The interior has Italy vibes and I really enjoyed the well lit patio. The service is always impeccable and Carlos lived up to the compliment. Tended to us with the upmost care and recommended great items. The olive oil that accompanied the complimentary bread was outstanding. Not only was it memorable, but I immediately purchased a "Bambino" sized can, immediately after the meal. I included photos of the can. I started with the Watermelon Refresher (Fresh Watermelon Puree, lemon juice, simple syrup) Mocktail. It was refreshing, VERY GOOD, and recommended! The entrees were: Rigatoni alla Vodka (spicy tomato, cream sauce) and the Mezzi Rigatoni alla Forno (Beef & Pork Ragu, peas, caciocavello). I cannot compliment these two dishes, enough. Both were creamy, savory, and mouth-watering. The portions were optimal and the freshness of every ingredient was obvious and appreciated. Even the dessert was ideal. I had one scoop of Chocolate Gelato and a Macchiato. Their presentations were very nice and both were perfect to end the meal. Sicily Osteria will continue to be one of my top options on Restaurant Row and hope everyone gets to experience this fine eatery.

Food came pretty quick-- after being informed kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. Chicken parm was good, pasta & gnocchi was better. Freshly baked bread. However, our server was increasingly distracted. Talking to co-workers while we waited on multiple requests 2-3x. Then he realized he forgot & then brought our request. Totally understood if it was slamming busy but was not. Bill arrives at $100, but charge machine says $180 ($80 over what we ordered). Almost signed but flagged & fixed by server. I don't know if this was an egregious mistake or deliberate tourist scam (in the dim light, 8 almost looked like a 0 (as bill was almost signed without looking). The heavy hitting combo definitely screams to any future customer: stay away! Will not return.

It has a bit of the classic dinner spot vibe with servers dressed for an occasion, leather booths, huge bar and great energy. Our server was spot on with the right level of attention, offering suggestions, and having a fun interaction with us about the Broadway scene. Food was actually really good and we enjoyed all that we ordered. Definitely not a "tourist trap" and not something to overlook.

Made a reservation online a few days ahead and everything was smooth from the second we walked in. Service was genuinely great. Our servers kept checking in at exactly the right moments, never hovering, never disappearing. We started with the Caprese and the Parmigiana di Melanzane, and both were excellent, the eggplant especially. For entrees we split the Paccheri al pomodoro con nduja e burrata and the Cavatelli alla Norma -- the paccheri had a nice kick from the nduja and the burrata made it extra rich. The cavatelli was cooked perfectly. Just the right amount and kept room for dessert. They found out it was my birthday and brought out a cannoli with a candle and sang to me, which was a nice surprise and made the night feel extra special. Great food, great service, comfortable spot, and close to where we were staying. We'll be back next time we're in the city.

It is a quaint and intimate restaurant, and while it was packed when we got there, I couldn't believe we secured a last minute dinner reservation.

This will definitely be a a return spot for our ext trip to NYC!

Everything came out…read morereally quickly, everyone was incredibly accommodating, and our waitress gave us the most important piece of advice of the meal: always add the burrata. We got the campanelle with burrata, a bright and creamy shrimp pasta (spicier than we expected) which was absolutely delicious. We also had the tagliatelle with burrata, which is a rich bolognese with really deep, savory flavors. The two pastas were very different from each other, and both were excellent. We started with the heirloom tomato appetizer with watermelon and feta, which was super fresh and bright and a great way to start the meal. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and airy, and combined with the genuinely lovely service, it made for a great weekend lunch date.

