    One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in Manhattan. Great atmosphere, the perfect combination of rustic and modern. The food is exceptional. My favorites are the buratta and the skate.

    Cozy & romantic atmosphere, you're transported to Italy when you walk in. Razor claims and polenta are delicious starters, even the bread is served w/ fresh ricotta. Venison cut was very tasty.

    Amazing razor clams. Rabbit is served once a week (literally one rabbit a week), and we got lucky. But it was tough. The mushrooms, pearl onions, fava beans and arugula it sat on top of, was amazing.

    Beautiful space and intimate. Wait for your table with a glass of wine and free olives by the seating at the front. There's also a smaller, cosier space downstairs.

    Ambiance is the perfectly rustic yet refined. Perfect for dinner with your bae or a special night with friends. The squid ink risotto I had was out of this world

    Great vibes - had the chicken - good but a tad dry, squash, cantiva wine, and brady had the pesto lamb pasta. Beautiful ambiance. Loved the wine.

    Peasant made me feel like I stepped out of NYC into a little rustic Italian town. With the wood oven in the back cooking all your dishes, to the exposed brick this is a place to dine and enjoy.

    Incredible Italian food and service. The fresh bread and oil to begin with was beautiful. The burrata starter was fantastic and the white chocolate bread and butter pudding is out of this world!!

    The ambiance was truly amazing if you are looking for a rustic, chic Italian spot. Loved the service. Their specialty is anything cooked in their specialty oven. Bream fish was good and light.

    Great dining experience despite the attitude of our server. Just because we're young doesn't mean we don't know how to tip...we're very aware Rocco. Amazing ambiance & the ricotta/bread served is 👌

    Great place for entertaining clients. My guests snapped photos of the roasting suckling pig immediately. I would go early (~6 pm) for business meetings as it got quite loud as the evening progressed.

    Pro-tip: if the restaurant is packed, walk outside and down the stairs on the left to give their cellar a try. Same menu and first-come, first-served.

    Get the spaghettini with sea urchin, so tasty! Loved the razor clams as well, and bread with ricotta and olive oil is awesome!

    Most amazing meal I've had in a long time in the city. From the wine to the appetizers to dessert, everything was delectable. Everyone should dine here once.

    The wood-fired lamb and the gnocchi with morels are perennial favorites. Note: Peasant is best enjoyed in the fall and winter months. [Eater 38 Member]

    So authentic! ❤ the ricotta spread with the bread- amazing! The popular pork dish wasn't as good as expected. The black truffle gnocchi was creamy and not a strong truffle smell or taste.

    Burrata appetizer with roasted tomatoes was delicious. Lamb ragu was also tasty with lamb flavor albeit little visible lamb. A thoughtful selection of wines and a pleasant bar.

    Fittingly, rustic dishes are best: Choose shimmery sardines; sizzling, golden-skinned hen; or pleasant suckling pig liver, all pulled from the wood-burning oven. -TimeOut

    Unreal service. They know every dish and wine incredibly well. Can't go wrong with anything, but the uni spagettini is heavenly.

    Perfectly cozy for New York winter. The bocconcini was excellent. And the Fettucine al Ragu Vittero was one of the best pastas I've ever eaten.

    Frank Decarlo's countryside Italian restaurant has long been a staple on the first-date circuit. The room is warm and the food, mostly cooked in clay pots, impossibly comforting. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    Go downstairs Friday nights! Joel and Mauricio run the show down there. They serve delicious Italian dishes, well priced wines by the glass, and carafes. Get the white pizza!!

    Pizza crusts are impeccably delicious, octopus spicy and memorable. Gorgeous rustic environment takes you right to Tuscany.

    Seafood lovers, you've gotta get the Acciuga E Radice. The cuttlefish is well-cooked and a lil crunchy! Then, get the spaghetti con scampi for your entree. The shrimps are decent!!

    Some of their main entrees do not come with sides...I had the Orata and tried my BF's Suckling Pig head. Delicious!

    The venison was awesome, not gamey at all. Limited bar, for my likes.. Couldn't make certain cocktails. Good aperitivo/digestivo selections. Nice wine list. This is where they make a killing.

    If you're "adventurous" and there early, order the suckling pig head. Eat whatever you can stick a fork in and you won't regret it
