Best Authentic Restaurants in Theater District

Italian family style restaurant, very large dishes - we ordered 1 dish for 4. Delicious food with a cozy atmosphere. Polite service, a little bit slow, but in Italy is much more slower. Great place! Would absolutely return.

Becco never disappoints! Celebrated 2025 with an amazing meal. We all had the Sinfonia di Paste with Caesar salad. Pastas today were: rigatoni with tomato & basil, Semolina Gnocchi alla Romana and fettuccini with veal bolognese & peas. The dishes were absolutely delicious! We shared the Panna cotta for desert.

Exceptional wait staff, very obliging in assisting us in choosing a wine. Guests all loved their food. Spouse felt the salmon was the best ever. I had a gluten-free pasta dish and was disappointed. Would go back.

The food was incredible . Umami for sure. The staff was also amazing. The woman who seated and served us was extremely helpful and attentive to everyone in the restaurant at once. She ran that room like a pro to say the least. It was New Year's day as well the place was packed on a holiday and the staff was taking care of a full restaurant and take-out orders that seemed non stop for the 90 minutes we were there. They earned and deserved the Michelin star. And I loved the sketches of the restaurant that were hung throughout the restaurant among the many old photos . Will definitely be back soon.

Best service ever!! Water glasses were never empty, each course arrived well-timed with the ones around it, wait staff was super helpful and courteous. Food was outstanding in the Appetizer and Salad courses, and mostly very good in the main course. Dishes with homemade pasta (fusilli, ravioli, fettuccini) were generally very tasty, with the veal-stuffed ravioli and its sauce being the best. Simply outstanding. The risotto was disappointing. Not the chef’s best showing, for sure. It was very creamy, but the arborio rice was cooked al dente and the sauce had no flavor. Very un-risotto like. Moving onto dessert, the crème brûlée, vanilla Ricotta torte (cheesecake), flourless chocolate torte and tartufo were all fantastic. We’d definitely go back, but will not order the risotto again.
