If you’re looking for a great date spot, Il Piccolo Bufalo is it. The atmosphere is dim and romantic, making it the perfect setting for a night out with my husband. The highlight of the meal was definitely the arancini—they were heavenly and cooked to absolute perfection. What really made the night, though, was the service. The staff is upbeat, attentive, and genuinely friendly; we felt like we were among family from the moment we sat down. We will definitely be back!” Their sangria is a must!

Honest review~ We were stuck on Valentine’s Day when our plans in Little Italy fell through at the last minute. Our timing was right at Il Piccolo Bufalo – despite lines outside every other place on Mulberry, we were able to get a table. Shout out to Alex, who was super friendly and a real “character”. We had to flag him down to order, as he seemed to forget us a bit, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say there were some dropped plates…but his charm and affability made up for his distraction. The way he and Raquel bicker, well, it was a truly NYC experience, lol. It ain’t Kansas. Ballsy with a smile – that’s true NYC. Our stuffed artichoke was a thing of beauty, and very tasty – if a bit oily. We ate simply (this menu is not fancy… I saw LOTS of chicken parm go by, and the plates were licked clean) . We had a bolognese and a spaghetti with meatballs. Hubby liked the meatballs, but I still like my homemade better so I wasn’t overly impressed. Nice, big meatballs, though the portions were not huge. Perfectly sized, I’d say. Filling, but no leftovers. Who wants to walk around NYC with leftovers, anyway? Not me. If you like fresh parmesan, look elsewhere. We got a little shaker like you’d see in a pizza shop.But listen, this is good, sturdy American-Italian fare in a lively atmosphere. I witnessed a table seated in the center leave because they felt it was “too noisy”, but we were seated against the brick wall and had no trouble hearing each other. And the guys in the kitchen (whom I glimpsed on my way to the special “bigger bathroom” Raquel showed me) were working their tails off. By the time we left, the place was packed. Prices won’t break the bank, and you’ll leave with a full belly and a smile on your face, like we did.

I had dinner here recently and ordered the penne vodka, and I’m honestly still thinking about it. The dish came out steaming hot, perfectly coated in the creamiest, silkiest pink sauce that had just the right balance between rich tomato flavor and that subtle vodka bite. The pasta was cooked exactly al dente — soft enough to melt into the sauce but firm enough to hold its shape with every forkful.

What really made it stand out was how fresh and flavorful everything tasted. The sauce didn’t feel heavy or overwhelming; instead, it had this comforting warmth and depth that made every single bite feel special. You could tell the chef put care into it — no shortcuts, no blandness, just genuine quality.

The atmosphere of the restaurant made the whole experience even better. It had that cozy, intimate Italian vibe: warm lighting, attentive service, and a staff that treated you like you’d been coming for years. The server checked in just enough, made great recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect without ever feeling intrusive.

If you’re looking for a place that delivers authentic flavors, comforting dishes, and a beautifully welcoming ambiance, this restaurant is absolutely worth it. I’d come back just for the penne vodka — it was that good.

Alex found us on the street and he was so nice, invited us in. What a GREAT atmosphere!!! Incredible service and super kind people. The drinks are amazing! Our server was Amber- and let me tell you- she is an example of what service IS. When you come, ask for her- she will take such great care of you.

The food was incredible, get the Penne Vodka!

Honestly, best place in Little Italy
