Had a great experience and dinner at Da Claudio. Felt we were sitting in a restaurant in Italy and not NY. The food was amazing from the fresh made pasta to special of the night. I highly recommend the fresh house made Sorbet for dessert, it was so good and refreshing. The service was great and we were treated well. The ambiance was quiet yet festive for the holidays. read more

Great Italian spot in FiDi. The pasta is clearly fresh and well executed, and the service really stands out, attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between cozy and upscale, making it perfect for a date or a business dinner. Overall, a very solid experience and I'd definitely come back. read more

A bit of a late review, but came here earlier in the summer for a Friday evening dinner. I don't know what it is about FiDi but there aren't a ton of good sit down restaurant in the area. Nonetheless, I felt Da Claudio was ok. I ordered a glass of red wine that I felt was very mid. But perhaps I'm getting more accustomed to natural wine these days which has a very different flavor profile. Don't recall getting any apps which is rare but I ordered the rigatoni which I think had pancetta in it. It was good! Not amazing but solid. we ended with some blood orange sorbet (i believe) which was a nice way to end the meal. read more

Excellent service. Meatballs and gnocchi special are amazing! Good red sauce italian spot with real Italians!

Stopped in for a quick lunch and really glad we did. It is a pretty large restaurant and really nicely decorated. It has a pretty big bar and lots of seating. The owner and server were very friendly. It was not busy as it was a bit late for lunch. They give you some nice soft bread and olive oil which we love. We ordered the beef carpaccio and two grilled chx sandwiches. The carpaccio was soooo good. It had mushrooms and arugula and it really was so flavorful. The sandwiches were fantastic. There was this grilled pepper on it that gave it such a nice flavor profile- a bit sweet but not too sweet. The chicken had been cut so it didn't all spill out when you took a bite which was very nice. It really was a ratty sandwich. If we had more time in NY, I would have come back to try their pasta. If there sandwich and carpaccio were this good, their past had to be really good. read more

After a long walk from Brooklyn to FiDi, Da Claudio was the perfect treat for a nice lunch with friends. I got the seafood pasta, which was pretty good and came with a generous amount of seafood. The pasta itself was nice, but it was missing a little punch in terms of flavor. Overall, it was a solid meal and a great spot to relax after a busy day. I'd definitely return to try other dishes! read more

Eugene is an amazing bartender. Knowledge & professional. The food is phenomenal! The burrata salad & the prawn squid linguini are to die for! Highly recommend. read more

If we could hire the head and sous chef to be our personal chefs we would. The lamb ragu, Carbonara, squid ink pasta and their wagyu bolognese will stop time. Every bite was so flavorful. We savored every bite as we cleaned our plates. The fritto mitso was amazing, but the fried artichokes stole the cake. Just amazing. I can still taste them. We had every flavor of gelato, cherry cannoli and tiramisu.. Wine list was great and our waiter was amazing at pairing. It was clean, with large group accommodations. We will be back! read more

The cost feels right for the quality they deliver. This place delivers a good experience. The team care was exceptionally good! Da Claudio has secured a spot in my future dining plans. This spot provides extraordinary service. read more

This was a late birthday celebration with a very good friend and I absolutely loved my experience and would definitely come again and highly recommend this fantastic restaurant. Each dish was very yummy and unique. It was lovely the restaurant had happy hour as well, me and my friend tried their bruschetta which was very tasty and fresh, light and refreshing to start!! Their bread before that came out with the olive oil was delicious as well, I so wanted to eat all of the bread. Next we had their grilled octopus on some bean sauce which was a bit saltier than I liked but really good all the same, tender and cooked perfectly! We ordered two main dishes; gnocchi which had a wow and amazingly made pesto sauce and the gnocchi was absolutely the best I've eaten, light as marshmallow and not heavy or super doughy....so happy eating all the dishes. I wish there was more pine nuts in the pesto gnocchi dish but those nuts are sure expensive. Last was the squid ink dish which of course I had to order because we both love squid ink and it was another delicious dish, sauce and those big shrimp sooo yummy. A must visit read more

