Decadent and delicious food. Very intense flavors, lots of complexity, heavy. The carbonara was the best I’ve ever had. I enjoyed the octopus because of its flavor, though the texture was just fine. The brand and salad it comes from were pretty tasty, though they felt more like a separate side to the octopus and not an integral part of the dish. The portion sizes are good for sharing, not small.
It was nice seating at the bar by the kitchen, though the noise of the bartenders constantly knocking bottles and glasses and chucking ice and used bottles in the container by my feet got annoying fast.
The dim lights and compact setting are cost, but the music is way too loud for normal conversation.
I would go back, and I’d like to try more food.

Though we only came in for drinks, the ambiance, service, and most importantly, the music, was perfect. I actually have to come back to eat because it smelled delicious in there.. like truly divine. Jenevieve was a great bartender!

Excellent spot for dinner, service was awesome with chef/owner checking in on us throughout the meal. The purple rain and kumquat mojito were

Went here for dinner this weekend to celebrate my mom’s birthday and can’t recommend it enough! Ignacio our server was amazing and made my mom feel so special, including the hostess who greeted her with ‘Happy Birthday’ when we walked through the door. All of the dishes were amazing (the arancini was the best I’ve ever had) and the space is very cute. I live in the neighborhood and this will be a repeat spot!

West Village perfection on Cornelia Street
Dell’anima has long been a favorite of my wife and mine, but their new location on Cornelia Street takes the experience to a new level. The space is intimate and beautiful—if you can, snag one of the window seats to watch the neighborhood go by while you dine.
The kitchen continues to set the standard for Italian in NYC. While the “meat side” of the menu—specifically the duck, steak, and venison—is consistently exceptional, the pastas are the true showstoppers. The Orecchiette and the Tajarin Carbonara are masterclasses in flavor that put most other spots in the city to shame. Pair that with a cocktail menu and wine list that are always on point, and you have the perfect New York night.

I was fortunate to have lived at Gotham West because Dell’anima was literally downstairs at Gotham West Market. I’ve been a fan ever since they served their first dish there and the greatness continues at their new location. We got the Charred Octopus, Endive salad, and Bucatini Arribbiata. Delicious. The vibes and service were great and we can’t wait to be back again!

Perfect place to go if you have a toddler yet still want nice restaurant quality food.
We set up a high chair at a plain table for 4 in what’s basically a food court. That to us is a benefit because we didn’t have to worry about it being too nice for a child.
The food was great. Just as good as a snooty white tablecloth restaurant with judgemental waiters. Our favorite is the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese.

Appetizers, meat, certain pastas, and service were good. The octopus was cooked and seasoned perfectly. No bread/olive oil served. However, the only dish that disappointed was the mushroom pasta. The mushrooms itself were a bit too crunchy(?) for my taste and the pasta was very grainy. If the pasta was plain (just flour and egg), I think the flavors would’ve meshed better.

This cozy pasta spot is a gem! Every dish, from the perfect focaccia flatbread to the tender octopus and all the handmade pastas, was simply exquisite. You can taste the freshness and passion in every bite, making it an unforgettable, comforting meal. (Y me atendieron muy bien, en español)

Dining at Dell’Anima is an experience that transcends the ordinary. Nestled in a cozy yet vibrant space, this gem offers an open kitchen concept where the magic unfolds right before your eyes. The chefs, with their infectious enthusiasm, not only craft dishes to perfection but also generously share their culinary secrets, making the meal as much about learning as it is about savoring.
The wine selection, though modest in size, is impeccably curated to complement the equally concise but exquisite menu. Every sip feels like a carefully considered pairing, enhancing each bite.
I indulged in my go-to favorites: the bolognese, a rich and hearty classic, and the grilled octopus, perfectly tender with just the right char. My partner explored with the endives, a refreshing and crisp starter, followed by the branzino, a delicate yet flavorful dish that was a true testament to the chefs’ skill.
Dell’Anima’s ability to deliver excellence through simplicity is unmatched. Every plate, every glass, and every interaction feels intentional and warm. For anyone who values the intimacy of dining as much as the flavors on the plate, this is a must-visit. Truly outstanding!
