Nonna Beppa

This restaurant came highly recommended by a few friends and I was excited to try it as I love authentic cuisine from Emilia Romagna. Unfortunately, it turned out to be just another below average Italian restaurant with most of the dishes we tried falling below expectations in terms of quality. As soon as you seat they’ll welcome you with a complimentary small bite which was nice. We started with the gnocco fritto & charcuterie, which was recommended on the menu. I’d strongly suggest avoiding it because it is certainly not worth $39. The lobster appetizer special was also disappointing. Large portion, however the lobster was not fresh and had a gummy texture. The pasta with clams was overly salty and not enjoyable. The spaghetti with scampi was ok, however the dish came with a bizarre presentation: a langoustine head but no tail? It didn’t make much sense. The branzino filet was disappointing and tasted/looked like the frozen ones you can get in any supermarket. The octopus main course was ok but came in a small portion. If you’re hungry avoid it. Desserts were unimpressive and all garnished with the same mascarpone cream. Overall, although the staff was really nice and accommodating I didn’t enjoy my experience and would not recommend this restaurant. It simply didn’t live up to the hype and I don’t see myself returning.

Our absolute favorite restaurant. The staff is incredible and so knowledgeable. The food is amazing and everything is so delicious! Our favorites are the prosciutto, tortellini en brodo, and the tiramisu. We’ve had countless wonderful experiences here over the years (including our wedding!) and it’s always been a pleasure. If you are in New York, you have to eat here!

Delicious food, nice ambiance, not too loud, good margaritas, very nice staff. I found the wooden chairs uncomfortable, but otherwise really enjoyed this spot. It could be very cute for a date. I went with colleagues for a team dinner and had a lovely time :)

This place is close to my job and after reading a couple reviews and looking at all the pictures of delicious pasta I decided to give it a try! My friend and I went directly after work around 4pm. (right in time for happy hour) Although the happy hour menu is not extensive the food was delicious and the drinks were great. We both got margaritas, an appetizer each and a main dish of pasta each. They are generous with the bread and our server was very attentive, again it wasn’t busy and we were actually the only table haha’ but I’m sure the service is great at other times too. I’m not a picky eater so I would like to say this is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had but again some people might feel differently. My friend got the ravioli and I got the fettuccine in bolognese sauce. 😃

Cute and cozy Italian restaurant with excellent pastas with some unique flavors and great service. Caught the end of happy hour and the house white wine was fantastic. Portions might be bit small for some but we enjoyed sharing various dishes. Looking forward to coming back.

I always Love finding a hidden gem right in the neighborhood, and this Italian spot — with its authentic imported ingredients, and beautiful ambience did not disappoint! 🇮🇹 @nonnabeppasoho is an Italian restaurant serving authentic Emilia Romagna cuisine, a first time experience for me! Executive Chef Giancarlo “Wendy” Cacciatori takes great pride in selecting only the highest acclaimed, quality ingredients, importing the Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, Aceto Balsamico and other ingredients you see! 🙌 The even have a private dating room with just one table and a water fountain and a perfect vibe for a special occasion! 😍 Here are some Must try dishes: 🍖 Prosciutto di Parma con Gnocco Fritto 🌱Carciofo Grigliata: Grilled roman baby artichokes with balsamic caramelized onions 🫛 Polpette Pancetta e Piselli: Angus meatballs, pork belly, green peas and Parmigiano Reggiano flakes 🍝 Tagliatelle alla Bolognese 🍰 Mascarpone e Nutella

This was fantastic Italian food. Service was good and the drinks were good as well. My only complaint was that the pasta portions seemed small although they were incredibly tasty. The pasta was exceptionally fresh. The sauces were amazing. Prices were all so very fair considering it's Manhattan location.

Service was amazing, ambiance was great! Loved how the pastas were cooked and you can tell that they are homemade. Steak melts in your mouth and i highly recommend!

What a great find in a city with so many choices. We were in the area trying to find somewhere to eat and peeked at Yelp. The great reviews made it a no-brainer. From the ambiance to the service to the food, everything was excellent. Whenever we are out and grilled octopus is on the menu we always have to try it out. It was so tasty and the sauce it was served on was delectable with the bread. We soaked it all up. My gnocchi were definitely made in house; they were so fresh. My date loved his salmon too. We ended our dinner with an affogato which I forgot to take a pic of. It was soooo good and an excellent way to end the night.

