We have been coming here for years and everytime the food is consistently delicious. One dish I have to get everytime is the occhi. Its like a burst of goodness when you bite into it. We love taking friends here who have never been and they always love it!! read more

Mid. Pasta was boring with one-note flavors. Not understanding why this place is so popular. One of our plates had a hair in it. For a place known for pasta I was unimpressed with the unremarkable dishes. The butter beans okay but also gave lean cuisine vibes. Service was slow. read more

Finally scored a Resy Notify for this reservation and it was well worth it! We got a reservation around 5 or 5:30 I wanna say and within minutes of us getting there, the restaurant went from empty to bustling and packed in what felt like a manner of minutes! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the large windows allow for wonderful lighting - first, for happiness and second, for the Gram. We tried a bunch of different things that were all delicious. What really struck me was how simple these dishes were yet packed with a delightful combination of flavors. Of all that we tried, would highly recommend the whipped ricotta, mezze rigatoni, and ricotta- filled occhi. I came here a few months ago and cannot recall the gelato flavors but we tried all three and were not disappointed in the least. I hope to come back here soon!! read more

Misi is a very dependable place for good service, high quality pasta, and delicious vegetable forward dishes. The restaurant is light and bright, with bar seating as well as many tables. I had a reservation, but I know they also do take walk ins for the bar seats. My favored veggie dish is the grilled baby artichokes with a mint salsa verde, and the pasta dishes that I always order and that never disappoint are the Sheep's Milk Ricotta filled Occhi and the Spinach and Mascarpone filled Tortelli. There have been some new additions to the menu since my last visit, so I wanted to try the Gnocchi Sardi and the Gnocchi di Ricotta. Of the two, I think I preferred the Gnocchi Sardi with the pork sausage sugo and saffron just because I feel it had a bit more depth of flavor. Overall, Misi is a great place to share a meal with friends (if you can snag a reservation) or even go solo. Sometimes I wish they offered some kind of bread/focaccia option, but I am always so happy to dine here. read more

Beautiful space & great service. Friend snagged a reservation on a Tuesday night. We got the infamous ricotta toast, grilled artichokes, and 3 pastas. The toast was delicious and lived up to the hype. I thought the pastas were good but life changing; my favorite was the tortellini. Overall, a great place if you can get a spot! read more

Misi blew my mind and definitely lived up to the hype in my opinion - I definitely like it more than Lilia in the debate between the two. I loved the Misi Spritz to start - it was not too sweet and was the same as the one at Lilia. DO NOT skip the ricotta toast - the texture and freshness of the ricotta was perfect, and the mushrooms served with it were very flavorful and I could have eaten them on their own, As for the pastas, do not skip the Spinach/Ricotta Tortelli - this was my favorite of the evening, and the Chickpea Parpadelle and Rigatoni were also delicious. The Double Chocolate Chip Gelato is so rich and tasty. I would 100% come back! read more

10/10 experience here! Misi is a more casual vibe and easier reservation than their sister restaurant Lilia. Still an excellent environment and ideal for a date. Saw plenty of couples here. My friends and I were able to get a weekend dinner reservation within a day. The standout is definitely the whipped ricotta toast with rotating seasonal toppings. The ricotta is plentiful and I only wished I had more toast. Definitely recommend ordering the spinach tortellini (brown butter tastes amazing) but you can't go wrong with any pasta dish. I was a huge fan of the olive oil gelato. read more

