Becco

Fabulous evening at Becco on our recent trip to NYC. The food here is impeccable! Must try the Short Ribs and gnocchi if they have it on special. The Unlimited Daily Pasta is a crowd favorite as well as the Veal Parm. Don’t forget dessert, their basil gelato balanced out the meal and was absolutely delicious. Service and atmosphere are 5 stars!

I’ve visited Becco many times over the years, and it has always been a place I’ve enjoyed returning to with the people I care about. I’ve come here with friends, family, and colleagues for all kinds of occasions, so I walked in expecting the same comfortable experience I’ve had in the past. When my sister and I arrived before our Broadway show, there were a few hostesses at the front. The first one we interacted with didn’t seem very friendly. She looked preoccupied and didn’t offer much of a welcome, which felt surprising based on my past visits. Another hostess then stepped in and began leading us to a table upstairs, but as soon as I saw the stairs, I let her know we couldn’t sit there because of knee issues. She moved us without any trouble, and the rest of the staff was friendly throughout the evening. The part that left me disappointed was the inconsistency with the unlimited pasta trio, which has always been my favorite thing to order. For the first time in all my visits, I found myself sitting with an empty plate for long stretches, waiting to ask for more. They were extremely busy, and I understand that, but the long waits took away from the experience. If I had known it would be like that, I would have chosen a different dish. The food itself was as delicious as ever, and the prices remain very reasonable compared to many other restaurants in the area. That part hasn’t changed, and I’m grateful for it. I still care about this restaurant and hope this was simply an off night. I’ve had so many great meals here, and I’d love for future visits to feel like the Becco I’ve always known.

AYCE pasta restaurant, and when I saw AYCE, they really push pasta out. It feels like every 10 minutes someone comes by with a vat of pasta asking if you want more. Unlimited bread and dip too. Only thing that wasn't unlimited was the salad, which was really and we would've had more. You can pick between 3 pasta and there able to substitute for vegetarians. They have a lot of seating and big TVs playing sports games. Good for families and big groups. There was a lot of tourists around too cause of it's location and origins. I personally wanted to come here as it's opened by a celebrity chef, the mother of Joe Bastianich who I know from MasterChef. Something I like about the restaurant is you can tell then you have a show to go to, and they'll made sure service is quick and you get out in time. The service was extremely quick, our food starting appearing within minutes. Now I wouldn't say this is the highest quality meal, and honestly some of the vegetables in the pasta looked and tasted like they came out of a frozen back. But it's extremely good value, very worth it, and what you'd expect for an AYCE pasta restaurant

I had a really great experience at Becco Restaurant. The pasta was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The drinks were just as impressive, with a nice variety and well-balanced flavors. The service stood out as well; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal. The only small downside was that the atmosphere was a bit loud at times, which made it slightly harder to have a conversation. However, it didn’t take away much from the overall experience. Everything else was genuinely amazing, and I would definitely go back again.
