About this restaurant

Charming
Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails

Conceived by a Mulberry street local that was motivated to push the boundaries of a historic block that is in search of its reinvention. Gelso & Grand is situated at the iconic corner of Mulberry & Grand Street. The inviting and informal seating plan of the indoor, outdoor and private dining room boasts the marriage of modern and classic New York dining. We take pride in everything we do. We make all pastas in house, we use a wood fired brick oven for our pizzas. We are an upscale-casual restaurant serving modern Italian fare.

Five stars across the board! We live out of town, but frequent NYC. We always make a reservation for Gelso & Grand. My daughters have food allergies, and they are very desirous about the dangers and so accommodating. The food is fantastic. There’s air conditioning and the staff is friendly. I can’t say enough.

It was nice to eat outside on the mostly pedestrian road. However, the inside was not a/c-ed so it was good to have a breeze outside. Wait staff were very attentive. Food was as okay but not amazing but there was an interesting and varied offerings. The tuna carpaccio was too vinegary and the prosciutto pizza had too much ricotta cheese on it and too little prosciutto. The crust was good. The pasta were very good especially the lamb ragu. The cheesecake was amazing. While I said that it was a birthday celebration, no mention was made of the birthday which was a disappointment. Overall, it was a nice experience depending on what you ordered.

Nice restaurant, with great food. Couple of complaints, they wanted to keep taking things off the table when we were still eating which caused many interruptions in our conversation. Was very annoying. We went on one of the hottest days, and it was very warm in there and very close quarters.

Despite a mix up that caused to wait awhile past our reservation, we had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent - great handmade pasta and a more modern take on Italian than the traditional 5 courses. I had the truffle paccherini and was very satisfied as were the others in my group.
