Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Begin with the butter-poached oysters topped with caviar or the "mare e monte" (a marriage of scallops, truffles, and bone marrow) before moving on to the toothsome pastas or the robust veal chop. Read more
Fran SuAugust 5, 2016Fresh spaghettini with blue crab--al dente and flavorful. Heirloom tomato salad with grilled peach: refreshing. Knowledgeable, attentive and fun bartender team. Try fiori darancoo, a bourbon cocktail.
nymagJanuary 6, 2012The room is soulless, but Michael White produces some of the best haute Italian cooking in town. One of our best restaurants for 2012!
James H.November 28, 2019Delightful meal Delicious food and great service. Nice ambiance. What more would one want. Michael White is master of pasta and seafood. Both combined here.
Paula BuzzoOctober 16, 2018Impeccable service. We order the five course menu and was devine. Starts with crudo and caviar, next house made Spaghetti, then Lamb (the best), manchego cheese and Chocolate dessert. We recommend.
Sophia LiuJanuary 7, 2017Beautiful decor and great service. Similar menu style and dishes to Marea, but Marea still reigns. 🏆Pictured: crab spaghetti/ Favs: Black ink pasta
Rachel RDecember 19, 2016Amazing ambiance, even better food - awesome Michelin star option for a special occasion. Presentation and service are impeccable. Spiral staircase and rose tree in Christmas time are a treat.
Grace FerraroApril 28, 2013Modern Italian cuisine, fun cocktails, impressive wine list, cool ambiance & attentive service. Mouthwatering menu made selection quite difficult. I highly recommend the Uovo, Granchio and Agnolotti.
Jenna NorthJune 2, 2011The Agnolotti with fava beans is one of the best I have ever had. The prix fixe is a great way to explore the menu. Sommeliers are some of the best and will help you pair your entire experience.
Lamia F.September 8, 2018The service was nothing less than perfect! the food was delicious especially the spaghetti.I also highly recommend you to try the affogato.
Derek SchoeniApril 2, 2013One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I didn't think it possible to find new versions of old European dishes so comforting. Great pasta. Some time with the smart/great bartenders is a must.- Ask for a table by the window; order Crudo di Passera, Insalata di Astice and Polpo appetizers, Trofie Nero and Spaghetti for pasta, Spada and Ippoglosso for fish, Abbachio for meat and Torta di Olio
AmateurConciergeNovember 4, 2015Michael White's ode to expense accounts has great pasta (obviously), generous scotch pours and exceptionally executed appetizers. Great ambience for all you midtown types.
Laurent RaufasteOctober 22, 2019The $29 express lunch is worth it. You have to sit at the counter, but if you are alone or only two, it works!
Jason ShermanFebruary 15, 2015The White Label Burger features a custom dry aged blend from Pat LaFrieda and comes topped with Nueske's bacon, white American cheese (of course!), pickles and pommes dauphines. $22.
JuliaFebruary 13, 2018We visited it during NYC Rest.Week and were so disappointed. Chicken mousse was prepared ahead as it had crusts on the edges, salmon had bones(!!!) inside and try to cut a steak with a dull knife.
S Marks The SpotsMarch 31, 2013One of the best restaurants in NYC! Great service, nice atmposhere, awesome food. Try the softshell crab and the cod with black truffle or the lobster. Advisable to book in advance. Read more
Paola ViscogliosiDecember 27, 2019Anything and everything. We have had the spallina. The gnocchi, the capes are. The lobster soup. It’s all great plus the service and wine. You will never go wrong here.
Veronica HFebruary 27, 2013Pleasantly surprised! Agnolotti veal parcels are a must get and the poached lobster. Get the fluke crudo-it's smothered in caviar and sits in a pool of Mayer lemon and cream
TeresaAugust 17, 2014Ambience, service and food are all amazing. The seafood pasta and main courses are cooked to perfection, and the desserts are decadent.
alison zimmermannMarch 21, 2019Always incredible food and service. Super comfortable seating and great setting for working lunches.
