    Lunch Fettuccine Mushroom *
    Lynn N.

    I got take out at Pisticci, and it was great! When I came inside, a kind worker greeted me and helped me grab my order. Inside did look very comfortable with lots of seating and a warm atmosphere. When I got back, I was very pleased to see how well they packaged my pasta. I got a lunch fettuccine mushroom with meatballs and it was delicious. The pasta was tender and the sauce was flavorful with umami. I am normally not a pasta lover, but I liked this one! The meatballs were also juicy and paired well with the pasta. Generous portions for a lunch meal, and I would come back for more!

    Always a hit. Solid, consistent, everything on the menu is good, service is always on point, diverse staff. I mostly go for boozy brunch with girlfriends, but also frequently choose it for lunch or dinner with friends visiting from out of town. Cocktails are fantastic. I almost always get anything with grapefruit in it, like the grapefruit martini or their brunch cocktail which i can't remember the name of ever. The lemon ricotta pancakes are an absolute must. And we usually get at least one side of bacon and a side of sausage for the table. And we sometimes share 2-3 desserts. Love love love.

    We came here for the lemon ricotta pancakes, just to find that they were a bit underwhelming. Not bad just not what I expected. We also ordered the french toast which was phenomenal and made me wish that I had ordered that instead. The service was good.Everyone was friendly in the environment was clean. Though I would not order the lemon raccotta pancakes again.I would come back to try other things.

    Cozy neighborhood Italian with amazing pasta Pisticci is such a charming spot -- warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and truly excellent food. The pasta dishes are the highlight: perfectly cooked, rich sauces, and generous portions that taste homemade and comforting. We tried one of the classic red-sauce pastas topped with fresh herbs, and it was absolutely packed with flavor -- simple ingredients done really well. The dining room has that intimate, relaxed vibe that's perfect for a casual date night or easy dinner with friends. Service was attentive without being rushed, and the team was happy to help with menu suggestions. If you're looking for authentic, satisfying Italian with a cozy neighborhood feel, Pisticci is a fantastic choice. Definitely worth returning to try more of the menu -- especially brunch next time.

    Our server Grace did an outstanding job!

    Attended an engagement party on the evening of Oct 25 at Pisticci. I was extremely impressed with all aspects of the dining experience. Large parties are a challenge to any restaurant, and not only did Pisticci have a full Saturday dining clientele, there were TWO parties going on as well that night. That said, the food was still of the fine quality and nice sized portions I've previously experienced over my past 4 years of dining there. The biggest shout out though has to go to our amazing server Grace. She was so friendly, courteous and attentive. From meeting the needs of the youngest member of our party with a prompt meatball sans sauce request, to keeping the various drink and wine orders flowing after dinner, Grace did an outstanding job!

    Friends who just moved into the Morningside neighborhood of Manhattan brought me here today for brunch. Very cute little place in the very bottom of a building. Very friendly service. Can't remember servers name, but she's in the picture. Super sweet. I ordered the spaghetti with vegan meatballs and the spaghetti was perfectly cooked and oh those meatballs were really really good! Other friend ordered same with regular meatballs and his wife ordered the three egg omelette. We had bread with olive oil. We ordered one espresso and two cappuccinos. For desert, we shared the tiramisu. Everything was delicious! I won't be in this part of manhatttan often so I won't be able to enjoy this place much and try their other entrees, but for the first time, excellent and can't wait until I can return to try dinner entrees.

    When I think of visiting NYC, I think of great Jewish deli's and neighborhood Italian trattorias. While most of the former are gone - thank goodness for the later - you know the small cozy places that bring you back in time or transport you to a small street in Sienna. Pisticci hits the mark big-time! Quaint, unassuming, welcoming- you feel like you are home. Local art fills the walls ( many of the staff are artists) and the dining space is intimate. The menu, while straightforward, is filled with delicious choices. There are no bad choices here. Daily specials will tempt you for sure. Start anywhere, make sure you get a pasta dish ( cooked perfectly), and whatever you do save room for the coconut cake ( made in house ). It is like none you've ever tasted! Enjoy dear readers - enjoy!

    Love this place. Th service here is excellent, there all well educated and super nice. I always see the employees at some point t sitting down to and enjoying a nice meal. There were 7 of us. First time sitting in the back room. This place have 3 bars, a beautiful outdoor decks and 3 separate dining areas. For appetizers we had the mussels, great sauce, but wasn't living the mussels, a insalada mista, insalada pisticci, yummy pancetta, and a Barrata. Also someone had the spaghetti al pomodoro, quite good too. For entrees we had the rigatoni ala vodka, 1 plain, 1 with meatballs, and 1 with sausage, I had the sausage and loved it. We also had the orecchiette with broccoli rave and sausage, the Fettuccine al funghi, my wife's favorite dish , but she substitutes the pasta to a rigatoni. My daughter had the maltaiati with ricotta, spinach and lamb, delicious. All the pastas were fresh and cooked to perfection. I did say our waitress, the actress, was terrific as well. We drank too much so our bill was not inexpensive.

