Locanda Verde Hudson Yards

The overall experience was pleasant. From the moment I walked in, I was drawn to the interior design and lighting; it’s the kind of space that photographs well. The service was also thoughtful. I don’t like celery, and after I mentioned it, the server double-checked every dish I ordered with the kitchen. She even reminded me if there might be shared cookware involved. In the end, all the dishes I had were completely free of celery, which I appreciated. The food tasted great too. I’m a fan of squid ink pasta, and their Chitarra Nero was rich in flavor. (Some might find it a bit salty, but it goes well with table bread.) The texture of the noodles was just right, not overly al dente. The other dishes were also satisfying. The steak was tender, and the potatoes were crisp and well done. There was also a nice little surprise: I came here to celebrate birthday, and for dessert they brought out a cute little cake with a lit candle. I have to admit, that gesture left a good impression on me. Would be happy to come back again sometime.

This restaurant, already well-known in Tribeca, has taken things to the next level with its Hudson Yards location. It’s a shame I can only give five stars—this place deserves more. Among the many dining options in Hudson Yards, I can confidently say this is the best. The bread served at the beginning was the best I’ve had in Manhattan—soft, warm, and incredibly flavorful. The appetizers, though not large in portion, were each packed with exceptional taste. I highly recommend ordering a variety to enjoy the full experience. The pasta dishes, the steak we had as a main, and even the side dishes all exceeded expectations. Special thanks to Chris, the sommelier, whose wine recommendation was perfect and added to the experience. The elegant setting also makes it an excellent choice for a classy business meal.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Locanda Verde Hudson Yards! Matt was my server and was incredibly knowledgeable about everything on the menu. The food was impeccable. The atmosphere is cozy chic. I’ve been to the downtown location many times but this location not only offers different things on the menu but also an elevated vibe. I highly recommend eating here.

Clearly suffering the problems that plague newly opened restaurants with staffing and organization. They need another person to seat people or at least not have to do some strange multitasking (carrying a doggie bag to the kitchen?) Also uniquely when tasting two wines the waiter wanted to use the same glass? But the food is as good as Tribeca and the atmosphere had a lot of energy - and with food this exquisite Locanda Verde should be a great success. Do not miss it!

I cannot say enough good things- The service was exceptional Sydney made our experience top notch! The lamb sliders were cooked to perfection and flavorful. Our entrees were on time, hot, beautifully presented and full of robust flavor. The restaurant gets very busy so be sure to get reservations. Will definitely be returning patrons.

Locanda Verde delivers an unforgettable dining experience that seamlessly blends exquisite cuisine with a refined atmosphere. Chef Lily’s culinary prowess is truly something to behold. Her dishes elevate simple ingredients into works of art, and her attention to detail is evident in every bite. The focaccia was nothing short of spectacular—an ethereal, melt-in-your-mouth experience that set the tone for the meal. The Green Caesar, a brilliant reinvention of a classic, takes this humble salad to new heights with its perfect balance of flavors. The Sardinian Sheep’s Milk Ricotta was delightfully creamy and indulgent, while the Chitarra Nero stood out as a showstopper—exquisite in both taste and presentation. What truly sets Locanda Verde apart, beyond its extraordinary food, is the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, kind, and warm, making every aspect of the dining experience seamless. A special mention to Lisa and Jose, who were particularly exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, they added that extra touch of hospitality that elevates a meal from good to great. The restaurant itself is a visual masterpiece. The ambiance exudes understated elegance, and the stylish design only enhances the allure of this iconic New York City gem. Whether you’re here for an intimate dinner or a celebration, the atmosphere is unrivaled. I had the pleasure of enjoying an incredible time at Locanda Verde, and I will undoubtedly be returning for more. It’s rare to find a restaurant that not only offers impeccable food but also creates a welcoming and luxurious environment. Locanda Verde is, without a doubt, a must-visit destination in Hudson Yards.

Wonderful service with great cocktails and delicious food. We ordered a lot! The razor clams, the grandmother's ravioli were great.

We went for an early dinner and were immediately struck by how stunning the upstairs dining room is; chic, sexy, and masculine in all the right ways. It’s an impressive space that sets the tone before the first sip or bite. Our server was warm and personable, striking the right balance between attentive and easygoing. We kicked things off with two espresso martinis, mine with tequila, Elliott’s with vodka, both excellent. I later switched to Palomaritas, which were bright, balanced, and dangerously good. We shared the tuna crudo to start, clean and beautifully presented. I followed with the steak tartare and the lamb chops, both perfectly executed. Elliott had the black pasta with seafood, rich and deeply flavorful, and the eggplant lasagna, which was delicious despite the sliced eggplant being a bit thicker than ideal. For dessert, the pistachio crespelle was a standout, elegant, thoughtful, and visually striking. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely return. One note: the room deserves a bit more respect in terms of dress. Watching someone in shorts and sneakers amid such elegance felt jarring. A suggested dress code wouldn’t hurt. All in all, Locanda Verde is a beautiful, confident addition to Hudson Yards, with food and service to match.
