A bit pricey but good.. also good atmosphere..we sat upstairs..I had NY Strip with mushrooms and fries which was enjoyable. Calamari appetizer was very good as well.. also large choice of bottled wine for $45 flat, which is not too bad for NYC

Amazing restaurant. Called to reserve two hours before and they were able to accommodate us. Great service, great food!! Love the all you can eat pasta!! It’s $36.95 for a caesar salad or vegetables, and all you can eat 3 types of pastas!!! Definitely will go back!! Delicious!!

It was good, just nothing exceptional. The salmon was perfectly cooked, the calamari and Caesar salad was very tasty. The brussel sprouts under the salmon were mushy. The pumpkin soup needed salt and the baked pumpkin chips they give on the side turned mushy after a minute. It was the holiday season so very crowded, very busy. The server was meh. The vibe was, he would have been much happier if I had been spending $100 more which is funny because he forgot to bring the wine. At least it wasn’t on the bill.

Wonderful, authentic experience. Food was great! I was there with my coworkers after a conference. We had enough space for 15 at our long table and the room was quiet enough for us all to talk. Definitely a place to come back too if opportunity comes up.

Absolute perfection!! Was a Bucket List Restaurant since Lidia Bastianich is one of my idol chefs. Everything was delicious. The only ding in service was that Google said they were open when I got there at 330pm, but apparently everyone was on a break until 4pm and the hostess was a tad snippy about it? Yet they keep the doors open? Then at 4pm, they shuffled everyone into a small space of the bar area to be seated. Otherwise it was an absolute dream!!!!

What a find! As someone who travels and eats all over the world, it’s hard to find a restaurant that can sing all the notes. The service, ambiance, and of course the food has to be good. At the same time the price point has to be commensurate to the experience. Becco hits all the notes. Their unique spin on their 3 pasta dishes we found unique and fun. The food all was delicious and priced to make you feel you were having a treat but not needing to take out a home equity loan to cover it. We had three courses, (meatball starter, hanger steak, veal picante, and chicken parm, with the three pasta special, and brownie with ice cream to finish). Add in the wine and drinks and we found everything delightful. I’m not sure when I will be back in NYC but when I am, I plan to return to Becco.

Excellent food. Fast service. Be sure to have a reservation. Calamari was excellent and so was every other dish we had. Servers were personable. Service was very fast we were in and out in an about an hour.

Our family considers Becco our favorite restaurant. Not only for the excellent food selection and the Sinfonia, but for the atmosphere and to see our favorite chef, William.
The antipasto miso is a must have for our oldest daughter and the caesar salad it the best I’ve ever had. The burrata is always our go-to appetizer. We leave feeling full, content and looking forward to our next visit. We actually sat upstairs in a room we hadn’t been in before and I was obsessed with the art installation on the wall! How cool!
Looking forward to seeing William (my Elvis!) again in the Spring!

We dined at Becco tonight to celebrate my birthday, excited after years of watching MasterChef and eager to finally try one of Joe Bastianich’s restaurants. Perhaps I had built it up too much in my head, but the experience didn’t quite meet the expectations I had hoped for.
The dining room was crowded and noisy, and we were seated at a very small two-top that made the meal feel like a game of Tetris with plates, glasses, and baskets competing for space.
We started with the antipasto plate, which felt more like a mishmash than a curated appetizer — undercooked vegetables, some beans, a lone cube of cheese, and a few other odds and ends that didn’t come together as a cohesive dish. Since I didn’t want fish, I was brought some whipped ricotta with honey and a bowl of peas. Not really sure how that made sense.
For our mains, we both ordered the popular three-pasta special — pumpkin ravioli, penne vodka with shrimp, and spaghetti with garlic, olive oil, and broccoli. The pastas are brought table-side, though the presentation felt more rushed than refined, with pots carried over and portions simply scooped onto plates.
The food itself was a mixed experience. The pumpkin ravioli was the highlight — flavorful and comforting, though the sauce leaned a bit oily. I appreciated that the waiter accommodated me with penne vodka without shrimp, which was thoughtful. Unfortunately, the spaghetti was undercooked and clumped together, which made it hard to enjoy.
The biggest issue of the evening was our seating location directly under an air-conditioning vent. Between conversation and bites, my entire plate of food became cold before I could finish it — disappointing for a celebratory meal. I packed up my ravioli to go and the rest was tossed in the trash.
Overall, while Becco has its charm and history, the experience tonight felt more rushed and less polished than expected for such a highly regarded restaurant.

Becco is always excellent. I’ve taken many out of town guests for lunch or dinner but my husband had never visited. We went for lunch and had calamari, lasagna, branzino and tiramisu.