I am extremely shocked and disappointed in my experience for my boyfriend's birthday the other night at Misi. It's very tried and true that NYC restaurants lose their quality and flair once they've been in business for a while and rely on brand name alone. Misi, you must know that maintaining high standards is also just as important as achieving a strong brand name. The direction Misi is heading, it's looking like it'll be the next downhill Carbone. What was disappointing: 1. Logistics and Seating of Reservation Securing a Table - calling for months and scouring online reservations to secure a reservation for 5 people was another degree of hell. And when my partner managed to secure a host on the phone, he insisted over 3 times and confirmed that the group of 5 was indeed, guaranteed a table for his birthday. Bar seating was given to a group of 5 of us, of which 3 were of the 65+ elderly crowd with weaker knees. 2. Food Quality Burnt Toast: The famous ricotta toast that we came back for time and time again? Burnt! I thought we were at risk for stomach cancer with how burnt and black the toast was. Pasta overcooked: The pasta was a little too salty (bad for those with hypertension), and the pasta lacked the el dente texture that Italian pasta is known for. The pasta was edible, not delicious or amazing. 3. Wine and Drinking Experience The worst offense of it all. As is tradition on my partner's birthday, his family flies in from France and takes him out to dinner. They also order an entire bottle of wine. This time, they chose the Spumanti 2018. HOWEVER, they came back telling us that they did not in fact have the 2018 wine, but the 2021. Anyone who knows and drinks wines, knows that the year makes a BIG DIFFERENCE. I then asked if we were going to be given a discount because it most certainly is not the same wine advertised on the drink menu. The hostess and manager said no. We were aghast. They simply said the menu was a mistake and thanks for spotting it. We get it. Mistakes happen as well as items not being available. But these errors are usually compensated with at least a discount. In the case of wine, it is particularly extremely offensive to sell a 2018 wine at the same price of a 2021 dated wine. I am also in and was in the hospitality industry, and this was completely unacceptable. I hope charging the premium for that bottle was worth the negative reviews my family and I are leaving Misi. Greed at its finest over customer satisfaction. 4. Actual Birthday Experience - No complimentary touch or experience. Not even a free teaspoon of gelato or touch of a few centimeters of champagne. Misi, please take notes from French restaurants (specifically, ask Cafe Chelsea and Le Crocodile how they treat their birthday and anniversary guests) and Japanese customer service. Misi, I am so extremely disappointed in your customer service and food quality the night of my partner's birthday. I don't know if I'll ever return - one thing is for sure, Misi is de-influenced in my book, and I will not be recommending Misi as a place to return. read more

Had bar seating - nice spacious interior, not overly loud and lovely lighting. Bartender was attentive and efficient. Food wise, it wasn't memorable or that delicious, was perfectly fine. The braised cabbage was cooked nice but just didn't have much flavor with the ?soup. The rigatoni was perfectly average to me, not particularly tasty and was a bit too soft for my preference. The olive oil gelato tasted just that without otherwise any sweetness. It was ok. Overall an average meal, I doubt I would go out of my way to return but would interested in more popular menu items, so possibly. read more

Really beautiful restaurant and the food is delicious. Service was really good, too. It's a buzzy restaurant and is typically packed. I wasn't expecting how hard it was to get to this place!

I've been to Lilia and I had a good experience there, so I was excited to finally visit its sister restaurant, Misi. Honestly, I think I love Misi EVEN MORE than Lilia!!! - Ricotta toast: 100/10 (soooo good! I can finally understand why everyone has been raving about the ricotta toast here. The ricotta is very thick and soft, so the slightly salty and buttery sourdough bread really balances out the dish. Also LOVED the mushrooms that came with the toast!!!) - Marinated leeks: 100/10 (the veggies were fantastic here! The leeks had a slightly spicy kick to it, so it was perfect to have a bite of the leeks in between the heavier dishes) - Tortelli: 100/10 (this reminded me of the famous goat cheese pasta at Lilia, but I think I prefer the tortelli at Misi! Very buttery and creamy.) We were too full to order the dessert, so of course I'll be back! Service was good, and ambiance was very airy and chic-- perfect to come with friends or for date night! read more

5/5 - Wowowowow Misi is still as good as ever. I've been to Misi a few times now over the past 6 years and it has yet to disappoint me. But this most recent visit was the first time I've ordered their off-menu steak and omg it was "one of the best steaks, I've ever had in my entire life," per my steak-loving bf. And I can't disagree - it really was one of the best pieces of steak I've ever had. It was 34oz porterhouse that was beautifully cooked, rubbed, seasoned, and loved on, with a side of delicious buttabeans. The last course of our meal, when I say the dishes only kept getting better, it was such an amazing way to end the meal!! I can't rave about it enough. Tender, juicy, sooooo flavorful, it almost tasted like it was braised for hours or something bc it was just THAT SOFT! If they have it, please, PLEASE, get it!!! We started with the ricotta toast that comes with trumpet mushrooms, the leeks, and butter beans, then the strangozzi, before the steak. I do NOT like mushrooms but I had a few small bites of the trumpet mushrooms and the flavor of it was amazing with the rich ricotta toast but, for me, the leeks with the ricotta was even better! Omg I loved the leeks! Tangy, bright but with so much flavor, the leeks had so much umami it almost tasted Asian. Deffff recommend getting them!! The butter beans (diff from the butter beans that comes with the steaks), was brothy, a bit heavy but so delicious! They had so much flavor, like they've been jacuzzi-ing it up in a hearty broth for days. Just be warned, the beans are quite filling, so take that into account! We ended up saving half to take home so we had space left for the next two courses. The strangozzi was SOOOO good! The noodles were thick and perfectly al dente - almost like hand-pulled noodles but with more of a bite. The sauce as meaty, cheesy and a teeeny bit salty but not a bad kinda salty? If that makes any sense? My bf wished the noodles were cooked a second longer and I wished they were a half mm less thick but no complaints at all as-is, truly. Next, the steak? Well, you know how we felt about it. Just get it, please. Note they only have gelato for dessert! The entire experience from the open kitchen (which is so fun to watch! And I think a great option for those on dates to have something to talk about) to the friendly and attentive service, the atmosphere, vibe and music, everything works. Everything works SO well. It makes sense why even 6(?) years after it's opened, it's still just as busy. Like fine wine, Misi keeps getting better with age. Ugh, I already can't wait to come back!! Keep it up, Misi, you go girl! You deserve all the hype and then some! read more