    The vodka pasta was DELICIOUS. It was even a delight to eat my leftovers the following day. The potatoes... I could've done without, they were a little bland, but the pasta was the star of the show anyway. The staff were efficient and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was intimate and warm.

    Typically obnoxious Italian restaurant service (waiters coming every 2 minutes to refill your glass, upsell, or clear your table when the place is practically empty). But the food here really is a cut above, and the ambience is pleasant without being pretentious. Pisticci penne was perfectly cooked, al dente without being crunchy, and just the right amount of tomato and oil. Gelatos were delicious - pistachio blandness was more than compensated for by the delicious pieces throughout, and the fig gelato was insanely great.

    This is a long-standing local business and I had to try it out. I called ahead of time (Friday at about 5PM) to ask if they had any space for a table of 3 outside and that we were on our way-- the prissiness level of the hostess was unmatched. In any case, we got there and all the outdoor seating/tables were empty and available (we were just told we had a two hour time limit). The waitress was great and the menu had good options. The dishes were a bit on the heavy side but, hey, it's an Italian menu. I would recommend perhaps splitting the kale salad as an appetizer amongst the table then having your pasta dishes. Would come back but would likely just eat very light throughout the day prior to coming here.

The Food: * Starters: The hummus and muhammara with pita were great. They also gave us bread with EVOO--it looked perfectly crusty on the outside and soft in the middle, and it tasted just as good as it looked! * Mains: I couldn't decide between lamb and salmon. The waiter suggested lamb, but I went with the salmon and it was the best decision. The citrus sauce on top was divine! Wish it came with rice instead of just veggies (though the veggies were tasty). The Service: The staff was friendly and service was good, but a heavy language barrier made it hard to understand the waiter, so he wasn't very helpful with menu questions. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely come back later in the evening to catch the live music!

    Mediterranean @ Edgewater, NJ, 3.5 stars…read more Decided to try the restaurant since it was 10 minutes walk from my sister's place. We had a dinner around 8pm on Friday but the restaurant was not busy at all. It appears it used to be a cuban restaurant but v the owner changed and became a Mediterranean. The menu was very simple and it was a BYBO. We told our server that we wanted to share every dishes. We really liked the hot crusty bread served with a spread and it also tasted good with babaganoush. The pita bread was stale and burnt which came out with the babaganoush. The beet goat cheese walnut was refreshing. The fried calamari was crispy and went well with tahini based sauce. The lamb shishi kebob was tasty but the portion was very small and it was chewy. There was too many overcooked carrots as a side. You coould park on the street or valet parking was available.

Held at the beautiful rooftop garden at Rockefeller Center overlooking St. Patrick's Cathedral, the setting alone was worth the trip. As the sun set behind the Manhattan skyline, guests were treated to an evening that felt equal parts whiskey education, culinary experience, and celebration of American craftsmanship. The WhistlePig team put together an outstanding lineup of cocktails and rare whiskey pours, each thoughtfully paired with a multi-course dinner. Every course felt intentional, from the beautifully presented appetizers and seasonal produce to the perfectly cooked beef course and creative dessert finale. The food wasn't just an accompaniment to the whiskey it stood on its own. One of the highlights of the evening was host Max Miller of Tasting History. His storytelling added depth and context to each pour, connecting American history, whiskey culture, and the culinary experience in a way that kept the entire table engaged. What impressed me most was the attention to detail. The tablescape, service, pacing, glassware, cocktail program, and overall guest experience were executed flawlessly. Nothing felt rushed, and every element contributed to the story of the evening. WhistlePig continues to prove why they are one of the most innovative names in American whiskey. This wasn't simply a tasting event it was an immersive experience that celebrated history, hospitality, and craftsmanship at the highest level. If WhistlePig hosts another dinner like this, don't hesitate. Buy the ticket. -- Jeffrey Umaña @jeffrey.umana

    From a wedding guest point of view…read more Wedding was right before the December Storm. This is rated as one of the most expensive venues in NYC. Yes, the views are amazing, however the weather has to be just perfect. Especially if you plan to use the outdoor patio. Which, why wouldn't you? The space itself is not for large groups, wedding party size approximately 50. Plus the wait, bar & other service staff. The location is prime, if you plan to take a car, remember this is NYC & traffic is bad. You can probably walk faster than a cab or car service. Especially during the month of December. NYC gets more visitors in December than all year long. The venue has 2 bathrooms for women which is not good, however worked for this crowd. Think of this location as a once in a lifetime, only if you have the funds for this location. As guests we were thrilled to be invited to such a lavish wedding!
