Amazing server and food, the wine options were limited but still tasted very good. FRESH pasta! Bread was okay and the sun dried tomato tapenade was not the best. Overall I do recommend! So good! read more

Black squid frutti di mare was delicious. Service was attentive and ambiance was nice

Came back for dinner and had a pretty bad experience. The service was very slow, the waiters were inattentive and hard to get a hold of, the music was way too loud, and the food was not good. Although we thought the free garlic bread to start, the meatball appetizer, and the flourless chocolate cake were pretty good, the entrees were pretty bad. I got the grilled Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and it was drowning in dressing and the lettuce was wilted and gross. My fiancé got a special pasta of the day, which was supposed to be stuffed with porcini mushrooms but instead was just filled with spinach and ricotta. It was also quite expensive - $24 for just a few pieces of pasta. We were itching to get out of there, but took us forever to get the waiter's attention. Quite a disappointing evening. read more

The vibe and atmosphere in this restaurant was amazing. My veal dish was recommended by the manager and I thought it was OK. The dessert was out of this world. Pricing was reasonable. The manager who is from Italy made the whole night for us. He was engaging And pleasant to talk to. read more

We came here for early dinner between Broadway shows (on a matinee Wednesday). Only a few other patrons were already there. The garage-like doors along 39th were open to the outside on a day with perfect temperatures for that--I'm not a fan of dining outdoors, but my wife is, so being inside exposed to the sidewalk was a perfect compromise for us. :-) Our server was friendly, helpful, attentive, but we didn't feel rushed at all. My wife and I both ordered from the specials list. I had a simple short rib on polenta with thickened au jus, she had a cheese ravioli in white sauce with cured thin slices of meat. My rib was cooked to perfection, only needed a fork. Her dish was a subtle combination of flavors. We are definitely not foodies, but we both enjoyed our meals and the prices were a good value for the location. I also had a house-specialty cocktail that wasn't worth the price because one flavor overwhelmed all the other ingredients, but that wasn't a big deal compared to the pleasant service and good food. If we stay in the neighborhood again, we'd be happy to return. read more

Absolutely fabulous. Last night in NYC for this trip and needed some delicious Italian to send us off right and this was the perfect spot!! Friendly and speedy service, wonderful ambiance and yummy food. The chopped ceasar salad should not be missed. The lasagna and tortellini soup were wonderful and the calamari was also a treat. Oh, and the bread basket at the beginning was a bonus. read more

Spot on legit real deal Italian! Got the porcini pasta and it was just the right amount of food. Word of advice... when bread comes, definitely save some to mop up the sauce. That's where the real money is with the bread enjoyment. read more

The food, service and ambiance were amazing. I love a good Italian restaurant and hold them to a high standard thanks to a restaurant I frequent in Central Florida and another in Southern California.

Went here for brunch one day- it was good, but nothing crazy special. Our waiter was a little weird, kind of rude, but I won't let that affect our rating because maybe we just didn't understand his humor.. The food was good, nothing special. Burgers and salads and wraps and normal brunch food. read more

I was in town last month and found Nittis on Yelp. The food was tasty, think Sunday dinners at Nonna's, go here for a home-style meals. They got our orders out fast, meatballs were better than my wife's (which she makes once a week), the personalized attention from Will, the owner, made our meal extra special. Fluent in Italiano, attention to detail, and a seasoned restauranteur, he's built something special there at Nittis. He explained that Nitti is his nickname, his two boys did the decor, and all Willie's recipes are all from his family (they are from Rome) so you're getting authentic home style Italian food. The meatballs are his Nonna's recipe and are the very reason we returned a few days later to have them again. I'm not Italian, but my eldest daughter is (via her mom), and I look forward to taking her and my other kids to Nittis so they can enjoy homestyle Italian food in NYC. Grazie Willie! read more

The food was amazing but I just need to express how Amazing our waiter was and I wish I got his name ! But he left before we were done eating :( but I hope he gets noticed for being the best waiter we've ever had! We came in on Wednesday August 3rd 2022 around 11:15pm so whoever was the thin guy with the blue collar shirt who sat us down and took our order, I hope he gets noticed for the absolute amazing job he did ! Even the lady waiter who took care of us after he left was so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend this place because not only was the food great! But not many restaurants have both, great food and service. This place really has both. The waiters really made us feel so comfortable and welcomed! read more

