one wants to bring it in front of customers.. read more

Saw a TikTok about this place saying that they have great Italian food. So bad that I had to leave a review! 1. The waiters who are older men had the nastiest attitude for absolutely no reason. Everything we asked seemed like a big inconvenience for him. We were asking about the menu but he made us feel like idiots for not knowing what a certain dish has in it. The menu board that he showed us had horrible handwriting we couldn't even read it. It doesn't help that he goes over the menu board in 3x speed playback. We didn't even bother asking about a certain dish because we were scared of pissing him off. 2. Food was OVERPRICED ASF and the protein content were very limited. The pasta was very mediocre. Do not get the truffle pasta please. For $50, you get a good amount of truffle but the cream sauce was literally water by the way it had no flavor. And the noodles had a weird chewy texture in a watery cream sauce. Wine was served in an old short glass, not very classy, not very demure. Water glass smelled fishy like it wasn't washed well. We ate as fast as we could so we could get the hell out of here. Ambiance was not great if you want to enjoy your night. 3. Cash only, which is fine. But if you're gonna charge only cash, at least lower the price a little on your mediocre food!! Receipt was very sketchy. It was written out sloppily in hope that you don't bother asking about them charging you more than they should. I could not read the handwriting and he gave us an attitude when we asked for him to clarify the total and gratuity. Don't support restaurants that could care less about their customers and the quality of their food. If this is considered "authentic Italian food"... I'm not sure if I want to go to Italy. They're doing Italian cuisine a disgrace. read more

The wise American philosopher Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn once said "B**** Don't get too comfortable..." This quote is exactly how I feel about Bar Pitti. With all the celebrities endorsing this place, I imagine people will come here no matter what so the level of service doesn't matter as much to them as it used to. We walked in for lunch and were seated immediately. The servers seemed pretty disinterested in us from the start, and this attitude carried over to the kitchen. I started off with an aperol spritz to beat the humidity, but it came in an alarmingly small glass. "What is this? A spritz for ants?!" the hero said to himself... At $16.50 I felt it should have been more than a 3 sip spritz. We got a mixed green salad that came unmixed, as the dressing was only on the top portion of the greens. Pain. However, I must concede that they are NOT messing around when it comes to the Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana. I generally don't like a creamy pasta, as I often times find it too heavy but they have it DIALED in here. The perfect amount of creaminess and flavor. I have had better Italian food and overall dining experience in NYC. Bar Pitti may have gotten a little too comfortable... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Bar Pitti Bar Pitti, the Bar was high, which is a pity. The Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana was in fact delicious, I'm glad I got that. You can tell it was fresh. Not sure why the bacon was in it seeing that I couldn't taste it unless it added some underlying saltiness or fattiness to the dish. Forgive me if I'm too poor to have never been to a proper Italian spot with "real Italians" serving me. While people brush this off, I can't. I felt off-put by the service. Maybe it was the time when the server was pouring the olive oil and because he was looking away talking to the other server, he started to pour oil on the table, until my sister quickly recentered it. Or perhaps it was when I asked for cheese and because he was in mid grate before leaving, the rest of the cheese just trailed on me. I guess that's the Italian way! There was plenty of outdoor seating which was nice. I felt a little uncomfortable with our specific table because it was excruciatingly close to the next party (for COVID's sake). I could've elbowed him. We were seated very fast despite arriving at 6:15 on a Saturday night. *cash only!* There is an atm inside but if that's uncomfortable to you prepare ahead of time. That is all. read more

Reallllly loved the appetizers and pastas here! Quick meal. Went around 6pm on a Friday for an early dinner and didn't have to wait at all. Get the prosciutto, garlic, olive oil on bread app, it was the perfect blend of flavors! The pappardelle pasta was our fan favorite, very creamy & perfectly Al dente noodles. The rigatoni was a close second. Will definitely be back to try other fan favorites!! Cash only too. read more

This is what I come for EVERY TIME I visit this spot! The Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana is a creamy red sauce with bacon bits over delicious Pappardelle pasta. They grate the cheese on top right I'm front of you! Amazingly satisfying, dont forget to bring cash though or visit their basement atm because it is cash only! A cozy cute interior, you will be sitting practically in the next table's lap haha. I like that style though since it adds to the liveliness of the restaurant. Often loud with people sharing meals and conversations. I think the patio section may be a bit quieter! Overall, definitely recommend this place! read more

