Antica Pesa

Food brought me back to Italy!

Nice ambiance and quality service but food was disappointing. We both had pasta, the explanations in the menu were much more appealing than the actual dishes - both the duck and fusilli were bland and lacked flavor.

It was long time I want to go here, and finally this trip to New York I make it.
I love the restaurant the decor, the service, and the food was very good.
The fritto misto for 2, was excellent, the Cacio Pepe was very good ( is not easy to find a cacio pepe so good here in USA and some time in Rome to), The pasta Amatriciana also it was very good al dente like I expected. I will come back when I will come to New York. My favor Italian restaurant in the city.

Great restaurant. The food is amazing and the owner Lorenzo is very charming.

Lovely place in Williamsburg. Food was excellent. Noisy but fun.

This is the second year in a row that I've asked my husband to take me here on my birthday. While a bit pricey, I love the food, cocktails, wine, ambiance, and service. Great care is taken in each dish and they are really delicious! The wine selection is wonderful and thoughtful. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, and management is extraordinarily welcoming, always remembering regulars and making them feel at home.

10/10
every single time

we had a reservation. they sat us 45 minutes late. they didn't apologize. at all. the service was insanely slow. we could've watched that martin scorsese netflix movie between the appetizers and the entrees. they were out of eggplant; at least they told us that. the duck ragu, which two of us ordered, arrived with literally no duck. none. they didn't tell us that, and we didn't have a chance to tell them because the waiter never came back to ask how our food was. (when it came time to pay the bill, though, he came back like seven times to ask about that.) pasta portions were tiny, but whatever. otherwise, food was fine; it was food. by dessert, there was no one left but us and one other table. they turned up the music -- generic four-on-the-floor blandness -- to four-million-decibels-on-the-floor level. we asked if they could turn it down. they said no because the other table had asked them to turn it up. thanks guys. maybe they got all the eggplant and duck, too. we complained to the owner afterward. he seemed uninterested. which, to be fair, was on brand with the rest of the experience.

5 star place with 5 star service and staff ! Great place to go when you want good Italian food!

Amazing!!! We had the most wonderful meal with the help of Lorenzo. Couldn’t recommend more!

Locale nel complesso molto bello, elegante ma non troppo formale, servizio ottimo e non invadente, cibo di qualità è molto gustoso. Uniche due pecche: vino troppo caro, e pane che sapeva di muffa sicuramente a causa del contenitore di legno che deve aver preso dell’acqua. Ma nel complesso è un ottimo locale.

All Pasta dishes are very good. The fettuccine with roasted duck was incredible.

This is an excellent restaurant. I actually felt like I was in Rome again. The service was exceptional and the food wonderful. Our party of four enjoyed everything we ordered. I loved their signature Negroni! It is a lovely room and elegant atmosphere.

Great time, good food and wine

Great Italian fare in nice comfy environment, both in store and the community

The food was delicious. My son and I shared a rigatoni as an appetizer and main course branzino and Tartare di Manzo. Both were well prepared. The bread selection was excellent. I wish they had had a wine for $40 -50. The first bottle was $65 so only had two glasses.

Had dinner for 25th Wedding Anniversary. was a wonderful, intimate experience.

Great food, service & overall ambiance. It has become a favorite. Pasta executed perfectly!!!

Pleasant time

Delicious risotto and fave beans. Ambience looks designed for upscale vampires and their kin. Would recommend.

Ai fagiolini togliete le punte, e alla vaccino e pepe non mettete il parmigiano

By far one of the very best authentic fine Italian restaurant!!

Antica Pesa is our favorite restaurant in New York. It never fails to please and satisfy completely. The menu is a wonderful balance of old favorites and new dishes.

Such a beautiful place with good quality food!

Favorite Italian place in Williamsburg

Al di sopra delle aspettative, che non vi nascondo erano già alte in quanto consigliatoci da persona di fiducia. Da provare assolutamente, vera cucina italiana, massima cura in ogni dettaglio. Top Restaurant!!!

Good food overall. Recommend if you want a good appetizer and wine

Had an amazing time! The food was amazing the service was even better. Highly recommended

Tutto perfetto, dall'accoglienza al servizio al cibo......ambiente rilassante e ti senti a casa.... Ottimo

The food and ambiance were excellent; this is definitely one of the better Italian restaurants in NYC. In fact, I would put this in the top 5% of Italian restaurants. Generally speaking, I don't like eating in Italian restaurants, but only bc I am universally disappointed. There are probably only about 5 or 6 italian restaurants in NYC that I'll go to; this is one of them. Try the cacio e pepe, you'll think you're in Rome. The service was very good, attentive, but not overly friendly.

They treated us like kings (even though we were just there for restaurant week). The food was absolutely beautiful and tasty af. We were celebrating our anniversary and they gave us a free after dinner drink and everyone working there congratulated us and was so sweet. Highly highly recommend.

Always an exceptional culinary experience, remarkable service and attention to detail. One of my favorite restaurants in New York and Italy.

Came here for restaurant week with a couple friends! Excellent service and great food. We really enjoyed how aldente the pasta was and the texture of all the food was amazing. Great vegetarian options. Would definitely come back!

👍

Excellent service solid food, recommended.

Always Excellent:)

Love the experience and the service. Have been twice already and they’re consistent and highly professional. The servers speaking basic Italian is fun (and slightly confusing) but adds to the restaurants charm. Cocktails are always fantastic and the pasta is D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.!

Great! Some dishes were meh but everything else was amazing

Decor is very nice, you forget you’re in Williamsburg more Manhattanish. Went with some friends for dinner all started out well, but unfortunately service towards the middle and end of the meal was nonexistent. Food was 8/10 service was 1/10, for the level of this restaurant or what it’s trying to be the wait staff are more suitable for the beer garden across the street.

Unfortunately have no interest in returning

Best wishes

The food is divine. The service is attentive. The ambiance is transporting. Lorenzo has his staff everywhere they should be and only when you require them. My favorite Italian food in New York...and i’m Italian.

We ordered food from the restaurant week and regular menu. Every plate came out cold - like the food had been sitting on a table for several hours before they decided to bring it out. The cocktails were very good and the servers were attentive. The food was extremely disappointing. I do not plan on returning.
