    As always, our meal at Becco was exceptional. The three pasta were tremendous as was the Caesar salad. The second floor back room provided a great setting with very little noise. It allowed for a tremendous experience.

    Our food was excellent, but our experience was only so-so. We were seated promptly for our reservation but ended up adjacent to a wait service station (18-24 inches away). Throughout our dinner, we were interrupted by dishes clanging, tubs being dragged away, and actually bumped into by wait staff using the station. It turned what really would have been a nice dinner into a memory that falls more into the “forgettable” category. Unlucky I guess.

    Was not my first time here that’s why we choose to comeback. Have been here a couple of times but this time it was the food was not like previous times. The appetizers were good no issues there but the main course was just ok. The lemon chicken was dry and the short rib was lacking flavor unlike last time.

    We had a 8:30 reservation on Friday 06/25 after seeing a friends show at Don’t Tell Mama. Quite a few empty tables. Hostess was lovely. Our Server Elysee B started out lovely but from the moment we were seated we were being rushed. My guests and I ordered wine and were enjoying ourselves until the continuous barrage of requests to order started. We finally decided and placed our order. My guest asked for butter for his bread and the eye rolls started. Salads came and we were not even half way done and were repeatedly asked if we were finished by the food runners. I told them not quite 3 times. Finally I gave up and they cleared our plates. Immediately the pastas came. One was linguine with clams. I asked for the shellfish to have a separate plate and met with more eye rolling. Then trying to find Elyse to order another glass of wine but couldn’t find her. Again from the food runners countless times, “ are we finished. Are we finished?” I was embarrassed at this point as my guests ( out of towners were uncomfortable and felt incredibly rushed. We relinquished and stopped eating. Finally Elyse returns and I order my wine as desert menus were dropped on the table. Not a minute later “ would you like desert? Hadn’t even looked yet. Came back again and just removed the menus and dropped our check. We just started laughing at this point. Elyse cane back and kept tying to pick up the check. Finally having enough I asked her if there was a problem. She asked why? I explained to her how we felt. She then adapted a defensive attitude and said that “I don’t feel I rushed you and that they were in fact closing.” She then literally walked away and complained to a man who seemed to be the manager. We heard them. Not one person was even interested in checking to see why we felt how we did. We placed 2 cards in the folder. Elyse processed the tender and then walked away from us . I have been in hospitality for many years in NYC and well, Becco, do better!
