Interesting indeed with an outdoor wine bar serving up some good flavor dishes.
Highlights of the evening were the $19 charred octopus 🐙 & $80 red Italian wine. Easy bike parking next to wall. Comfortable and good vibes.
Ramen options available across the counter. The pasta was excellent but portion size for $20 was a big letdown. Need improvement on pasta portion. Also no bread was offered to dip in red pasta sauce otherwise 5 stars was warranted 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!
The head Chef is so damn serious about food! THAT, is clear in the way he treats the ingredients. Once I ordered food, and since they’re familiar with me (as a frequent visitor 😂) He waited for me to arrive to prepare the food fresh for me. I FELT LIKE A KING! That small detail can make a customer’s day!
I’ve had the Octopus (multiple times), the branzino, and the Pappardelle Integrale (at least 6 times). There’s never been a time that I’ve been disappointed with the food.
I have devoured every dish I’ve ever ordered from DELL’ANIMA.
Carbonara was delicious. The pasta was homemade and the flavors were incredible. The food hall is nice and upscale but felt empty so the atmosphere isn’t buzzing. The food exceeded my expectation, if you’re looking for a good bite it’s worth a try. I would skip if you’re looking for a romantic cozy atmosphere.
Today’s special was so good. I am trying all the pasta on the menu, and so far, they are all fantastic. The wine selection is good; I tried the rose today - a wine I am not 100% fan of - and it was ok. The red ones I tried before went super well with the pasta. I will keep coming once a week to become “local.” Definitely my favorite Italian restaurant in town.
This place is pretty good, casual Italian food, they cook the food in front of you so that’s cool! Food is fresh and hot.
I had a great dinner last night at Dell’anima, Chef Andrew Whitney’s counter Italian restaurant.
It was a fabulous experience. More then anything, I felt like being hosted at chef Andrew’s own kitchen.
The food was fabulous, the Vibe great.
Chef Andrew, with an Anthony Bourdain flipping a bird T Shirt, couldn’t be more appropriate. Had I not (sadly) known better, I would expect Mr Bourdain sitting in the counter next to me.
Wonderful food, great vibe. A hidden gem with a real New York State of mind.
I totally loved it 😊
Ultra tasty food- we've eaten the whole menu over the years, and have nothing but happy moments to report at this restaurant. Strongly recommend sitting at the bar, to watch the magic happen. Many thanks to the whole team for all the great meals at this wonderful spot.
Excellent pastas and an intimate counter setting. I also really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts

Delicious! Had the Orecchiette (wild boar sausage and broccoli rabe) and Garganelli w Octopus added! Super delicious. Owner cooked dish right in front of us, and he was great to chat with. Will be back!
I came here 2,3 years ago with my family and loved it! They have by far the best carbonara in NYC - no oversell!
Everything we had today was amazing and the chef and crew are extremely polite and attentive… would absolutey recommend this hidden gem…
