Il Brigante Restaurant

This is one of my favorite places to dine when I’m in NYC

Always great. There was an error on my part regarding our reservation but they made it work! Food always amazing. Thank you!

Never disappointed with a meal at this restaurant!

Food was delicious, wine lovely. Waiters friendly.

Little crammed, good food

Noisy but still romantic. Food was exceptional

My husband and daughter, who lives nearby, enjoyed this moderately priced Trattoria in the Seaport district. Cozy atmosphere, good food, nice wine selection (no hard liqour) friendly service.. a bit tight for space, but otherwise great for a Friday night.... bread excellent, pasta with shrimp and squash was delicious, baby arugula salad with shaved Parmesan was copious (enough for 3!) and strawberries dipped in chocolate with whipped cream, a Valentine’s special, should be all year round! One of the best desserts ever!

Birthdays are great

This is a favorite South St Seaport restaurant. Yummy pizza, attentive but quiet service.

The food was INCREDIBLE! Very romantic spot

Quiet, cozy & intimate. We love this little spot. Its a favorite of ours. The food is fresh and delish and the location is great.

Stayed in Manhattan Downtown for a week - and had a craving for pizza one of the evenings. Chose for Il Brigante (the bandit) after reading an online review listing the pizza places in Manhattan. The place is small - maybe 40 seats - and everyone is sitting near to each other, which makes it very lively.
I really enjoyed the dinner - pizza called 'Brigante' and two Peroni's from the tap, finished with a proper espresso. The pizza was picture perfect, not to big or small, with fresh ingredients, and very tasty. I also blended well with the provided spicy oil. Even with the place packed (do reserve!) and a line to get in at 9 PM Friday, the pizza was on my table in 10 mins. From getting in to walking out it was for me about 45 mins, and didn't feel rushed at any time - with a line of people waiting. Waiters seemed to understand my needs perfectly, which is seldom the case in the US. Highly recommended.

Great food

So good came back two days later.. love this place

Great little place. Love coming here.
The pizza is the best!!

Small Italian restaurant that always delivers wonderful food.

Great ambiance! Food is overpriced and inconsistent.

Food and Service here is fantastic. I would just note that it is a small place and can get crowded. Definitely worth it though

Always a great spot to have New York style Italian food. Reliable and fun. Cramped and delicious.... enjoy!

Authentic Italian food in a cozy restaurant. The walls show exposed red brick.

Sicuramente il miglior ristorante made in Italy della nostra vacanza. Locale informale ma personale gentile e cibo ottimo.

Food was very good. The place was loud, but that is probably normal for a Friday night.

Took my secretary out for the holidays

Awesome service, lovely locale and delicious food as always!! Able to manage large groups well.

Loved it! Will definitely be back.

Very good dinner as always!

Holiday luncheon with work colleagues and overall had a really good time. Service was a tad slow. Food was delicious though I ordered wild salmon dish and the fish appeared to be farm-raised. My work colleagues all enjoyed their meal. Appetizers and deserts were delicious too. Ricotta cheese cake is a must so light and not too sweet😋

Great spot with amazing pizza!

This is a quaint little Italian place that seems to be more locals than tourists. They are super friendly and the food is wonderful.

great fun, bustling spot. cozy and lively, and excellent homemade pastas + large salads + great wine!
bricks and candlelight to boot!

Perfect place for a cozy Birthday dinner for family members ranging in age from 7 to 75 everyone was happy with their meal

Service was excellent with the dimming ambiance. The food is great ; tasteful

Cute date spot

I don’t want to give away this terrific secret! We’ve been to Il Brigante several times and it just keeps getting better. The “Pink Sauce” is fantastic. The owners are always on site and make you feel like part of the “famiglia”. Great location in the Seaport district. Highly recommended!

Amazing food/ wine/ service

Food is consistently very good, volume in the restaurant is deafening can’t hear anything,

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. We were very satisfied with the eggplant appetizer, the rigatoni with sausage and mushroom, and the veal shank. The only reason that it wasn’t 5 stars is because the staff seemed to be overwhelmed once the restaurant filled up, and the service dipped a bit, and the volume also markedly increased. We would definitely go back, perhaps just at an earlier time.

Amazing food and friendly, attentive staff! Always love to come to Il Brigante

Food was delicious. Wonderful place. Wish we found before our last night in town. A must place to eat!

Wonderful meal. enjoyed by everyone.
