Really good food! Will return for Cacio e pepe. A bit expensive and over rated for sure. $15 for slice of Tiramisu was a bit much! Portion sizes are good.

The food is delicious. The service is great. But management, we were told, is horrible. We were told that only some staff get fed, that it is a toxic workplace, etc.

Overrated, came at 5 and there was a line to put our name down for a table of 2 while it was raining. Eventually someone attended to us, told us there was no wait if we sat outside. We agreed. Whole night servers would try to take our dishes away as we were still working on it. At the end we ordered dessert and a glass of wine and after we got our dishes , they told us they were behind on tables as they gave us the bill. Insinuating we had to leave. They should’ve gave us a time limit if they were going to be so rude the whole time! We spent a $100+ per person and other guests would just sit there after paying they bill and they would say nothing to them. The food also wasn’t even good, it was like they poured lemons on every single dish and called it a day. So tart! would not come again.

Disgrace!!!First we stood to book a table for 15min (at 5pm) and then when we come back on time (the hour they told us), we had to wait outside standing for 45min!!!We stood and waited on the street with an 87 year old woman and the hostess didn't even offer her a drink or a chair. There are many good restaurants in New York - you should skip this one.

Delightful spot to get together with friends or for a date night.Queue can be long but more flexible if you're open to outdoor seating. Just leave your name, number, and explore the neighborhood (stay close!).Food was more generous than expected without tipping into quantity over quality zone. Pasta had a nice chew, anchovy bruschetta was even more of a win than anticipated, and waiter was helpful when it came to wine choice.Service became a little more relaxed as the tables filled up and one group table seemed a bit indecisive. However, that's a matter of circumstance. All in all, good service.

It's a great restaurant but there's no "Reserve a table" option and i can do it for you

Good was just okay. I don’t think it’s worth the long wait. The rice cakes and fried polenta with cod were plain and nothing special. Btw, too loud inside this restaurant

Enjoyed the food but not sure it’s worth the hype or the long wait. I went for lunch on a weekday so it wasn’t so bad, but had to line up for over an hour for a dinner on the weekend.

While drinking the meat carpaccio, seafood frites, and dessert Negroni, the overall experience was absolutely delicious.

Reservations are not accepted. In other words, Via Carota essentially gives a big GFY to people with meal timing issues (Type 1 diabetic here) or those with mobility disabilities who need to know when they can expect to be seated. Restaurants with that attitude should get over themselves. My experience rating is not based on the food but on the overall customer experience, which has been extremely disappointing because of the uncaring nature of Via Carota for customers with special needs.

An underwhelming experience. Had two flies flying around our indoor table. We spent like 10mins swatting them away and the restaurant didn’t even seem bothered.Our pasta dishes arrived cold and they were just ok nothing spectacular. Some of the servings were quite small. You have to put in full order at once and we felt rushed.There is a line of people waiting inside and outside for a table. The large groups of people waiting inside really detract from the experience and not to mention a fire hazard.Overall meh and overhyped.
