Cardoncello Divino

Came here for dinner with a few friends and loved it! Right when you enter you're met with a long bar with customers to really liven up the restaurant's vibe and a friendly bartender to boot. The table seating is toward the back and I absolutely loved that you're able to see into the kitchen from your seat - it certainly adds to the ambience. The service was great - timely, efficient and I feel like there's something for everyone on the menu. My friends tried a few of the cocktails (I went with the Aperol spritz and was harshly judged (it's obvi always time for a spritz)) and seemed to love them! The food was terrific - just the right portion size and the pasta perfectly-cooked. For dessert, we ended up sharing the tiramisu as well as the panzerotti - also fab choices. The price is what you would expect for upper-scale Italian fare but the vibe of the restaurant really makes it feel accessible. Would definitely come back here again!

Really lovely, bustling ambiance with highly knowledgable staff. My date and I arrived right on time and we were seated promptly. We ordered the mushroom+potato appetizer which was DIVINE and tried to order the short rib ragu pasta special but someone else got the last one right before we ordered...which turned out perfectly because we got the gnocchi instead and it was the best gnocchi I've ever had in my life. Seriously, don't sleep on that gnocchi - the texture was soft and almost melty, like a super fine mochi. I usually don't like gnocchi for how dense it was but these were airy and perfectly portioned. Also really appreciate that they have alcohol, low alcohol, and mocktail options.

my husband and I went for our wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate! It was absolutely AMAZING & the service was EXCELLENT. Best Italian food (and honestly one of the best foods in general!) we have ever had! I can’t wait to go back when visiting NYC. Love it a million times.

Outstanding quality surprisingly and reasonably priced. I have spent a lot of time in Italy and shall say the food here feels like you are dining at an excellent Italian restaurant in the North and South at the same time. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding; all past is homemade. Very refined cooking. You can see the love and attention in every dish or dessert. Service is superb and very personable. Outstanding option.

Great place, good food and good wine. My friends and I came here for the happy hour. The servers are funny and the staff is very obliging. My friends has the Prosecco and they found it expensive but loved it. I had a latte and we were given bread with olive oil . The bread sticks are delicious. We didn't stay to eat but my Italian friends claim the mushrooms are delicious. The place is very clean. There's separate seating depending on what you come for... the bathrooms are super clean... Lovely place.

Wow! Where do I start? The service here is so beyond. The head waiter Louciano is fab. Very knowledgeable. Very engaging. We started with a Burrata (Creamy cheese with a tomato reduction), Sardine (Fresh sardines with fennel and crushed red potatoes). Finally Cardonecelli (Roasted mushrooms with potato , cheese and truffle) For mains we had Tagliolini (fresh spaghetti, butternut squash, zucchini, tomato and chestnut), Paccheri (fresh pasta, with veal ossobuco and bone marrow) and Gnocchi (Chestnut and ricotta dumplings with green apple and a prosecco reduction). Go! Eat! Name your first born after me in thanks!
