Found this place off a quick tik tok search when we were in the area. Definitely was not disappointed. The pizza tasted so good, love a little char. Both pastas were great and left me wanting more.
Definitely do not hesitate to visit Da Nico!

Walking through Little Italy in NYC and likely you will experience hustlers trying to get you in their restaurants. Not Da Nico. Because they dont need to. Their tradition of excellent food and superior service says it all. We include Da Nico on every visit to NYC. Dont skip the veal. It is legit extraordinary. Come hungry.

My favorite Italian restaurant in NY. The ceaser salad is perfectly tangy. The meatballs are big and flavorful. My mom loves the eggplant, whatever way she orders it. Although my favorite thing, and reason we come here, the gnocchi. I get it with vodka sauce. The gnocchi are like fluffy pillows in your mouth. The vodka sauce is perfectly creamy and just delicious. My boys are partial to the wood fired pizza and fresh bread. Hands down best spot in Little Italy!

Really OUTSTANDING food and service. Multi-generation restaurant. Definitely a “do not miss”. The Cacio e Pepe is probably the best in NYC! The owners are almost always around to visit with too.

Loved Nico’s, the lasagna was spectacular and my mom ordered the eggplant parmigiana and it was delicious as well. I had a lichee martini, scrumptious. They also give you these dessert that is complementary, like fried donut centers would be the closest I can imagine to describe it. Definitely a must if you in little Italy.

This is the best Italian food I’ve ever had. The chicken, sauces, pizzas and pastas were all great. The service was very good—they brought us extra waters and breads as soon as we finished them without us even asking! Complimentary dessert was a pleasant surprise. Oh and the best part was the outdoor seating on a quiet, car-free street in the heart of Little Italy; it was a beautiful environment.

We had a party of 11 all with carry on bags and the hostess was still willing to seat us comfortably in an area where we could spread out without any complaint – in fact she suggested the room when we had mentioned sitting out of the way outside. The server was great also with good menu suggestions and attentiveness. As good as the service and atmosphere though – the food was the star of the show for sure! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to get back to town to eat here again !! Even ended dinner with a great cup of cappuccino!

Nice restaurant in Little Italy’s vibrant neighborhood.
Fantastic service with Gabrial in the lead.
Sat upstairs in a packed house.
Food was good.
Asked for evo and received a doctored version with vegetable oil.
Kept asking myself…WHY???

My visit to Da Nico Ristorante was an incredible experience. The place is just a cozy, authentic Italian spot.
The food was absolutely amazing. I got the chicken Parmesan, pasta a la vodka, and shrimp in a spicy red sauce, and honestly, everything was just perfect. They also have an extensive wine selection, which was great with our meal.
The staff was super attentive and friendly. Our waters never went empty, and they were always there when we needed something. The prices are also really reasonable, which is a huge bonus, especially for New York City.
I would definitely recommend Da Nico to any lover of Italian food. I’ll for sure be back soon!
Pro Tip: If it’s a nice day, ask to see the seating out behind the restaurant. The beautiful little courtyard is a great place to grab some lunch or dinner.
