Becco has been my reliable go-to for delicious Italian food in the theatre district for at least 10 years. The food is delicious, the service superb, and the prices reasonable, at least by NYC standards. I will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful experience once our table was moved from the bar area to the much nicer ‘back’ dining room. The food was delicious and the service was great although we did feel a bit rushed because we were there at the end of the evening.

My wife and I have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and just general dinner before a show at Becco dozens of times. Never really had a negative experience. We come back because we know the food is incredible and the Sinfonia Di Paste is a unique all you can eat pasta eating adventure. This trip, our waiter "Hector G", per the receipt, he never introduced himself, was cold and unfriendly. Sort of ruined our experience. Funny, another server recognized us in passing as we were being seated and was excited to see us again, greeting us with a big hello and asking how we have been. Maybe Hector was having a bad day, but as someone who worked in a family-owned restaurant, you check your feelings at the door at the start of your shift. At least a "thank you" after we pay the bill and you return my card and receipt to me would have been nice. I think that's what rubbed me the wrong way. Also, I remember when the Sinfonia Di Paste used to be like $20-25 per person. I guess Becco is feeling inflation too as it was not $80 for two Sinfonia Di Paste orders. We will still be back as the food as amazing, just hoping for a better spirited waiter/waitress.

Just go! The food, the experience, the service, everything was wonderful. The only reason I gave 4 stars for ambiance was the fact that we sat at a very small table and felt crowded a bit. The food, service and atmosphere quickly made up for it.

Becco has long bern a favorite of many friends and has come highly recommended. I was so disappointed in the rudeness of the front of house who was very curt, there were many empty tables that could have accommodated 1 person as I was led through the restaurant and was eventually seated at the very back of the restaurant in the corner under a blasting air conditioner. However, because my server was very good, the whole experience wasn’t a wash out.
