    Gnocchi
    Jackie K.

    The staff were really nice. The place was packed on Valentine's Day. They seated us in the back in the indoor garden. It was really cute. The bathroom is a little weird and not meant for a tall person. They gave us complimentary bruschetta. The pasta was amazing. I got gnocchi with butter (allergy request). The gnocchi were like pillows. The person I was with got the pumpkin ravioli and really liked it. The bread with oregano and olive oil that we ordered was amazing. A nice size portion too. He got the tiramisu and loved it. We'll be back to try more of the menu.

    Came here Saturday night with friends. There was no wait and we were seated promptly. The place is dim and has an interesting vibe, the decoration which has a lot of plants (not sure if real) throughout and even hanging on ceiling. By looking at the deco, I wouldn't have guessed it being an Italian spot. Got the Manhattan which was alright, I actually wanted an old fashion but I mixed up my order. For the table we get the antipasto which was solid, the salami was my fave. For my main I got the tagliatelle con Rague piselle ($22.88), which I could tell was fresh pasta and cooked perfectly. My friends also enjoyed their pastas. If you want tasty fresh pasta, I would recommend Gnocco. * Good service

    I was definitely at Gnocco to try the pizza. I got the Margherita. It's a thin crust Roman-style brick oven pizza. It's less soft and airy than let's say Neapolitan style. I really enjoyed the thinner crust. Nice location near Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. The service is friendly. I'll be back to try more of their menu.

    Margherita Pizza with mushrooms

    We've walked by Gnocco so many times and decided to try it for weekend brunch. They have a nice covered and heated back patio which was dog friendly. The menu is gigantic, with everything from pizzas, pastas, sandwiches to juices. Plus there's a boozy brunch menu if that's your thing. We decided to split a margherita pizza and the cheeseburger. The pizza was thin and crispy, with a well balanced sauce. The burger could have used some toppings, as it only has cheese on it. Otherwise it was pretty good. Gnocco is a good option if you're in the neighborhood. Will be back for the happy hour!

    Now around for a quarter century, Gnocco is now an LES classic. Gnocco is a terrific local Italian restaurant. The food, cocktails, service and atmosphere are all great. Whether for Saturday night or a lazy midweek dinner, Gnocco is a good choice b

    Tiramisu

    The food was good, but the service was even better. We came in without a reservation and were seated inside behind a loud table on a Friday night. There were two waiters who came by to take our order, and while we were waiting the second came by again to take sure we were okay because we hadn't ordered drinks. I was getting irritated by the large group as they were drunk and loud (I'm Japanese so more sensitive to sound than the usual American) and I told the waiter who seated who was sympathetic but couldn't reseat us. The food came which made things better (and the group left thank God). The fusilli picanti was full of flavor, the endive salad hit the spot, but the asparagus was way too salty. My partner wanted the tiramosu, which was just right: not too sweet. Bring cash: there's a bit of a discount if you do.

    I honestly loved the super thin style of pizza. The sauce felt very fresh and the crust was kinda chewy and crunchy. I loved the sauce even though I've heard complaints about it not being flavorful enough. To me, it was a perfect fresh sauce that made the pizza very light. What stole the show though is their tartufata pizza. If you love mushroom and truffle pizzas, you HAVE TO TRY the tartufata. I could not get enough of it. The truffle flavor was just right and not too overwhelming. Also it helped that I just like how thin their pizzas are! The passion fruit frozen marg was SO YUMMY and honestly kinda strong. I literally finished mine in 2 sips because it was absolutely delicious. Our servers were super kind as well and the place is nice, kinda rustic!

    Uova Benedettine Brunch
    Jani M.

    The food at Gnocco was alright. We had bottomless brunch, pizza, and what thought was their version of eggs benedict. The food was a little cold, and the eggs didn't have hollandaise sauce, making it quite dry. The pizza was mediocre. The atmosphere and ambiance were very pretty. They have a cute backyard garden seating area, but we opted to sit inside because it was extremely humid. The service was decent. Our waitress was a bit all over the place. It was an okay place to get a quick bite.

    We went here after my son had swimming lessons since he was very hungry. I looked up places in the area and Gnocco hit my feed. We walked here and asked to sit in the back indoor outdoor courtyard area, which is very beautiful. The music they played added to the atmosphere of the place. My son had a margarita pizza to himself and devoured it. The sauce was on point and flavorful, and the end crust was perfectly cooked and thin. The middle, however, was a little soggy. I ordered the burrata with black truffle. The bread was tasty with the burrata and black truffle. I really took advantage of their bottomless brunch for 1.5 hrs;) I got to try their margarita, white sangria, red sangria, and bloody mary. My favorites were the standard margarita and the white sangria, which had a peach taste to it. The server was attentive, always asking if we wanted more drinks and clearing away spent items. The waiter gave thumbs up when people said they were enjoying their meal. We did not feel rushed and enjoyed our time here.

    Honestly, I thought the food was just okay, but the service and the ambience took the trophy. My friend and I came to work as part of their system where they open up their tables for people to come in, eat, and do work. They essentially transform into that classic cafe where you do work but instead it's a restaurant where you do work. There's free wifi, outlets, plenty of seating, and it's just total and complete vibes. My friend and I came in at the exact time they opened the space and we stayed until 5pm. I thought maybe they'd kick us out at some point-- nope. We stayed all that time and they were so kind in coming by to offer us more drinks/food, being okay with it if we didn't want any at that time (we honestly ended up buying more solely because we wanted to give them the business after how long we'd been there). We worked in the "outdoor" space (it's actually indoor but they let light in), which has plenty of lighting as well as outlets. I ordered a lemonade, mochaccino, freshly squeezed juice (pineapple, orange, strawberry), and the rigatoni pasta dish. The pasta was super al dente and had good flavor, albeit a little bit salty. I think the juice was my winner for today. When they said fresh, they mean FRESH. The pulp from the orange was still in there, and I could taste some of the strawberry seeds as well. While I was expecting a smoothie-esque drink, it was definitely a juice. I felt like I could taste each of the fruits that were in there which was a WIN. I want to gatekeep this so badly because this studying space is genuinely incredible, but I wish them the world and more people need to know about it. I'll 100% be back to get more work done!

    Great brunch spot!! Came here for birthday brunch with my friends, there were about 10 of us. The birthday girl made a reservation in advance and was able to change the number of people last minute. The seating in the indoor patio is so pretty with a garden vibe feeling to it. We did the $43 brunch deal which is a brunch course with bottomless (drink of your choice from the menu) for 90 minutes. Our waiter was great, she kept coming over to refill our drinks-even when they weren't completely done :) she was also super friendly! The food was nice for the deal, I got the omelette that is an option with the brunch deal and had a great amount of fries, salad, and egg! My friends also loved their pastas and vegan options. Overall I would definitely come back for a brunch event!!

    Came here for pizza for lunch last summer and it was very lively inside with big groups. I love truffle and their pizza was good although it was on the thinner side. I would want to come back to try their bottomless brunch next time

    Gnocchi Al Pomodoro
    Naela N.

    Started off with a pumpkin espresso martini and it was the perfect fall cocktail. The gnocchi was made so well and it was a good portion. Lastly we got the tiramisu which was also so good. It wasn't too heavy of a dessert. The ambiance of the place was great and the service was great even though it was busy.

    Very nice decor. Friendly staff. Excellent pizza but way too small at a main course price. Too bad.

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.

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!

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
