Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Kid-friendly

83 ½ is best described as a labor of love. A love of a family, friends and most importantly, food. Chef Vincenzo Mangiafridda, a twenty-year restaurant veteran of the Upper East Side, wanted to open a restaurant that spoke to his deep Sicilian roots. In 83 1/2, his vision has become reality. He created a menu of memorable Italian dishes including silky pastas, inventive antipasti, and delicious entrees.
Above all, it’s Vincenzo’s love of people that makes 83 ½ what it is: a warm, welcoming place where friends and families share their passion for food and familiar faces. We can’t wait for your family to meet ours.

Absolutely fantastic! Definitely a neighborhood gem. The service is great, the food is great. The pasta is SO fresh! One of the best meals we've had in the neighborhood. The weather was very nice and we were promptly seated outside, the inside looks cozy and perfect for the colder months ahead. Can't wait to come back!

Arrived at 9pm for a 9pm reservation. Server was quite rude and gave me grief about booking a reservation so late (times to dine on open table lasted until 9:30 so was not the latest reservation available). Was told I had to sit and order immediately and began to be pushed along. Decided to get up and go elsewhere. Have heard great things about the food here but had a very unpleasant experience with the service, so didn’t get a chance to try the food.

Special appetizer was stuffed zucchini flowers, so incredibly delicious I can't wait to go back and have them again. My go to main course is the zucchini crusted branzino which is served with spinach. Their pasta are amazing. The super Tuscan red wine is my favorite. We have been going there on a regular basis and will continue to do so.
