    I love Becco! Brought two friends from out of town and they loved it too! Our waiter was very kind and accommodating. The pasta special was great. Always a good time.

    Becca was wonderful. Food and service exceptional. Seating was a little cramped, to be expected in NYC theater district. Noise level was high Not bad enough to ruin the atmosphere. Good value. We will definitely return many more times. Complements to Lidia and family!

    I have been to Becco maybe 25 times. and to Felidia multiple times. Food is always outstanding and a great place to take my visitors before theatre. This time we had a 5pm reservation on a Saturday. Upstairs. I understand that it must be your busiest time but I felt the service was a bit rushed. The wait staff was fine but a bit hurried in the explanation of the menu. I had to ask for the fish selection to be explained 3 times. Also my guest from North Carolina came for the ravioli which was a special likeness for her and she ordered the sinfonia di pasta (a unique dish in all of New York City). Twice the ravioli came buy and twice they didn't come to our table for refills. Not sure what your system is for the wait staff to know who is getting the pasta or not. I tried to gesture and yet they never came over. Also re the menu, (maybe I should have asked if I could be accommodated), but I was looking for something on the low cal side and I think there could be a better selection of a large dinner salad. I ordered the asparagus salad and soup. The chicken soup was exquisite. The salad was amazing but on the small side. Maybe the restaurant could have a large dinner salad on request? Price isn't an issue. I will always keep coming back as my go to pre dinner restaurant so leaving this input.

    I usually have a good experience back out, but last night was very disappointing. The waiter was OK and brought us the right food but curse in answering questions and dismissive when I asked about an item on the menu just saying no that’s not there. My daughter had the pasta special, which had one serving of polenta instead of pasta and we weren’t told that ahead of time. We’ve had this several times before and that’s never happened. I had the chicken with lemon, which was OK but nothing I would go back for.. We just had such a nice experience there in the past and I appreciate it being able to get in at the last minute, but overall a well, we still had a nice time, the food and service did nothing to contribute to that.

    Great Italian food! Had Caesar salad and the Halibut special with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed zucchini. Excellent! Wine was good too! Dessert was weakest party of meal, but still good.
