Ali Anderson: trendy atmosphere with amazing light fixtures and decorations, great location for a date or family dinner. great for vegetarians and gluten free.
Jeremy Bassinder: Kale carbonara. Amazing. Steak great too.
Ricky Gilbert: Wow - if you like QualityMeats you will like QI. Chicken parm is enormous but you already know this. Over order apps (including their chopped salad and eggplant) and sides (Corn Brûlée and Macaroni).

Italian Restaurant · Alphabet City · 95 tips and reviews
Mike McBryan: Very, very solid Italian food. Went for a family dinner on the early side and were well taken care of, even if it started to get a bit rowdy later on. Would gladly go back with friends.
The Corcoran Group: Incredibly cozy Italian fare, one should definitely make a reservation in the back garden that is open year round. Try the gnocchi with porcini mushrooms, its decadent.
ben m: Whether brunch or dinner, get a seat on the back patio. Have a fairly priced bottle of wine (or 2) & enjoy some good food (gnocchi & burrata are favorites). Oh, and it's no longer just cash or Amex!

Erin Schulte Collier: Frito misto, tuna tartare crepe... Gorgeous and fun space
Fred Wilson: Sit at the bar, order the Sicilian red, get the tortellini and the crab spaghetti, then the chicken. Go home happy and full
Nina Yiamsamatha: To drink: the Fiori is their take on a floral negroni, and it is perfect. To eat: start with the tuna tartare cecina (tuna in a chickpea crepe), followed by the tortellini and guajillo chicken
Andrew Cerda: Breslin does Family Dinner right. Reserve a table for 5+ppl a few days ahead & ask for either Fried Chicken, Steak, Whole Pig, or Curry prix fixe meal w/sides & dessert. It'll knock your pantsocks off
Dan Pericone: Scotch egg , lamb burger and Breslin breakfast are all really good. They also make really good bloody Mary’s.
W magazine: Housed within the hip Ace Hotel, The Breslin is an English-style pub owned by Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield, the forces behind popular West Village gastropub The Spotted Pig. Read more.
