We had a wonderful experience at Becco. We needed an outdoor table and the hostess and wait staff made an accommodation for us to actually move a table to the sidewalk section so that we could eat outdoors. My friend is immuno- compromised and this was super important. kudos to Becco for making this possible.

I tried the pasta sample platter - 3 different pastas, 3 different sauces, $30 comes with side Caesar salad. The simple tomato and basil was just okay, the pasta Bolognese was delicious, the pesto pappardelle I could not eat. the pesto sauce totally overwhelmed the pasta it was difficult to enjoy it. Caesar salad was delish. Overall, it was one out of 3 to be honest. My husband had the veal parm and totally enjoyed it. I've had better meals at other Italian restaurants. They have one policy that I found insulting. I asked for a separate plate for the pesto pappardelle because I really didn't have room on my plate for it. The server gave generous portions and the pesto would have combined with the other sauces. I was told a separate plate was not possible because they don't want you sharing dishes. Everyone at the table can easily share something so the policy is a little ridiculous. The restaurant is convenient if attending a nearby theater and service was excellent. In fact we were asked if we had theater tix and what time we needed to be there. We didn't feel rushed even though we had a theater time.

Everything was AWESOME. Only issue was server got oil splattered on my new pink blazer while dishing out pasta at the table. Not intentional of course, but just be wary if ordering the three pasta deal they have as it’s served table side and they move quickly so splatter will happen. My poor brand new blazer did not survive. ☹️

The wait staff was too pushy on few dishes on menu and misleading when they got the food on table. Also forgot few dishes we ordered. Treating us like we don’t know what we are doing! Gave us blended wine while we did mention that’s not what we want and the bottle was already opened. Very disappointed.

Pleasant room and attentive service. The food (we had branzino) was underwhelming/bland and boring. It wasn't poorly prepared, just not flavorful or interesting. We didn't have pasta, however, so maybe that's where Becco shines?

Three members of our party of six ordered the all-you-can-eat pasta. Problem was, after receiving their first portion of the three pastas that were part of the special, the servers never came by with more pasta. We had 5 pm reservations, and a 7 pm show, which we made our waiter aware of. Even after we asked for more pasta on three separate occasions, the servers did not come by with more pasta until 6:45 pm as we were paying the bill. This is the second time that this has happened at Becco. We will no longer dining or recommending this establishment to others. Too bad, as we have some fond memories of past visits.

Becco has been my favorite restaurant for almost 20 years. It never disappoints! The cozy atmosphere and delicious food always make me feel like I’m being welcomed home. I highly recommend the pasta special. There’s nothing like fresh pasta and table side service, but there are 3 different ones to try every day. (And it’s unlimited!)

The food was delicious but the seating was uncomfortable due to lack of space - it was a small two-person table against the wall on the second floor that barely fit our plates and the bread. And maybe it was due to our table placement, but the waiters rarely came to our table to serve the unlimited pasta.
