    We had a wonderful midday experience on April 30th. The food was absolutely outstanding. And complementing the food was the service and staff; Mitch, Tim, and all that took care of us. This is a “must go” restaurant!

    We travel in New York City a couple times a year and we always try to eat it at Becco . This experience was a little different from previous ones. The noise level is extremely bad, but it is definitely because the restaurant is packed with people. The salads are delicious but my beal piccata was made with a dark gravy sauce instead of a cream sauce. Different and not what I expected. Still a great price point and the service is excellent.

    Always a good pre-theater option - they ask if you have a show to go to and get you out in time. Had the Black Sea bass special which was excellent and price very similar to the all you can eat pasta. Only suggestion is to put less dressing on the Caesar salad - was swimming in dressing!

    It’s basically Buca di Beppo, with white tablecloths. No way to order pasta unless you get their fixed price ($40) menu. For that you get Caesar salad and 3 different pastas. They come around with big bowls of slop and slam stuff onto your plate. They are looking to get you out of there as quickly as possible. And the tables are uncomfortably close. Seriously mediocre and a complete waste of a NYC meal opportunity.

    Becco is one of our go-to, pre-theatre restaurants. The pasta special is always delicious, the wine list is extensive and fairly priced, service is attentive - all in all, one of the best options in the theatre district. Highly recommend.

    I have been going to Becco for many years This was the first time I was back in Manhattan post COVID I was always impressed with the food at Becco fir many years however this was a very disappointing dinner and service The baked clams were tasteless all breadcrumbs I was looking forward to the short rib which was 80% fatty grit The pasta was unimpressive The chicken cutlet parm was run of the mill could have gotten the same product in a pizzeria The service was terrible The waiter never once came over to ask how our meal was or if we needed anything Thus restaurant is like a doctors office that has high volume but lacks personal service I will never come back Extremely underwhelmed by the entire experience I feel bad for the waiters and servers they were running the entire time working hard but the food was not up to par
