    My friends and I stopped by here for brunch after checking out the Hispanic Society Museum. The interior was cozy and expansive, with cute, sort of rustic decor. I had a hard time deciding which pasta to order. Finally went with the Strozzapreti alla Norcina, which consisted of sweet sausage, made with truffle cream sauce and porcini mushroom. This dish was oh so rich and creamy, with true taste of truffle. There was plenty of tender, juicy, well seasoned sausage and fresh perfectly cooked mushroom. For dessert, I couldn't resist getting the Dulce de Leche Molten Cake, since I am obsessed with everything Dulce de leche. This was plated stunningly, with homemade whipped cream on top, raspberry drops made into a flower, along with blueberries and sliced strawberries artfully placed. The cake was filled with sticky, sweet Dulce de leche, while outside was nice and moist. Service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and all our food came out in a timely manner. Prices were reasonable. I would return to try the Pork Chop (dinner) or Strangozzi, which is homemade linguini with shrimp, veggies, and garlic olive oil sauce.

    Calabrese

    Spacious restaurant with exposed brick walls and a brick oven in the middle. Service is helpful and personable. Restroom is also spacious and kept clean. Happy hour is awesome: $10 Margherita, $7 house wine and $6 drafts. 4-6p Mon-Sun. The Margherita was tasty (Parmesan on top a nice touch), especially is you love thin crust. The Calabrese was fine, too (could have been spicier). Fried artichokes didn't have much flavor. Fried calamari were too plain and chewy. Overall, although the place and service were great, the food we tried was just ok. I'd definitely go back to try other dishes.

    Gnocchi

    Enjoyed Bono. This is a really cute spot with a kind and patient wait staff. My friend and I split a Bianca pizza that was pretty tasty. You can taste the fresh wood fire oven crust. I also had the gnocchi from the happy hour menu. Both were simple, but delicious.

    A gem in Harlem. A true Italian food experience. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The wood fire, the old school Italian decor, the staff and goooood wine. A recurrent spot for me as every time I visit, I have an amazing experience start to finish. A MUST TRY DISH IS THE PESTO PASTA. I'm dreaming about it. Ugh, cant wait till I go back. You will not go wrong with any of the specials or regular items on the menu.

    Favorite local spot for a delicious Italian meal, brick oven pizza and wine selection for an unbeatable price. Bono has been my first to go option when I want to indulge my cravings of truly Italian food and don't have to necessarily take a trip downtown it pleases myself. The staff is friendly and welcoming, service is top notch and ambience is everything you can ask for from an intimate spot for a date night to a dinner night with yourself and/or some friends. I have a dairy allergy and other dietary needs and restrictions, main reasons I try to control my impulses to come here more often lol, but every time I take the risk, I make it count!! Is simply delicious.

    Strozzapreti alla Norcina
    Emily Y.

    So good! I'm a fan of their creamy dishes including their grilled polenta and their Strozzapreti alla Norcina dish. I felt like they both were not overwhelming in their flavors and were so well-balanced. When you walk in, you can see their brick oven in full view and the decor is kinda rustic. They have high ceilings too which makes the space seem very roomy. We went on a Wednesday night and I'm not sure if they have fewer staff on Wed nights but the staff working that day need a raise! I felt like the 2 floor staff I saw were doing such an excellent job for the number of tables they had to wait on. I'm excited to come back and try more dishes!

    The wait staff is good, and the food tasty-especially the pizza. I had the mushroom. But the portions are quite small for the price point.

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.
