    Carbonara
    Kurt F.

    Conveniently located near the theater district this is a decent Italian restaurant. While we were seated in the back, the room was more lighted and open though lacked the dark wood ambiance of the main room. We had the fresh bread and calamari for starters - skip the table bread. I tried the carbonara which was creamy but was not authentic - made with cream, not the traditional egg and cheese. Still a tasty dish and a large portion. Our waitress was nice and not intrusive.

    Came here after seeing a broadway show (walking distance) and it was amazing. We had reservations at 9pm on a thursday but got there a little early and they still were able to seat us. All the servers were also friendly. We got the margarita and fichi pizzas. Both were delicious but I highly recommend trying the fichi, which was on the sweeter side. We also got the crostata di mele for dessert and we devoured it. The restaurant is on the pricier side, but the ambience and food is worth. Great for a nice summer day!

    Came here after a show and we sat outside in the patio seating on a beautiful summer day and our waiter Roberto gave us the best service and made us feel like we were in Italy! I ordered the cascarecce and my partner ordered the spaghetti chitarra and both were insanely flavorful and delicious. I especially liked the lemon cream flavor of the chitarra and I loved the glob of rombolina cheese that they put on the cascarecce. Vibes were impeccable. They freshly make their bread and pasta and you can tell! Special thanks to Roberto G!

    Spaghetti Carbonara; Brussel Sprouts

    Made reservations for a Thursday evening at 6pm and was seated right away. We came during their Happy Hour, but opted to order from their regular dinner menu. Our table ordered apps, entrees, sides, and desserts - the whole nine yards! lol What I got: - Brussel Sprouts: Nice balance of savory and a tad of sweetness! - Spaghetti Carbonara: Plentiful + filling. Perfectly savoriness of a creamy dish with yummy bacon bits. - Lemon Sorbet: Always love closing out my meal with a sweet, refreshing bite! Prompt staff and comfortable space. I saw that they also have a $25 Lunch weekday Prix Fixe, which seems like a sweet affordable option. Great spot near the Theater District!

    The law

    THEY ARE ABLEIST!!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE! The staff was incredibly rude and tried to deny us service due to my sister's service dog. She then kept asking us for his papers (which is not legal). She said she would allow us in the restaurant since it wasn't busy and put us in the back from everyone else. The place had fruit flies, the food was bland and the staff were incredibly rude. The same hostess then came over to our table and proceeded to argue with us about how she "let us" come in and how dogs are not allowed in restaurants. I told her he was a SERVICE DOG and she then pulled up a Google search answer saying that dogs were not allowed in restaurants but service dogs are. She told me to read it out loud and I did, telling her it said service dogs are allowed. She told me I was being rude before walking away. We paid and left. They are rude and ableist. I will be reporting them. Save your time and money for somewhere that actually treats people like humans. I have even added a screenshot of the service dog laws in NYC.

    Limone di Sicilia
    Maria B.

    Wow! What a lovely restaurant. We were going to see a broadway show and this was 2 blocks away. We had the most leisurely meal ever. The servers and staff were super attentive and met all our needs without being intrusive. It was decorated so pretty for Christmas and the general decor is elegant and classic. The food and drinks were excellent! Prosecco, Sicilian breeze, Capri Rush and San Giovese red. We shared a crocche appetizer and Cesar salad. Dinners included the crab cake appetizer, Cacio e Pepe, lasagna, and carbonara. They sang happy birthday to me with a delightful Limone di Sicilia and Torta Al Formaggio. It was truly a magical meal.

    This review is mostly influenced by the rude attitude that the bartending server had with me from the moment I sat down at the bar for dinner, for no reason at all. I accidentally dropped the menu when I was ordering and it went off the bar, she stared at me for 5 seconds, rolled her eyes, and then picked it up and put it back in front of me. I asked her if there was champagne by the glass because I couldn't find it on what is the cluster of an alcohol menu they have, and her reply was "yep, it's on the menu". Thanks for that so helpful wow!!!!!!!! I asked for cheese on my pasta and she said "what" in such a snarky way and made a ticked off face at me that was totally unnecessary. When I asked for a new fork to eat my pasta with after my appetizer, she rolled her eyes and threw down the new silverware beside my plate. The food was just average good Italian food, nothing special. Make sure you don't sit at the bar if you decide to come here. Which I don't recommend you do in the first place.

