Stacy Curtin: The burrata mozzarella is amazing!
DLee: Excellent Italian food. Everyone is right about the spaghetti al limone, & if you love cheese, you will LOVE the burrata mozarrella. But the drinks are small and overpriced.
Johanna: Share the burrata if it's on the daily specials, and follow with spaghetti al limone for the best monochromatic meal you'll ever have.

Ranu Rajkarnikar: Casual, inexpensive new addition to the neighborhood. The $7 burrata appetizer might be the best deal in town. Good meatballs, panini and pastas too, all under $10!
Sara Marsh: Very affordable and very delicious! You can't beat $7 burrata
Annie Alfstad: Burrata and apps were bangin! Pasta was good, great for the price. Nice vibe!

Bill Austin: Rigitoni Ragu mmm delicious! Also if they have it (thurs-sun) the burrata is amazing.
Anna Platis: The Burrata is rediculously good. It's served in olive oil with fresh basil, and tomato slices that are toped with salt, pepper and aged balsamic. Absolute perfection!
Noël Paasch: The burrata is unbelievable and the Tagliatelle Funghi is out of this world. The servers are great. One of the best spots in NYC.

Theory: NY. Gemma’s location in the Bowery Hotel and menu make it a great place to dine with friends. Sidewalk seating in the summer is a bonus. Must try: the burrata, grape tomato & black olive pizza.
Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Great ambiance, polenta fries are great, as is chicken liver crostini and burrata. Try the spare ribs and scallop for main
Karima: The truffled polenta fries, breakfast pizza, burrata and complimentary banana bread w apple butter are all the reasons I keep going back.

Nikki Bogopolskaya: Tough to snag a table but super easy to sit at the bar. I recommend: burrata bruschetta, stuffed meatballs, tagliolini. The pastas+apps are much bigger than you'd expect so no need to order entrees!
Belle Huang: Lively atmosphere, great spot to catch up with a friend over small plates. Get the squid ink campanelle and short rib raviolini. The burrata is fresh and creamy. Split a bottle of wine and enjoy!
Sarina Tesoriero: Spaghetti with clams and squid ink capanelle are delicious! Can't go wrong with burrata and prosciutto!

hope chu: Great cocktails. Love the hot nuts, burrata, and brussels. Sadly the service is negligible at best and at worst, the server will mix up your cards, charge you incorrectly, and won't be sorry at all.
Caterina Abballe: My friend and I had the burrata and a whole bunch of cocktails and other things. We went for brunch so the bar was nice and quiet. All of it was amazing the bartenders are the nicest.
Christina: The burrata is really amazing. Followed by breakfast tacos and a smoked & roasted (mezcal, pineapple, chipotle agave), then coffee from Ninth Street Espresso around the corner.
Kayleigh Harrington: Pasta! Get a bottle of wine, burrata and any of the handmade pastas. Papardelle is a favorite.
Cole Kennedy: Among the more perfect restaurants in Alphabet City. The fresh pasta, the lowbrow but fun house wine, and even the witty art — all wonderful.
Patrick Mowrer: It’s like being in Rome

Michael Anthony: Chopped cheese rice cake, kimchi burrata and the burger are amazing.
Eric Gonzalez: Get there truffle burger and the fried tater tots and you’ll leave happy
Tim Deng: kind of mid, service slow, and they are not very good about taking dietary restrictions into account.

ドーラ: Try the margherita or the Pugliese, a refreshingly non-dry pizza bianca topped with burrata, broccolini, spicy sausage and chilies. There's also a selection of burrata-topped crostini and cured meats.
Brian DeVito: I think probably my favorite a lot in this saturated neighborhood. Brussel sprout. Roast pepper app with burrata!
DoubleDeuce: Fantastic place. Come with your date. Not too expensive, not too loud, decent location. Always lots of neighborhood options to move along if it's going well.

Steakhouse · East Village · 98 tips and reviews
AmateurConcierge: Broiled oysters and burrata are both excellent starters and the gratis rice balls. They tout the Bowery Steak but I didn't love the texture of the rolled steak. Donuts and coffee are a nice dessert.
Dana D: The melt-in-your-mouth delectableness of the Bone-In filet and the NY Strip steaks will have you thinking you're eating butter. Top-notch wine list and great decor as well. A must for meaties.
Thrillist: Go for the the broiled oysters (w/ garlic, breadcrumbs, and Romano), stay for the duck lasagna. Read more.

Tarah Feinberg: Try the Burrata - Best creamy cheese from Italy.
Joey J: Great burger, Gnocchi, Kale Salad, Burrata, Chicken Pot Pie, Bibbity-Bop :). Everything is great.
How To Make It In America: One-size-fits-all kind of place that's open early and late. A varied American menu with something for everyone, a hopping bar, plenty of tables in a buzzy room and a photo booth in the basement.

Olessya K: Service, food, atmosphere... everything - impeccable! Michelin recommended for a reason. Cacio e Pepe pasta is out of this world, just like in Rome. So is duck ragu pasta & burrata appetizer. 5 stars
Magnus von Koeller: Don't miss the beautiful back garden in summer.
Josh Newman: The pasta with romano and black peppercorn is the single greatest pasta dish I have ever had.