Son and daughter-in-law invited me for a birthday dinner. The decor is modern, with a friendly and lively vibe. Had the whipped ricotta crostini, butter beans and the grilled baby artichokes. Each of these appetizers was developed by a superb chef and were all delicious. However the butter beans with Calabrian chili and parmigiano was superb. Tried the ricotta filled occhi with bottarga and lemon, spinach and mascarpone filled tortelli and chitarra with braised lamb and pepperoncini. The tortelli and chitarra were excellent dishes. For dessert I had the pistachio gelato which is the best I have ever had! The staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Misi - The best pistachio gelato I have ever had. Please note that my father owned an ice cream shop and made ice cream on a daily basis. - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Disappointed overall. Our waiter was not super engaged with us or pleasant and he kept taking the drink menu out of my hands without asking. The pasta portions were small making them overpriced. The lemon ricotta stuffed occhi (similar to ravioli) was tasty but honestly I had a similar dish I made myself from Trader Joe's. I love Lilia so was super excited for this restaurant but the waiter killed the atmosphere and we were disappointed with the pasta dishes we got. The ricotta toast and peppers were absolutely delicious and a unique combo so would have loved to try other items on the menu. Will probably not go back but worth the try! read more

Stopped into Misi again last night and had the best time per usual. The ricotta toast was a hit as always, the artichokes were perfectly light and don't even get me started on the pasta. The anchovy linguine was one of the best pastas I have ever had. It was one of the best pastas I've ever had as someone who loves a savory dish. Service was of top quality as always and ambiance could not have been better. Another great experience at Misi - keep it up! read more

5 STAR PASTA DISHES. Amazing sauces. Clearly these chefs know what they doing with pasta dishes. If you love pasta then you have to come here. But it is on the expensive side. But hey it is handmade pasta on the premises, right in front of your eyes. And it's a great space too. With good cocktails. read more

Worth the hype. I went for a late Sunday lunch and first thing I noticed was how beautiful, elegant and open the space is. Loved watching the chefs in the open kitchen while we waited for our table (had a reservation and had to wait about 10-15 min). To start we had the ricotta crostini w/ mushrooms -- probs one of the best apps I've had recently, every part of it so well done -- and the slow cooked butter beans which were also excellent. For pastas, the strangozzi was very good but I was really impressed by the spinach & mascarpone tortelli - with the brown butter it is sooo rich and delightful to eat. We finished with the olive oil gelato which was, yet again, chefs kiss. All the food executed very well. Service was great and very attentive. read more

Wow what a meal. Went for my birthday and felt like I had a very delicious and comforting meal. The appetizers I believe are all vegetarian, but you really won't miss the meat with the flavors Misi is bringing. We scarfed down the fried zucchini with Parmesan and lemon zest so fast! The pastas, likewise, are beautifully presented. The occhi is gorgeous and simple but so tasty. The gnocchi sardi was really satisfying. Not going to lie, I was glad to have just a little meat in my meal! Service is attentive and you really feel like you're in good hands. It's a luxurious meal and the bill will match but it's totally worth it for a nice night out. read more

immediately 5 stars - some of the best italian ive had in NYC and of course in Brooklyn. We spontaneously got off the resy waitlist 45 minutes before our reservation so it was a brainless decision to check them out and im glad we did. this restaurant is so charming from the outside and inside - it smells so luxurious and nice inside. the best touch was the le labo soaps and hand lotions in the bathroom! we ordered the whipped ricotta - 1 serving of this was plenty for 4 people so delish!!! came with mushrooms on the side which was also amazing for entrees we split 5 between 4 people which was plenty. first fav was the tortellini i swear theres some magic in here i still cant stop thinking about it second fav was the lamb spaghetti. the lamb was cooked to perfection and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente - truly a perfect dish third fav was the goat milk ravoli looking one had a lemon zest hint that was rich and amazing 4th fav was the pork gnocci which was unique and had a kick of some sort of pepper in a delicious way and last tbh i didnt care much for the fettuccine but it was definitely a solid pasta - after trying so many unique ones this was just too bland for my liking read more

