Overall I felt like this place was kind of meh. I would describe it as average at best. I don’t mind paying premium prices for a high quality experience and food but I felt let down after spending $150 for a cheeseburger, salmon and veggie meal and a glass of wine (no appetizer and no dessert). I was seated right in front of the bathroom and my waiter just disappeared after taking our order. We sat the entire meal with the empty bread basket and plates that were finished just sitting there. If you are looking for a place that matches the high end prices this is not the place.

You can’t get more family than this placeAuthentic cuisineMy favorites are the lasagna, chicken Parm or Marsala, and of course, their spaghetti and meatballs will transcend you. #

The food was good, especially the bread. Calamari and tuna tartar were delicious. However, the most delicious antipasti was Bufala Mozazarella. On the other hand, pasta special, such as pesto, was cooked right, but it had too much sauce. Also, the owner, who is very old school, is not the friendliest person. I would give a 5 star if it was not for those 2 factors

Nice restaurant. Great atmosphere. The servers were very attentive. We were a group of 4 having dinner after a Broadway show. Three of us chose from the special. A pasta dish with capers, tomato sauce and fresh tuna. Sorry, can't remember the name but it was very delicious. Ordered a pizza as an appetizer. Very good also.

It's been a while since my husband and I have found a restaurant that is great from beginning to end. Last night we visited Petrarca for our anniversary and we absolutely loved it, from beginning to end. It's a gem of a restaurant with very good quality food, great service and reasonable prices. We will be back when we are in NYC again

Love it here; we had late Saturday lunch, pasta (pumpkin ravioli + orecchiette) and tiramisu … comfortable space, great food, friendly service.

This NYC classic never disappoints. The service is always great, the food delicious and the atmosphere is cozy and romantic. The owners are a wonderful family who always makes you feel like you are part of their family! Highly recommend.

Place looks nice, the waitress and the guy who brought our drinks were great, but the food took almost a half an hour to arrive (it was really good though). But the issue was the environment. The clientele are rather rude and the owner or manager (some old lady) just stood behind our table glaring at us. We felt very unwelcome.
Insanely expensive for 2 small pizzas and 3 beers.

As always, pretty much a perfect meal and great experience. From buratta with speck to pasta to lamb shank special to ricotta cheese cake everything was just delicious . But mostly it is friendly service and casual yet refined atmosphere that make it special. Been numerous times and will certainly be back.
Great food and
