The steak was so amazing. I had to send it back but the second one was perfect. The drinks was ok a bit watered down. The waiter was really cool and chill nothing was an issue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was calm and intimate but a bit too dark.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend. read more

Where to begin? I arrived before the reserved time and was sent to the bar to wait. My party was stuck in traffic. I made a wait buddy from Massachusetts who has been in NYC since 2021.Great conversation while waiting for our perspective parties. The tragedy was my party arrived late due to NYC traffic from Harlem. She was in the village by 5:55 and it was a creep to the restaurant. Tragically, our table was no longer available. My party did not appreciate the action as I was not advised the table was no longer available. The next table seen in the system was 9:15 PM. We looked forward to the dining experience as ot is our first visit to this establishment. P.S. This establishment is not affiliated with Stanley Tucci. We were left to order at the bar. We opted to still try the cuisine; problem was no one took our order. The bartender returned and took our order.The cuisine was tasty yet the portions were undersized (think half Branzino and approximately four gnocchi for tge vegetarian. Maybe we will venture again during warmer weather. Takeaway; if the full party does not arrive within fifteen minutes of reservation; you lose your table. Suggested solution, send a hostess to inform the members awaiting guest(s). read more

Angela was amazing! She was so friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. She checked on us throughout the meal without being overbearing, had a great attitude, and helped make our dining experience even more enjoyable. Great service can really make a difference, and Angela definitely delivered. If you're dining at Tucci, I highly recommend asking for her! read more

Celebrated my birthday at Tucci and it was AMAZING! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is stunning! We sat downstairs and it almost felt like being in a cave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There isn't one plate that I was disappointed by. We started off with the baked clams and Cesar salad, absolutely perfect! I could have had another round of clams! We shared the cacio e pepe and the branzino. I think I dreamt about the pasta of how amazing it was. Best cacio e pepe I've had in a very long time! Whatever dressing was on the branzino was incredible. The waiter brought out the tiramisu for my birthday and it was so delicious! The dirty martini was the perfect addition. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at the bar while waiting for our table and it was perfect for people watching![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't wait to return!

Pleasantly surprised! Not that I had any bad expectations going into Tucci, but as someone that grew up on Italian food, I generally find many of these new Italian places to be a bit of a letdown. I'm happy to say that Tucci was not such! We started with the meatballs and tuna carpaccio. The meatballs were really good honestly some of the best that I've had in the city. The tuna carpaccio was not bad by any means, but I've definitely had better. It just seemed to be lacking depth of flavor. For our mains, we had the chicken Parmesan, spaghetti Pomodoro and Campanelli Alla Boscaiola. Honestly, all three were very good! I wouldn't say that the chicken Parm was as insane as I expected it to be and have heard it is, but it was by no means bad. We all really enjoyed it. The spaghetti Pomodoro was honestly one of my favorite things if not, my favorite, it was perfectly cooked and the sauce was divine. It was a great execution of a basic spaghetti with red sauce. The Campanelli was really good as well and the addition of the sausage and mushrooms really elevated the dish - super flavorful. In terms of service, it was good, but honestly could've been better. Our waiter wasn't very friendly and was kind of pushing us to get things that we had already said we didn't want. If we say we don't want the bread for example, don't ask us multiple times if we're sure. I definitely expected better service and I kept having to ask for my water to be refilled, which I never enjoy having to do. Hosts were great though! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is wonderful. We were seated in the upstairs section and it's very pretty and really good vibes. The downstairs area looks very cool as well - like an old wine cellar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Tucci and would definitely come back. read more

It was my first time here and has been on my list all year! So glad I was finally able to get a reservation and enjoy the food ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the ambiance is so romantic I loved it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated quickly and our waitress was very helpful and sweet! We ordered some red wine and of course the focaccia bread which was to die for and the artichoke! Dinner we did the chicken parm with a caesar salad . So good , probably the best chicken parm i've ever had honestly. We loved every moment of our dinner everything was 10/10, and we will definitely be back soon !! read more