Finding this restaurant made my day! The area around this restaurant stays busy after dark. Employees maintain positive attitudes without any condescension. Their plating technique makes the food more appetizing. I enjoyed every aspect of my visit. read more

The decorations and ambiance are really nice here. Its a large restaurant with plenty of seating. It seems they are more of a seafood Italian spot, a lot more of those options than meat/veggies. The service was pretty good, not friendly but attentive. As far as the food, I was disappointed. I was very excited for the caccio e pepe but it was not good. The pasta was a little hard and since the noodles were thicker it wasn't enjoyable. I understand they cook al dente but, when the noodle is thick it should have gotten an extra minute or two. There was barely any pepper...that's the point of the dish. I had to ask for more pepper, cheese, and add salt and it was just okay. Did not finish it all. Worst part is they packed it in a little cardboard box with no tape and gave no bag so all of it spilled in my bag. Why wouldn't they provide bags? My friend had their carbonara and said it was okay; the pancetta had nice flavor. Their mango iced tea drink is really good. They are pretty pricey it was not worth it to me. read more

A hidden gem in the Financial District, Da Claudio will be seeing me again and hopefully soon! I was meeting friends for dinner but arrived early--by 30 minutes. Carrying heavy bags with aching feet, I was so grateful that the host/manager allowed me to sit before my friends arrived. Happy Hour is offered daily through 7 PM with some great food, beer/wine and cocktail choices. I began with my favorite--A Rose from Italy and it was delicious. Once my friends arrived, we placed our order with the waitstaff. He was very helpful by offering recommendations and suggestions. I decided to go with the Scallopine Pollo which was boneless chicken breast sauteed in a caper white wine sauce. It was accompanied by potatoes and roasted vegetables. Not only was the portion generous, but the meal itself was executed quite well and flavorful. I was satisfied with my selection. My friends ordered Risotto and a pasta dish respectively and gave it two thumbs up. We were too full for dessert, but definitely next time. I really enjoyed Da Claudio and eager to return again. If in the Fidi area, check them out! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner for one of my coworkers. Made a reservation online, then called a day before to ask if we can get a booth. Person over the phone said no problem. We get there, no booth. It's alright though, we had a nice table in the middle. Shared some calamari to start. This was good, light and crunchy. Each of us had our own mains. I tried the amatriciana. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had the the right amount of heat and tanginess. Our server Kasy was amazing! She was very attentive, and made sure we were all taken care of. read more

Awesome spaghetti carbonara! Super quick and friendly service in a cloth napkin atmosphere. Weary travelers staying at the Moxy across the street, this is your haven. The raisin bread at the beginning of the meal was a nice touch. read more

This place was delicious, beautifully decorated, and with attentive service. I enjoyed the calamari to start, and both our entrees were great sizes. I was able to take some home and have for lunch the next day. The wine list is thoughtful and unpretentious. Such a gem in Fidi! read more

Food service and atmosphere were all perfect! I would recommend and will definitely return!!

We sat at the bar for a more casual experience. The Fritto Misto was a great starter; The calamari was cooked perfectly and not rubbery at all. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara and was disappointed that it didn't come with a yolk on top! Tried some of my friend's lasagna and was blown away by how good that was, so pretty sure I just ordered the wrong thing. Will get the lasagna if I ever return. Service was attentive! Extra cheese was shaved table-side. Nice bartender. read more

