New York PostSeptember 21, 2014The minestrone at Del Posto is poured over basil tortellini for a great tasting vegetarian meal. Or try the Luna piena, a giant raviolo, filled with Castelmagno cheese and shaved black truffles. Read more
ᴡ ElliotMay 28, 2015The service is second to none, especially at Richard's tables. Seafood lovers, go with the octopus, then dungess crab, poached lobster, and grilled semolina cake. Or anything - it's all amaze
AmateurConciergeSeptember 23, 2018Years later it’s still a beautiful space with impeccable service and fantastic Italian food. Ribeye is amazing. Only complaint: even the 5 course is too much food. Skip the ricotta pasta supplement.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014A perfect Neapolitan seafood salad, an unfried and unmemorable artichoke appetizer, a stunning dish of hand-rolled pici pasta with black truffles, and lamb done three ways (chop, roulade, meatballs). Read more
The Corcoran GroupNovember 4, 2013The ultimate place to celebrate a special occasion. Do the 5 course prix fixe and order: Truffled Beef Crudo, Pork & Veal Agnolotti, Lasanga, the Duck or Lamb, and the Tortino to finish off.
Nicolette RomeroMay 24, 2015Upscale dining at it's finest! The service is impeccable and you will leave stuffed if you try the 5 course tasting menu. The lobster Caesar salad, spaghetti with crab and burnt beef were amazing.
naveenNovember 1, 2016one of my favorite meals in nyc. great for special occasions and/or if you have a big party too (see: the private back room).
Debora FacchiniJune 2, 2013This place is gorgeous. It's like stepping back in time, to a classic Hollywood 1940's movie set of a Grand Hotel. The food n service is uncredible. The Slow cooked veal n the pasta was an experience!
Andres ZirlingerMay 14, 2017Probably best service in town. Great drinks and atmosphere. The food in incredible although 1-2 dishes are a bit lacking. I have been there 8 times and never left disappointed. Highly recommend it!
Michael ChenApril 8, 2016Despite the grand dining room, the experience manages to be surprisingly intimate in the best way possible. Leave the decision making up to the impeccable staff and you won't be disappointed.
Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014There are 130 layers in the 100 layer lasagna! Start with bolognese, besciamella and marinara, then add sheets of super thin pasta and repeat and repeat and repeat. Assembly takes 1.5 hours! Read more
Serious EatsMarch 14, 2013The formal, fine dining jewel in Mario Batali's restaurant empire; consider their weekday prix-fixe lunch for the same exquisite food at a much lower price.
Pamela ValoreSeptember 5, 2015outstanding in every way! I had the minestrone (fresh, crisp (unbelievable!), poached lobster (best I ever had; to use an over-used phrase, but succulent(, & the celery sorbet is OUT OF THS WORLD!
Ashley ChanMarch 25, 2017Fancy and intimate setting; ideal for a nice meal with the parents. The food is very pricey, but it was still an enjoyable meal. My favorite dishes were the scampi linguini and lamb chops.
Wilson ZhouApril 12, 2016The most showstopping dishes, intended for sharing, include hunks of lamb and veal and pitch-perfect risotto for two. The all-Italian wine list is suitably encyclopedic and exorbitantly priced-TimeOut- Teddy LuApril 5, 2015got the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing and loved it. every dish was good, and most of the wines were good. believe it or not, the bread and olive oil was spectacular and very memorable
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Batali-Bastianchi's Michelin-starred Italian restaurant continues to offer one of the best lunches in the city, where you'll find standouts such as the Heritage Pork Trio and Vitello Tonnato.
Halstead PropertyOctober 7, 2013Treat yourself to the five course meal to taste as much authentic food as you can. We loved our Asian Spiced Duck cooked perfectly medium rare & complimented by a unique mix of hazelnuts and cherries.
GQ MagazineSeptember 22, 2015Chef Mark Ladner is quietly one of the best Italian chefs in the city, but Del Posto, a soaring, ultra-lavish spot in New York’s trendy Meatpacking District couldn’t seem less subtle.
Amanda KludtNovember 3, 2014Probably some of the best desserts being served at any New York restaurant. If you don't want to commit to a full dinner here, have a drink at the bar and order a pasta and a dessert.