I've never had anyone be so rude to me on the phone as the lady who I just spoke to. Condescending and talking over me as I was trying to ask questions. The phone call lasted less than 30 seconds and she already acted like I took up too much of her time and she hung up on me. Really sad because I did like the food but it's just not worth it given it's cash only, have to wait in line for table, and the rude hostess. There are so many Italian spots in the area that have incredible food and kind staff (that take credit card and reservations)! read more

Some of these reviews are mean. Nice place, good food. Why do I need to say more? 85, 84, 83, 82... am I at 85 yet? Why do you demand verbosity when all I want to say this is a good place? read more

Overated. Food was extremely mediocre. Service was bad and disrespectful. Ambiance is just depressing. Nothing special about this place. read more

Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana is a must try here! This is a very quaint little spot in West Village, with a lot of outdoor seating - which is perfect as the weather gets warmer. The restaurant is cash only, and they have an ATM on the bottom floor near the bathrooms (not sure if it's still open given COVID though). There's a bit of construction around the restaurant from what I recall, but once that finishes, you'll have an excellent view of 6th Ave. Now for the main star of the show: the Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana -- the flat noodles compliment the creamy sauce perfectly, and they give you extra cheese to put on top. I've ordered a couple times for takeaway during COVID and it's always been a great experience (fresh bread and cheese included). read more

Bar Pitti has its place. If you know what you're in for, there's definitely a good time to be had and the fact that it's constantly packed is plenty evidence in its favor. Expect to be briskly shown to a table if one is available and a relatively brief wait on the sidewalk if one isn't. The wait is brief because food flies out at this place faster than a pigeon to a dropped dirty water dog - don't expect a leisurely dining experience. But the vibes are still good. The food menu on the table is mostly for show. The "specials" are famously written on chalk boards exclusively in Italian and are the way to go. I say "specials" because I don't think they've changed in...years? It's fun and needlessly inconvenient. Don't miss the "special" fried mushrooms and rabbit papperdelle. The veal cutlet is thin, crispy and also spot on. Do skip the bean and tuna salad. The wine offerings are serviceable: expect reasonably good examples of classic Italian styles at sensible price points, probably little to knock your socks off, but nothing to grimace about either. All in all, if you're keen for a quick, good plate of pasta, it's on the Bar Pitti "specials" boards. read more

Waited about 40 min for a table on Saturday for 4 people around 7ish. Once we were seated, service itself was incredibly fast, we were out by 7:45! I got the Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana without meat and it was everything. I love fresh pappardelle- it was super thin and perfectly cooked. Sauce was great too, and loved that they could make it vegetarian. It's expensive but standard for NYC. Not sure why it's gotten such mixed reviews from others, I loved the pasta and will be back! read more

Always super crowded, great service and food! Everything tastes super fresh and high quality. The papardelle with ham and cream sauce is INCREDIBLE. The ham has such a smoky flavor that reminds me of bacon, and the sauce is super rich and cheesy. Highly recommend. I've had a lot of pasta in my life and haven't tasted a dish quite like this, definitely worth checking out! read more

Dinner for two. Easily up charged me. Total would have been $104. Charged me $144 with tax. Paid $173 total. Ain't no way. Got two glasses of Lambrusco, Artichoke salad, Rigatoni, Cappucinno, Tiramisu, and the Prosciutto Fettun. I liked this place before it become apparently a "hot spot" since when. I feel like I got robbed right in front of me but it happened so fast. Go to Little Italy for less. At least I would be drunk and full. read more

Ton of Hype? Yes. Annoying cash only for a 30$ a plate place? Yes. Worth it? Also yes! This place is a hit of gem I have to say, pasta is fresh sauces are beyond great and you can actually walk in and get a table most days without a crazy wait. In NYC with all the tik tok and insta people causing crazy waits everywhere for just ok pasta dishes this place really comes through excellent portions and amazing execution. We had the papardelle (pink) and the pasta with black truffle. Both excellent but to be honest for the price the Pappardelle was the winner by a mile! Service is above average and the cash only takes a bit off...but a solid 4-4.5 all day. We will be back! read more

Bar Pitti - with black truffle Tartufo - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Food comes fast: a plus if you are starving. Came here after my teen found the tik tok raves. The fiesolana looked amazing in the photos. It was the better of our dishes. We also ordered my daughter's go to of arrabiata. The sauce lacked depth. Yes it had a slightly spicy kick but no other flavor. Bland tomato sauce with a slight heat but forgettable and we didn't finish or take to go. The tiramisu was decent. I asked for change to tip properly and was only given change with the option to over or under tip by a lot. I also disliked that as I'm an overtipper so felt pressured to leave the higher amount which I assume is a trick that often works at a cash only spot. Look, it's not bad but we've had so so so much better elsewhere when it comes to pasta. Seems like a quick neighborhood grub joint. You won't leave hungry but also not wowed either. read more

