Wood-fired Italian restaurant with a spacious, elegant dining room
"Not only does Borgo have a back patio, it has a back patio with a working water feature. When you pair that with a few beautiful pastas and a bottle of wine (or two), you have the makings of one of the most relaxing meals in Manhattan. Especially at lunch, when it’s much easier to get a reservation at this sprawling Nomad restaurant." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
"From the team behind beloved Brooklyn neighborhood spots Diner, Marlow & Sons, and Roman’s comes Borgo, a seasonal Italian restaurant that’s a little less neighborhoody than its predecessors. Inside the sprawling restaurant, there’s impressively spaced-out tables, flickering taper candles, and a pasta dish called the timballo di annelletti, which tastes like an extra fancy take on a can of SpaghettiOs. Classy without being stuffy, familiar but still inventive, save this restaurant for a special occasion. Focus on the pastas, order the second bottle of wine, and don’t underestimate the fried delicata squash—it looks like onion rings and goes down like funnel cake." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus
"Borgo is a seasonal restaurant in Nomad from the team behind Brooklyn spots like Diner and Roman’s, but it’s a lot less neighborhoody than its predecessors. The giant restaurant has impressively spaced-out tables and flickering taper candles to set the mood. It's classy without being stuffy, familiar but still inventive, and a good place to save for a special occasion. Focus on the rotating pastas like a chitarra integrale with manila clams and bottarga, and order that second bottle of wine." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Three weeks. Once a red hot restaurant begins to cool off, you start to see reservations for 5pm and 10:30pm. Eventually, prime-time tables become easy to snag—but only if you plan the maximum amount of time in advance. That’s where Borgo’s at right now. The Nomad Italian restaurant, where dripping candlesticks flicker over fava purée and cheese-filled focaccia, is currently in stage two of its post-hype period, with plentiful reservations for anyone willing to book a full three weeks out." - bryan kim
"I've recently been going and returning to Borgo, a new restaurant on 27th Street from Andrew Tarlow." - Michael He
