I've wanted to try this restaurant for the longest time and was afraid that when I finally went I would be disappointed. I wasn't. You need reservations, and plan your time accordingly especially if you are going to a show. We came for a late lunch after visiting MOMA, Museum of Modern Art and it was only a short walk... More

I have sung at some of the finest Italian restaurants that are around. Have tasted some of the finest Italian food also. But Patsy's is by far the King of them all. Recently on May 16th, we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary. Our restaurant of choice was once again Patsy"s ! If you want great food, great service, and hear... More

We arrived for an after theater dinner a bit earlier than our 5:45 reservation. The restaurant was very accommodating and we were seated for our meal. The gentlemen who served us was a man of little words or expression. After placing our orders, we overheard another server explaining the specials for the day. We had no idea if these were... More

Even though we just wanted a quick one course meal, they were happy to accommodate us and the pasta dishes excellent - better than we had in Italy!

Six friends and I went to this restaurant our 1st night in NYC. It was excellent - food, wait staff and atmosphere. Prices were reasonable. The cananoli cake was out of this world. The only thing is they would not give us separate checks. But that was a minor snag. Overall it was well worth it.

I have been going to Patsy's since I was a little girl. For over fifty years the food has been excellent,consistent, and delicious. Sal is always around to give you a warm greeting, and the patrons are an interesting loyal group of New Yorkers. It is truly one of my favorite restaurant in New York City. Enjoy it!

Because of my glitch we were 15 minutes late for our 6PM Saturday reservation. We did call at 6:05 to alert them. Once we got there they did there best to accommodate us. We sat upstairs -we had the calamari-too rubbery. My wife had the fettucine alfredo. It got cold fast and coagulated. My spaghetti and clam sauce was good... More

My traveling partner and I were visiting New York City for three days. We had dinner at Patsy's Italian Restaurant on April 15, 2013. Upon our arrival at the restaurant we were warmly greeted by staff. Our wait person insisted on hanging up my sweater so it would not fall off of my chair onto the floor. We met Sal,... More

Delightful - from the host to the servers to the food. Intimate dining room with great decor. The atmosphere is laid back, not touristy, and the food is superlative. My swordfish came steamed with a whisper of fresh tomato sauce and basil. Heavenly.
