DensMarch 1, 2016The Cacio e Pepe comes served in a WHEEL OF CHEESE! This place will inspire you to want to cook this at home. Super simple, super delicious.
Olessya KuzJanuary 24, 2014Service, food, atmosphere... everything - impeccable! Michelin recommended for a reason. Cacio e Pepe pasta is out of this world, just like in Rome. So is duck ragu pasta & burrata appetizer. 5 stars
Sam WinnickAugust 20, 2015You can tell pasta is fresh but nothing is amazing. Cacio e Pepe is presented in a cheese wheel and looks amazing but is too salty. Eggplant appetizer is good. Duck ragu pasta is good too.
RCJune 4, 2015This unassuming neighborhood gem does its namesake dish stunningly, and hides a beautiful garden to enjoy it in. The prices reflect their higher quality of dishes.
Peter BlumbergJanuary 3, 2020Nice, homey atmosphere with tight quarters. Order the ... cacio e pepe, of course. The number of excellent neighborhood pasta joints in NYC always amazes me.
Michelle CAugust 15, 2016Great food, especially the namesake. The problem is that they only take cash or Amex. Who accepts cards but only Amex?? 👎🏾 There is an ATM in the back but it didn't work for my date.
- Kevin SetoJanuary 4, 2018Obviously the pasta served from a cheese wheel is excellent, but don’t miss the branzino which is also a delicious dish.
Kate FurmanMarch 19, 2017gotta get the cacio e pepe - served directly from the wheel of cheese! (oh and ask for extra cheese on top)
Tim JulienJune 13, 2014The Cacio e Pepe is great. Super cheesy though - they literally toss it in a giant wheel of pecorino at the table
Sasha ValleAugust 18, 2014The cacio e pepe is not to be missed, but the fettuccine limone doesn't fall behind. Best enjoyed in the garden, of course.
Racky RossNovember 25, 2014Try the cacio e pepe pasta, a traditional roman dish that's e excellent here. Good appetizers and wines too.
Meg O'BrienMarch 8, 2011The meatballs are incredible. Someone should order the buccatini all'ametriciana. Apart from the cacio e pepe dish, it is the best thing on the menu. In the summer, eat in the back garden!
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019All the cheese! This is a super popular and Instagrammable spot for cheese wheel pasta. Food is tasty and filling.
Carolyn ZentgrafNovember 6, 2013Best pasta in Manhattan! Had the garden to ourselves for our annoversary, so the waitress did a photo shoot! Above & beyond.
Donny DontJanuary 1, 2018Meatballs, the namesake pasta dish, tiramisu, ripasso and limoncello. All AMAZING!
Michellee CAugust 18, 2016Doesn't do its namesake justice. Only saving grace of the lackluster flavor of cacio e Pepe is it being cooked in a wheel of cheese. The fettuccine was confused cuz it had too many flavors going on- Pet SMarch 25, 2012They only take Amex! The namesake pasta is delicious, but you better be hungry...
AlyssaOctober 6, 2015Get the Cacio e Pepe, let's face it, what is better than pasta perfectly coated in cheese?!?
Janos BraemJuly 22, 2016Almost everthing is good, but the 'cacio e pepe' dish in the menu is served in a Large cheese bowl.
LuciaJuly 16, 2011Beautiful, delicious menu. Seasonal, so it changes. Staff and food exceeded expectations, though the portions are a little on the small side.
- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Very popular Instagram spot for the cheese wheel pasta. Food is tasty and filling.

Hana SatoNovember 16, 2012If you are thinking of getting the oxtail meatballs you ought to follow through with it!
Tara DrakeNovember 18, 2012Ridiculously delicious neighborhood Italian. The restaurant named dish is a must :)
The Spaghetti Carbonara is to die for. Great pasta in general, but skip the other mains.
Shalea HarrisNovember 27, 2011Most hospitable staff you'll ever meet! And order the pumpkin ravioli... You won't regret it
- John WagnerMarch 18, 2012Try the Spaghetti Carbonara - Super-luscious pasta that soaks up sauce like tofu.
- Mindy YangNovember 27, 2010Absolutely incredible! Have never had a bad dish there. The namesake dish is a must!
Lee JenningsFebruary 16, 2010Arrive hungry. Share the eggplant timballe to start, get the namesake dish (cacio e pepe) for your meal. YUM.
Orchid LiuApril 13, 2010Try the veal appetizer and a bottle of the Sangiovese. Great value for an amazing wine.
Josh NewmanApril 15, 2010The pasta with romano and black peppercorn is the single greatest pasta dish I have ever had.