If I could give this place six stars and a confetti cannon, I would. From the moment I waddled through the door--yes, waddled, because I was emotionally hungry--you could feel this restaurant was special. Not "special" like your aunt's mystery casserole, but special like a warm hug from a garlic-scented unicorn. Let's start with the owner, who greeted us as if we were long-lost relatives returning from battle (or just traffic). The man is equal parts maestro, magician, and Mediterranean food philosopher. He floats from table to table with the energy of a caffeinated hummingbird and the grace of someone who truly lives for feeding people. I swear he sprinkled joy into my water. Tap water! Still delicious. Now, the service? Impeccable. Our server anticipated our needs like she had a crystal ball in the kitchen. I dropped my fork and--poof!--a new one appeared before it hit the floor. My glass never went empty, and my heart never stopped smiling. The whole staff operates like a synchronized swimming team--if the pool were full of olive oil and charisma. But the real star? The owner's son. Oh, bless this cherubic lad. I don't know if he's ten or twenty, but he runs around the place like a mini Gordon Ramsay if Gordon Ramsay were raised on hugs and focaccia. He delivered our dessert with the confidence of a French waiter and the joy of a puppy who just discovered peanut butter. He even drew a little smiley face on our receipt. I nearly cried. Oh, the food? Right. THE FOOD! Every bite was like a Disney movie in my mouth--animated, colorful, with a satisfying moral lesson at the end (don't skip dessert). The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce rich and complex like it had studied abroad in Naples. The garlic bread? So divine it should come with a hymn. I came for a meal. I left with a full belly, a full heart, and probably a legally binding friendship with the owner. If you're looking for sterile, impersonal fine dining, run far away. But if you're craving unforgettable food, warmth, and a restaurant family that may legally adopt you if you ask nicely--this is your spot. Will be returning. With friends. And the village. read more

We arrived in the City at 2 PM and made our way to the Beekman downtown. After getting set-up in our rooms, we made our way to Da Claudio, right around the corner. We were all starved, and were seated promptly just as the restaurant opened. Very cordial and helpful service. We ordered food quickly, all 5 of us going for pasta. One order of gnocchi, one spaghetti, one spinach fettucini with sausage, one lasagna and one mostacioli. All of these were great--especially the gnocchi, the lasagna and the spinach fettucini. Really great. This is the proof that the best italian food in America is in New York. The subtlety and complexity of flavors is just fantastic. Try to get to Da Claudio as soon as you can. read more

Had a family dinner one weekday at this place. We loved the food and the drinks. Nothing much to complain, but the food didn't knock our socks off for the price tag. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. We had walked in knowing its towards the expensive end, but expected a tad bit amp-ed up version of the food. Having said that, the kitchen staff here does a fabulous job plating the dishes. Its almost like art on the plate. Have a look at the salmon dish. My son said it tasted as good as it looked. However, my veg pasta was a little too al dente for my taste. Very colorful drinks and food. Overall food is fresh and tasty. Service is decent. Definitely worth visiting once! read more

Had dinner on an early Friday evening at Da Claudio when it was quiet (much more livelier by the time we were leaving). Very friendly service in a casual setting. Based on some of the other Yelp reviews, figured that we had to try the Lasagna and we weren't disappointed. It was a very nice version. The Caesar Salad was food and the Tiramisu and the Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert provided a nice finish. Worth a visit! read more

I came here for an after dinner drink. On a Wednesday night, the restaurant was not very busy. They have happy hour until 7pm. We sat at the bar, but they also have high top tables for drinks. For happy hour, they have cocktails for $12 and wine for $10. I got a margarita. It was made fresh to order, not from a mix. It was tasty. My sister got the rosemary gimlet and enjoyed it but said the rosemary flavor was very light. She also liked the whiskey sour. The bartender was courteous and attentive. He made sure we got in a final drink order before happy hour ended, which was very thoughtful. read more

i've visited twice whilst on work trips to nyc. each time i sat at the bar. the bartenders were friendly and helpful. the servers were prompt, and the ambiance was communal. there are some obvious regulars which is a good sign. the bucatini arrabbiata is very spicy, but flavourful. just be forewarned if you were expecting mild flavouring. the braised lamb shank was cooked perfectly and the puttanesca complemented it well. don't overlook their house-aged negroni. they spend 3 months in a cask before being bottled so the next batch can start. read more

Here to begin? The service was great. I asked which items were best and they gave me an honest opinion and did not push for a pricier items (as some places have done before) and she didn't lead me astray. The lasagna was delicious and in proper proportion. The servers are attentive but not pushy. They allow you to enjoy your experience. I'm glad I walked by and will definitely eat here again. It may be my new go-to place. read more

Great food and bartender! Felt welcomed and served well. I got the cavatelli, seasoned well with great sausage.

Amazing food and hospitality! Beautiful and relaxing atmosphere! Definitely a great place to dine in while in downtown Manhattan.
