Second time coming here ! Amazing ambiance that is both relaxing, calm, and home-y. It's a quiet reprieve from the hustle of nyc that allows you to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal. Service is also top notch and Chef Michael is such a kind individual that makes you want to come back. Can't recommend enough !!!

I ordered from this spot on Uber eats. Looking at the pictures, I opted for the jerk veggies. When the order arrived I wasn't sure what was in front of me, it looked like mush and I even thought that the delivery person gave me the wrong order. After skimming their reviews I realized it was my order, but that the item looks nothing like the image associated with the order. The flavor profile was subpar and I ultimately couldn't get through more than three bites. I keep hearing about this spot and was excited to try it but at the price point of real oxtails for a plate of mush, it's a no for me

My partner, 5 month old daughter, and I wandered in for an early dinner and were treated with open arms and delicious food. Chef Michael and his son were incredibly warm, gracious and fun to interact with. Chef Michael entertained our daughter while we devoured our meals. The salmon is a must and we loved the Thai-Fi stew. Ital Kitchen will without a doubt turn into a regular hangout for us.

Everything was delicious - so much flavor and spice in each dish. I especially enjoyed the Noxtail stew :) Really intimate and cozy space, just a tad bit on the expensive side for all vegetarian / the smaller portion size but worth it.

This cozy restaurant was like stopping by a family members house for a good home cooked meal. In this case sooooo good. We ordered the Ital Veggie Jerk Chicken and the Thai-Fi Stew. Absolutely delicious, seasoned well, and made with a whole lot of love. Then we ordered the carrot cake. It was so good that we ordered another piece and it was the last piece of cake. We will be back.

Food is fresh and tasty. The service was good and the price was a fair price for the portion amount and flavorful cuisine I have experienced. I'm a repeated customer. Live, love and laugh. - Sha

This place is amazing! The food, the outdoor sitting, the service. It fast became a favorite!
Returned here a few years later because I remember how good the food before was. And I was delighted to be right once again!Vegetarian Caribbean food, need I say more?! The flavors are bangin'! The staff is so nice and the ambiance has a relaxing and grounding energy. The food is no-frills, pure amazing, healing flavor. I think the price was a little high for the portion size, but the quality of the food and the fact that they have to run their business, I understand. The kitchen is right in front and you can see the owner and staff making the food in real-time which is so homey, like another Yelper has said before. Me and other customers were even asked if we wanted more rice with our food which again reminds of loving home-cooked meals.Hope to come back often!

I had turmeric stew and a piece of carrot cake for dessert. The stew's flavorings were well balanced and the vegetables cooked perfectly. The portion of carrot cake I was served was huge. I wasn't expecting a buttery/creamy icing. But it was also delicious as was everything about this place. Very comfortable back patio that you get to through the kitchen. Chill music and furnishings. I'll come back here.

Food is delicious. It did take long (they already state that on the menu, so I was mentally prepared). It was a fun experience walking through the kitchen.

My partner and I had an amazing night at this beautiful restaurant. I was surprised at the cozy outdoor/backyard seating area. The food was great and the vibe was excellent. The service was spectacular and made me feel welcome & at home. A little paradise in the concrete jungle.
