    Burrata
    Mei M.

    The best and authentic Italian experience I have had. It is a small and busy casual restaurant. Everything is made like a home Cooked meal with real cream, cheese and fresh vegetables. This is the most comforting food you can get in the city. The staff is super nice and talkative. They were really friendly and all introduced themselves to me and joked around. Service is fast. One of the best places I have eaten in NYC. Get the mushrooms!!' Cash only!

    this place is iconic. something about a restaurant that's casual but the food is top tier that does it for me. i walked in here on a thursday night at 6pm and sat outside in workout clothes. you can dress up or down and the vibe is still immaculate. service is quick! waiters are italian so it feels very authentic. can't go wrong with this place. only downside is it's cash only and there's sometimes a wait.

    I loveeee the pasta here. Service can be iffy but the food comes out pretty quickly. Also cash only. I prefer to sit outside but the inside can also be a vibe. Pretty sure celebrities come here like Taylor Swift which is why it's always busy.

    Bar Pitti absolutely lived up to the hype. From start to finish, everything we ordered was spot-on, delivering that rustic Italian comfort with just the right amount of New York energy. The Burrata was a standout -- impossibly creamy, perfectly paired with fresh bread. The Rigatoni (Riggies) were rich and flavorful, with sauce that clung to every bite just the way it should. The Gnocchi were pillowy and light, a true testament to well-crafted handmade pasta. And the Pappardelle? Silky ribbons tossed in a hearty creamy sauce. The vibe is casual. Service was amazing! Our waiter had the Italian accent and we loved him. The experience felt authentically Italian without trying too hard. Can't wait to go back.

    Bar Pitti is exactly what you expect from a beloved New York hotspot -- lively, crowded, energetic, and full of personality. The service was fun and friendly, though admittedly a bit slow at times. Definitely arrive early if you want to avoid a wait. The atmosphere is classic NYC: tables close, conversations overlapping, and you'll probably "get to know your neighbor," which is part of the charm and totally expected for this style of dining. I ordered the Taglierini al Tartufo Nero, which was good but not great. The pasta itself didn't taste fresh -- almost as if it had been made days prior and dried out too long. The truffle sauce was also noticeably under-seasoned and a bit bland. Fortunately, a generous snowfall of fresh Parmesan brought the dish back to life. The pairing of high-quality Parmesan and aromatic truffle worked beautifully together, even if the noodles themselves were underwhelming. Despite the pasta misstep, the vibe, friendly service, great company, and a surprise celebrity sighting made the evening genuinely memorable. Bar Pitti has an undeniable charm, and I'll absolutely be returning to try more dishes. It remains a classic New York local favorite -- imperfect at times, but still well worth the visit.

    Ouch... I've heard so many good reviews about Bar Pitti but I hate to be the one that begs to differ Our tab came about $700 worth of food and drinks, I even tried my homies' order & nothing moved me + the restaurant lacks space, the only thing that was moving was my seat that kept being kicked by servers and people passing by behind me. Appetite low, Overstimulation high My Linguini Alle Vongole was slightly the best pick on the table

    I was unfortunately underwhelmed by Bar Pitti. I was super excited to try the famous pappardelle but was unfortunately let down a bit. Don't get me wrong, it was by no means bad. It was good, however for the amount of hype around this restaurant and this dish, in particular, I wasn't overly impressed.The wine was great and the appetizers we got were very good as well. I tried one person in our parties Milanese and it was very good. Service was a bit slow, but we were a larger group so that's understandable, but unfortunately, our waiter was not the friendliest. I must say the ambience is great as it definitely feels like a typical old school Italian restaurant. I would definitely try Bar Pitti again, but I think there are much better Italian establishments in the city.

    Really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the fresh pasta! The pappardelle alla fiesolana was such a great dish (quite heavy) but phenomenal! The rigatoni pitti was also delightful! The veal meatballs were a little chewy, but still a great appetizer! Cheers!

    Definitely one of the best pastas I've had in this city for a long time. Authentic Italian touch. Servers were so sweet and had the right amount of euro style care I look for in my experiences. The restaurant isn't huge which also adds to its charm. People are flowing in and out of there creating a sense of lure! You have to be there and if you're not...what are you waiting for??

    Is it hard making reservations?

    From my understanding, they don't take any. Sometimes there's a wait but for the most part it's not too bad

    Do they serve cocktails like espresso martinis?

    Is there gluten free pasta?

    Yes

    Is there currently construction in front of Bar Pitti?

    Yeah still there. Service still sucks

    Is this place a chill relaxed environment where you can read a book while enjoying a meal?

    Not after 530pm

    Do you like bar pitti?

    No. Host was rude taking "friends" for for 45 minutes while everyone stood on the sidewalk on a line like fools.

    Are you going to the Joyce for a wonderful evening of dance ?…read more Do you prefer a location close by ? Is inexpensive Italian food a preferred choice ? If you answered "yes" to all three, then Fumo is a place to seriously consider. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service is fast and attentive. The menu has lots of excellent choices. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. There you go ! Fumo is for you, (at least the Chelsea location) is for you. Any drawbacks ? youi ask.....well, yes, there is one, and it should be cosnidered. The restaurant is so so so popular that the noise level can be a bit ..... shall we say "daunting." Fumo is a great place but if you want a soft, quiet place to have a serious conversation, maybe save it for another time....

    The experience was very disappointing. The menu labels many items as gluten free, but I was told…read morethere's cross contamination. This means those dishes aren't truly gluten free for people with celiac disease or anyone who has to avoid gluten. When I pointed that out to my server, he just gave me a blank stare. I tried to explain why labeling those items as gluten free is misleading, but he seemed completely disinterested, even annoyed, dismissed what I was saying, and simply responded that the pasta is gluten free. I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.
