Made dinner reservations and we got an amazing family style table in this really amazing, rustic looking, happy vibes place! Noise levels were on the higher end and you had to speak loudly to hear the other person across the table!
José our server was friendly, attentive, and quick with his service. This is a very kid friendly place – so highly recommended for families with kids. At the same time, a great place for date night too.
An extremely well priced menu, with great options is how I’d describe their menu. Our order consisted of Crostini Misti ($10.50), Calamari ($18), Funghi di Prato ($12.50) – an excellent mushroom salad, for appetizers.
Mains included a very tasty (and slightly cheesy) Spinach Gnocchi ($18.50), Penne Arrabiata ($16), and Tagliatelle al Ragu ($18). Kids thoroughly enjoyed their butter pasta which they polished within a few mins!
Overall, we had a great time at this place, and I can clearly see Malatesta become our go-to Italian dinner place on weekdays or weekends. Great service, excellent quality food, and a very well priced menu! Can’t ask for more.

This was our second time visiting Malatesta and it is still exceptional! Food is gourmet and delicious, service is friendly and attentive, and prices are reasonable. Our first time here was in 2021 – we spontaneously chose it for dinner as we were visiting the west village and got hungry while exploring. We had such a memorable experience that we made it a priority to come again in 2025 with our whole family. Same quality and service! We showed up at 5:20 on a Sunday with a party of 5 and got seated right away. I’m both gluten intolerant and egg intolerant and found plenty of options in the menu with the guidance of our waiter. Each dish came out hot and everyone loved the culinary experience! (The grilled calamari appetizer is amazing!) Highly recommend Malatesta and can’t wait to come back again when we visit NYC!

If I could give 10* for this Restaurant, it would be great!
Very cozy and nice ambient, the staf is great, really friendly and helpful, and the food – top of the tops!
Everything what we ate was super delicious!
We had a reservation, so we didn’t wait at all.
Overall, this Restaurant is really worth visiting!

Amazing food at meaningful prices. I had spaghetti chitarra and ravioli pink sauce – both were outstanding. In new york city where everything is overpriced, salute to this place for keeping my faith in the restaurant industry.

We had our 2nd visit on Saturday evening and oh my word, molto bene!!! The ragu is worth the effort to get to this lovely space in the West Village. Prices and portions are perfetto! Grazie mille!!!

Great cozy Italian place. Food is pretty good, not the best in NYC but very fair. The star is definitely coziness. Really like the vibe and it’s nice to sit outside as well. The portions are a bit small I will say.

Unfussy and perfect Italian. Great vibes, great price.
Variety of homemade pastas. I recommend the spinach gnocchi in Gorgonzola.
Fun, intimate, NYC atmosphere. If it’s warm, sit outside!
The tiramisu portions are generous! Most popular item on the dessert menu. The chocolate mousse is also a winner.
Service was slow the night I visited. Maybe they were short staffed. I’m not holding it against them. But don’t expect a fast in-and-out.

This is the most odd restaurant I have ever been to. I have been here many times, and the service has always been bad; the vast majority of the workers are rude and have no personality at all. I like the pasta, so I’ve always accepted this just to eat the food.
Well, today I came in, someone barley gave me the time of day and in a rush said, “sit anywhere where there’s a table for two. Strange as they didn’t even walk me to a table like a normal restaurant would do. I ordered a salad and pasta. The salad had barely any cheese whatsoever. I asked if I could have extra cheese and told the waiter that there was hardly any in it. They brought out extra. Fast forward to the check: they decided to charge me $1.75 extra.
I brought it up to the waiter, and he spoke to a lady about it. She came to me, just looked at me, and barely said anything. I started to explain to her that I was charged extra, but I only asked because there was barely any cheese to begin with, and the server never mentioned I would be charged extra after I asked and told him this. SHE STARTED ARGUING FROM THE JUMP AND THEN IN SUCH A RUDE ATTITUDE SAID, “Well, you’re the one that decided to order something extra.” I replied, “Because there was barely any cheese.” She then proceeded to tell me that that is the normal amount—which would be a joke if it’s true.
After she was rude, I told her I would just take the extra money out of the tip and would never come back after this. She proceeded to bring my card back, didn’t take the amount off, and just put the check on the table without saying a word to me. Extremely rude people here; it is very odd for a restaurant like this to charge $1.75 for cheese. All in all, it was just about the principle of being charged. I won’t be back, and you lost a loyal customer over nickel-and-diming him.

This was our fourth time dining at this restaurant, and we’ve always enjoyed the great food and atmosphere. Last night, we brought my niece and her boyfriend to share the experience and had a lovely dinner with wine. However, after being there for a little over an hour, we were asked to finish up because the next reservation had arrived. While we completely understand how busy the restaurant can get, the request felt a bit rushed and took away from what was otherwise a wonderful evening. We hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests, as we truly do enjoy coming here.

Nice place. The spinach gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce was definitely the highlight of our order, extremely delicious! The grilled portobellos were pretty good and went well with the mozzarella. The tiramisu was just decent (there are better ones in the neighborhood)