Quiet little spot with the coziest decor! If you are looking for a place for dinner, wine and reading a good book.... This is it! Pro tip! Go for Wine Tuesday for a discount on select wines!

Last minute late night dinner. Near hotel and it was such a great choice. Kept it simple with Prosciutto Di Parma. It was cooked perfect! Will def be back.

Came here for a work dinner and I will definitely be back another time! Service was great and overall it was the perfect volume inside to enjoy a work dinner! Happy hour goes until 7pm on the week nights and we ordered all of those appetizers - my favorite of those was the bruschetta. The prosciutto with melon is a must order! For my main I ordered the tortellini en brodo and it was fantastic. The brodo was the perfect balance of savory and salty and was a good sized portion. The consensus from everyone was that the pasta portions left us satisfied but not feeling like we're going to roll over from over eating. For dessert we split a few items, but my favorite was the salame al cioccolato. The next time I come back I definitely want to try the lasagna or the scampi!

Loved the music, the ambience, and the wine. Oh, and the burrata is good and the tortellino in chicken stock paired well with the Bramito 2021 Umbria Chardonnay. Salute!

We were the only group at the restaurant on a Monday night and got seated promptly. I was craving pasta and decided to order the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. The amount of meat was generous but it was lacking sauce. It was also a bit too salty for my taste and the meat was kind of dry. It would have been great if there was more pasta and sauce to balance out the dish.

Service was fine here though, and it was a very empty restaurant on a Monday evening. Just okay Italian food. I wasn't impressed to pay $30+ for just-okay bolognese dish when there are so many Italian spots that have wow'ed me in this city.

Crowded on a week night but still cozy. All of the food was incredible. Particularly loved the octopus appetizer, pastas and tiramisu.

Pasta was very mediocre. The Parmesan was carrying. Portions were small. The service was good, also we went on a Saturday around 6/7pm and we were one of the only 2 tables occupied. The ambience is nice, it's a cute restaurant for a first date. They do have veg options tho, I appreciate that.

Excellent little neighborhood restaurant , very inexpensive. The staff is very attentive and the place is very cute. The food is also very good , try the pasta with clams and the soups , I will totally be back

Uninspired...overpriced...rude...obnoxious...bland...rushed...just plain weird. All the adjectives to describe the worst experience we have ever had at a NYC restaurant. Nonna Beppa, on the outside, has nice décor, smarmy manager prancing table-to-table and a lot of talk of family restaurant. We even got the "2 Italian ladies in the back rolling pasta." We had a special meal planned with all kids in NYC and ordered 3 courses. First, we had the $21 mixed salad which was bagged spinach with some parmesan. The Bolognese, presumably made by the Italian ladies in the back, had a very thin and overly salted sauce, and did not have any ricotta. When we asked for parmesan cheese, we were offered a tiny dish of pre-grated cheese. The Gnocchi with cubed salmon was bland and flavorless. After the meals are when things really got weird. We ordered nearly $100 of after dinner drinks and desserts. The desserts took nearly a half hour to arrive. While waiting, my daughter had opened a piece of cookie from our travels, and the manager threatened to charge us a $4/person "cake fee" if she did not put it away. After finally finishing our desserts, we had to flag down a server for our bill. They had overcharged us (simple mistake), but it took them another 10 minutes to correct it. The ink had not dried on the bill, when the smarmy manager walked up to our table and said, "we would appreciate it if you could vacate the table to allow for others that have reservations." We had been there for exactly 90 minutes, inclusive of the long wait for desserts/bill, and spent $500. Beyond inappropriate. Nonna Beppa is a joyless experience with mediocre Italian, headed by management that cares about extracting as much money as possible from you before they ask you to vacate the premises.

Extremely rude staff and not very friendly. Service was slow. Sad to say the entrees were good, but could not overcome the staffs unprofessionalism and rudeness.

