    As classy as they come. Joseph's is that old school Italian joint in Fi-Di where you know you'll get a quality meal. My aunt lives in FiDi so it's always nice coming downtown to spend time with her. This is one of her go to spots and she wanted to see what I thought of it. For a Wednesday night there was a decent crowd. I could tell they were mostly regulars there. The staff was impeccable. Not too pushy but made she we had everything we needed. I started with the buffalo mozzarella. The pesto was what stood out. It was so well made. The whole appetizer was light. I tried one of my aunt's shrimp which she ordered to start and that was also quite delicious. The main event was a veal piccata. You could cut the veal with a spoon, that's how tender it was. The sauce was incredible. It came with a small medley of veggies. All so delicious. Now I was the only one who ordered off the pre-fixed menu, so mine came with a dessert. It was all about the cheesecake. Again, another light dish and the perfect way to end the meal. My aunt and uncle got the tiramisu. I don't usually go near a tiramisu because of the coffee component. They urged me to try it and I have to say... it was also delicious. More boozy than coffee which I can get behind. All around a great meal and a great place to catch up with my fam.

    My new favorite spot for upscale and classic northern Italian cuisine. The food was delish, and the ambiance was even better. I was seated near a cozy fireplace and it was just the perfect dinner. The service was also super attentive, and we were recommended the perfect dishes for our meal. Can't wait to come back again!

    A group of us serve on a not-for-profit Board and were in New York for meetings. I decided to make a reservation at Joseph's for dinner one evening. From the welcome to the recommendations for dinner, service was outstanding! Warmly welcomed. Seated right away. I had pre-requested separate checks and was told "not a problem". We enjoyed a leisurely dinner with appetizers, wine and some dessert. A friend and her shared the mixed green salad (which they split into 2 plates) and the Bronzino (again on 2 plates) with a side of grilled vegetables- cooked to perfection! Another friend had the halibut and enjoyed every bite. For dessert we shared the cannoli and the tiramisu- Wow! GET THE CANNOLI!! True Italian cooking. Outstanding service! From the first bite to the last - everything was great!

    My boyfriend & I went to Joseph's during NYC Winter Restaurant Week and had a lovely experience. We went on a Friday night, and the restaurant was surprisingly not very busy, and it worked to our advantage because we had such excellent wait-service. It seemed that all waiters were honed in on us having a lovely evening. We ordered a bottle of wine off of the recommendation of our waiter and ordered the following: His: Eggplant Rollatini, Veal Picatta, and Cheesecake Hers: Gulf shrimp, Rigatoni alla vodka, and tiramisu Everything was fantastic, and for $42 each, such a steal! We both agreed that the eggplant appetizer and rigatoni alla vodka stole the show. I would recommend coming here for a romantic Italian meal anytime, even outside of Restaurant Week.

    This is an Italian spot in the Financial District. It's got a bit of a clubby feel to it. Like super dark, blue lighting, modern, curtains, etc. I opted to sit at the bar as I was dining solo. The bartender apparently had a couple people she knew sitting at the bar. So I was essentially ignore the entire time while she focused on her friends down at the end of the bar. The menu is plentiful. I opted for my NY fav, pasta alla vodka. It was good and tasty. Not the best, but satisfied my craving. A perfectly sized portion. Wine list is decent. Can't say I'd return. But it was fine in the moment.

Even if we wouldn't have gotten a window table and it wasn't Christmas, the vibes and interior of this place would have still been great. We went in December night of 2024 so some aspects of the menu have changed however, most of the dishes still appear to be on their menu as of now, June 2026. It appears most changes comes to the type of pasta used in a dish, aspects around a dishes main focus and gelato/dessert flavors. Everything we ordered was an 8 or above out of 10. The beet salad (BARBABIETOLE) is easily 10/10 and a top 3 salad we have ever had. The chocolate cake with gelato (TORTINO DI CIOCCOLATO) was 10/10 and the best dessert we had at Da Andrea. We ordered 3 total, including the ricotta cheesecake and tiramisu. Tuna Tartare, gorgonzola pasta and bolognese are 9's. The fritto misto, the other pasta we ordered and the other 2 desserts are 8's. If you're in New York make reservations and go. My Wife found this place and made reservations. Only thing I regret after looking at additional photos is not ordering the grilled pork chop.

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 really enjoyed our counter dining experience at L'Artusi, especially the chance to watch the…read morebustling open kitchen in action. 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!

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp. Caesar was nicely dressed and the mixed salad was a nice combination with well balanced herb vinaigrette. Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative. The ricotta based cheese cake wasn't as smooth as the cream cheese form but the citrus flavor was great.

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!
