Bar Italia Review

Delicious veal chop and a few too many cocktails. Good times!

Wow what a place to enjoy a great meal. Overall the experience was great from the food to the service. We had lentil soup, pasta Bolognese, pasta derade, chicken of the day and the white truffle pasta as it was in season. All of the food was delicious. The drinks were fantastic and the service was outstanding from the waiter to the managers, to the chef. Best service I've had in awhile it was really on point. Someone dropped a piece of silverware and 3-4 staff heard it and looked, and then they scooped it up within seconds they are really on top of the service. We never felt rushed even though they were packed, we felt very welcome.

The mixed salad is really tasty and the daily pizza specials are always good. Coming from NYC, it's really hard to find good pizza in New York, NY for some reason. But this place never disappoints. It's a little pricey for what you get, but you can be smart about it and order from the right parts of the menu.

High quality Italian restaurant in one of the best New York neighborhoods, the latter is noticeable when they bring you the bill.
The restaurant is frequented by local people from the city.

Honestly, the food is good. VERY GOOD. But it took over an hour to get to us.

Absurd to charge 11 euros for a bottle of water, I understand the Italian restaurant and luxury, but is the added value of a simple bottle of water sold for 11 euros? I leave out the rest because it is superfluous

Terrible value for money. Average Italian cuisine, sad pizza at 30 dollars excluding tips. Do not go unless you are very rich and look for basic pasta.

Overall I think the place is overpriced. Fish dishes very good but pasta dishes average at the best.

Tasty Italian dishes, but the price is a bit salty.

Great NYC dining experience! The staff was very attentive and the cuisine was fantastic and worth the price. A celebrity was dining at a nearby table and we were treated as if we were celebrities too!

Fantastic food!
Fantastic staff!
Great location!

I had the special Dover Sole, and it it was delicious!

Lots of gluten free items on the menu, and the staff will do anything to make the customer happy!

We will be there often when we are in town.

A small culinary corner stolen from Italy !!!
Congratulations Denis, great Everything !!!

Crave Italian charm and fantastic food fantastic chef try the pesto pasta.

Excellent!! Everyone made us feel very welcome. This may be the most welcoming place in the neighborhood. Food and drinks were excellent. Noisy, busy, and fun. The couple next to us was celebrating 59 years of marriage.

One of the best Italian restaurants in town! Food is unbelievable but expensive

Bar Italia is without question the single best Italian restaurant on the planet in terms of food and impeccable service.

Excellent restaurant with high quality cuisine. How to eat in NY and feel at home. Special. Not to be missed.

Wonderful restaurant. Hector, bartender/maitre d is super kind and saved me today. Thank you Hector and Bar Italia

The noise is awful You cannot hear the person you are with unless one shouts.

Stopped in here on a rainy afternoon and ended up eating the best spaghetti carbonate. Also had the soup of the he day which was carrot and amazing. Great little place.

Best Service Best experience Best FOOD!
3 Bs all the BEST ingredients! A must eat at restaurant

Ordered pasta and a salad and the salad had a huge worm squirming around. The manager wasn't even apologetic as such - just kept saying there's nothing he could say.

Excellent food, and wonderful hospitality. Ate lunch outdoors, a perfect respite from the summer heat and social distancing. Chatted with lovely owner for a while. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Most authentic and fresh Italian food in the city. There's really no need to eat anywhere else.

Brought here as a treat for a friend's birthday, the ambiance drove the night. Everything was white and sparkly and flickering and special.

Creative drinks were available and sampled: pleasant.

Our dishes were visually appetizing (mine was a spinach and ricotta stuffed ...not ravioli but pasta pretty and really delicous). The special risotto with blonde asparagus and shrimp, however, - was....too white ("congee"). I wish the bread sticks were not in plastic and that we had been offered more than one piece of bread.

Chocolate cake for the birthday boy had thick chocolate frosting (delicious) but I could help feel like the cake had just been defrosted. The tiramisu was an ample piece that all four of us enjoyed.

The staff was very friendly and gave us just the right amount of attention at just the right times.

Excellent, fresh Italian food, and incredible service. I'm basically in love with their Tagliatelle Bolognese... Great lunch spot to meet up with friends!

Like always great .You must go there , brunch is kid friendly

Great service, quality food, but too much staff here, makes diner stressfull. And also prices are definitely too high.

This place is a treasure. Food is excellent, service the best in NYC. Made our night extra special.

Love the food ,decor,service..Dennis the chef is awesome ..