I stopped into Misi on a Sunday to celebrate my birthday. I was solo dining, so grabbed a spot at the bar (which was surprisingly open when I came in around 7p). I kept it simple drinkwise with a glass of wine, though they have a nice looking cocktail list as well. For food, i went with the whipped ricotta crostini, tortelli, fettucine, and gelato (of course) for dessert. I enjoyed the apps/mains, though nothing was exceptional or super unique. The best thing in my view was the gelato! Ambiance is nice, it's a very clean/crisp style with an open concept so you can see the food as it's being made. Staff was great too. My server/bartender was friendly and checked in on me frequently. I must admit i had higher expectations given the reputation, but it was still worth the visit. Definitely worth stopping in with a bigger group to share more of the options! read more

5 Star Restaurant! Honestly, I'd give it 10 stars if I could -- it's that outstanding! We were fortunate to secure a reservation, and I absolutely loved the chic yet simplistic decor. Our server was delightful and attentive throughout the meal. We came ready to eat! For starters, we ordered the zucchini fritti and whipped ricotta crostini, both of which were exceptional. The zucchini had a light, crisp breading that allowed its flavor to shine. The whipped ricotta crostini was a standout--crispy on the outside yet soft inside, with rich and savory ricotta paired beautifully with grilled peppers. For my main course, I had the corzetti with tomatoes and basil. Honestly, this was one of the best dishes I've ever tasted! The flavors were incredible, and the homemade pasta was perfectly crafted. Everything about the dish was harmonious. read more

5 stars for the crostini only! So much cheese and carb lol. Everyone gets the crostini and it's what drew me to Misi in the first place. Happy to say that it did not disappoint! The crostini also came with mushrooms that were well seasoned and delicious. The cheese on the crostini is very thick and fresh (it was giving cream cheese on toast). The pastas were underwhelming, maybe it would've been bette with a tomato sauce since there was a lot of cheese already with the crostini. The restaurant is very pretty and has a good view of the bridge. Everything is meant to be shared. read more

they charged me $38 for an espresso martini. Highway robbery!!!!!!!!!!!!! vibe was good and food was good but do not order drinks.

We had a delightful lunch here. The space is very open with a lot of natural light, an open style kitchen with bar seating. And depending where you get seated you can also catch a view into the pasta making area. The menu is just right- featruing thoughtful antipasti and pastas. We started with the radicchio salad. It was refreshing and crisp. Loved it. My three year old ate an entire order of the fettucine by herself. She shared some bites with me and it was delicious. It was almost like a cacio e pepe. It was definitely one of the best fettuccine with butter we've ever had! I ordered the mezze rigatoni with pomodoro- the sauce was perfect. And my husband ordered the spinach and mascarpone tortelli with brown butter. Each dish was really good and different. The pasta is well made, the service was great, and our lunch was satisfying. read more

{Overall: 4.5; Food: 4.5} Service: 4; Ambiance: 4.5 Misi is one of the few restaurants in NYC that I keep wanting to come back to. While everything on the menu is great, their creative approach to vegetables and their delectable pastas are the standouts. My favorites are: - (Any of the seasonal vegetables) - Trumpet mushrooms sott'olio, whipped ricotta crostini (the whipped ricotta looks like rich whipped cream) - Grilled baby artichokes, mint salsa verde - Braised savoy cabbage, nutmeg, black pepper - Spinach and mascarpone filled tortelli, brown butter, ricotta salata The ambiance is very airy, stylish and modern and the service is good. read more