First thing you notice on the menu is that this place is actually an outpost of a restaurant in Miami. You get lured in by the suggestion of a family-driven, if not at least family-inspired, Italian dining experience, but instead you get the worst of what you've probably experienced in Miami. Confusing atmosphere, assembly line kitchen, meh portions, bare minimum waitstaff, everything is 25% more expensive than it should be... and just whatever needs to be done to grab as much of your money as possible. Plain and simple, this is a mediocre Italian restaurant masquerading as a high-end Italian restaurant. When I dined here, there didn't seem to be any front of house presence whatsoever. Setting aside the absurdly proportioned decor around the bar, the rest of the dining room is strangely decorated and is not comfortable at all. We had a gigantic AC vent (of which there are... 8? perched around restaurant) blowing on us and by the end of the meal it was turned up so high that I had to stand up and out of the way to prevent shivering. What should be a quaint-but-serious Italian restaurant ends up feeling like the "edgy second date gastropub" in a northeastern college town. Having tried four pasta dishes, I strongly conclude that the food was mediocre. The lasagna was a crusty p/reheat job. The signature dish was disappointing and flavorless. The lobster gnocchi for $38 was truly bad with an overwhelming fishy taste and overcooked gnocchi. The pumpkin stuff was pretty good but nowhere near the richness or depth of flavor demanded at this price point. Overall, a big disappointment. The fact that multiple reviews call the place "cozy" adds to my consternation.

One of my favorite places to visit. Such a gem of a restaurant. Every item on the menu is a good choice. Love, love, LOVE IT here!! Great service, good food, amazing ambiance. Really cool concept. To make everything even more exceptional , owners are very friendly with guests whenever they're in town.

I would say more good stuff going on here than not but def a couple things to keep in mind. Service was great and I really enjoyed the food. Our waiter was attentive and our food and drinks came out quickly. On the downside, they charged for water. When asked if we wanted sparking or still water we said still. Not knowing they charged us for three bottles of water. Nyc has great tap water and they didn't advise that they were doing bottled water. Maybe a partial assumption on our part but our party was shocked she see a water charge on our bill. We assumed they were bringing us tap water and didn't expect a charge on our bill for that. Also this place overall felt a bit pricey to me. I enjoyed the food but overall I thought it was a bit much compared with other options. I think happy hour is def the way to go and overall did enjoy the experience at Nonna Beppa.

Good was great, atmosphere and service were great also. We all got different dishes and every one was spectacular

Great restaurant right outside of the busy Soho hustle bustle. It's a short walk from the Dominic hotel where we stay. Our meals and selection of Italian wine or delicious. We are very comfortable eating inside or outside at this restaurant. Will definitely be back next time in New York.

Food and ambiance is amazing. It is pricing but the food is freshly made. My wife and I found this restaurant by accident. Their menu did change from the last time we went (four cheese handmade gnocchi was taken off) but their eggplant parm appetizer is to die for! Can not recommend this place enough!

I was a little disappointed by the ambiance and food, but the drinks were good and the service was great. This isn't your typical Soho happy hour location. It stays pretty quiet on a weeknight and to echo another review, feels corporate. We came for happy hour and ordered a couple Moscow Mules, which were refreshing but largely ice. The house red was delicious- dry but flavorful- I would definitely order that again. The appetizers weren't amazing, aside from the bruschetta which I'm still thinking about. The meat and cheese board was definitely a serving for one, and it only came with a single cheese cube. The zucchini salad was just thin slices of cucumber with some pomegranate sprinkled on top- it looked fancy but tasted like something I could make at home. I don't know if I would come back here but I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid it.

Really good food! I had octopus, Branzino, and a dessert with Nutella. The wine was excellent also. Our waiter, Danny was great! Thank you! We will be back.

