Your NYC Pasta Primer

David Park: Quit second guessing yourself and get the daily risotto already.

George Robles: The best Mac and cheese in town hands down.

Vansi: Get the beef cheek ravioli! So flavorful.

Jason Konen: I've never had better spaghetti in my life, and I grew up with an Italian grandmother.

Spotted by Locals - city guides by locals: You simply must try the stuffed mushroom appetizer and the Manicotti main dish! En savoir plus .

David Riordan: Steaks were on point. But the duck lasagna was fabulous.

David Ban: If you dig clams like I do (get it?), the fettuccine is absolutely epic. Borders on hedonistic, I'd say.

Saarim Zaman: Penne vodka, highly recommend!

Lori Luo: Come for the soft, pillowy ricotta truffled gnocchi.

Sasha Sherman: Spicy Lamb Bolognese Ramen was on point. Brussel sprouts were solid but not an overwhelming wow.

Fred Wilson: Sit at the bar, order the Sicilian red, get the tortellini and the crab spaghetti, then the chicken. Go home happy and full

Amy Robertson: I have no clue how they make the rigatoni so good. To boot it's a nice, classic, unpretentious atmosphere

Michael Seymour Blake: Mushroom panini very good. Pesto pasta excellent. Also, try the homemade basil lemonade.

naveen: if it's your first time, the fusilli with octopus and bone marrow.

Andrew Gatto: Spaghetti Carbonara is amazing. Maybe my favorite pasta dish on the planet. I promise you won't regret it.

Sara Bial: Probably my favorite Italian place in the city (so far). The cacio e pepe is to die for.

Julia Qiu: Sweetbreads agnolotti is phenomenal

Hr Ryu: Try their orecchiette! It's one of the Eater's 12 epic pastas!

Dens: I would gladly take a bubble bath in their sage butter cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes in all of NYC.

Lauren J: Pappardelle is absolutely delicious. Crunchy, spicy, cheesy.