Our friends, my partner and I had a fantastic and delicious brunch at this establishment today celebrating a milestone birthday of one of our dear friend. Located on 39th St and 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, it's a welcoming, relaxing spot with a tasteful modern design bringing the classic Italian recipes. I had the pleasure in meeting the owner Will whose nickname "Nitti" was given to him by his grandmother. We have exchanged some words and mentioned that he also owns Pomodoro in Fort Lee. Reservation was made for 30+ guests and didn't disappoint. Because of the weather, their huge garage doors open to the street and we sat in a few spots that feel outside but is inside. Brunch began with avocado toast containing olive oil, focaccia, lemon, crushed chili, olive, cherry tomato & radish. Followed by one of the entrees, Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce & choice of Canadian bacon or smoked salmon, Vegetable Frittata (fancier omelette), The Big Nitti burger ( Fresh mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, onion & sweet chili mayo. Served with truffle fries) and French Toast (French brioche dipped in their secret batter, rolled in crunchy cornflakes & grilled to perfection, topped with fresh berries, served with powdered sugar & vanilla bean gelato). All were SUPERB!!! Presentation was impressive, flavors on point, and very authentic cuisine. All wait staff was professional and attentive. We can't wait for a repeat performance and highly recommend it. read more

Birthday dinner. This place would be crushing if it wasn't for a slightly awkward location. Affordable prices for what you get. Great drinks and bruschetta. Had the Chicken Mama Mia - chicken cutlet and eggplant parmigiana. Service was great, bartender and waiter were very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Will be back! read more

The food is pretty good, but the experience I had here is bad. When I asked the waiter if I can cancel the dessert he said okay, then after the dessert came he said he told me he already put on the order so I can't cancel it? And I sweared he didn't say that to me when I wanted to cancel. I fully understand if my order can not be cancel, but at least have someone who can speak correct English. The tips charged automatically 20%. What a nice dinning experience. read more

Just a "hidden" gem - currently eating here and couldn't be any more pleased with the experience. The service has been fantastic - food was excellent and even had an opportunity to meet the owner. We'll return next time we're in NY read more

Not sure how this place has a 4.5 stars. It is overpriced. Weekday lunch with co-workers, we were there like 12.15ish and place was empty. Decor very cute and loved the open space. Service ok. Now, as for food we ordered: - 1 margherita pizza. Really good. Love it, right tomato, think crust pizza. $20. - 1 caccio e peppe pizza, disappointing. SO SALTY. $23 it is just the crust with pecorino and tons of salt. - 1 nanas salad, literrally romaine letuce finely chopped, 2/3 slices of cucumber and 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half, a few pieces of red onion. Good but not worth the price. $12 - 1 cesar salad, this is the biggeat ripoff. How can u even call it cesar. It was just the lettuce mixed with dressing. LOL. $12. I did not see q single crouton - brussel sprouts. The girl who had it said okay - arancini $12. Ok Food is good but def overpriced. Tons of other italiana around with better for the same price And I dint even count on any other extra fees on the bill given that we were invited so didnt see the final check read more

Expected too much? I had a pasta with clams, too few clams. The pasta didn't have a clam flavor. The clams are not what I have had before, small and dark. Since Yelp had 4.5 stars, I don't know why I was not happy with it. Should've gone to some I know in Little Italy. read more

We came across Nittis on our way to check out Hudson Yards and it was just what we were looking for.

We enjoyed the calamari and chicken Parmesan and truly appreciated the great overall service! read more

Even during this tough times the effort and quality that's placed into both food & service is impeccable. I stumbled upon this restaurant on my way to Camera Doctor (which is across the street). Checked out their menu and gave it a shot! An awesome drink selection with an extensive food menu = a returning customer P.S. The drink I ordered was the Hell's Kitchen Sour which has Bulleit rye, fresh lemon juice, vanilla infused simple syrup, sweet vermouth, garnished with black cherries. read more

Awesome Italian food, went out with my flight crew to get authentic Italian food in NYC. Was genuinely surprised at the fact that after I ate the fantastic tasting spaghetti and meatballs - I did not have a heartburn or any stomach issues that I would normally have from this type of food. The fried calamari was soft, and tendered (as opposed to hard and chewy) - cooked just the right way. The crew I had with me tried the Italian beer and liked it, and chicken Parmesan. Put the fingers together on my right hand together and kiss 'em! Muah! Thank you Nittis! Btw very quick and efficient service. read more

Best homemade fresh pasta I've ever had. Service was great and I really enjoyed their outdoor seating. The area is easy to access being close to the business Hell's Kitchen restaurant row but just far enough that it isn't extremely crowded or full of tourists.