3.5 stars My friend was searching for a destination for her group birthday dinner, and she ideally wanted to find a spot that offered an Italian tasting menu. I was helping her research and came across Nonna Beppa Soho, which had been on my list to try. The chef's selected culinary journey was priced at $115 for 3 dishes and a dessert, which was perfectly acceptable for our crew. The restaurant was pretty quiet on that evening, so we had the place largely to ourselves. We started with drinks, and I opted first for an Aperol Spritz, which was perfectly balanced. I later changed to a glass of the 2019 Marchesi Antinori Villa Antinori Bianco Toscana IGT from Tuscany, Italy. The white blend was mainly Trebbiano, with some Malvasia grapes incorporated. The heavenly wine was crisp, fruity, and floral; it was a spectacular blend that invigorated my senses! In addition to my excellent beverages, I sampled a friend's Old Fashioned, which had the perfect balance of sweetness and smokiness. We enjoyed sips of our drinks, first with fluffy bread, and then proceeding on to our meal. Our initial bite was a tiny cheese puff topped with some type of cheese mousse, which was delightful. Then, our first real course was the Calamari alla Griglia, a light salad of a few greens that was topped with grilled calamari. The seafood rings were coated in a creamy, red pepper sauce that was tangy and delicious. Our next dish was a Spaghetti al Pomodoro that was topped with half a ball of burrata cheese. By incorporating the cold cheese into the warm pasta, it melted into the tomato sauce and made for a heavenly bite that was my favorite component of the meal. The pasta was followed by a pan-seared Mediterranean branzino fillet that had been lightly seasoned with Italian EVOO and herbs. While it looked plain upon its arrival at the table, it was extremely flavorful. The fish was served with a generous portion of sautéed baby spinach that was topped with butter and sprinkled Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Though the salty cheese took the spinach's taste up a notch, my spinach was cold, making it less appealing. The meal ended with a sweet treat, which was a warm, rich chocolate brownie. A scoop of soft, Mascarpone cream made for an interesting pairing for the cake, as opposed to traditional whipped cream. A sliced strawberry was included for some brightness. My experience at Nonna Beppa Soho was enjoyable, but I thought the food and service both could have been better for the price.

Delicious food, nice ambiance, not too loud, good margaritas, very nice staff. I found the wooden seats uncomfortable but otherwise, really liked this spot! Also a good choice for a date. I went with colleagues for a team dinner and had a lovely time :)

amazing food! Myself and 3 friends went to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint. They have happy hr every day and mocktail selections. Service was quick and efficient, and they offer paying via QR code on the receipt. We went on a Saturday night and it was not crowded. Decor is very classy too.

We were celebrating our anniversary and reserved the table for two in the wine cellar. It was perfection! Highly recommend! The service was outstanding. The food was incredible. The ambiance was perfect and romantic.

Corporate is the first word that comes to mind. My partner and I came here since we found a good deal on a prepaid dining app. When we arrived the restaurant was dead which was weird on a Thursday around happy hour. We were promptly seated and ordered the charcuterie board, 2 glasses of wine, the ribs, and a tortellini. The plating of the tortellini was questionable since it was submersed in broth, the lambs left a little to be wanting. The real stars of the show were the tiramisu at the end and the charcuterie board. Around 6:00 a large group of corporate guys came in which really put the vibe of the place in perspective. As stated this seemed like a good place to bring clients or go with coworkers after work but personally I wasn't a big fan of this place to spend an anniversary. Would I come here again? Maybe if I was in the area, however Nonna Beppa Soho didn't really meet my expectations.

I need to leave a complaint based on bad service by the manager. As I entered the restaurant, the manager directed me to place my expensive umbrella in a container by the door. I shied away from doing it and he redirected me. So I did believing it was an order of sorts. After dinner, I went to pick it up and it was gone. Stolen but honestly more likely taken by mistake. There was a low quality one still there. The server was very nice and called the manager. The manager comes back 35 minutes later. He then tells me it's my fault and I did not have to put it there and takes no responsibility. No one offer me a drink while I waited, not even water, no comping my meal, no offer to replace it, no gift certificate to help. Then why make me wait 35 minutes? Thanks for nothing. I come to NY often and normally eat there a couple of times each trip and bring guests. Never again.

0/5 stars if I could. Do not waste your time here. Shady business practices. After purchasing a voucher from Pulsd for a meal for 2, we made a reservation by phone, as specifically instructed, over a week in advance for Saturday night (12/16/2023). Over the phone, we specifically inquired TWICE whether the voucher would be accepted on a weekend, as the voucher fine print did not give any limitations on days/times. We were told that we could use the voucher, and to show it to our server when it was time to pay. We then sent an email to the restaurant to confirm our date and time, and provided our voucher information a second time. The owner Valentina replied saying that was perfect, and reiterated that we only needed to show the voucher to our server when paying. Well, I am so glad we avoided this scam and showed our server when we were seated because our server who informs us that they do not accept vouchers on weekends. We show him not only the voucher from Pulsd, with no fine print limiting its use, but also the email from the owner. He was very rude, ignored our evidence and supposedly went to speak with the owner (which I do not believe he did), then returned saying that the voucher would not be accepted. The management here is nonexistent and service was horrible - the owner or manager did not even make an appearance during this entire event. On top of that, this restaurant engaged in false advertising and we feel completed defrauded - if we had shown the voucher at the end of our meal, they would have 100% scammed us. We absolutely will never recommend. Thank you to Pulsd, who was appalled to hear what transpired at this restaurant, and issued us a refund.

