Little Italy – a competitive place where people are hustling and bustling, claiming to serve up "the best Italian food in town". So we decided to check this spot out.
Meh, it's ok. I've had better! Came to have dinner with my friend and I ordered the veal dish, while he had the chicken piccata. Though the food was not that bad, it wasn't anything great either.
Good thing about Little Italy though, there's tons to choose from, so you always have the option to check out another place!
Absolutely delicious mushroom risotto!!! The atmosphere is very relaxing and a very nice view!!
Caffe Crapoli. Nothing about this restaurant can be described as out of this world; unless by that, you mean God awful.
Service was just as bad as the food; Plucked off the street and ushered to their "last outside table," (cramped and a little strange smelling) we were quickly ignored and slowly (mentally as well as physically) served upon…
When first seated the table next to us were complaining and although they were speaking French, even I could understand they were frustrated with the incompetence.
After finally being able to order a coke, and asking twice for water as well as said coke, I was thinking how I should get up and leave; I unfortunately decided to stay.
Now for a true comparison to another Little Italy eatery I decided upon the same dish I had across the street at "Da Gennaro;" this being said, after forcing down the chewy chicken, the pasty pasta, and the tough, flavorless prosciutto, I can easily say this couldn't even compare to the worst Chicken Sorentina dish, I have ever had before.
The pasta came out cold and the four cokes that barely made it to the table cost three bux a piece, despite them being all ice, and repeatedly forgotten about.
All in all, I will never return for a $50 lunch for two that was worth less than a dirty water dog from the cart down the street.
All this waiter did was take our order, and IF he remembered, he passed it on to the busboys who did the grunt work. We sat there for 15 minutes before getting water, while the restaurant next to us had bread, water, and servers taking orders. I should have stiffed on the check.
Sweet cafe in Little Italy. Outdoor seating and indoor seating available. My cheese ravioli was delicious. Don't expect perfect service, especially if they are busy. It's still a nice little stop along your way. Oh, and don't order the Moscato. It's flavored water, I think.
After dragging my boyfriend all over Chinatown and Canal street in NYC, I felt the least I could do was find some delicious food to nosh on for lunch! I did what I normally do and whipped out my Yelp app. Come to find out, Chinatown is very close to Little Italy, it was fun to go from one country to the next so to speak! We found this place on the corner of the street and it looked cute and cool considering it was like 1000 degrees outside! We sat inside (which is very small) it probably would have been better to eat outside, but it was hot either way you sliced it. I had the cheese ravioli in a marinara sauce and my boyfriend had a small pizza. Since it was so hot outside, these options probably weren't the most refreshing, but they were still super delicious and nothing was left on either of our plates! The service was a bit slower than we would have liked, but it was a bit crowded for a lunch spot. I would definitely come back here and maybe try other places in the area as well!
Once upon a time this was a good late night dessert spot. No more. And the food — fawgetaboutit — in a bad way! This is a tourist trap of the worst sort. 'Nuf said.
Atmosphere: Was a beautiful night, so we sat outside. It was pretty bustling, but we were seated right away as a nice little table. Our order was taken pretty quickly for our wine, and for our dinner as well. Never had to hunt anyone down. Candles on the table were lit, and it was very clean and inviting.
Dinner: I had an adjustment on mine- I ordered the sole but wanted it in lemon sauce instead of tomato. The waiter said it was a busy night and he didn't know if the chef would accommodate me? Regardless, he did and it was delicious. Came with pasta as well. My date had the chicken piccata with penne, and it was cooked and sauced perfectly.
Drinks: We had a bottle of Chianti Classico which was very reasonably priced, and presented to me for a tasting before pouring a glass for both of us.
Overall, great experience! I would go back, but there are so many of these types of restaurants in Little Italy, that I would be open to try the abundance of them scattered throughout the neighborhood.
Stopped in for lunch as I was strolling through little Italy.
Service was great! The food was amazing!
We got the Chicken Parmesan, spinach, calamari. They also serve delicious bread with dipping sauce.
Everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty.
A must try!
