They say first impressions last! Well, my first wasn’t as good as my second. I had a much better experience second time around. The seating was good. I made reservations so there was no wait time. Servers were polite and offered great service. Food was great! The wine and champagne suggestions were off the rock! I will be back!

A comfortable place with nice view of the Garmercy Park. Perfect for people watching. Overpriced food and lame service.
Went for brunch over the weekend and ordered a bunch of plates. The chef’s basket was great. All the other were not impressive. The classic pasta Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe was too salty and the pasta overcooked. The brussel sprouts were mostly burned. Our server was slow and indifferent: no smile and never asked once how’s everything. When we asked for a box for the leftover she even packed the bones. No wonder this is a no tipping restaurant because I really didn’t feel like tipping LOL.

Went for lunch but it was awesome. I had prosciutto and mozzarella for antipasto and the ham was so tender and tasteful, so as the mozzerella. The pasta was great too.

There were great selection of wine and it said “BAROLO bar” at the bar at the entrance which I would definitely like to try next time.

You will need reservation to get a table.

I can’t say enough good things about Maialino. First, the staff is top notch from the moment you walk through the door, to your server and wine service–impeccable. Food allergies? No problem and always attentive to my needs. As for the food, as an admitted carnivor that eats super low carb, let’s just say that I was over the moon with their selection, quality products and perfect execution. I’ve had nearly all of their main courses, but to this day, always look forward to the roasted pig. Just wow! Another amazing meal at Maialino.

Top tier service, sophisticated and warm atmosphere. The girls and I sat at the bar and had a few drinks. The bartender and all of the wait staff were friendly, polite and professional. One of the best espresso Martinis I’ve ever had. Speaks volumes because I’ve had quite the fair share of espresso martinis in NYC. The bartender was a blond guy with shaggy hair and I wanted to personally recognize him! He made our party happy! I can’t wait to try their renowned Italian food next time!

One liner review – hype over Cacio e Pepe was overrated.

We heard so many good things about this place especially about Cacio e Pepe (literally cheese and pepper) and Amatriciana pastas. We ordered both and while I enjoyed amatriciana I was quite disappointed in cacio e pepe. It reminded me of a mac n cheese in pasta.

Some reviews say cacio e pepe pasta was too salty but the saltiness was just about right, but it was rather a bit bland. Not sure if it needed more talk but it was just ok.

I enjoyed the texture of Amatriciana pasta more. Their quanciale in this pasta was the best I have tasted ever, very rich in flavor and both crisp/fatty at the same time.

Service wasn’t particularly friendly but practical and professional. They don’t get tips so they don’t have to be friendly.

Tip: Last-minute booking is pretty doable. I called the day before my intended visit during peak vacation period and they were able to squeeze me a spot at 5:30 PM. Call them and see if they can make you a seating.

I took out one star because I expected a lot more in Cacio e Pepe pasta.

We had dinner here to celebrate a birthday. The food was superb. The service was a bit slow because they were busy, but the servers were very friendly and courteous. Will come again.

This 5/5 is specifically for the awesome burger we had on our first visit, which happened to be at lunch time. This burger was one of the juiciest, most flavorful burgers I’ve had in a very long time. The beef patty on its own was awesome! But I certainly couldn’t complain about the super thick slice of bleu cheese and the bacon they put on top.

That same meal, we also got a side of potatoes (they were not on the menu and were a special request that our fantastic waiter was great about) and dessert. The potatoes were fantastic – crunchy on the outside and with enough seasoning that they required no sauce or additional sauce.

For dessert, we did the Tiramisu and two scoops of Gelato – one of chocolate and one of cherry. The Tiramisu was very light and just the right amount of sweet – not the overly sweet that I’ve found in most others. The chocolate Gelato tastes dark and rich, while the cherry was a bit Tart. Yum!

We visited the next day for breakfast. Everything was absolutely delicious, but not quite as life changing as lunch. Although I would strongly encourage getting bacon because it was the thickest cut of bacon I’ve ever seen. So good!

The atmosphere and vibe was very date-night.
We had the vitello tonnato and that was the highlight dish from the night. The malfatti is a bit too salty and the bucatini is alright. The oilve oil cake is great

Loved everything! Inside was beautiful and our server, Amy, was so great and fun. I got the caccio Pepe and cherry gelato for desert. We also got the burata and mushrooms to split. Will definitely go back!
