    If you want excellent Ecuadorian food then come here. The soups are amazing and the "Bolon Mixto" is great. I will definitely back!

    Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka: Delicious, easily one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. The…read moreconsistency and flavor of the sauce was perfect. The pasta was also cooked to perfection. Chicken Piccata: Wasn't one of the best I ever had. Chicken was tender and cooked nicely. The flavor of the pan sauce was good. However, I had better and could find a lot of places, especially in NY, with just as good or better. Caesar Salad: They definitely do not skimp on the parmesan, which is the best thing about the salad. The lettuce was fresh and of good quality. I will say, the dressing wasn't great and the amount of lemon juice overpowered the whole dish. The service leaned more towards good than average but not over the top like most places in NY. The ambiance was great but that had more to do with the fact that we went during Christmas. Can you beat dinner at an Italian place in NY during Christmas? Maybe but it's few and far between.

    My friend and I came here on a spur of the moment decision. I've been wanting to try this place and…read moreI happen to be in the area. I didn't make any reservations and we were able to be sat right away during lunch time. We got the spicy vodka rigatoni with chicken cutlet, and the baked clams to share. We were absolutely blown away and didn't expect the food to be this good. Highly highly recommended, I will absolutely come again to try more of the menu.

    NYC has no shortage of incredible Italian restaurants, so we had a hard time deciding where to go…read more Osteria Nonnino had great reviews and was conveniently located near our hotel in Chelsea, so we decided to meet some friends there. It had rained earlier in the day, so we couldn't sit on the patio, but the indoor and outdoor spaces were both super quaint and inviting. They even have a giant Parmesan cheese wheel for pasta if that's your thing! We went with the chicken parm and pesto gnocchi, and both were delicious. The chicken parm was truly the size of the plate! We also enjoyed espresso martinis and unfortunately had no room for dessert. We ended up walking the Chelsea Piers afterward just to digest everything before heading home.

    We had a great experience at Osteria Nonnino! From the moment we walked in, the service was…read moreoutstanding. Everyone was friendly, patient, smiling, and happy to make recommendations, which made us feel very welcome. The ambiance was also lovely. It had a warm, cozy, authentic Italian feel that made it a great spot for a date night. We ordered the vodka chicken parm special and the Rigatoni Nonnino (penne alla vodka with finely ground sausage). The vodka chicken parm was our favorite. The vodka sauce was rich, creamy, and incredibly flavorful, and the chicken filet was perfectly cooked. My only complaint was that the pasta portion was pretty small compared to the size of the chicken. The Rigatoni Nonnino was also delicious, but the sausage seasoning overpowered the vodka sauce a bit, so it wasn't as pronounced as it was in the chicken parm. For dessert, we shared the mousse cake, and it was amazing. It seemed to have layers of chocolate, hazelnut, and pistachio mousse over a chocolate cake base, topped with chocolate sauce. It was light, rich without being too heavy, and the perfect portion for two people to share. Overall, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service was exceptional. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Osteria Nonnino to anyone looking for a delicious Italian meal.

    A lot of New Yorkers will tell you this is their favorite burger in the city…read more Pastis was one of the most popular restaurants in New York during the sex and the city era, but it shut down for five years before reopening a few blocks away in 2019, only then introducing it's now famous Cheeseburger à l'Américaine. - Two smashed patties with crispy edges, American cheese, pickles, and house sauce on a bun from Balthazar bakery...same owner. Before that - the steak sandwich was the thing to order - sliced steak, melted Gruyère, and caramelized onions on a crusty baguette. Rich and beefy, with no filler. Nowadays - it's a tough choice. Torn between old and new, classic and reborn, my brother and I executed a perfect double split. We also ordered the French onion soup for the table - it's a thing of beauty - as cheesy as a French onion soup NEEDS to be, and just full of rich flavor. You can take turns dipping their excellent French fries into it, or better yet...dip the whole damn sandwich in there. And the fried artichoke appetizer - this is my kind of veggie - crispy edges...butter everywhere. This meal demands a martini or two - it's that kind of moment. I eat one or two burgers every trip to New York and I still can't keep up, but I really enjoyed this one, and I hope I can come back to try their brunch soon.

    Pastis is legendary because it helped teach New York what the Meatpacking District could become…read more When it opened in 1999, it was one of the engines of a neighborhood transforming from industrial edge into a place where fashion, nightlife, and all day dining could coexist. If Balthazar is Bergdorf Goodman, Pastis has always felt closer to Dover Street Market: younger, more creative, a little less formal, and completely fluent in downtown style. My first instinct was actually Barneys, which feels even more accurate on a vintage-adjusted basis, but using a departed institution to describe one that famously closed and then rose from the ashes felt almost too neat. Over the years, I've eaten here many times, both at the original location and since its revival with Stephen Starr, and it has never disappointed. The burger is excellent, I'm fairly certain I've had the steak frites and seafood here, and I still remember noticing someone else's lobster frites and immediately making a mental note for another visit. The people-watching is reliably first-rate, but so are the details that make Pastis unmistakably Pastis: the flowers, clocks, white tile, vintage mirrors, and beautifully worn finishes that have since been imitated by countless restaurants. What fascinates me now is the brand's arc. Pastis began as a pioneer in a Meatpacking District that was still gritty, neglected, and changing at extraordinary speed, then closed, returned with Stephen Starr as a partner, and began an entirely new chapter. That evolution feels fitting: McNally's original downtown instinct joined with a Philadelphia hospitality juggernaut, and a restaurant once associated with the frontier of a changing neighborhood has grown into a commercial pillar in vibrant markets well beyond New York. Few restaurants have influenced the visual language of modern brasserie dining as thoroughly while remaining this enjoyable to eat and drink at. Pastis now stretches into Washington, Nashville, and South Florida, with Miami already thriving and Palm Beach on the way, and I genuinely want to experience them all. There is something satisfying about watching a place that once helped make an overlooked neighborhood fashionable become a durable institution capable of anchoring destinations elsewhere. The Meatpacking original will always be the reference point for me.