Rating 3.5 Solid dinner place but not particularly standout for an Italian place in NYC. Focaccia was good and I usually don't like sourdough but didn't mind theirs (it wasn't that sour). Caesar salad was as you'd expect. I would skip the Brooklyn Burrata and the meatballs (there were three per serving but they are huge). Baked clams were ok (just tasted like breadcrumbs to me) but I did like the crispy artichokes. I also thought their pastas were just ok (we got the cacio e pepe and fettucinni). Kimchi lasagna was good but the perilla leaf and kimchi flavor didn't come out very well so it tasted mostly like regular lasagna with a bit of sweetness from the bulgogi. The veal, pork chop, and ribeye were all solid but again nothing standout. Lastly, I would skip the dessert - the mousse and the baked alaska were way too sweet for me. Cocktails were really good though. Overall a solid spot but not sure I would come back again (with the caveat that I know I tend to be more critical of Italian places). read more

Some of the best Italian food I've had in years if not the best! The service was accommodating despite the feeling of impatience and irritation by the waiter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is excellent and the small top floor gives way to a lower level which is more expansive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Clams Organata was amazing. The Black Truffle Tartufo was a huge standout along with the Veal Chop Marsala.( I forgot to take a pic ) The waiter was annoyed by the amount my friend tipped on the check and came back to suggest a bigger one. That was tacky and aggressive. I agree the tip was too small and I made the adjustment for her but his approach was unwarranted and he embarrassed her. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall very nice and friendly establishment. Very Posh and funky Not a place to just stop by .. you must plan to dine here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hostess with black hair wearing the green dress was to die for read more

What a lovely Thursday 3/20/25 dining surprise. The ambiance was cozy & sexy and the host was kind enough to seat us as a party of 4 in the lower level for a late dinner (we didn't have a reservation). Service was seamless & attentive. Great crafted cocktails and extensive wine list. We shared foccacia, borrata and artichoke for starters. Then we shared benzino, chicken parmesian, octopus and a unique lasagna. All were pleased. I will definitely return. read more

Will definitely go back! Delicious food, attentive service and romantic and fun ambiance. I started the meal with crispy artichokes - they weren't all crispy so I don't necessarily need to get that again. Then I shared the chicken Parmesan and cacio de Pepe and they were both very good. Their Pinot noir by the glass paired very well with it. For desert, we got tiramisu which was pretty good. I will definitely try other apps and mains and pastas next time. Highly recommend! read more

street away from the Broadway-Lafayette FMBD stop // soho shopping area (there's a dress code FYI, midtown expectations but not midtown location mm okay) Receptionist is literally right behind the door, bit of a jump scare IMO bc I couldn't tell if the staff were also patrons or they were staff, everyone was kinda standing there and they did look us up and down to make sure we adhere to their dress code and it honestly made me a bit uncomfortable [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is bigger than it looks. There's a first floor and a downstairs. Lights are really dim. Good for date nights I guess but people do trip going up the stairs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [Restaurant Week] food took some time but everything was well-seasoned and generally good portion size but doesn't feel like it filled me up.

The food is okay. The last time Wait staff was horrible or should i say my waiter. The bus boys did their jobs. My waiter was NO GOOD. especially on new years eve. Bottom line his tip was not good. The waiter was no where to be found. The food especially the entrees came out way after midnight. This was the 4th and probably last time my wife and i go. The place went from wow the opening week to progressively worse The last 2 times the Marinara on separate occasions was burnt. The meatballs are OK. The caci di pepe was pretty good. Ribeye was ok and the pork was returned because it was still moving. But again for the price The delivery of food and timing was was off. Tables we sat next too not far apart. However they received their f*ckin dessert and we still didn't get our entrees. Needless to say left a bad taste. The mgt needs to get this in order. Was very disappointed and I most likely will not return. The mgr did the best by coming the one meal but in all honesty all should have been comped. read more