Sherry JuMay 20, 2016One of the best restaurant week experience I ever had. Attentive service and amazing food with innovative dishes.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 17, 2011Take in the beautiful and swanky décor from the bar as you enjoy one of their imaginative cocktails! The Melone e Prosciutto is pure perfection, as is the Apertivo.
Serious EatsApril 16, 2013Michael White's compromise between super-fancy fine dining and his more casual restaurants; it strikes excellent balance between the two.- Michael Fox-RabinovitzMay 2, 2015Good food, absolutely, excellent presentation, solid service great cocktails. Liked the chocolate desserts, sweetbreads, octopus. Good, but definitely not great.
The Food SlutsJune 12, 2012While the atmosphere is a bit corporate, the carefully considered assortment of pastas and fish is sure to please. Try the buttery Nova Scotia lobster ($40) or the excellent desserts. Read more
VivianNovember 19, 2012This place is amazing. Nice ambience, great service, very fancy. Oh and yea the food is delicious. Got the prix fixe of foie gras, duck, and raw scallops.
Eelain SteketeeJuly 21, 2011seafood takes the center stage here. dishes here are lighter and fluffier than other MW joints. great for summer time dining. some favorites: uovo, granchio, torchon.. and any of the fish entrees!
Halstead PropertyOctober 7, 2013The Trofie Nero is definitely not your ordinary pasta dish. The squid ink has a light consistency and is full of character from the crustacean tomato filled sauce topped with softly prepared scallops.
Cara AranetaJune 29, 2013Squid ink pasta, sea urchin cauliflower pans cotta, scallops. Dessert- brioche rum or the strawberry mascarpone shortbread. Best meal this year!
Mike ChauJanuary 26, 2014Try the White Label Burger - 8 oz. prime burger, bacon marmalade, American cheese, fried egg. One of the best burgers ever.
Liz MackJuly 12, 2015Started off slow with amuse bouche and first course, but the trofie nero and buttered lobster were out of this world. Rockin
Harumi UJanuary 3, 2015Beautiful large dining room where you get Michelin star quality food all day without, considering quality and location, breaking bank
!:gem:!April 24, 2011Slide up to the bar and point to anything on the menu. You'll feel as if you've died and gone to heaven. Need to ramp up their sparkling wine selections but otherwise a perfect Saturday evening.- Halstead PropertyJuly 25, 2011Known for its succulent and tender lamb, restaurateur Michael White certainly hit the mark. While there were several choices of the lamb, we opted for the lamb chops, which were masterfully flavored.
One of the best Breakfast in the town 🇺🇸 Egg Benedict is highly recommended
Harriet RuffSeptember 12, 2015Great set lunch menu. Can recommend the lobster bisque and halibut highly!
Dee HJune 28, 2013Delicious burger with bacon marmalade. Plus Jen made me some yummy cocktails at the bar. Highly recommended!
Boon YapOctober 25, 2012Pricey, but well worth exploring the culinary delights hidden within. Creative cooking and impeccable service.
Saneel RadiaApril 15, 2012Try the Butter-Poached Nova Scotia Lobster - Perfectly cooked lobster, and don't worry, the decadent butter doesn't over power the freshness of the dish
EAugust 26, 2015Bone marrow was so delicious! Great extensive selection of wine. Good for special occasions or dining out with parents!
Craig PilantApril 13, 2013If you come here, ask for Michelangelo -- he is terrific and will guide you through the many choices and explain the many dishes here.
CJ GartlandJuly 17, 2013We had the Prix Fixe with wine paring...just fabulous and worth every penny. Can't wait for my next visit!
- Jenna NorthAugust 23, 2011The prix fixe is the best way to experience this fantastic Chef Michael White restaurant. Hristo Zisovski has developed an outstanding wine service and menu.
