We came here for dinner after a Rockettes show. It is just off the beaten path of the holiday tourist crowds, but what sets Barolo East apart is the phenomenal staff and food!!! I will dream about this meal!

Authentic Italian in an understated, elegant, old-world spot. Delicious food – – the Gorgonzola gnocchi sauce was heavenly smooth and decadent. The tiramisu was consumed in 3 solid minutes. I went by myself and did not feel rushed, the pacing was very good and all the staff and management were very attentive and courteous. Timeless and classic place.

Everything about this restaurant is perfect. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the table placement allows for quiet conversation which is difficult to find these days.. From the moment you walk in all the staff make a huge effort to make you feel welcome and they really go out of their way to please. Our server Narciso helped customize our meal and talked to the chef several times to make sure each dish was prepared exactly as we requested. The wine by the glass list is extensive and like the restaurant name, you have to order a fantastic Barolo of which there are two to choose which is quite rare these days as well. The portions are very generous. The pasta selection is huge and we settled on the special cavatelli made in house with a wonderful beef ragu sauce followed by the perfect Branzino opting for a lemon preparation which kept the fish moist and flakey. We ended the night sharing a delicious profiterole. The meal was paced perfectly and inspite of being crowded that night we were never rushed or hurried. One of the best Italian spots in the city and we are going to be regulars for sure.

It’s a fine place for tasty authentic Italian dining. Set in a quaint atmosphere, it’s warm. The menu is wide and the seating is comfortable.
One even has the option for take out, in case you’re on the run.
Good value for money.

The bread was the highlight of the night, accompanied with a sun dried tomato oil/sauce that was spectacular. Such a good start to the night that turned to be the worst taste bud experience. The lobster ravioli special was great but stained your nostrils with a seafood smell. Our server recommended the pappardelle with chicken, raving about the fresh pasta – my unborn son could’ve cooked a better pasta dish. The sauce had no taste, unseasoned canned rubbery chicken, the busser asked if we wanted to take it home and the server immediately said “no its okay,” seemingly reading our minds or he just knew better than to take home trash. Otherwise, this spot would be good just to have a dine out night with wine and appetizers.

Review is a bit late but we finally settled from traveling. We visited on 1/1/2024 for dinner and the whole experience was wonderful. The host was welcoming, and our waiter Paolo walked us through the menu, offered insight to the dishes and was very kind and attentive. The atmosphere was romantic, white table cloth, candle light, very elegant. Our food- oh my gosh our food- amazing. From the bread and dipping sauce, appetizers, salads, to the main course and dessert. Everything was so, so good. I really can’t express it enough, the pasta was amazing and I come from an Italian family, I mean it, it was so good. And their Parmesan!!! So good. Maybe I over did it on my dish but it was yummy. We didn’t have to travel to “little Italy” for classic Italian, this place is it. Bolognese might be a simple dish, but theirs was more than just delicious. I never finish a dish before my boyfriend but this time I did, it was delicious, and if I lived in NY I’d be there again right now. Thank you so much to the staff for making our first dinner as an engaged couple memorable, and thank you to the kitchen for such a delicious meal.

I had the pounded out pork chop, breaded fried, finished with lemon. Crispy tender wonderful flavor. We also had Shrimp Parmigiana along with salad. Great night out with friends. Anderson our waiter had the whole menu in his head. Anderson was very helpful enabling each of us to make our dinner decisions.

You get what you pay. A perfect example of a fancy italian restaurant. Food can be a little bit expensive but it’s worth the experience. Waiters here are well-trained and have what it takes to work at such a high-end restaurant. Food was delicious.

Came here for dinner on a Monday night at 8:30pm and the place was at about 50% capacity. We were the last people to leave at 10:30pm. I loved the food! I recommend the fettuccine and also the tiramisu for dessert. This is a perfect date spot, it was very classy and not pretentious.

We went on a busy Friday night and were able to get a table with minimal notice. The server was okay, had to ask another staff member to refill water and again where our cocktails were. Overall the food was great. The veal was fantastic, as was the burrata. The gnocchi had a perfect texture, just personally felt like the sauce needed a little more dimension. I think a veggie, pancetta, or something could complement the sharpness. The warm brownie at the end was the perfect capstone for a delicious meal.