I happened to try this place with my friend during the last Restaurant Week and we were both overjoyed! The food was so delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was charming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was accommodating. Note that the bread is not free but is fresh baked rustic and excellent. We shared the Burrata and prosciutto di Parma and the Tucci meatballs appetizers. I had the ibérico pork chop and my friend had the chicken Parmesan. We shared the cheesecake and bomboloni desserts. Everything was melt in your mouth bursting with flavor! It's on the pricey side overall, but worth the splurge, especially a great value for Restaurant Week, so add it to your next to go list! read more

Came here on a friends advice and this was rated super high on his Belli. I am not as impressed. Small portions, expensive and the Chicken parm was super thin. Breading was 3x the chicken. Maybe I am just jaded by decent food at reasonable prices but this wasn't it. Had to even pay for a bread basket to dip the sauces (11$).

Tucci was Gucci baby! My friends & I had a lovelyyyyy Saturday night dinner. The ambiance was dark with the perfect touch of light at each table & along the walkways, sexy, intimate, a perfect vibe for dinner. I had a sidecar to drink, my girlfriend had a cosmo & my guy friend had the Bianca Negroni. We said we were only gunna order one drink each...but of course we ordered two! They were delicious with a perfect balance of ingredients. To eat we shared the meatballs, baked clams & Caesar salad. The sauce on the meatballs, YUMMY BABY! The meatballs themselves were seasoned well & cooked perfectly but that sauce was the kicker. The baked clams? Literally, actually, licked the clam CLEAN. Prob my favorite of the night. The Caesar salad was a bit underwhelming only because I'm picky. The anchovies were present in the dressing but it could've packed a little harder in the punch, or maybe more Worcestershire, salt, idk but something was missing a bit in the dressing. For our entrees, my girl had the branzino, I had the chicken parm & my homeboy had the Cacio e Pepe. His was a bit underwhelming as it could've used a bit more salt & pepper. But the branzino? DELICIOUS! Branzino is branzino so the portion is what it is, but baby it was good!!! The star of the show, the chicken parm. Silly of me to think I'd bring home leftovers. I tore that baby UP! I thought it would be smoked vodka sauce in its entirety but it was only a thin layer of the vodka sauce but primarily the same sauce from the meatballs. Wasn't mad at that because again, delicious, but I wish there was more vodka sauce. For dessert we had the hazelnut gelato, cheesecake & tiramisu. 10/10 recommend all of them. Overall? Tucci is GUCCI! read more

The ambiance is sublime, and the service top notch. I must say I went in not expecting much of the food when I looked at the menu, but I was quite impressed with some of the dishes. The focaccia was a little doughy for my taste. But the sauce accompanying the artichokes (as well as the artichokes themselves) were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the agnolotti. The stuffing was a mix of eggplant and yogurt that was delicious, and it paired really well with the zucchini mint sauce. I'd go back just for the agnolotti. I enjoyed the cacio e Pepe with truffles as well, and appreciated the freshly shaved truffles on top. read more

I had a good experience here! I came here with 3 friends for my birthday dinner. We had a reservation at 9:45 pm. We all got there late but they were able to seat us at our table around 10 pm. At first when you walk in, there's a small dining room and a beautiful bar. I didn't realize there was a downstairs, which is where our table was. We were seated in the semi private room on the left. The restaurant is beautiful which is why I picked it for my birthday! I love the dark lighting and exposed brick and "cave-like" features. It's definitely a vibe. We weren't too hungry but my group split 3 entrees: - Chicken parm: this was my second favorite dish. Ck parm was crispy and not soggy! - lasagna: my favorite dish - Bucanti: I would pass on this, but my friends liked it! - Affogato ($15): this is not worth $15. The Affogato at Torrisi is the best one I've had and this one just does not compare. Because our dinner was late and we were seated in the back room, it felt very private and as if the room was just for us! So we were able to take pictures without bothering anyone. Service was good. No one was super duper friendly but they were attentive and constantly filled our waters. They don't have a physical dessert menu so our server had to recite it all from memory which was very impressive! read more