Excellent varieties of pasta, authentic Italian flavors and fresh ingredients. Staff was also super nice, I'll definitely be back.

I want to start off with how much I enjoyed the ambiance and service of the restaurant - the decor and our waiter were top notch and pushed this review from a 3 to a 4. I found each part of the restaurant well decorated. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. The food was underwhelming and I'd skip it out next time - I'd probably come just for drinks. Firstly, we started with the grilled octopus to share, which was yummy, but not a great portion to share. For entrees, when I asked for the pasta recommendation, the wait was hesitant with the dish I asked about but said many people enjoy it. I ended up getting it and it was inedible due to the salt content. When I followed up with the waiter about that, he said he also feels the same way about the dish but he's not allowed to say dishes are bad......which is fine, but honesty about the high saltiness would've been great ahead of time so I could've ordered something else! I couldn't eat it, so my fiancé did on my behalf and also felt it was a poor salt to food ratio. He got the pumpkin sage pasta, which was delicious! However, the portions are smaller than I'm used to in the nearby Italian restaurants of little Italy. Probably more so since we both had to share the pumpkin pasta dish since the other pasta dish was not it. The mascarpone cookie dessert was the highlight of the night, I wouldn't miss out on that! Overall, a beautiful restaurant with thought provoking art in every corner of it. I do recommend a visit!

Really enjoyed - but appears I am part of the "corporate bro" target market! Came here for dinner with a large group of coworkers - there was a lovely truffle feature going on, and I would've been all about it, but I am weak in the face of mushroom risotto. It was amazing - perfect texture, perfect brine - and my boss made fun of me for mopping the plate with my bread but I don't even care. I did find it slightly TOO dim for my aging eyes, didn't love the wine list, and have a personal vendetta against grissini, but those are minor quibbles.

What a wonderful double date night we had at Nonna Beppa last night. My dear friend dined here last week and loved it so much that she had to bring us. The restaurant is super cozy and inviting. The staff is so friendly and attentive. The food...delicious. You know you are eating quality food and it all tastes fresh. I loved every morsel I put in my mouth. The prosciutto is silky and goes perfectly with the amazing balsamic vinegar they put on the table...i could have drank that bottle. The tagliatelle...perfect ribbons of pasta. The dessert...oh my, all of it is delicious, the marscopone cream, I need a tub of that in my fridge asap! I look forward to returning for another great meal very soon!

Amazing experience! I was transported to northern Italy for 2 hours. The staff is so kind and the menu phenomenal. A great experience for locals and tourists alike, very authentic. Can't wait to return!

When I come into New York City now having moved away for slightly over a decade, I crave good Italian food. This hit every mark, ambiance, service and food. All the small wonderful details they have from the wine glasses, the plates, the salt shaker, the bread in a adorable bag, to the most important part, the food. I had the Pumpkin Tortellini with Bolognese with was amazing paired with the Super Tuscan wine. Insider tip for an extra special date, they have a private table for two down in the cellar. I not only recommend but I definitely plan on returning.

Amazing atmosphere, cozy lightening and vibe, and the bolognese was to die for! The general manager was great and very friendly.

Delicious food! Went to Nonna Beppa last night and really enjoyed the meal. Started with the meat and cheese board which came with their signature gnocchi fritto which is like a savory version of funnel cake. The board was very substantial and the perfect size for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. Then we got the tagliatelle bolognese and the risotto with sausage and gorgonzola. Both were delicious but the risotto was such an interesting dish that we both loved. Nice wine list and good service. Definitely recommend!