They have 3 locations but we chose this one because it serves pizza. The ambience was amazing, and surprisingly the place was almost full even at that time. For drinks, I had the strawberry Nojito, which was quite refreshing, while my husband had a Pinot Noir. For mains, we ordered the Rigatoni Pasta with Burrata (from the add ons) and Margherita Pizza. The pasta was decent but a little too chewy for us, even considering it was al Dante. The pizza was good. The highlight was definitely the olive oil cake which comes with cream and berries which was a really good combination. We loved it!! Overall a decent meal with a lovely ambiance. PS: Our server Jose was very kind, checked on us throughout the meal, and was funny too. He took a selfie with us when we asked him to click our pictures

Our server was awesome and funny, and she even gave us a free cocktail that the bartender mistakenly made. The decor is lovely as well. There's a bathroom on the ground level and more down a set of stairs. The food was delicious. For our party of four, we ordered: - Pizza Bianca (basically foccacia) - 3/5, not a dish I would order again since it didn't really do anything for me. I like my focaccia fluffier - Side of Roasted Asparagus (Asparagi) - 5/5, perfectly salted. Ate so much of this. - Side of Broccoli Rabe (Cime di Rapa) - 4/5, it was fine but I def preferred the asparagus. - Chitarra ai gamberi e limone - 5/5, soooo good. So simple but delicious. - Tiramisu - 5/5, also delicious and cute it comes in like a coffee cup. It was also cute that the restaurant staff put a candle in it and sang to our friend for her birthday. I also requested a mocktail, and the bartender made a delicious cucumber spritz. All in all, I had a great dinner and would love to return!

We also ended up ordering dinner. I ordered the black truffle pasta which hit the spot after consuming two different spritzes. My friend got the salmon, unfortunately she did not like her dish and exchanged it for a shrimp salad. To end the night I ordered a tiramisu. Service was great but when we got our check I personally felt tested when I saw the price of my cocktails. Both spritzes were initially priced a regular non-happy hour prices so that was resolved prior to payment. Verify that the check was correct because the system is not perfect. Great spot for extended happy hour.

Nicole, our server, was a patient and gracious host as she guided us through the menu and answered our questions. She explained that everything on the menu is locally sourced and the farm sources are listed on a board displayed in the dining room. Truly farm to table! Even the wines are all from NY State. (I was especially happy to see the Wolffer Estate Rose from Long Island on the wine list.) We started with several appetizers: deviled eggs (with pesto, carrots, garlic and duck prosciutto); oven-roasted chicken wings (chili maple glaze and homemade ranch sauce) and local burrata (with herbed breadsticks, basil walnut pesto, aged balsamic and cherry tomatoes). Each app was a flavor explosion that brought smiles all around our tables. The entrees continued hitting all the right notes. Their wood fired meatloaf, made from Hudson Vally beef and stuffed with kale, vegetables, herbs and blue cheese, is unlike any you've ever had and may keep you from ever having meatloaf anywhere else. The wood roasted cod picatta (white wine reduction with asparagus & cherry tomatoes served in a small skillet) was amazingly moist and flavorful. The maple marshmallow s'mores was a decadent way to end our great meal there. The restaurant is deep and narrow, but cozy and welcoming, with staff that is talented and friendly. We want to come back and try more items on the menu, including pizza and their short ribs.

We made reservations for a family dinner while visiting New York, and I'm so glad we did. This charming, cozy restaurant is very narrow, and even though they've made great use of every inch of space, seating is definitely limited. One of the first things I noticed was that many tables were sharing dishes family-style. Personally, I think that's the best way to experience The Marshal. The plates tend to be on the smaller side, so ordering a few dishes to share lets everyone sample more of the menu. The food was excellent. We started with the deviled eggs and the burrata salad, and both were delicious. I ordered the cod, which had incredible flavor, although the portion felt a bit small for the price. My husband had one of the pizzas and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The restaurant was packed during our visit, so the service reflected a busy evening--but in the best way. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. We never felt forgotten, and every time someone stopped by, they made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing worth mentioning is how incredibly close the tables are. They actually have to pull the table out so you can sit down because there's only a few inches between neighboring tables. We definitely became part of the conversations happening on both sides of us! I understand why they've chosen to maximize seating, but if you're looking for an intimate, private dinner, it's something to keep in mind. Overall, we had a wonderful evening. The food, atmosphere, and friendly service far outweighed the tight seating, and we wouldn't hesitate to return the next time we're in New York.