Sorry to say but it was not what we expected equal to the price of almost $600 for a couple. Upon arrival, we had to switch tables and the hostess (who really wasn't happy when we arrived) seemed annoyed she had to move us, they ended up trying to literally squeeze us in a spot that I couldn't sit let alone by husband who is double my size. We were sat again without menus and completely ignored for the next 15 minutes, finally I called the Sommelier over to ask him to help and he did choose a very lovely wine at our price point. We then waited another 15 minutes for our server who when he finally came over, didn't introduce and just started saying what the 4 course menu entailed. It was at that moment, I asked him if he was our server, he nodded and walked off, the next time I saw him was when we had to order desserts. Our first course was good but the sauce with the meatballs tasted burnt so that was inedible, I would have returned them but no one came over at all to help except for the sommelier who kept pouring our wine. Second course of pasta, the Pomodoro was cold, didn't eat that and at this point, I succumbed to the service and just left it on the table. The bus boy seemed to notice we were being ignored and tried to come back to check but really didn't do much, finally last course took 60 minutes and I am not exaggerating, literally an hour, we sat and drank and tried to enjoy the evening as much as we could since we couldn't go anywhere else at this point but we did speak about leaving. Finally the sommelier noticed we still didn't get our entree at 12:30am, we started at 10am and went to go check on what was happening. Again, never SAW the server, when our entrees came a few minutes later, my pork chop was raw and my husband's rib eye was lukewarm. Service never checked on us and never apologized. We had a visit from the manager who told us he would only charge us only "one meal" and we were so frustrated at this point, we just nodded and I mentioned that my pork chop was inedible and the bus boy put it in a container. He asked why I didn't tell our server and I said, I had not seen the server in the last hour! He then asked to take the container and in the back and about 30 min later brought me a new pork chop to bring home. This was awkward and cringy and I didn't know what to say but I had a talk about the service and the gratuity that was included in the bill which I didn't want to give to our server. Soon after, our absent server walked over to pay us out and I could see about 5 employees all discussing what I has told him in front of us and the server himself rolling his eyes and complaining about his service. Mind you this is only the time we saw him, he dropped off the bill and I left and mostly me and the diners next to me said they would never return. It was that bad and for $600 dollars (bill / drinks) I was so disappointed and I doubt I would return. Overall, one of the worst dining experiences I have had, please do better. read more

This is a very cool spot, but in my opinion the food didn't quite deliver. The focaccia was a little too chewy, the Caesar salad could've used just a tad more dressing, and the agnolotti was interesting and delicious but way too rich. The casarecce would've been perfect with a bit more flavor. The price point is incredibly high for food that doesn't stand up to other great Italian spots in the city. Great vibes inside though, especially downstairs. Really cool space. read more

We decided to try this place for Father's Day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]AMBIENCE - For starters, we were seated in a table on a corner of the basement. It felt uninviting and dungeon like[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. If it weren't for it being a Father's Day outing, I would've complained and asked to be moved upstairs. And if those accommodations could not be met. I would've said: lets go elsewhere. Upon being seated, the waiter did not say Happy Father's Day, was not personable, and his service at best was mediocre. He did not once ask if we wanted anything else to drink nor did he refill glasses with water. He lacked the attentiveness that he should've had considering at the part of the restaurant where we were seated was empty besides us and one other table. He definitely did not earn the tip he was given. SMH As for the food: We ordered: Foccacia and the meatballs for the start of our dinner. No complaints on that. The Foccacia had a nice texture and our kids loved the meatballs. My husband ordered the kimichi lasagna which although an odd and out of place ingredient on an Italian classic, was a subtle flavor that worked well in the dish. My daughter and I both ordered the the Cacio E Peppe E Tartufo. It was tasted fine but could've used more salt and more cheese. If it weren't for the shaved truffle and the little bit of cheese thecwaiter put on top, the dish would've had not flavor. My son ordered the chicken Parm with a side of potatoes. The chicken Parm was wasn't bad in flavor but, it was left under the broiler too long and they hardly put any sauce. And it did not look at all appetizing especially in that awful lighting.. He was starving so he just said, its not photo worthy but it tastes fine. I don't think we will resist. read more

