We LOVE the staff at Becco. We are always made to feel like family. Yes, we are repeat patrons and will continue to be so. The food is always delicious and prepared with care and love.

It was a fun place with good food. Tables are quite crowded and there is a little sense of being rushed. You have plenty of food and the pasta options are quite good and never ending. The waiter comes by frequently to refill your plate.

Crowded and hectic with pre-theater diners however became quaint. Food was absolutely marvelous and the staff doted over us with friendliness and professionalism guaranteeing us never in want but allowing me to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in 20 years without needless interruptions. I highly recommend enjoying an evening at this fine food establishment

The pasta + antipasto combo was excellent and a good value for NYC. Diverse menu and specials, too. The staff was attentive and checked that we had a theater timeline to meet. And, the restrooms are on the main floor. My friend and I had a perfect pre-theater lunch experience.

You can’t beat Becco for their pasta special. Currently $29.99 for unlimited Caesar salad or antipasto and unlimited pasta. 3 daily chef selections served to your hearts (and stomach) content! Conveniently located in restaurant row and very mindful about theater show times.

Most of the food was delicious however the veal piccata was tough and grisly. Unfortunately the service was poor. Servers were sloppy and dripped or dropped food on three of four people seated at our table for 4. (On hands , arms and clothing)Server with hot water was unable to pour hot liquid from pot as it was dribbling out sides. This was very disappointing as all other visits have need wonderful

The appetizers were very good. The pasta was also good, but the chicken Parm and tomato sauce were disappointing. Also, make sure you asked not to be sat near the bar area as you become very cramped and you will feel claustrophobic.

Excellent food. Only disappointment was we had informed them we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and asked for a table that was more private. Altough there was a more private table available they put us at a table that was in a row surrounded by other tables. Also would have appreciated a dessert for our 30th wedding anniversay.
