    The food was delicious and prices were fair, but they have at least twice as many tables as would be comfortable for the space. We were wedged into a corner so tight that we had to ask two nearby tables to stand up and move whenever we got up. The server had to pass all of our plates over the table next to us to reach us, and I couldn’t hear my husband at all. Very yummy, but not inviting or comfortable at all.

    Becco never disappoints. Great food and large servings at moderate prices. Lydia would be very happy with her chef. Calamari was delicious and served piping hot. I enjoyed the lemon chicken and my date tried the fugato. It was superb. Topped off the evening with ricotta cheesecake....

    I used to come here many times and have not been back for awhile I thought the pasta was very average. I couldn’t even eat the lasagna which tasted burnt.

    This was my second time here and it did not disappoint. The food is well prepared and delicious and the menu has a variety of dishes to choose from. We all enjoyed the food we ordered (chicken, short ribs, stuffed peppers). I also love that there’s no music blasting - it’s so hard to find a place where I can actually hear the other people at my table! Attentive service, cozy ambiance, reasonable prices - and a great location!

    This restaurant was great. We arrived at 8:50 for a 9 PM reservation. We were not seated until about 9:30 or 9:40 which was a little annoying, but the coach check gentleman did tell us that it was the busiest Saturday night of the year for some reason. It was a great meal. Everything was delicious. We tried the tableside all you can eat pasta and my husband had the chicken Parmesan, which was cooked to perfection. The prices were standard for Italian food in the city. You can come casual. There is no real dress code the servers were great. I really enjoyed our meal.

    Food was excellent, had the chef's 3 pastas. The service was good as well. Took off one star because we were seated at a very small table with 2 chairs almost side by side. There was barely enough room on the table for the plates and glasses. The restaurant was very crowded, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation. They do offer a coat check which is nice. Overall very good food and value.

    Wonderful service. Our server Riccardo was very good and welcoming with my wife and 2 young kids. The all u can eat pasta waa totally fresh and NOT watered down like some reviews I read. I highly recommend this place. If I could say one tiny thing. The Ceasar salad was a little above average. Could be better for an Italian restaurant. 5 star visit. Thanks Becco

    The 3 pasta dinner is a great deal and delicious. The service was good despite there being a very large party across from us. Had the apple strudel for dessert and was disappointed. The crust was very hard and when you cut it the filling (which was very soft) went everywhere. The cinnamon gelato served with it was a great accompaniment. Overall the meal was very good.