Came here last minute on a night out. We were able to get a last minute reservation which I thought was 100% pure luck lol. When we arrived there was no one at the host desk so we just waited.. and waited.. and waited.. finally someone came and sat us down. When they came to get our drink order they let us know the kitchen was closing and we would have to put in our food and drink at the same time. This was a little annoying bc we had literally just sat down. But we did our best and ordered a little bit of everything. The food was delicious and the drinks were stiff. I think had we come at an earlier time it would've been a better experience but for $300+ it just felt a little rushed and unenjoyable. I suggest not seating tables that late if you cannot accommodate them. We were there for 1hr and 3 minutes. I counted. lol Will I be back? Probably not.. unless someone is dying to go. read more

I was so surprised at how bad the service was.

It was my birthday and we were planning to spend at least a good two hours but we were so rushed we literally finished 2 rounds of drinks appetizers and main courses by 7:20 and my reservation was at 6:30.

Tucci first caught my attention when one of my former colleagues posted that she dined here on her Instagram stories. I then saw it popping up on other IG accounts with nothing but good things being said about it. I'm cautious about placed hyped up on social media, *especially* Italian restaurants, but the food looked good and I was curious to see how it stacked up compared to other spots in the city. My friend and I were looking to get together, so we thought dinner here would be the perfect place to catch up. Tucci is relatively new, having only opened in March 2024; your first thought by the name may be that Stanley Tucci has an interest in this place, however the Tucci actually refers to Max whose family also owns Delmonico's Steakhouse. This is meant to be D's sister restaurant, serving up Italian fare. It wasn't that hard to get a reservation, though still the earliest time I saw a month out was 9:45pm, so I booked it. Walking in, we were greeted by the hostess who immediately sat us at our table. The dining room isn't large - I would say there are about 20 to 25 tables, though there's also a downstairs area with a bar - not sure if there's additional seating there. The space is decorated nicely, it has a high-end look with lots of greens and blues cast against the white tablecloths; a bar on the back wall serves as a focal point. We started with drinks - I got the Ciao Bella which was vodka based and contained citrus accents. The drink was good - perfect for the upcoming summer season. Moving onto apps, we decided to start with their focaccia bread, and then move onto the burrata with prosciutto and meatballs. They were generous with the focaccia - the top was little crispier than I personally like, but overall it was good. The burrata was delicious - creamy, fresh flavor and wasn't too runny. I wasn't a fan of the meatballs - they were way too dense, and I'm a little uncertain about their red sauce (there was a flavor in the sauce I can't put my finger on). Also, at $27 ($9 per meatball), this was overpriced for the quality. All I saw on social media was everyone talking about the chicken parm - and even though I usually don't order this out and have eaten 763 chicken parms in my life, I gave into the hype and we decided to order it. Additionally, we ordered two pastas: the bucatini amatricana and the casarecce alla boscaiola. The parm was huge, definitely enough for two people and was topped with a smoked vodka sauce in addition to sitting atop red sauce. At $41, I was expecting greatness however the dish fell flat for me; the chicken was tough, there was too much cheese, and I was struggling to find any flavor - I mean I saw the sauce with my eyes but it wasn't translating to taste. The bucatini was fine, but it contained the same red sauce as the meatballs and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. The casarecce was delicious - the sauce was tasty and contained a generous helping of Italian sausage; this was the saving grace of the mains. To finish off, we ordered the baked Alaska affogato and the tiramisu. The tiramisu wasn't anything to write home about; I would have liked to have tasted more espresso flavor but the amaretto flavor was a nice surprise. The affogato was better - making it baked Alaska was a unique spin, and it had hints of lemon which I loved. Service was excellent - everyone was super attentive and friendly which really made the experience; the food came out faster than I expected, but it may be because it was a slow-ish night (there were empty tables when we arrived that stayed that way). Overall, Tucci has potential but at this point it's more style over substance IMO. It's a gorgeous space, and the social media hype is drawing people here - however the food didn't do it for me. Hopefully as they're open longer and get more into their groove the food will get better; for now, I would opt to dine elsewhere. read more

While our food was very good we were disappointed with the service. We were there for Valentine's Day which was a prix fixed menu. It was surprising to us that they were out of Tito's Vodka, and we didn't receive the sides we ordered, for an additional cost, and the waiter didn't check on us until we were almost done with our meals so too late for our sides. When we brought this to the waiter's attention- he did apologize and offered us Expresso martinis - which we did accept. We had higher expectations for this restaurant and left dissatisfied. Not sure I would recommend. read more

Buyer beware. They sneak in a 4% charge if you use a credit card. You only find out about this when you get the bill. No notice on the door. Nothing on the menu.