The restaurant was large, naturally lit, and spacious. The service here was really lovely. My friend and I had a hard time deciding with all the items that looked really good on the menu. The staff member who took our order checked in, answered our questions patiently, and kindly also packed our food for us. I wanted to order a pasta to go, and he was really helpful taking my order and then packing it. On the way out, my friend accidentally knocked over and broke a glass and another staff member kindly told us it was okay and to be careful. The Whipped Ricotta Crostini: I almost didn't try it because I thought it was a basic order but it truly is worth ordering. I'm also not a fan of mushrooms, but that came on the side. The ricotta is fluffy, but the bread was what really stood out the me. The crostini was just as fluffy, and it was perfectly proportioned. The Squash was drizzled in hot honey, a dish I wouldn't have even thought of. It was one of the few times ordering a vegetable dish was worth it. The Chitarra is something I typically wouldn't order because I gravitate towards cream and pesto pastas, but this was actually my favorite pasta of the meal. The pasta was thick and perfectly al dente. The lamb was braised and flavorful, not gamey. It almost tasted like beef. The Occhi was good but I feel like it was overshadowed by the Spinach and Mascarpone Tortelini, which were like pocketfuls of flavor. The spinach didn't taste like a vegetable and just added a layer of depth to the mascarpone's flavor. The Toasted Almond Gelato's flavor made me feel nostalgic for some reason. It actually was a larger portion size than what most restaurants would give. read more

Honestly super overhyped. I went here for my birthday and the service and the food was not good at all. The whipped ricotta toast was way too much ricotta I had to take off half of it.

Solid 4/5 spot. Reservations were tough to come by but not Torrisi impossible tough. Arrived on a Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the place was slammed. It took around 15 min for our table to be prepped so we ordered a cocktail and awkwardly waited in the middle of the restaurant. Dock a 1/2 point for not having a place to put guests that are waiting to be seated as bar seating is reserved. Started with the ceasar salad, the ricotta w/ bread and for entrees we had the tortellini, the spaghetti and the rigatoni. Portion sizes aren't massive so before you judge us we walked 6mi . The ceasar salad was delicious as was the ricotta whipped bread. The tortellini was definitely the highlight. The spaghetti as rigatoni were good but nothing you'll remember months later. All in all the service was great, food was great! read more

We finally scored a reservation at @misinewyork and every bite was better than the last. The handmade pastas are cooked perfectly al dente, the sauces are rich yet balanced, and don't even get us started on the whipped ricotta... insane. Here's what we ordered: Whipped Ricotta Crostini with Trumpet Mushrooms Sott'olio - The creamiest ricotta ever paired with earthy mushrooms. 10/10. Grilled Baby Artichokes with mint salsa verde (not pictured) - Fresh, bright, and full of flavor. Fettuccine with Buffalo Butter, Parmigiano & Black Pepper - Buttery, peppery, and absolutely divine. Spinach & Mascarpone Tortelli in Brown Butter - A rich, savory favorite with a silky texture. Sheep's Milk Ricotta Occhi with Bottarga & Lemon - Bright and briny, with the perfect pop of citrus. Assorted Gelato (not pictured) - A sweet finish to an unforgettable meal. The space is beautiful, the service is warm, and the flavors are everything you want from a pasta-forward restaurant.

Started off with the artichoke appetizer and ricotta toast recommended by the waitress. The artichoke was refreshing but nothing mind blowing - you can skip out on this. We loved the famous ricotta toast which is hyped up for a reason. Ended up adding the charred peppers on top of the toast which added a lot of flavor. Our mains were the spinach tortellini and corzetti. Both really great. The Corzetti was like a flat rolled out circular pasta which was really interesting, I've never had anything like that before. The spinach tortellini was sweet and savory at the same time, filling and sauce both top notch. Ended our meal with the olive oil gelato. I liked that it was infused with the olive oil rather than drizzled on top. Service was great, our waitress was very helpful with recommendations. The ambiance was nice as well, it was cool to sit at the bar and watch the pastas being prepared in an open kitchen format. read more

We made a late lunch res at Misi and were seated at the bar which was nice for a good yap. The service was the highlight- staff were so kind, helpful and very on top of it. We started with the radicchio salad- it wad citrus forward. I really enjoyed it! It was acidic, fresh, and the radicchio was very crisp. This is a great light salad to start for sure. We got the brown butter tortelli filled with spinach mascarpone. This was so delicious, I've never had a brown butter covering pasta before and it was so rich, creamy-like and pairs so well with the tortelli. I was so happy to try something so unique at an Italian restaurant. We didn't feel rushed at all too. The space was so bright, the design was modern, minimalistic. The restroom was very clean too.

My second time coming here and I'm reminded that the taste and quality are good but not outstanding enough to justify the high price tag.