    I came here with friends for brunch in Feb before going to see Chess on Broadway a block over. The place is quite large & the space is light and bright. Based on Yelp reviews I got the Spaghetti Chitarra (delicious!) while my friends had more standard options off the brunch menu (fritatta & brunch bistecca) which they thought were decent. They also had a Bloody Mary and Sangria, while I got a Sicilian Breeze. We shared the Limone di Sicilia dessert--such a cute presentation looking just like a lemon, and a very nice refreshing taste! I would come back for it! We also finished off with coffees/tea (cappuccino, espresso, peppermint tea). Service was friendly. Definitely a nice option if you're going to the theater and wanted to dine somewhere convenient on Restaurant Row.

    A great restaurant for pre theater or post theater. The steaks are very good as well as the pastas

    Overall great food and flavors but missed the mark on really making our visit a 5 stars. We went with a group of 5 persons. And which I thought would be an easy going night and since it was near Broadway, people would be filtering out by 8pm. However this was not the case. Which is always a good problem for the restaurant to have. As it was so busy! Almost every table including the back room (which we were seated) was full. It was hard to flag down our waiter as he was so busy. But ok we were not in a rush so we were not mad. We just relaxed and whenever our server came he came. We ordered a few apps, from the burrata, meatballs, Caesar salad and the octopus, they were so delicious! The octopus was a generous portion and the burrata was so fresh and creamy. Only thing is I was hoping to get the complimentary bread which I saw photos of, but it is no longer complimentary !!! You have to pay $5 for it now!! So that was upsetting ! Next we ordered the eggplant parm, chicken parm, salmon, and 2 different pastas. However the pastas were both similar flavor and was not different. But we loved the salmon and the parms! Overall, it was a good evening, food is good, but service needs help. They need to hire more people to work here.

    Fichi pizza and gnocchi sorrentina
    Madeleine B.

    We came right before a broadway show and had no trouble getting a seat, although by 6:30 it was very busy. We shared the fichi pizza, gnocchi sorrentina, Caesar salad, and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was so good! The tiramisu was standout though. A very unique presentation. They did seem a little understaffed once it got busy, so it was hard to get ahold of our waitress near the end.

    Overall Visit We stopped by here for dinner before a show and had a reservation. We were immediately greeted by the host with a smile. I didn't look at photos beforehand of the seating setup, but I guess my face said it all when we got to our table, the staff quickly noticed and kindly offered to move us. She suggested the outdoor section with a window roof, which sounded nice, so we went for it. It was pretty, but honestly, if I came back, I'd probably choose a different spot, it felt a bit tucked away and harder to get noticed by the servers. Bread Service We were brought complimentary bread and olive oil, which was a nice touch though we had to ask for the balsamic vinegar because like... they're a combo, right? Drinks Our server was friendly and welcoming, which was such a breath of fresh air for NYC, people here aren't exactly known for being warm, so that stood out. The cocktails were great overall. I had the Watermelon Sugar (so good!) but was a bit disappointed in the lemon garnish, it didn't match the profile, and a watermelon slice would've been better and seen it in photos like that too. The drink was still good. The Capri Rush, which to me tasted a bit like lemon cleaning product, maybe just me, but not my favorite. Food Now, for the food, OMG. I quickly skimmed Yelp and saw everyone raving about the Spaghetti Chitarra, and let me tell you... it did not disappoint. Absolutely phenomenal, the pasta texture, the sauce, the crab meat, pistachios, chef's kiss. Trust me, just order it. We also had the Branzino and the Polpette (meatballs), the meatballs are technically an appetizer, but if you want something lighter, they could easily work as a small entrée. The branzino was also excellent. Restrooms & Accessibility The restrooms are located downstairs and the stairs are quite steep, but they also have an accessible restroom on the main level, which I really appreciated. Overall Incredible food and cocktails, warm service, and a lovely atmosphere. Just a few small quirks with the seating, but I'd absolutely come back.

    Whether before or after a Broadway play, Sicily Osteria is always a welcoming addition to your day out. Food is always consistently delicious, authentic, and fresh. I love their wood fired pizza's cooked to perfection. Always asked about the specials, sometimes they forget to mention them, case in point we overheard another waiter mention the specials and our waiter had no idea about them. Well today they had stuffed zucchini flowers and they were amazing, brought back the memories of visiting Italy. Decent wine list and full bar. Definitely recommend and make a reservation before you go. Has a lot of unique spaces and nice atmosphere but fills up very quickly.

    See all