First off, a warm and current decor, very pleasant environment! Even though me and my partner are not fan of American Italian driven menus, at Tucci the Clam Oreganata, Veal Chop and Pork chops were all delicious. We do prefer they to be cooked a bit less though, just so to be tender. However the "jus" (I know, I meant it as it's rather French than Italian here for these 2 dishes) were absolutely delicious. Cocktails are great, the staff were superb. Alex was wonderful ! Cudos! read more

I had such a great time here on a Tuesday afternoon to celebrate my husbands birthday. The food was shareable and so delicious. The ambiance was super romantic even though there were huge parties right next to us. I thoroughly enjoyed all the food: Housemade Focaccia 9/10 I love some good bread! BROOKLYN BURRATA 10/10 Burrata is always going to be that girl Tucci Meatballs 10000/10 I am typically not a meatball person but these were cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of sauce. So delicious. CASARECCE ALLA BOSCAIOLA 10000/10 wow, I listened to yelp recommendations for this one and it did not disappoint. CHICKEN PARMESAN 10/10 I am typically not a big chicken parmesan person but this was amazing. Perfect thin piece of chicken that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. NONNA SESTA'S CAESAR 7/10 I love a good cesar salad and this was that. Not the best I've ever had but good enough. I expected a little bit more from Tucci to be honest LASAGNA AL FORNO 7/10 the lasagna was good but I have had better lasagnas The drinks were pretty good and did not leave me buzzed. I do wish I would've paired the food with win instead of choosing cocktails. I had the Lavender Haze which was a gin cocktail. Very refreshing. My husband had the Italian margarita which I wasn't too fond of. The service was excellent! We were well attended and never left dry. I would come back to try other items on the menu or for drinks. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked by the place, it looked nice, so we walked in for early dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since the place was packed we set on the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered Caesar's salad, spaghetti with red sauce and branzino. The bartender was clearly new, knew nothing about the menu, couldn't answer any question and didn't make an attempt of even finding out, so we just ordered what sounded good. Thankfully the kitchen delivered, everything was excellent, the salat was fresh and crunchy, the spaghetti was perfectly cooked (al dente) and the fish was beautiful prepared, with the crispy skin on one side and battery soft on the other. We then decided to try their dessert so we've ordered 2 macchiatos and tiramisu from our bartender. The tiramisu never arrived , instead of macchiato we received espressos... Anyway, since the food was so good the 5 starts is warranted, but I suggest that before you let a new bartender take over the bar, make sure he is fully trained, understand the basics, (like how to make a macchiato) and not to forget putting the order in (still thinking of the tiramisu that we never had). Other than that, I highly recommend this establishment. Good food, good vibes, not very good service. read more

Arrived at 7:57 and my guest at 8:04 we sat at the bar bc our table was not ready. Graciously at 8:30 the hostess offered us wine, at 8:45 a bread basket and the owner offered us ciao Bella drinks at 9 wine and many apologies for our table not being ready. People were just not getting up from the tables after the meal was done. In the future they should nicely move them to the bar. I wouldn't be offended if someone asked me to do so. Idk. Something has to change with that. Visually it's a beautiful space. The music playing was enjoyable and not loud at all. It felt good to be there. I'm sure that neighborhood will enjoy it as I heard the location has had a bit of turnover but tucci seems like a keeper. The bartender was really nice too. He felt bad that we were having this experience. The food was good also. We wanted to get dessert but bc we were sat so late there wasn't time. read more
