   Amazing restaurant. I’d recommend sharing multiple dishes - the lobster raviolis, the funghi risotto and the lamb chops are a must. Great wine selection at very reasonable prices.

   Putting 3 Mexicans in a tiny kitchen open to the Restaurants with all the odors going with it does not convert you into an Italian restaurant ? Not worth a Bib gourmand award !

   Fantastic experience. The lamb chops and black truffle gnocchi are to die for

   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.

    They do not offer espresso! Or indeed coffee of any kind....very disappointing. Quiet and food was great... but service felt rushed, even at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. We were one of just a few tables, but seemed like they wanted us out of there.

    This place is TINY. We made a reservation over a month ago and we’re seated at the bar. It was very loud so it was difficult to have a conversation at the bar. They have heated outdoor seating also, but on this day it was in the 20’s and very windy. I imagine in nice weather that would be a glorious spot to enjoy this delicious food and lovely service. Looking forward to another visit!

    This was the most disrespectful host group I’ve decided to dine with. I made a reservation for 2 at 8:15pm. I showed up and the entire restaurant was full. Not a table available for two for at least 30 minutes. The two top in front of us was so young and drunk they had spilt a glass of wine all over the table and the one next to them. The staff didn’t care and let them clean it up. Meanwhile, I was speaking with the hostess, who looked like she just woke up from a nap, who assured me we had our table coming. Long story short, a larger group came in and they allocated our spot to them. They literally kicked us out of the restaurant and told us there was nothing they could do. For a group that prides themselves on service, this was literally the worst I have ever had. No wonder they charge $12 for a plate of food.

    Unfortunately it was not a good experience. Me and my friend were the only ones in the restaurant yet the food seemed microwaved, the Parmesan looked like it had been sitting out for days and was stale, they got one of our dishes wrong and then the bolognese had cream in it which we had to send back as my friend was allergic but did not expect cream in a bolognese. The server was very apologetic but in all it was an unfortunately disappointing experience.

    This is one of my top three favourite restaurants in New York. And by far my favourite Italian. Food is fantastic, always consistent. But more so, the staff are always so friendly and make the effort to ensure your experience is 5 star from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave. Great wine too! I love Cotenna!

    I was upset that upon arrival, they had overbooked and therefore my reservation was moved outdoors. I had booked a few weeks in advance in the dining room so wasn't thrilled with eating outside in the winter. Additionally, our food ticket was lost so food was very delayed, but overall food was delicious and our waiter was great + comped us dessert given the trouble.
