We had been wanting to go to Via Carota for a long time and could never get a reservation. We decided to put our name down and were given a table in 45 minutes — worth every single minute of the wait.
Absolutely sublime food. You can truly tell how much care goes into everything they do. The fresh egg pastas are outstanding, the salad was spectacular, and the bruschetta with house-made bread was incredible. Everything was flawless.
The space is super cozy and beautiful, and the service was a solid 10/10.
The egg tagliatelle with prosciutto was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had in my life. That butter… simply wow. No words.
10/10 — we will definitely be back. ✨

We had a very memorable dinner here. The ambience is surprisingly calm and non pretentious. Had to wait for 20 mins on a Thursday night which was fine because there was excellent jazz being played next door at Arthur’s which you could enjoy. Folks in the restaurant were nicest. We ordered the specials pasta and bruschetta. Everything we had was just excellent. One of those places which makes west village special

Woah. This place was very high on my list to visit. A reservation opened up, so I jumped on it. The restaurant blew me away. The service, food, and atmosphere were all immaculate. The risotto, and carrot were the stand outs. Those carrots were one of the best dishes I’ve ever tried. Will definitely be back.

Great restaurant, but not sure if it lives up to the hype. Highlights were the vegetable dishes which is where I think this restaurant shines. The artichoke with aioli dip was heavenly. The cacio e pepe was tasty, but we found the bison pappardelle a bit dry. The wine menu by the glass can be significantly improved, in my opinion. The white etna was super basic and left a lot to be desired.
We walked in at 2pm on a Thursday in December without a reservation and didn’t have to wait for a seat.

This is hands down the best rabbit dish I’ve had on the East Coast, even better than the bistro I tried in Boston.
The hostess was wonderful and super kind; we walked in and were seated right away. We’ve been so lucky lately
The pasta was on the oilier side, but incredibly flavorful and aromatic. Absolutely delicious.
Will definitely be coming back!

Finally I found a bank holiday when I could face up the line to get a table and it was worth it. I was seated at a lovely communal table but with enough privacy. Food didn’t disappoint although our fish dishes were a bit heavy on the salt but still very yummy. Definitely worth the waiting for a table.

Couldn’t get a reservation, so we walked in on a Saturday afternoon and waited about an hour and a half—but it was worth it! The vibe at Via Carota is amazing, full of energy and charm.
We tried the famous tonnarelli and it absolutely lived up to the hype—the pasta was perfectly cooked with great texture. The polipo was another highlight: it smelled incredible, and the outside was deliciously crispy.
If you’re willing to wait, Via Carota is a must-visit for unforgettable pasta and a lively atmosphere.

Overall, Via Carota was a great experience. We walked in after standing in line at 4:30 and were offered a table after waiting for about 10 minutes for either 5pm (immediate seating) or 6:15. We chose the second option so returned back later to sit down. We had a lovely table by the window and our server was great. We were offered complementary castelvetrano olives marinated in olive oil. We then ordered bread and olive oil, the leaks with sheep cheese curds, the radicchio salad (I forget the name of it on the menu), the artichokes, and caccio e peppe pasta. The pasta was the star of the show—hands down the best caccio e peppe I’ve ever had. The artichokes were also insanely delicious and lemony, served with a delicious aioli. However, the salad was really heavy. There was so much oil, that it pooled at the bottom of the dish and there was so much cheese I sometimes got a full mouthful of it. At first we weren’t sure if it was just a really heavy salad and it wasn’t to our taste, but then we saw another one come out to the table next to us that was dressed much more lightly. I think ours ended up getting too much dressing and cheese, so we weren’t even able to finish it, and we both love radicchio salad a lot! So that was a shame. The leeks also fell a bit flat. They were really nicely crunchy on the bottom and tender in the middle, but were under seasoned so we needed extra salt (there is not much of the salty cheese curds on top). The flavor was also not very multidimensional when compared to the rest of the meal. So overall, we really enjoyed it and I’d be willing to give it a second shot but it did not fully live up to the hype.

Really nice spot for a casual lunch. People insisting this is worth the reservation/ 3-4 month wait… it’s not THAT good. Truffle burrata and fennel salad are both okay. Best item was the cacio e pepe. Leeks I would skip

I was curious to check out this place because I adore Italian food and because of Taylor Swift taste.
We had Negronis, svizzerina and pasta. The food itself was very tasty, the meat was fantastically cooked.
However, the service felt a bit rushed. A server assistant was in a hurry to clear the table and removed some of our half-eaten olives, and kept trying to take my plate while we were still eating.
Hear me out – sometimes guests just want to eat and talk without being rushed. We know about 90 minutes rule. It was also slightly noisy.
Overall, if you’re looking for a bit more privacy, I recommend requesting a table by the window or bar as you seat close to each other.
In general would come back as everything was clean and beautifully presented.
