   Small and quaint, classic New York. Delicious, wonderful experience. Worth a stop.

   No bread served. Hurried staff, difficult to understand. Food tasted good but looked bad on the plate -- that extra presentation care would go a long way. Sat outdoors next to a large, loud, birthday party. Outdoor hut filled with midges -- very distracting during dinner.

   I loved this place the first time I went, but now they’re packing it and there’s awful air circulation. We rushed to get the check because our eyes were stinging from the fumes coming from the kitchen area right next to the tables. While we were eating, I asked the hostess if they could keep the door of the restaurant wide open and that I was pretty sure what we were feeling in the air was gas. The door helped a bit.

   Requested high chair on booking. They didn’t have one when we got there. We got seated right at the door with heavy traffic

   Overpriced. Menu does not correspond with what actually is available. Service is sub par. Does not deserve Michelins start IMO.

   This is a gem tucked away on a small street in the Village. The handmade black truffle oil gnocchi was incredible! Hands down the best I’ve every had! The calamari with olives was equally amazing as an app. If you’re able to visit make sure you make a reservation as the place is small indoors but plenty of outdoor seating.

   We’ve never experienced such a rude host. After arriving on time for our indoor reservation (at the end of October) we were told there were only tables available outside. The hostess was nonchalant and smirked telling us that’s just the way it is. More groups turned up for indoor reservations and told the same thing. Please don’t accept any reservations if you can’t honor them

    First time we visited the restaurant was in December 2018 and the food was very tasty, staff welcoming and place real nice. Came back this time and it was loud music, the waiter was stressed and irritated and the food was not tasty at all. Which we informed the waiter about, he then answered he could not do anything about it as he was not responsible for the staff in the kitchen!

    We have eaten at the sister restaurant a few times before lockdown, and always enjoyed it. Our experience here was sadly not the same. First, we booked outside but were given a table inside. Inside is tight and noisy and somewhat chaotic, with one of our dishes falling on the floor before it came to us. Then, I had to ask five times for some ice. As far as the food is concerned, my daughter liked her gnocchi, but my linguini alle vongole was lackluster - a lot of bland linguini with exactly 6 clams. The meatball appetizer was more interesting, but not enough to convince me that it's worth coming back here.

    Cotenna is a must stop. It was amazing. The food was magnificent. The service was wonderful. They could do with one more server. It was busy and the two working there were running around, but they were very hospitable and the food was just beyond words. Highly recommend.

    Loved the inside, the atmosphere but some of the food was so disappointing. 3 of the dishes were great but the Linguine Vongole was very poor. Tasteless no sauce and over rated. They brought me another but it wasn’t much better. A shame as the other dishes were good.

    This place has made a big mess all over its “Bib Gourmamd.” The server started to take our order and left the table suddenly and without explanation, not to return for several long minutes. One pasta purported to be gnocchi with black truffle. There was no sign of truffle and we deduced that it was {synthetic} black truffle oil. Not an honest written description on the menu. The food was fair otherwise, but not special. I could have made an equivalent “maintenance meal” at home for far more satisfaction.

    Orchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe was delicious, wonderfully garlicky and the marinara with seafood very good. Caesar salad had a little too much mayonnaise but plenty of anchovies (which we love). Wines were delicious and good value. Service was attentive and friendly.

    Pasta of the day - I was so excited. What a disappointment - tagliatelle was over cooked and it looked like there were small frozen shrimp mixed in with the larger fresh shrimp. My friend has the truffle gnocchi - very one note. I don’t think I will recommend to friends.

    I think it's fair to say that my party of four, all of us from the UK, enjoyed our visit. It's in a nice, leafy area in the West Village, rather small (somewhat cramped). The wine list was surprisingly pricey, but the food good - in my case a minestrone soup with pesto that elevated above the usual, and as a main, orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe and spicy sausage. Great. We also enjoyed deserts. Service was very friendly and music good.

    The food at Cotenna is always amazing! I consider this place to be among my favorite restaurants in the city. It is a true neighborhood gem! However, keep in mind that Cotenna is a small sliver of a restaurant that is pretty much always crowded and noisy. So this isn't the kind of place to go if you are looking to have a quiet conversation at dinner. But again, if that doesn't deter you, the food will not disappoint.

    This has to be my worst dining experience in NYC. I wonder how restaurants like this survive when they have so much competition in the city... Everything we ordered tasted either like a pre-fab dish (too salty and soggy eggplant, meatballs in tomato sauce ) or was just poorly executed (worst sausage and rapini pasta I've ever had). To top it all, the service was rushed and unfriendly and we had a nice view of the row of microwaves in the "open kitchen". The only thing that was ok was the wine, which we needed to forget how bad everything was. We obviously skipped dessert. A disgrace.

    While waiting for the bathroom, I saw one of the cooks stick his finger in a pan heating food, lick his finger, and then stick his finger in another pan heating food and lick it. I also saw our server move the garbage can with his bare hands and not wash his hands before returning to serving. Our food had not come yet so we cancelled our order and left. I told the hostess and our server what had happened and they were unphased.
