Best Authentic Restaurants in Morningside Heights

Very pleasant experience when looking for old school, Italian in the heart of the city.

waiter was great! wagyu was amazing- but very expensive.

We came to celebrate a special birthday and they arranged a beautiful dessert for all of us! It was delicious

First time at Don Coqui. Celebrating birthday of one guest. Party of 4. Early Monday dinner at 6:15. We were confirmed for our reservations and asked to wait to be seated. There were only a handful of diners in the vast restaurant. Hostess was on the phone the whole time. After 10 minutes I asked what the wait was about and she was irritated that I interrupted her phone call. We were finally seated. Server was efficient and had several observers with him. Our seafood orders were delicious, empanadas were great. Food was excellent except the Churros which seemed "hard and old" as one diner stated. The staff brought a nice birthday celebration during dessert. I would recommend this well designed art deco restaurant if you are not a large party or if you have patience. Valet was very friendly and nice.

An amazing Omakase experience. Everyone should try this at least once. Chef Taka is amazing and the entire staff was really great and attentive. Such a cool experience to share with a small group of people.
