Gracious service, delicious food, elegant cocktails, heavenly dessert. I come here often.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 15, 2010Come here anytime, but Brunch is spectacular. Start with the Uova al Contadino and the Salumi Misti. Don’t fill up and have some pastries too…Brioche Caramellato.
Milena ArciszewskiAugust 20, 2012I have flown across the country to eat in NYC and this is where I came to brunch. Favorites: scrambled eggs and ricotta pancakes. Both.
Jennifer LiddleNovember 4, 2014Loved the bruschetta. Was a unique twist of ricotta and I think honey and hazelnuts. Was so good!!
Tasting TableMarch 7, 2012Go big at Maialino: This Gramercy restaurant is now offering the option of a large-format, whole pig feast in its private dining room. Dinner feeds 8 to 18 guests and costs $165 a head. Read more
Kitman LeungJuly 27, 2012Their flour-less chocolate cake with buttermilk ice cream is so amazing. Don't leave without trying!!!
Danny MartinApril 28, 2011Foods are paired with unique sauces and expertly mixed in smaller portions. The bread pudding is the dessert to get; don't be surprised by the pool of a slightly bitter chocolate hidden within.
The Food SlutsJune 12, 2012While mostly known for dinner, brunch is great, too. Try the sweet ricotta pancakes ($15) and the delicious pork sausages ($7). Read more
Hayley AnthonyJune 14, 2015The bread they start you with (from Sullivan St Bakery) is amazing, but try not to fill up on it, because everything else is too.
It would be fun to make a top five list of must eat Italian restaurants in NYC. I think they'd be in the list.
- It's a goal of mine to master the cacio e pepe soft scramble. Beware the pre-work food coma though.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 1, 2011The Roman Trattoria of the moment. Danny Meyer never ceases to amaze with stellar food and the best service standard in New York City. Peppered chicken on Arugula. So simple, so good.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMarch 21, 2015Fantastic food, try the mozzarella appetizers, moffata pasta, light desserts, can't miss
Honghui YuSeptember 26, 2016Delicious brunch with very good coffee... Prices are a little but remember tip is included!
Patrizia CavaliereSeptember 9, 2013Incredible place. It won't matter what you order, the food will blow your tongue and mind. Great crowd too...
Gabriela GolińczakMarch 24, 2015Nice pork ragu. Great place to grab se snacks and glass of wine. Happy hours between 5-7 pm
David SJanuary 31, 2014Besides the food being exquisite the staff is by far one of the most professional knowledgable I've seen in the business.
Don't miss the Lumaconi and if you happen to be there after 1030pm don't miss the burger!
Bruno Ancona LopesOctober 10, 2015Serves Incredible breaskfast. The pork hash and the pancakes are insane! Best in class :)
Nicolette RomeroJuly 2, 2015The pre-fixe lunch menu is well worth it! Try the prosciutto app and carbonara!- The suckling pig is great but too much for two people. The cacio e pepe is fantastic as is the pizza bianca in the bread basket. Tripe is a bit rubbery. Save room for affogato to finish.
The ricotta pancakes are always fantastic. Don't forget the bacon!
Colleen QuinnSeptember 18, 2011They are open for breakfast so you can send them here early, meet them there for a quick coffee closer to 9 or 10am and then take them over to the Teddy Roosevelt Birthplace house...
HOBNOB MagazineFebruary 21, 2011simple—and simply delicious Roman fare—caring service. always an interesting, foodie and industry crowd. Spigola sea bass.
Julia KristinJanuary 25, 2014I really enjoyed having dinner here! You can add fresh black truffle to every meal!
Morgan PolotanMarch 24, 2015Get the orchestra sandwich. They also do all of their breads and pastas gluten-free.
Great cocktails and wine. Their pastas are made from scratch and delicious. Try it all!
Shermans TravelAugust 15, 2012The design scheme recalls a Roman trattoria (glass cases enclose meats and cheeses), all set by a park that’s a visual treat any season.
Gilt CityDecember 5, 2011Just when you think the meal can't get any better, it's time to try their fantastic chocolate cake with buttermilk gelato.
MrsCorksterApril 1, 2015Romantic + authentic setting. Enjoyed the different brunch choices. Didn't feel like lingering though.
Kurt HaaMarch 4, 2016I never tried their lunch or dinner menu, but their breakfast. I got a rosemary pecorino scramble eggs, it wasn't special..- Lee SimpsonFebruary 25, 2017Really good tasting menu and you don't need to tip the staff because it's included.
A fave breakfast spot- frittata, yogurt and olive oil muffin are must-haves
Kinjil MathurJanuary 6, 2015The cacio pepe eggs for brunch is a must. So rich yet surprisingly light!
Michael ClarkFebruary 22, 2017Some very good variety to the menu. Olive oil poached cod is smoother than silk.
The Cacio e Pepe eggs at breakfast is one of the finest dishes in all the land.
Super well executed modern italian dishes which are both Fresh & Innovative. Well- Must get - ask for the Maialino Al Forno... suckling pig! Amazing.
Brian DeVitoSeptember 25, 2016Everything here for brunch and late night is pretty great. Now with service included.
This is the best meal I've ever had in New York. The lamb neck will change your life. It will end wars.
