WE DO NOT PROMISE TABLES. NO Reservations between 6:45pm & 7:45pm.

On July 15th, 2009, Caravaggio, opened its doors for the first time. Giuseppe Bruno's latest cutting-edge concept carries on the long-lived family tradition of serving great food to our devoted patrons and to the greater New York area.

Our attention to detail, in both food and service, will continue to be our main goal. We believe in nourishing body and soul, which is the wisdom of our Salerno ancestors from Southern Italy. Giuseppe and his staff will strive to continue this heartfelt tradition.

    Classic Northern Italian menu, well executed dishes with high-end service. The service was perhaps a little too over the top, but 5 stars. The dining room is very smart, contemporary yet classical with a calm color palette punctuated by good art. There was only one dish, an artichoke appetizer, that was fabulous. The pastas were very good but not great. A veal dish had a wonderful sauce. Wine selection was huge and expensive, but they offer some better wines by the glass. We would dine here again but not right away.

    It’s one of finest dining experiences in a long time. Simply perfect! Love the art. Service was impeccable and many staff members. The food more interesting than even some of the other top restaurants. They will make you whatever you like. It will become one of regular places. It’s pricey but money well spent.

    This place is not bad but overpriced for what you get. List of specials is too large to keep up with and seems designed to pump the bill. Doesn’t allow corkage which is their right but if you collect and drink older wines there are many place that allow you to. Worst thing was there were several dishes on the menu that the could not provide including a wonderful looking duck breast with figs and foi gras. Oh well … I don’t regret going but wont return and cannot recommend.

    Caravaggio New YorkResponded on February 21, 2023Hey Mister, this place is great! It has been around for 18 years. We are a successful restaurant & don't need to pump the bill. Re corkage, it IS indeed our right to not allow you to bring in wine. By the way, we do not want you back. Also, you are selfish and ruthless to make statements like this. We have 60 families that work here, are you recommending we go out of business because you are telling other guests not to come? We believe that you are cheap.

    Superb Osso Bucco very flavorful. Spaghetti carbonara with the crispy bacon one of the best we have had. Beef Carpaccio melts in your mouth the cafe creme dessert hits the spot…. Overall excellent meal and generous portions and fair pricing and would highly recommend.

    We are new to the neighborhood, but not new to Manhattan, and always looking for EXCELLENT food, service and ambiance that we can walk to. They even have a lovely kittle bar with the best of everything and a spirited but polite crowd. This place delivered on all 4 requirements. Not a "great value", everything of quality is $$$$ these days. We will be returning soon and will keep it in our "a nice dinner without blue jeans", rotation. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    My girlfriend and I had first dined at this restaurant with another couple. We marveled at the waiter's memory of the daily specials, as there were so many. The last thing he said was "plus the printed menu" which was also quite extensive. The noise level was a bit loud but diners are close to each other so conversations can still be heard. The food was delicous. And the portions are generous. My girlfriend's veal chop (a special) was enormous. We left with a shopping bag of leftovers.

    The service is truly excellent and everyone who works there is so attentive and makes the evening feel like a special occasion. Entree was good—fish. The appetizer had zero flavor. Zero. Dessert—excellent and beautiful. Someplace this ‘fancy’/pricey should be on-target with the food 100%…

    Very attentive but not overwhelming service. Burrata with melon znd prosciutto was great stater to share. Special black squid homemade fettuccine with assorted white meat fish in a cherry tomato and caper sauce was ridiculous. The special swordfish was a thick beautiful cut that was dusted with ginger and served with a ginger bok choy and sesame. The taste was amazing. Great find

    Wowza! We live just a few blocks away, but somehow have never been to Caravaggio (perhaps still wanting to hold on to memories of Coco Pazzo?). Caravaggio ain't cheap, but it's beyond worth it, that's how good it is. Everyone in our party said that the the first course appetizers/salads were the best ever, and then we all again unanimously said that our main courses were among the best we've every had! We were stuffed but ended up sharing a souffle, and, we weren't surprised, but another grand slam. Save up and go, you will not be disappointed!

    Lovely and attentive service provides a welcoming "warmth". Couple this with delicious and well presented menu selections and this is a real delight. Risotto with seafood (clams, shrimp, muscles and fish selections) was creamy and delicious. The King Salmon was exceptional and rounding off the meal with the seasonal Busch Noel was superb.