As a recurring customer that enjoys the pasta here and it's always my go-to after a long day in the city. This past Sunday when I went, the service wasn't as great, I'm not sure why but every table received bread, except my partner and I. Also, the waiter that we had did not go over the specials neither. My partner had to turn around and look at another tables menu to order a special. Like wtf? Prior to that, the service was always so good for me. I don't understand and was soo disappointed. read more

I am a lifelong customer. I have been coming here since I was 5 years old. The food is always excellent, my favorite entree is the pappardelle. I love to come in the summer and sit outside, as the indoor space is too brightly lit. But the service has become a different story. This place has had its soul sucked out of it. The servers are so jaded and rude, they force you to give them your full order the moment you are seated. The food comes out so quickly, you would think you're in a fast food chain, which honestly goes against the norms of Italian dining. You're supposed to sit for a while and enjoy your meal. But not here. They don't care about you or your experience. They are on a mission to turn over the table as quickly as possible. The other night, we were there on the later side, we came in at about an hour before closing. But right when 11:00 hit, they KICKED US OUT. Me, a veteran customer, was not allowed to finish my meal. It was 10:57, three minutes before closing time and they started stacking tables and chairs. We went to the restroom and came back to find our outdoor table was gone. They forced us to pay on the spot and get out. When we complained about how poorly we were treated, the head waiter gave one of us a kiss on the head. Wow. Things have gotten so weird here that I will never be returning. read more

Bar Pitti - Stacked Tables and Chairs, while we were still eating - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

There was a line when I got to the place but we were seated fairly quickly. We choose three plates to try out: 1) Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana 2) Penne Stracicate and 3) Penne All Arrabbiata. Hands down the favorite dish of the table was the Pappardelle Alla Fiesolana. Unfortunately, we found a hair in our meal and all we got was an apology and a longer wait for our food. We then had dessert and we choose 1) Torta Della Nonna 2) Chocolate Mousse and 3)Panna Cotta. Chocolate Mousse was the favorite one. The place feels very homie but quite a tight squeeze. Make a note that this place is a CASH ONLY restaurant. read more

Food was ok. Black truffle pasta had a generous serving of pasta but a little bland and a smaller portion for sure. Rigatoni was also good but didn't come out hot. Menu appears limited but they have a large list of specials they bring to each table. Restaurant gives a very homestyle/ regulars vibe. Glad I tried it but not sure I would come again! read more

CASH ONLY (ATM downstairs) My friend and I walked in on a weekday evening and were able to be seated right away. We ordered a spinach dish and two pastas, all of which were good/great. Prices were consistent and expected with the neighborhood. I'm not necessarily running back to have food here due to the service. It was little things that cumulative made me feel like I wasn't particularly welcome or their preferred guest. One of the servers showed us their specials which were Italian dishes & words written on a chalkboard, but didn't exactly explain what anything was so we found ourselves googling stuff. He eventually came back to ask us if we had questions, but you could tell our questions were bothering him a little. Small things like that. Not a huge deal to many people but definitely a reason for me personally to go elsewhere. Hopefully he was just having an off day! read more

It was an extremely busy afternoon In the west Village and I was welcomed with open arms to sit down at Bar Pitti and experience such wonderful service and food.

The presentation of the food was so beautiful and everything was so fresh and was so good. I highly recommend this wonderful establishment to anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful meal In New York city's famous west village eatery.

Bar Pitti never gets old. From the first time I came here in 2016 to now, the food has always tasted saucy and delicious. The rigatoni is extremely delicious in particular.

Ok so, here's the tea - I'm giving two stars for the buzzy ambiance and the servers being friendly. That being said, the food was super mid. I ordered the arribiatta and wow -- it was so basic and lackluster...I have made much better at home. I tried a friend's pappardelle, and it literally tasted like just cream, again lackluster and flavorless. For the restaurant to be filled with Italians (from Italy, not Brooklyn Italians!), it seems very far off from my culinary experience in Italy. Unfortunately, I would pass. read more

First time indoor seating was cramped but the food was simply perfect. Second time dining on the patio was better. Definitely a New York sidewalk vibe. read more
