    Very good meal, first time at Locanda Verde in the super nice Tribeca neighborhood. Shared the Caesar salad, pappardelle lamb bolognese and garlic chicken. Everything was great, especially the pasta. Had a good glass of wine and finished the meal with a delicious lemon tart that came with a scoop of butterscotch ice cream. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance and decor were very nice though the service was a little off this evening, resulting in the loss of a 5th star and detracting slightly from an otherwise very good dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Went to Locanda Verde on a Friday night for dinner with a reservation. We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation but unfortunately, it took them 30 minutes past our scheduled time to seat us. We were stood waiting at the bar for a while and had to follow up a couple times with the hostess. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was packed and busy on a Friday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gorgeous interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks were great and food was also good. Their beef tartare was the best I've ever had, I would go back for that dish alone.

    Visited Locanda Verde on a Monday for a friend's birthday dinner. There were about seven of us, and we were seated at a large round table toward the front of the restaurant. It was not completely full, but there was still a fair amount of people dining and gathered at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is inviting, with a large bar, dark wood finishes, and low lighting that gives it an upscale, cozy feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was attentive, courses were well-paced, and our water glasses were consistently refilled. We started with the whipped ricotta ($25), focaccia ($15), and the Insalata D'Andrea (arugula, apple, almond, asiago, $26). We enjoyed the started and salad (though portion sizes were on the smaller side), and we also ordered a bottle of Montepulciano, which was on the lower end of the wine list but still not inexpensive. The wine was excellent. For mains, we each ordered individual pastas, and we shared the Brussels sprouts, which were very tasty and quite rich but on the smaller side portion-wise. Pasta gluten-free options were limited, there was one gluten-free pasta (fusilli) that could be substituted into certain dishes. I ordered the lamb bolognese ($35) with the gluten-free fusilli. The portion was generous and topped with a large dollop of whipped ricotta. While it is a decent option if you need gluten-free, I would not go out of my way for it, the dish did not stand out enough to justify the price point. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which was a unique take, very heavy on the cream, served in a large bowl, and topped with whole espresso beans. It was interesting but quite rich, making it difficult to have more than a few bites. The staff also brought out a complimentary ice cream with a candle for the birthday, which was a thoughtful touch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, this is a great spot for an upscale birthday dinner, work dinner, or drinks at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, if you are looking for more authentic or standout Italian cuisine, I would suggest going elsewhere.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Easily accessible large space by the Chambers st stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I showed up early and got a drink, la sporcarita, at the bar. It was spicy with the right kick. We shared the insalata d'andrea which was tasty but expensive at 26 dollars. I got the black shells frutti Di mare. I prefer my squid ink pasta to be in the form of spaghetti. It came with a tomato sauce with a nice array of seafood. But it wasn't the best I've had and it wasn't super special to make me want to try again. Lastly the olive cake was pretty good. Overall a good place to catch up with friends with decent food but not something to write home about.

    Grandmother's Ravioli and eggplant sandwich with chickpea salad
    Keke ..

    It had been 10 years since my last visit (which was for dinner), so I decided to come back for lunch with a friend visiting NYC for the first time from Atlanta. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The food was very bland. My friend's eggplant sandwich and my ravioli were both underwhelming, and the ravioli portion was shockingly small -- more like an appetizer than an entrée. I was still hungry and ordered the steak tartare, which came with corn nuts on top. I've never had crunchy steak tartare before, and it was just odd and off-putting. It also lacked flavor and desperately needed salt. The service was equally disappointing. We waited 7-8 minutes just to get menus, had to track someone down for water refills, and my friend actually had to get up and find someone so we could get the check. The one bright spot was the maitre d', who was very kind and apologized for the experience. She encouraged me to come back for dinner service, which I may do in a few weeks. I'm hoping for a much better experience next time.

    Lamb meatball slider

    At first I thought with the name it would be Spanish, but turns out it's an Italian spot in Greenwich. The appetizers were solid - the toasted bread with olive oil and what looked like eggplant or wild mushroom puree (I'll ask the guy who ordered) was fantastic, tasty and a good toasty treat without being too hard on the palate. The lamb meatball sliders were top heavy and ok. Regular sliders probably would've been the way to go. Steak tartare was good. Gabagool and grana was capicola and and a hard cheese which was ok, but not easy to eat - heavy/oily. The pappardelle with lamb bolognese was ok, overly salty - ended up eating most of the pasta (some of the sheets stuck together, though, so that wasn't edible), and leaving much of the lamb bolognese (greasy, but better than the meatball sliders). The fresh ricotta and mint helped cut the oil a bit and I was left wanting more of that. Good thing - service was quick and efficient and knowing the business nearby (Citi) they asked us how fast we needed to be out - and they kept us mostly on-time, nicely enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor inside was dark woods and bottles all over of liquor and wine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms downstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have some private dining spaces and they were packed at lunchtime on a Wednesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I'm always cautious going into overly popular restaurants as I find they often don't live up to the hype. I can confidently say I was blown away by Locanda Verde. Genuinely everything we had was without note and was purely delectable. We started with the Caesar salad and focaccia, which were both great. For pastas we had the black shells with seafood and the Bolognese. I genuinely have zero complaints about either and I'm a very tough critic when it comes to my Italian, pasta especially. We then had the Bronzino and eggplant Parm. Both were great, but I must say this is some of the absolute best eggplant Parm I've ever had. In terms of drinks, the espresso martini was fabulous. The bottle of wine we had was great and the only potential negative from this dinner was the dirty martini I ordered which was not dirty at all though someone else at the table called it " one of the most well-balanced martinis" he's had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was excellent and ambience divine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I will 1000% be coming back to Locanda Verde and would recommend this as a spot anyone hit in NYC.