Marisa WongApril 11, 2017Lunch is just as filling & decadent as dinner but at less than half the cost! Lunch is only available Mon to Fri and takes about 3 hours to get through all the courses. Perfect way to spend a day off!
Nick GallotJuly 8, 2017Those homemade cheese balls and house made mini baguettes are soo good. Those two are the reason for me to go there, on and on. Food is of course very good too
CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014One step into this space and you immediately understand why it has a Michelin star and a four-stars from the NYT. And that’s even before you taste Mark Ladner’s amazing food!- CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014The three-course prix fixe lunch for $39 is one of the best deals in town! And because we’re little piggies we always go for the additional pasta course!
- James H.November 18, 2016Delicious meal. Better than expected. Instead of butter or olive oil. You are provided this delicious homemade cream spread.
Reb FSJuly 15, 2013I still can't believe how delicious this food (and wine) was. It's $$$$ by any standard, but absolutely incredible. Luna piena pasta, truffled carne cruda antipasto and olive oil gelato are standouts.
Alice EunjinApril 30, 2015The small plates to start the meal, bread selection, green salad, chicken sausage orecchiette and butterscotch semifreddo were all amazing. And the service is great! 👍🏻
refinery29August 3, 2014The Hundred Layer Lasagna has nearly become infamous not just for its size, but for its lengthy preparation time, as it steeps overnight to let the flavor set in. Read more
Rishav KFebruary 12, 2016The regular tasting menu is excellent, highly recommend it; however the vegetarian tasting menu (after advance notice) was something the chef should be really ashamed of- James H.March 29, 2018So many delicious options. Be brave and try something new and different. You will be delighted.
- Anji PDecember 30, 2016Absolutely delicious food that can be customized as your dietary restrictions may require. I was served an outstanding tasting menu that was vegetarian and egg-free.
Chefs FeedAugust 2, 2016Eggplant in a dessert is only something I trust in the hands of the right pastry chef. Brooks Headley's version at Del Posto is utterly delicious. Read more
- ᴡ ElliotMay 28, 2015There are 5 sommeliers on staff to help decipher the wine list - the most comprehensive Italian wine list in the U.S.
AhmedFebruary 21, 2014Place is gorgeous! Spectacular interior design + top notch service + amazing food= perfect and worth ever evening. Tuscan feel in grandiose style all the way!
Todd HulinOctober 7, 2017Heavenly. Go for the eight course tasting menu with wine pairing and prepare to be transported to a happy place.
Michelle OldhamJuly 6, 2013Another Mario Batali gem!! This restaurant is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been in! Food and service were off the charts! More upscale than Babbo.
Jamie ShawJuly 28, 2015The single best meal we've ever eaten. Lovely, hospitable waiting staff and fantastic atmosphere.
Alex FishJune 15, 2015Go for lunch...same great service for half the price. And yes, do get the pasta course.

Claire J SongJune 3, 201516 - 400 for a seated reception. The largest private room, called The Piemonte, has the look of a wine cellar, with arched ceilings and lots of candle lighting.- GQ MagazineJune 7, 2012You can't do better than simple, fragile pasta e fagioli soup with crunchy fried ditalini pasta and a soft tripe-and-andouille meatball. Or try the 100 Layer Lasagna!
Douglas EllimanAugust 5, 2014A classy atmosphere with great service. We love their Spaghetti with Crab. We are salivating just thinking about eating here! We can’t wait to come back.
Mark GraciaFebruary 16, 2016Big food, big wine and great times. Amazing wine list pairs well with hand made pastas, try the 100 layer lasagna.- James H.March 29, 2018Delicious food and amazing service. Always been good but today it was the best ever.
Aileen TseDecember 28, 2013great weekday lunch deal - the vitello tonnato and garganelli are particularly memorable - veal with creamy tuna sauce and perfect ragu bolognese!
Kate AJanuary 24, 2012Five courses was more than enough. It was particularly fun with a group, so you can sample each others intricate and delectable dishes. The Sommelier was amazing, great recommendations.

Del Posto is the richest and most refined creation of Joe Bastianich, Lidia Bastianich and Executive Chef Melissa Rodriguez. In October of 2010, Del Posto received a glowing four-star review from The New York Times, the first Italian restaurant to do so in nearly 40 years...
