   Otto has been one of my favorite places to eat for years now. I have been a regular since about 2014, and this was my go to spot for italian food in the lower part of manhattan. But i went back recently (twice), with the second time being Sunday march 8th and i was not happy with the food that we had. The service is always good, its just a standard good service. Nothing amazing, but its on the better end of the service spectrum in NYC. But lets get back to the food. We got a bunch of different dishes, pizza and pastas and we were disappointed with all of them. We asked for a cacio pepe pasta, and it literally tasted like boiled pasta in boiled pasta water. It had no flavor at all. The waitress was very sweet and swapped it out for a bolognese which was... fine. It was just fine. Not like the taste it used to have before. The pizza, was overly well done, with the pepperoni basically burnt. This might be how they do it, but it was just disappointing. I miss the days of the fennel goat cheese pasta, their crisp watermelon salads and spicy olive oil. I am not sure if its because Batali is no longer associated with the restaurant or what, but something has obviously changed in terms of food and food quality.

   Everything I’ve ordered was horrible! pizza margarita didn’t have any cheese on it, spaghetti carbonara had an awful smell of burnt oil.

   Really cool spot in the west village. Very New York vibes. Food was incredible, wine was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was great. I personally picked the restaurant and the group of friends that I went with were impressed with the choice, which is all that matters.

   Used to love Otto Enoteca...lost it's luster. Service super bad...waitress disappeared and nobody came to help. Bucatini had an overpowering spice probably sage...not good.

   Hasn’t been in years and remembered it when it first opened as an awesome place for pizza and pasta. Well, gone is Mario and gone is the good pizza and pasta. Both were over cooked and lacked anything special flavor-wise. I do not recommend it — too many amazing pizza and pasta places in NYC.

   When I eat pizza, it has to be great pizza, and as I am New York City born and raised, I know great pizza. Otto Enoteca has great pizza. And great appetizers and salads. And great wine. Matched with the excellent service, it's definitely a neighborhood gem for me.

    The service and atmosphere were wonderful, but the food preparation sadly has gone down over the years. Too bad.
