I've been to other cult of personality restaurants in the city like Kabab Cafe or Dough Vale. Oftentimes an exceptionally sociable proprietor detracts from the food, but thankfully Spiga is the exception that proves the rule, churning out some of the better pastas in upper Manhattan. We shared the fusilli with pesto and burrata and gnocchi with a light tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Both were quite satisfying without being overly heavy, although the gnocchi was the preferred of the two - the fresh mozzarella provided great textural contrast, and the portioning was not too stingy. The rustic set-up is quite inviting, and there's a nice atmosphere created from how the restaurant gradually spills onto the sidewalk. I would come back.

Delicious authentic Italian cuisine in a tiny (seriously, like 3 or so tables inside and a handful outdoors) homelike setting. My friend kept asking for Americanized dishes like chicken fettuccine and our server said his Uncle the chef would scoff at such menu suggestions. So cute. It wasn't until we arrived at the restaurant after deciding on it base on Yelp reviews that I realized it was already on my list. My daughter and I had been to the wine bar across the street and were admiring how quaint was Spiga was and wondering if we should have chosen to go there instead. It made us nostalgic for our recent trip to Florence. The food was exquisite. The serving sizes were perfect. The pasta was fresh, a perfect al dente, the flavors nuanced and balanced and pleasantly palatable. Our server was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and proud about the food and the establishment. I look forward to my next opportunity to return.

We sat outdoors on a nice day as a walk in on Friday evening, we ordered the fettuccine bolognese and squid ink pasta. The noodle texture was great and portion size reminded me of what it was like in Italy (definitely didn't over eat)

This was our second time dining at Spiga, and everything about it was just as incredible as the first. I would definitely recommend calling for a reservation, as there are only ~10 tables inside. The space was warm and inviting during these chilly winter months, and service was friendly and quick. They had a great selection of wine to choose from, although my partner had a peroni instead. To start, their bread with olive oil was a perfect bite. We shared the Caprese di Buffala as an appetizer, and even though tomatoes aren't in season, they were juicy and sweet paired with the creamy mozz. For my dinner, I had the fusilli with pesto, sundried tomatoes, burrata and pistachios. In my opinion, this is the most perfect pasta I've ever had! The pesto was so flavorful, the pistachios added a perfect crunch, and the homemade pasta was outstanding. My partner had the gnocchi in a tomato sauce, which he quickly devoured. The dessert menu was full of good options, but he picked the tartufo. Chocolaty, creamy, and delicious! We will definitely return next time we're near the Upper West Side!

Branzino
Gary P.

A tiny little restaurant with big flavors from my wonderful purée of cauliflower soup to a carpaccio with just the right add ons arugula Parmesan and olive oil to an epic lasagna, that my partner said was the closest in taste to her favorite which she had in Italy !! My branzino a special that evening was so fresh and tasty it truly was special, a very attentive host making sure you're enjoying and relaxed service in quaint surroundings makes for a perfect evening Bravo

Chicken Parm

I ate here with some friends Friday night. The food and service was excellent. I got the Chicken Parm and it was one of the best I've ever had. Note: the place is quite small, so might not be great if that bothers you, but I was fine. Outdoor space will be open soon. Make a reservation.

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday at her request. What a charming and tiny place! The food is authentic and the waitstaff makes you feel as if you are in their own home. While the Caesar salad wasn't the greatest, the rest of the food was very good. Reservations are highly recommended as walk ins will surely have to wait for this highly coveted neighborhood spot. Salute!

We stopped by Spiga for dinner Friday night, note to self: definitely get a reservation next time! Thankfully we arrived early enough before the crowd and was able to grab a table (with exception that manager said we had to leave by 1.5 hours). We took a chance, we actually ended up closer to 2 hrs but luckily they didn't say anything. There are not many table, only all out on the street. Indoors there are only 3 tables, so very small. We ordered the meatballs and artichoke for apps, while I generally love meatballs and this was a very filling hardy meatball, it was on the salty side. The artichoke salad was also very fresh. For mains we shared the paccheri alla Norma, which hubby loved. He said the pasta consistency was spot on! The black ink pasta with shrimp and calamari, flavor was ok. Liked the shrimp but calamari was nothing to rave about. And the chicken parm which I thought I would immediately love. However it was also rather salty. Either I seriously cook with no salt flavor or I am really sensitive to salt. The side dish of broccoli rabe can be skipped. Overall service was excellent, authentic with homemade pastas.