This place was empty when we arrived on a Thursday around 7pm, a sign I should have used to turn around. There were three servers and a bartender milling about. We were promptly seated and the drinks from the bar were good. The food, however, was about the worst we have ever had. The gnocchi pesto was terrible. gnocchi was very dense, hard and bland. The pesto was made from a powder mix and the shrimp were basic frozen 31-40 tail on shimp from the supermarket. The Eggplant Parmesan was equally as bad. No eggplant could be found, just breading and bland canned tomato sauce. The spaghetti meatballs was also terrible. Bland meatballs that seemed like they were microwaved and no flavor. The deserts were covered in sugary syrup and were way too sweet. This not a place you want to go spend your money at. The only good part were the drinks. The sooner it closes down and a new place comes in, the better. read more

Excellent food, great service. Very cozy atmosphere. If you are in the neighborhood stop on in..

Well what's the purpose of coming to NYC if you're not going to have a slice of pizza!?!?!. We came across this place and settled on it. I ordered the Margherita pizza. I asked to add capers and the waiter said no. Then he directed me to another pizza but I explained I'm vegetarian. When I declined, he insisted and told me capers can be added to the Margherita pizza. The pizza was decent and they gave me about a Tbsp of capers. They also failed to inform me there would be a credit card charge and charged me $4 for capers. Ridiculous!!!! The service was not good at all which ruined my experience. read more

We had a lovely meal here. It was not busy at all on a Sunday but evening around 6:30 but that is the holiday weekend effect. Though this restaurant is squarely in the touristy section of NYC, my guess is that they garner their share of regulars. The menu is extensive with really something for everyone and portions are not huge. They go for quality not quantity. That said, I left sated. Service was impeccable with two or three people attending to our table. Food came out relatively quickly and was hot and yummy. The zucchini cheese ravioli is a rich dish that will satisfy any cheese lover and the pasta puttanesca has that needed bite of saltiness. We closed the meal with a calzone...Nee York style. Ambience reminds me of the places they had/have in little Italy. Seating is indoors or out and we sat inside but in the open window area so we had the best of both worlds. And if you are a people watcher, you won't be disappointed. I look forward to trying more of the dishes on the menu! read more

Do not overlook this spot!! My boyfriend and I decided to have dinner here because it was a block away from our hotel and we regretted not eating there more than just once. You can't exactly tell from the outside how cute and cool the ambience is on the inside. They were also playing great music! Always a plus. The service was also very on point. The server recommended us the fagottini al porcini and it was delicious!! So creamy and so much flavor. My boyfriend ordered the pasta cacio e pepe and the noodles were super fresh and perfectly al dente. And guys, the garlic bread!! To die for. All in all, 5 stars 10/10 recommend. We were so excited to eat, I forgot to take pictures! read more

I've had delivery from this place in the past month, and was pretty happy with the delivery and the food. Hence why I came back for another meal. This time the pizza was literally as cold as coming out of the frig, and the $17 salad was 2 handfuls of lettuce, parm cheese, and 3 stale croutons. Definitely not a 3rd time for this place. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant last Sunday while looking for a new place to meet friends for brunch (the original place only had "B" health score rating, so we changed our plans). We settled on this venue because of the wide range of options across the lunch and brunch menus. It took awhile for me to decide, but I finally settled on the lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of sausage. I was very satisfied with my choice. Our waiter was very patient with us and was very attentive, always checking to see if there was anything else we needed. He even asked if he could bring water to the service dog that was with us. After a very leisurely meal, we met the owner as we were about to leave. My two friends and I chatted with him in both Italian and English, which I always enjoy, given how rusty my Italian has gotten over the years. The next time I'm in the area, I'll keep this venue in mind. read more
