    Excellent food. Very crowded and tables are Close together. Not a romantic environment if that is what you are looking for. Solid Italian institution. Pasta and veal dishes amazing. Large portions

    Food was good, restaurant is so busy and too many people packed in. Menu is not easy to navigate. You can’t get a pasta dish you have to order an entree before you can have pasta which is an extra $16 per person - no sharing.

    The food was amazing and so was the atmosphere, the service and ambience. Every staff member was amazing. I love this place. The only thing that would have made my night even better was if Joe and Lydia came out. LOL. I can’t wait to come back.

    The service was great and the staff cordial. I’ve eaten at Becco many times before and was always very happy, but this time I was disappointed. My companion and I ordered the sinfonia di paste. The Caesar salad was delicious and we enjoyed the penne with shrimp. The sweet pumpkin ravioli was not a favorite. My companion was also turned off by its appearance. And the tagliolini primavera had a bland to dishwater flavor - it needed garlic, at least. We shared the panna cotta for dessert. It had no flavor - vanilla would have helped. While I’ve always enjoyed Becco in the past, I’m sorry to say I won’t be rushing back.

    The food is consistently good and the service is impeccable. There are many solid choices on the menu and you can’t go wrong with the homemade pasta.

    I’ve had several excellent meals at Becco in New York City. I have dined at other Joe Bastianich restaurants. I trust that the meal will be well prepared with excellent service- our meal today at Becco, however was not well prepared. We had the Sonfonia di Paste, 3 daily special pastas plus salad or antipasto. Great value but today’s pastas were a disappointment. The pumpkin ravioli sauce was broken and the fettuccine with “scallops” offered two overcooked bay scallops with no seasoning. The red sauce on the penne was garlicky and delish. Joe, you would have been very disappointed in the other two. You would tell the chef it’s terrible and unacceptable. The double espressos were cold and filled with grounds. Not even drinkable. The service was excellent. I get that it’s Christmas week but where were the standards? I brought family and raved about the food from prior visits but was embarrassed at today’s lunch. Not up to Bastianich standards at all.

    Excellent food and service. This was my second night in a row. If we weren’t leaving for home tomorrow I’d come back to Becco tonight.