This is a beautiful cozy restaurant with great attentive service. It's also reasonably priced except for the langostinos @ 15$ a piece. The scallop appetizer in the shell with breadcrumbs was tasty the Langostino's were tasty but not worth the price and small. The truffle risotto was salty but anything with truffles in it gets my vote and we had 5oz of save truffles on top for an extra $100$. The Bronzino was good not great and the artichoke salad was tasty and the filet mignon was cooked perfectly but they didn't have that charcoal grill that I like. Wines were delicious.

Great for weekday lunch specials! Went here during the week with coworkers and was surprised I had walked by this place so many times without ever looking in. The dining area is actually a lot larger than what the exterior leads you to believe. The lunch specials were $15 for an appetizer and entree (amazing deal for fresh pasta in manhattan!). The noodles are made in the restaurant (you can watch in the front) and you can definitely tell freshness from the texture and taste. The parmigiana di melanzane (eggplant parm) was absolutely amazing and very filling for an appetizer for one person. The tagliatelle al ragu was also amazing with generous amounts of meat with the freshly made tagliatelle. I will definitely come back here for the lunch special the next time I have enough time for a sit down lunch during the week!

I don't know what happened to this restaurant! Service was non-existent, maybe because our party used Pulsd vouchers. I would forgive this if the food was good, but it was totally tasteless! My entree: Costine di Agnello e Polenta $36 Lamb Ribs and Polenta was so tough, I couldn't cut it with a knife! And no flavor at all! Even desserts were nothing special! And the art! I appreciate art in restaurants, but not when it represents pieces of meat dripping with blood! It really spoiled my mood and appetite! The 2 stars are only for the live music.... And I would give minus stars for food!

Stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for lunch on a Friday weekday with co-workers. Went for the $15 lunch special - appetizer and main course and it was actually very filling. I got the eggplant parm and the gnocchi 4 cheese. I thought the portion sizes were pretty decent for a lunch special. Only reason I am not giving this 4 stars is because I personally thought the gnocchi was too rich and creamy. Could only get a few bites in before throwing in the towel in finishing the entire plate. Other than that, the ambiance is wonderfully decorated for the holiday season, and the service was kind. Perhaps I would come again to try other dishes.

TLDR: Handmade pasta specialist in Hudson Square. Great place to experience authentic cuisine from the Emilia Romagna region. A bit on the pricier side but lunchtime is an incredible value. When Nonna Beppa first opened up in Hudson Square, I went by myself to check it out. So glad I did. The lunch menu here is awesome. For around $15 you get an appetizer and an entree. The food here reminds me a lot of eating in Italy. This particular restaurant specializes in handmade pastas like tagliatelle, gnocchi, tortellini, etc. Their pasta is incredible yet somehow, the recipes are quite simple like much of the cuisine from this region. I've eaten here many times but you cannot go wrong with their gnocchi. The gnocchi are these perfect little bite-size clouds of potato starchiness that will have you eating more and more. My favorite pasta though is the tagliatelle with sausage and mushroom. It's a cream-based sauce with crumbled sausage and mushrooms but with that egg pasta.. it's the perfect balance of rich, savory, velvety goodness. I've only eaten here for lunch so far but it's been many times. I'm not down there much anymore but would definitely go back for dinner. If you're looking for authentic Italian - this is a place you should check out.

I've been meaning to come back here ever since a good friend had her wedding reception here in 2019, and finally made it back yesterday! It's a beautiful and cozy little space, with excellent service (they even brought a little crate for my sister to set her umbrella on!). The food was as good as we remembered - we came quite specifically for the gnocco frito, and the pasta was excellent as well- our table got the clam pasta, tagliatelle with ragú, tagliatelle with mushrooms and sausage, and lasaña, and all were very much enjoyed (and one of our friends is Italian!). The desserts (we got the pavesini and the tiramisu) were very rich. Even though the portions are not huge, we were most certainly not hungry by the end. Will definitely be coming back when we are in the city!

Fantastic!!!!!!! Just go. Authentic, delicious, lovely, beautiful, the people are so nice, decor perfect, music perfect, food amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am here now as I write this. Made my day, week, month! Wow!

Delicious comfort food. We started with the meat and cheese board and had the gnocchi, risotto, octopus, and chicken with artichokes. Everything was yummy!