Super cute, super quality authentic Italian "hole in the wall." They recently changed ownership and the food is absolutely ELITE. The pesto fusilli, fettuccine bolognese, and steak were the highlights for us. Most of their pastas / flour are imported from Italy. I would also not read into the "To Go" too much - eating there in person is the optimal experience without a doubt. Spiga has become our new go-to for Italian on the west side. Major shoutout!!

Paccheri alla Norma
Autumn L.

Delightful little Italian place! There's not much seating but we managed to snag a table. I ordered an aperol spritz and paccheri alla norma, which was rigatoni with eggplant, tomato, and aged ricotta. The pasta was very filling and had the perfect al dente texture. We also got a fennel salad for the table, which was very refreshing. It was honestly a perfect summer night meal.

Baba Al Rum was also tasty, as was the Orecchiette. Rigatoni was salty, but well-flavored. I visited a popular Italian restaurant from the Union Square Hospitality group with a group of five others. The restaurant is quite large, and although it was somewhat noisy, the tables were spaced apart enough that it was easy to hear everyone. We had an early dinner at 5:45 PM, which took quite a while, but I didn't mind. To drink, I went with the Bitter Giuseppe for $19, with Cynar 45.3, Punt e Mes, lemon, and sea salt. I'm a fan of most Negronis, and this was a particularly bitter version. The bit of lemon and sea salt added a unique but enjoyable flavor at the end, though in retrospect, the salt probably wasn't super necessary. Two of us split, and eventually, a few of us ordered their signature appetizer, the $18 Cast Iron Focaccia, with tomato conserva, a mixture of crushed tomatoes, olive oil, and Calabrian chili. The bread was fresh and warm, albeit a tad oily and salty, but it paired wonderfully with the conserva. As someone who doesn't like it when bread is extra, this was delicious and worth it. Another person ordered the $18 Insalata Verde. It was very large, but fairly basic, with a vinaigrette that had a citrusy and mustardy flavor. There was also the Caramelized Onion Torta for $27, which was very large, as expected for the price point. It had a creamy and tangy flavor from the Pecorino Toscano with some sweetness from the onion. It was delicious, but very heavy, and I would recommend that around three or four people split it alongside the focaccia. Finally, there was also the $15 Pizza Bianca, which was easily the smallest of all the plates, but they still enjoyed it. My main dish was the Orecchiette for $26, with ramps, pistachio, and pecorino. Like most of their dishes, the portion size was quite large, with plenty of pasta, which was perfectly cooked. The ramps added a touch of sweetness, although I would have liked a few more nuts. Additionally, there was almost too much pecorino, which made the dish slightly salty, but it was still enjoyable. As a side, I got the $19 Grilled Asparagus with dates, vermouth, and blue cheese, which came with many pieces of lightly charred asparagus. While there was plenty of funky blue cheese, I would have preferred more dates. Two of the others got the Rigatoni Alla Gricia for $30. The portion was large, and I tried a bit while they tried mine. The noodles were again cooked perfectly, and while there was a lot of guanciale, this was easily the saltiest of all the dishes. For dessert, I chose their Baba AU Rum for $18, which was uniquely mixed with chocolate and orange. The presentation was a bit off, as it looked like a certain emoji, but the flavor made up for it. The subtle hint of rum paired with the bitter-sweet chocolate and orange. The dark chocolate-covered orange slice on top was a nice touch as well. Someone else got a tart, and one other person got the Gelati, which resulted in one of the only faults during service. She heard it was two scoops, and ordered espresso stracciatella and hazelnut, but was given two separate orders for $12 each. The gelato was good, but unlike most things, definitely not worth it for the price. I liked the appetizers much more, but I found the food good overall. Tasty dessert, and the portions make up at least a bit for the relatively higher prices.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

L'Artusi has been on my radar for a while, ever since I heard it was a hot spot and saw reviews of…read moreit being one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
