Best pasta I've had outside Italia. Real trattoria ambience. (Not a place for a relaxed/romantic dinner though)
This is a solid pasta place. I got the Pappardelle Funghi. The freshness of the pappardelle was instantly apparent and it was delicious. As for the mushroom sauce itself, I found it to be on the oily side – after halfway finishing my dish, I started to feel a little grime-y, I think because the oil built up. That sad, it'd a good price with decent servings.
Eating here reminds me of the days I've spent in Italy. The food is amazing and tastes really authentic to the real thing. Prices aren't too bad either. When I was in Florence I really enjoyed mushrooms and truffle sauce and this place serves up a pasta close to that. It brings me back to really happy memories and for that this place will forever be one of the best Italian eateries in nyc for me. They serve up so many pasta options and pizza as well if you're not feeling for pasta. I love this place so much that I recommended this place to my friend for her birthday gathering. She loved it. Big ups to Il Corallo, see you guys soon.
This is the best bang for you buck pasta in NYC.
Lunch special is bomb, $9.95 for soup + pasta + bread!
Get anything with tomato cream sauce. The pappardelle with chicken and broccoli is by far the best thing on the menu and everything is already great to begin with.
Il Corallo is perfect for a casual lunch, date, or hangover food.
Super affordable pasta with a ridiculous portion size! Tucked behind Soho, this little Italian restaurant is worth the long walk down Prince Street (or worth the commute if you're not around Soho). Not only do they boast an extravagant menu selection, you'll also experience the vibes of Italian with the open window seating and the historic walls.
After battling back and forth with all of the pasta options, my friend and I settled on the Taglierini Sorrento (black squid ink pasta with shrimp, crab meat, lobster, baby scallops, clams, and tomatoes in a white wine, olive oil, garlic sauce) and the Rigatoni Romagnoli (rigatoni with prosciutto, mushrooms, and peas in a tomato cream sauce). While waiting, we were served a basket of fresh bread – so fresh that it's not pre sliced and sliced on the spot! I feel like this added to the softness and deliciousness of the sourdough bread. So good that we asked for a second serving to dip into our pasta sauces!
Both pasta dishes were really good. First off, the portions are HUGE. We came hungry from the gym and struggled to finish our pastas, but it was too good not to finish. Highly recommend that you share a pasta entree, but with its selection, it'll be hard to decide on just one! Of the two, I loved the Taglierini Sorrento. The squid ink taste really came through the pasta. Given that I had a bad experience with a white wine based sauce before, I asked if I was able to substitute the sauce for a tomato cream sauce, but was informed it'd cost me $1.95 more. Uh, no thanks lol. But thankfully I didn't because the white wine sauce was really good! I think it complemented the squid ink pasta really well. It had the perfect combination of olive oil to white wine and hints of garlic came through as well. I only wish there was more clams and lobster, but there were plenty of scallops and shrimp. The rigatoni was good, but it's your standard vodka sauce pasta. I wasn't a fan of the prosciutto though. It didn't taste fresh as the pieces were hard – resembled more like pancetta to me.
It's a tiny and semi cramped restaurant that's pretty popular, so come early with a small party!
This is a great Italian restaurant! On arrival my girlfriend and I waited for about 15 minutes before being seated. It was a very busy night for them and they were happy to take us in without reservations.
For starters we started with a Burrata, the mozzarella tasted very fresh and it was still nice and creamy in the center.
The pizza pesto was delicious! With a thin crust and every bite has a burst of fragrance.
The best dish we ordered was the Taglierini Sorrento! The homemade black squid ink pasta! OmG it was soooooo good. That delicious smell of seafood in the pasta was mouthwatering.
I can't wait to go back again in the near future and grab a mouthful of that squid ink pasta!
Overall a great restaurant. The service was quick and prompt.
My favorite Italian restaurant in the city. Been here two times. First time I came here was recommended by my coworker. He told like 10 coworkers to go try. Everyone of us loved the restaurant. Coming here for the second time was exciting. I knew I wanted to order the Black Taglierini again. This is the popular dish of the black squid ink noodles. Everyone must try this dish. The second dish I tried was the fettuccine Piemontesi. This was good dish too. This place gets packed starting at 7pm. So it's best to come for lunch or before 7 pm. The staff here is friendly and tell you the daily specials and soup of the day. They give bread before the dishes come out. The bread is delicious with the olive oil. I really love this restaurant and highly recommend everyone to go try. You guys will be hooked.
Probably one of, if not the best option for Italian South of Houston. This was always my go to downtown for non-pretentious solid Italian fare. The Black Squid Ink Pasta is amazing. Service was always on point.
I had almost forgot about this place, and had wondered if it was still around. I am very happy to see that it is.
