    Plain slice with a coke
    Lawrence S.

    This spot is OFFICIAL! Definitely a Tribeca gem iykyk. Small but beautiful inside old New York vibes. Little Tv mounted above the prep station playing baseball. Wooden floors. No non sense staff. The chicken parm looks scrumptious. Made me kinda wish I ordered something else.

    So I was downtown and I needed a quick bite and my homie Mel from Bubbys told me about this spot. He said their Pizza is official.. So in NYC that means something.. So off I went to Il Mattone. I looked at their Pizzas on the counter and it did look official. So I copped me a slice.. And I must say.. This spot is a hidden gem down in this Tribecca neighborhood. I eat a lot of pizza and let me tell you... This spot will not disappoint! I mean I had to order another slice! That's how you know if a pizza is good. The slice had the perfect cheese to sauce ratio. The crust was crispy which I love. The sauce flavor was perfect. I could definitely taste a bit of oregano. But not overwhelming at all. It was so good. You can order slices, pies and they have other plates you can order. Service was good. It's a Pizza shop. Guys were super cool. It's a small spot so not much going on other than orders being taken and they have one 2 seater table.. It definitely came in handy as I sat down and enjoyed my 2 delicious Cheese slices. So if you're in the Tribeca neighborhood and you are craving some pizza, this will definitely do the job! Definitely will not disappoint. Will grab yourself a slice or something down here. Have a great one everyone !

    Il Matone serves up an amazing thin and crispy New York slice. There's a lot of construction scaffolding near the entrance, so it's kind of easy to miss if you're just walking by. The slices are well balanced with melty cheese and flavorful toppings. These slices have no flop. If you like your pizza thin and crispy, stop here for a slice or two. There's not really anywhere to sit, but eating a slice on the sidewalk adds to the New York experience.

    This was one of the best chicken parm vodka sandwiches we've ever had. I loved that it had a perfect amount of sauce ratio where it was dripping all over me but plenty for the sandwich and you could still taste the flavors of the cutlet. It's a to go place just fyi.

    Not a huge pizza fanatic, unlike dh, but we drove allllll the way down here to try the pizza on a recommendation of a friend. It's a small, old-school pizza shop with NO lighted sineage and a handwritten menu board. The staff was friendly, New York friendly, so if you are from outside of the tri-state area, suck it up, Buttercup. Dh got a Sicilian and a slice. I opted for the Hawaiian. (YES, PINEAPPLES BELONG ON PIZZA!) Husband loved his pizza and is raving on his yelp as I type this. Personally, I've had better Hawaiian, but what I did love was the quality of the crust. The pizza crust was firm without being too hard to execute a proper New York pizza fold. It also held its form and didn't flop (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially with a piping hot cheese pizza) The pineapple on this slice was obviously canned, and it wasn't grill charred like you can do with fresh pineapple slices. Because of dh, I know we will be back, so I'll try a basic traditional pepperoni or plain cheese slice and try it. I'll give it 3 because Hawaiian pizza isn't as easy to pull off, but the crust was good, and it tasted good if you don't know what a Hawaiian is supposed to taste like.

    The next day we ordered a pie with a grubhub delivery. First off they delivered it way quicker than I could have walked there and back. Next, it was nice and hot. Well worth whatever it cost. The pizza itself was awesome. Tons of cheese, sauce and sausage. They did a nice job on the pizza. I highly recommend this pizza shop. Very consistent. Good yesterday and good today.

    Small intimate, old style pizza joint. Limited seating is available on the outside of the restaurant. Courteous staff. They make sure you have everything you need before leaving. I ordered a regular slice and a slice of Sicilian. They offer the standard selection of drinks, Coke, Pepsi, Root Beer, etc. The pizza was delicious, consisting of the right balance of sauce and cheese. The crust wasn't greasy or floppy. I definitely will return.

Baba Al Rum was also tasty, as was the Orecchiette. Rigatoni was salty, but well-flavored. I visited a popular Italian restaurant from the Union Square Hospitality group with a group of five others. The restaurant is quite large, and although it was somewhat noisy, the tables were spaced apart enough that it was easy to hear everyone. We had an early dinner at 5:45 PM, which took quite a while, but I didn't mind. To drink, I went with the Bitter Giuseppe for $19, with Cynar 45.3, Punt e Mes, lemon, and sea salt. I'm a fan of most Negronis, and this was a particularly bitter version. The bit of lemon and sea salt added a unique but enjoyable flavor at the end, though in retrospect, the salt probably wasn't super necessary. Two of us split, and eventually, a few of us ordered their signature appetizer, the $18 Cast Iron Focaccia, with tomato conserva, a mixture of crushed tomatoes, olive oil, and Calabrian chili. The bread was fresh and warm, albeit a tad oily and salty, but it paired wonderfully with the conserva. As someone who doesn't like it when bread is extra, this was delicious and worth it. Another person ordered the $18 Insalata Verde. It was very large, but fairly basic, with a vinaigrette that had a citrusy and mustardy flavor. There was also the Caramelized Onion Torta for $27, which was very large, as expected for the price point. It had a creamy and tangy flavor from the Pecorino Toscano with some sweetness from the onion. It was delicious, but very heavy, and I would recommend that around three or four people split it alongside the focaccia. Finally, there was also the $15 Pizza Bianca, which was easily the smallest of all the plates, but they still enjoyed it. My main dish was the Orecchiette for $26, with ramps, pistachio, and pecorino. Like most of their dishes, the portion size was quite large, with plenty of pasta, which was perfectly cooked. The ramps added a touch of sweetness, although I would have liked a few more nuts. Additionally, there was almost too much pecorino, which made the dish slightly salty, but it was still enjoyable. As a side, I got the $19 Grilled Asparagus with dates, vermouth, and blue cheese, which came with many pieces of lightly charred asparagus. While there was plenty of funky blue cheese, I would have preferred more dates. Two of the others got the Rigatoni Alla Gricia for $30. The portion was large, and I tried a bit while they tried mine. The noodles were again cooked perfectly, and while there was a lot of guanciale, this was easily the saltiest of all the dishes. For dessert, I chose their Baba AU Rum for $18, which was uniquely mixed with chocolate and orange. The presentation was a bit off, as it looked like a certain emoji, but the flavor made up for it. The subtle hint of rum paired with the bitter-sweet chocolate and orange. The dark chocolate-covered orange slice on top was a nice touch as well. Someone else got a tart, and one other person got the Gelati, which resulted in one of the only faults during service. She heard it was two scoops, and ordered espresso stracciatella and hazelnut, but was given two separate orders for $12 each. The gelato was good, but unlike most things, definitely not worth it for the price. I liked the appetizers much more, but I found the food good overall. Tasty dessert, and the portions make up at least a bit for the relatively higher prices.

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!

Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

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!