    The wine I had was good

    OK, so I did return. This time with a party of four. The hostess was very nice and sadness in literally almost the same section that we were seated in before. Maybe this is the bad thing. Our waiter came up and asked if we wanted to order drinks told us he would be leaving and that he wasn't going to be our waiter. Then he came back and said I guess I'm staying. I guess his unhappiness is what created this recent visit bad experience. Let's start with a drink order. The two men ordered their cocktails and for a scotch and a tequila it literally took forever to arrive. I ordered an Apperal spritz to start, and that came with the glass half full. The other lady had a margarita which she barely touched. Onto the food, let me start by saying the order was screwed up, but that what came was actually delicious. We ordered the dry age steak because it would've been enough for the whole table. What came was a strip steak sliced on a plate with a tomato and basil sauce. It was tender and delicious but almost embarrassing that it was literally enough for one maybe two. We ordered the Italian broccoli, the carrots and the potatoes all were very good. Our happy waiter returned to say there was a mixup, and that this was not the dry aged steak we ordered. By the time he realized it, we were almost done with our Meal just said forget it. instead, we ordered another round of drinks which we should've just got up left and went to another bar to get service because those drinks took longer than the first order of drinks. We did order the lemon tart and the tiramisu for dessert both were beautiful and both were delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think the cachet of this restaurant, it's location is why it is constantly packed. Plus, the food is always consistently good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, it still suffers with bad service. I was looking at my last review and it's been quite some time and that has not improved. So it will be quite some time before we return here. Note to restaurant - get the service right here. It's too good to a restaurant to get a bad review for bad service.

    We arrived pretty early for our reservation and already felt that the place was a little too pompous. The host/esses mostly gave us strange looks and said we will be seated closer to our time so we went and got drinks. When we came back, we were seated at a "cocktail table" which was not big enough for app plates, let alone dinner. I asked the hostess to move us, which she reluctantly did to a a table with booth chairs and she made it a point to keep repeating that the tables were the same size. Yes, I told her they are but the booth seats give us a little room. It felt like she wanted to "hide" us from the rest of the room. She rolled her eyes and off she went. The server was pretty slow to approach us, took about 10 min just to get water, think the sommelier saw us struggling so he came over and suggested a lovely bottle, we finally thought, oh, here is the service we expected. About 10 min later, server came over and got us bottle water and vanished again. Now, what was bothering us was there was a 6 top in front of us and a 2 top next to us who were getting all of his "time". We barely even got a look anytime he passed by the table. The sommelier came back and asked us if anyone came over, which we said not for awhile so he went to go find someone. Another few minutes later, server returns and we have a few questions, ask if he had any suggestions. He responded quickly and didn't really seem to want to help so we ordered and he seemed to not care about us at all. Fifteen minutes later, bus person came over and we asked for bread which she suggested the focaccia, we asked if we can get it before our meals? She said sure and got the server, he said no since our meals were on their way and left. Again, all his time was going to the tables outside of us. When the food finally came (and yes, we had time), the lasagna and eggplant were delicious! In the middle of this, we get the focaccia which was inedible and we said, we didn't order this and didn't want it at the end of our meal. Server looked pretty annoyed and took it and was reprimanding the bus person in the corner. Not cool. Best part of our evening was the food though. We didn't see any service again except from Chris, the sommelier and when we had dirty plates in front of us and dessert was mentioned. Again, we asked for suggestions and he seemed annoyed. We ordered and said to each other, we never return. While, the food was amazing, the lack of attention for a $200 dollar +++ meal is not what we expected from the Locanda Verde family ( as we go to Tribeca). It was frustrating. I felt that if we were in the and I hate to say this, "visually aesthetic look" though we were dressed for a night out, we would have received better attention. I am truly disappointed and wish I chose another location to dine at.

    Enjoyed our lunch here. Staff were fantastic. The ricotta with the grilled bread is still one of my favorite things to eat. The frittata was nicely cooked, but it should have been served with salad or potatoes as changing $16 for a side of potatoes is a little excessive. The cocktail was very nice too. Will go back of course as it's an NYC staple.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice upscale Italian in the Tribeca area with a great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a reservation and were a little late so we sat in the lobby and had a cocktail. The servers continued to come in and check on us as we waited. The food was fantastic, the gnocchi was light and practically melts in your mouth. The goatsmilk ricotta and crostinis alone i could crush fantastic flavor. Great wine list that paired nicely with the courses and the servers were fantastic with giving guidance on what would pair nicely. Def not on the cheaper side but def worth trying it for a nice date night or a business.

    They were two weeks ago.

    Do they have a lot of vegan options?

    Vegetarian options, yes! Vegan options, not so much. Many of their non-meat dishes contain at least cheese or egg.

    Do they have heaters or blankets for outdoor dining?

    Except the heaters don’t work. They are apparently for show

    Is this place dog friendly?

    I'm not sure you should call

    Do they have lamb chop?

    They did not have them on the menu when I was there.

    Can this restaurant accommodate a private wedding for 50 people or so? We're interested in having a very private wedding with close friends and family and had heard about this restaurant in a website....

    Yes they have a lovely private room and we've had several events there. Be aware the food is served family style.
