We ordered few different pasta dishes and all very excellent. I had cacio e pepe which was super good and succulent. I also tasted the carbonara which was also very good. Highly recommended in downtown NYC.

The drinks are super strong and affordable! Food is tasty too. And honestly, this place was fun. And not like that fun where you go to a bar all anxious bc youâre worried youâll be awkward until you finally get pretty buzzed, it was fun like I was so happy to be there upon arrival. Thanks Pera soho for fostering the best version of me.Hi Chrissy, thank you so much for this detailed review.

8. Savida
Seafood restaurant with a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flare, serving fresh, cooked to order fish and seafood that is accompanied by delicious Mezze: a collection of flavorful small plates that can be enjoyed as appetizers or compliment your entree.

Great decor, service, drinks and especially the food! The 5 of us shared a bunch of appetizers, the red snapper w/2 sides, 2 cocktails each, two desserts and a bottle of Sancerre for about $100 per person and SO well worth it. We loved the shishito peppers with the perfect amount of salt, we chose 2 mezzes (hummus -smooth & creamy- and tzatziki) with hot challah, olives, grilled octopus, Savida salad, heirloom tomato and burrata then the snapper, potato wedges and asparagus. We ended with three amazing gelatos (coffee, vanilla and mango). Sadly the toffee pudding never made it. I would highly recommend all of the apps and desserts. The fish was great, too. The potato wedges and asparagus were fine but not as exciting as the other plates. The only things they need to fix are the a/c, the lack of attention to refilling water glasses and using ice. Iâll be back ASAP.

After reading the reviews I had high expectations. The wine recommendations were excellent but the waiter was a bit pushy recommending too much food! We had a seafood/veggie combo appetizer and the Sicilian rice balls. Be prepared for fish and shrimp complete with heads and eyes. My sister did not like her grilled seafood plate, it looked a little too fresh from the sea. The pastas were good but a bit too al dente. Super loud once it fills up, can't really have a conversation. Next time I'll try somewhere else. Cute little place and Spring Street is a fun area for strolling.

This place is amazing! The real deal! I have never found a better restaurant in NYC! This is now my absolute favorite! Truly authentic food. Not only the most authentic Pizze Napolitane I've ever eaten (and rivals with some I've eaten actually IN Napoli) but pastas and appetizers are all unbelievably authentic and great quality. The entire restaurant has a feeling of love. Love for food, love for customers, love for life! I love this place!!! All the guys who work here have a wonderful sunny and friendly disposition and really understand customer service. They seem to love their customers and strive to make each customer feel special. With so few tables and such quality I hate to reveal these truths about the place and let out the secret because I always want to find "my table" and "my spot" here and return to find the same quality, prices, authenticity. Somehow I have a feeling this won't change. This place reminds me of how NYC used to be. This is old NY at its best. It's a great great place and if you've actually eaten in Napoli you will appreciate it even moreso. This place....!!! I love it!!! Special thanks to Luca/Lucca (?) for running the show and doing it so well!!!

What a lovey (quiet) place in which to enjoy an Italian meal. Great cosmo, great food, great (Italian) clientele. Had the branzino (sea bass) but be forewarned if you need a lot of food--skimpy on the fish. Perfect for me. It was like going to Italy without having to cross the Atlantic!thank you very much! hope to see you soon

This is a tiny place on Prince Street. It can be a little noisy with everyone being seated very close to each other, but it's tolerable. We had bruschette for an appetizer. It was the classic version with olive oil and tomatoes and was awesome. Three of us had lasagna, and the fourth person had penne with tomato sauce and basil. They have a lava cake that isn't on the menu, and the two who had it were fans. All of the food was excellent. Reservations have to be made a month in advance and are recommended. However, there were a few folks who came without reservations after 8 p.m. who were able to be seated. Prices are pretty low for food of this quality.

Blackhawk is right about everything. Chumming up, arrogant reception. Deliberately overbooked. Though reservation there was left just a table outside by 15 degrees centigrade in the evening. In fact, there are many better restaurants.Dear customer,I apologize if you had this bed experience. Basically our staff is always kind and nice with everybody.This is our policy. Sometimes it happens that people wait outside because the place is small and we have many customers. They are always happy to have an experience in the Piccola Cucina so the wait is worth it. We hope you will come to taste our food.Thank you so muchPiccola Cucina Group