Came here with my mom for dinner the other night and had an absolutely wonderful experience. They started us off with these little mortadella bites that my mom loved. For the appetizer, definitely get the grilled artichokes (some of the best I've had outside of Rome) as well as the eggplant parmigiana (10/10 sauce). And absolutely order the pastas. The tagliatelle with artichokes was delightful and perfectly Al dente. Our personal favorite though was the pumpkin Cappelacci. Absolutely outstanding and one of the best pastas I've had in NYC in a while. And make sure to order dessert! The tiramisu was so good!

now don't get me wrong, the place was pretty, inviting, clean and the staff was great but their food... was sadly a literal waste of money. The flavor just wasn't there and i took two bites of my lemon pasta before i gave up on it and threw it out. I'm sorry to say this but it wasn't authentic, it was salty and just sadly overpriced and not good. I wouldn't go back.

I really wanted to like this place, but there are a few gaps that I think are important for folks to know about - The rating is a bit high for the service, ambiance and price. We came in on a Thursday at 8:30PM, when it wasn't packed, yet the servers didn't make eye contact and rushed through the menu recommendations. The food was overpriced for the quality, though overall pricing was comparable to places in soho/tribeca. Food-wise, the signature pasta dish was average - worse than the pumpkin pasta dish which was good, but nothing special. We also ordered the prosciutto app which was disappointing. Maybe my standards are high, but if you're paying $30 for a plate of prosciutto, ideally it would be good or even great - this was neither. The olive oil they provide with the house bread was average, and I would say that's a bad sign for an Italian restaurant. For the pure sake of saving folks from a bad experience, I might caveat that this is one of the worst Italian restaurants I've been to in NYC, and I'm only sharing that, because my fellow Italian food lovers may be dismayed at what's offered here. Lastly, the ambiance is... tough. I found the music to be cheesy, the art to be carnal (just images of raw meat dripping with blood on brick and concrete walls), and the birthday song blasting over the loud speaker to be distracting. I will say, the wine was good, though a poor value, but they have discounted wine nights Tuesdays which could be worth trying if you need a spot in the neighborhood. Just north of Houston, there are countless superior Italian restaurants. Do yourself a favor and walk 10-15 min north for those.

I can't believe the quality of Italian food being served at Nonna Beppa in Soho. Wow! I planned out a nice day for my wife. She normally gets her haircut in Williamsburg but scheduling had us at Arrojo SOHO. If I don't have pasta in 5 days I turn into a cranky monster so I went to my trusty Yelp app and found Nonna Beppa Soho close by Arrojo SOHO. Walking inside, its decorated beautifully for the holidays. Dimly lit and festive, another bonus is, we have the restaurant to ourselves. We ordered our Italian wines and our starter, Carciofi e Parmigiano which is Artichokes and Parmigiano cheese. Amazing and it gets us ready for things to come. My wife always orders better than me! She ordered Tortellini in brodo, or simply Tortellini in broth. I have to point out, the tortellini being made here is stuffed with Italian meats and cheeses. I took one bite and I was swooning! The broth (Is it chicken?) isn't salty but brings the dish to another level. I was so happy when she couldn't finish! hahaha When it comes to my meal, play time is over. I want my pasta fix and I want it now. I ordered the Tagliatelle al Ragu', Ragu means sexy Bolognese Sauce. Tagliatelle. Bolognese Sauce. Topped with some grated cheese. Put a fork in me, I'm done. This freshly made pasta along with the amazing Bolognese Sauce is created in a true Italian style. I don't want a cream sauce, I want to taste the Bolognese Sauce! The pasta is secondary, but together makes this a dish not to miss. We left there so happy from this meal. People started to come in to dine, for that one moment in time we had the restaurant to ourselves. 10 Yelp stars, cin cin

This place is fantastic. I work in the area, and randomly decided to dine in because of the happy hour sign posted outside. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Christina who was extremely warm and welcoming. I promised I would return and now I come here a couple times a week with my colleague. Christina, Roberto and Pablo have consistently served us, but the entire staff is phenomenal. They genuinely care about the satisfaction from their customers. We've tried so many different things, none have which disappointed. Favorites include the bruschetta, branzino and tagliatelle ragu. But, I want to emphasize that there was nothing I didn't like. Thank you Daniella for talking me into the crostata for dessert tonight even though I was full. It was delicious!

Pasta was the real deal. Compared to real Italian pasta, it hits the spot, you can even see the pasta rolled fresh up front
