Locanda Verde - New York

We went here for an after work meal and the food and service were both amazing. I was hesitant about the outdoor table at first but the heat lamp overhead was very strong and kept us comfortable throughout. Everything from the cocktails, pasta, and entree were all delicious

This is a really nice and lively spot for elevated Italian in TriBeCa. Even though we were seated outside, the service was good and they delivered on some of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in recent months. All homemade and cooked perfectly, the flavors really came through in layers of depth and sophistication. We had the lamb ragu and duck sausage orecchiette and both were amazing. As others have pointed out, pasta dishes are on the expensive side around the $30 price point but I’d add they’re pretty substantial portions. Add in an appetizer the beef tartare with truffles was also amazing and you’ve got a really filling meal.

I was a little taken on the location and decor which usually leaves me to say too fancy for good food. I was wrong! Absolutely delicious. We had the sheep milk ricotta, lamb meatballs, lamb chops, and duck sausage orechetti! All was perfectly cooked. On top we don’t know Italian wines so the sommelier had to help us and he nailed it on the second try. He was real patient and took the time to listen to our horrible wine descriptions. All around perfect place to eat.

Hostess, waiters, and staff are excellent. The side of potatoes was the tastiest of all dishes, the second tastiest was the ricotta appetizer, and I would avoid the roasted carrots altogether. The specialty drinks were priced very high and not very good. Expensive, so save it for when you truly need to impress!

Not a crowded area so, enjoyed my time at this place. The food was a mix, as some of our pastries were too sweet..so sweet that we could not eat them all. Meanwhile the pancakes were delish, except one of them had a bit of a chicken taste leftover. Guess the pancakes were cooked right next to the chicken?!?!?! I am a veggie person so, imagine my shock when I tasted the chicken flavor. Aside from that, this place was nice.
