Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Becco, a charming Italian spot in NYC's Theater District, is celebrated for its "fabulous" food and "excellent" service. The pasta specials, particularly the "Sinfonia di Pasta," are a highlight, offering great value. While some find it "very loud," many appreciate the lively atmosphere and prompt pre-theater dining.

    Of course the food was outstanding. It was a bit crowded as the tables were close together but I guess when your restaurant is popular, you've got to accommodate as many as you can. Service was impeccable. Would have loved to have met Lidia. (I know....I know).

    the food & ambience as usual were outstanding. the service was disappointing & uncharacteristically underwhelming--we were told by the hostess in the empty restaurant @1:30pm that we had to take "this table" in the bar upfront by the door when we requested a different location, then the same size party shortly after us without a reservation was seated at the larger, further back table we were repeatedly "passed by" by the pasta servers who were unbelievably re-serving tables on both sides of us even though we had requested additional servings of the daily pastas Good thing this was not our first time at Becco so we hope this horrendous service experience was an aberration not their new normal--definitely tainted our dining experience And of course we still left a hearty tip despite the awful service all around We expect better from this establishment

    The food is the typical American-Italian interpretation of traditional italian cuisine. overall the food is good. Sadly the tempo and the attitude of the staff both at the welcome stage and during the entire meal was quite unfriendly.

    Great value. Good food, big portions, all wines $40, just a little loud during the pre-theater hour but would go back for sure.
