My long term partner and I reunited in the city that never sleeps, the big apple, the empire state, and experienced an outdoor seated array of pasta and juices. Food was not our favorite as pasta was more al dente than hoped with limited sauce and some shredded cheese. The dinner crowd had not rolled in so it was peaceful and the waiter(s) were very nice.

Excellent food. I had the salmon burger and it was delicious. The lentil soup was hardy. It was a good way to start my dining experience.It was a quaint and lovely atmosphere. The host and waiter were wonderful. There werent any families with children like other Italian restaurants on the strip. So it is lovely for a nice date.A well-designed decor made it feel open and cozy. A good place to linger after a meal 😋

They have some homemade pastas here. The ambiance is excellent and the flavor is delicious. I ordered the Paseo pasta and it was awesome just wish they took the tail off the shrimp.

Excellent food in an attractive ambience with considerate staff. They accommodated us despite our not havng a reservation, fitting us in and not rushing us even so.

Update: I can confirm they charged me twice. The transaction posted. And I again would like to say I am very disappointed in the fact that I was not given back my card after I SHOWED them that their original charge had been approved by my credit card company, and instead was charged again (with no effort on their part to actually figure out what THEY did wrong). I’m a student, and I’m not made of money. Being charged twice, totaling an amount of 325 dollars, is unacceptable. Cannot recommend this place.Food was good and I was ready to decide that I might come back, and then they had “machine issues” and charged my credit card twice. Regardless of whether the charge is dropped, I really disliked that they went ahead and charged me again when I had already showed them the confirmation from my bank, because their system had not registered the transaction. Having eaten at thousands of restaurants all around the world, I can say this has never happened to me.Not to mention, they added a “manual gratuity” to my bill, when my party was only of 3. I was ready and willing to give more of a tip, but was very taken aback by the fact that it was put on the bill without me being able to choose.

I would’ve given it five stars but as soon as they brought the sizzling hot plates the restaurant stank and I now I I feel we have to go home and change our clothes. It was perfect until then. The vibe was perfect. The food is outstanding, and the service is outstanding but as soon as they brought the sizzle plates out the vibe was dead, and people started leaving. The restaurant was covered in smoke. Such a pity. 5 stars until the sizzle plates.

A real treasure. Beautiful interior, great live music and the food - utterly delightful. Everything we had -the spinach omelet, chicken cutlet and the parmigiana sorrentina was exceeding well done showcasing a care for high quality ingredients and real culinary craftsmanship. The espresso was a true italian espresso too. Lovely service on top of it. Thank you!

I went for brunch. The first time at the restaurant. It was full. So best to make reservations.I ordered lasagna on a whim. I am very picky about my lasagna. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I had to stop myself from eating too much. There was plenty to eat.My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs and ate it all up.My parents ordered pancakes and french toast and then shared them. I say french because it seemed not to be ordinary french toast with some fruit and powdered sugar.The pancakes were two of the fluffiest ones I have ever seen. And my parents had enough to take some home.So, all in all, I DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK!Oh and there was some live music in the corner near the door. A little jazzy.If I were you, I would give this place a try!Plus, there were some toddlers with grown-ups and a small dog in the corner.As a first-timer, I will DEFINITELY be a second-timer, if not more!

I hosted a birthday brunch for 12 people at Tartina this past weekend, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. When I emailed to inquire about a party menu, Maria Teresa called me personally to put the details together, and I got a quote quickly. Tartina had the best prix fixe price of any of the restaurants I reached out to, and being a neighborhood local, I knew the food would be amazing as always. The day of the event, our table was beautifully set (one long banquet for 12 people), and the service was professional and efficient. They put so much food out! For the price per person, I was shocked by the generous portions--it was served family-style, and we couldnt finish everything they put out. It was a gorgeous 3-course spread, and everything was cooked consistently and very well-done. Everything came out hot and fresh; the tables barely had enough room! Everything was truly authentic Italian. My guests raved about the food (the arancini and the pancakes were crowd favorites), and we enjoyed the live jazz music throughout the afternoon. Our table was set up on the upper level (a short step above the main level of the dining room), which felt like a semi-private experience. I cannot say enough good things about the day, and I will definitely be hosting more events here.

Review №23

The food here is mediocre especially for NYC, but the price point is much lower than other Italian restaurants in the area (although still not inexpensive.) We ordered the gnocchi and it was just okay. It did not seem very fresh; the tomato sauce tasted a little bit sour, as if it had turned. However, it was definitely not inedible, and our server was kind to us during our dinner.

We recently were there for brunch and dinner. Each time the food was excellent and the portions large. Our dinner experience was particularly nice as the restaurant had numerous and varied specials and the service was phenomenal. We will be returning, and I highly recommend it. For those of you in the neighborhood, please note that it is a nice outdoor alternative to the traffic of Broadway/Amsterdam/Columbus (street & sidewalk) as it’s adjacent to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine with outdoor service on the side street, but also on Amsterdam Avenue on the weekends when the street is closed to traffic. We were happy with the food, service and atmosphere.

I had my 81st birthday party at Tartina lunchtime today. Id been there before several times with a friend. The food (for 8), service, and atmosphere were great. We were all pleased and happy--and we were every one experienced Manhattan restaurant patrons. The food bill per person was $48 including service--we rounded it to $50. The drinks bill is more complicated and as a party situation not really relevant. To be honest, since it was my birthday, I didnt pay close attention.

Very good! Great neighborhood spot that just opened up. Food is excellent! Service is good. Following this up as it continues to be wonderful. This is a lovely spot for dinner with friends, a date, celebration, and for a casual meal. We eat here often as its in the neighborhood and we enjoy the service, ambiance, and the wait staff are excellent. The food is always delicious. We ordered the chicken mattone, sea bass and lasagna earlier this week and it was delicious.

Went there for my birthday and my wife and daughter and I all loved it. Had a great waiter. The seating outside was perfect. Hardly any cars went by and I was certainly warm enough maybe due to the company or the supplied seat cushion that had a light on it so maybe it was heated. Well be back!

Review №32

Lunch was delicious but the service was subpar, probably because of there being only one waiter for the lunch hour. Bread wasnt brought or replenished until asked for, neither was drinks and I overheard the table next to us asking when starters were going to arrive. I know the restaurant industry is struggling and I have no ideas on how to fix this, but wanted people to know that there may be some issues. Going to another restaurant likely wont result in much better service because theyre all understaffed. So, go here if you want delicious food and dont mind subpar service.

All but one of the five of us very much enjoyed our food. The house made papardelle was a little thick and the Bolognese sauce not as tasty as were used to, but the creme brulee and pastry horn with fresh fruit and cream more than made up for it. So did the tubbetoni with swordfish and eggplant pistachio pesto!

I love their brunch menu more than their dinner. There brunch is simple but more interesting than your basic bacon and eggs plate. Ive dinner theres in the evening once and was not as impressed.

I had the grilled octopus, shrimp, and calamari. It was excellent! I had the crime brûlée for a desert and lemonade to drink. It was all fantastic. I paid $63 dollars for it. It’s New York, so that’s the price range you’re in for good food. It goes up from here. I highly recommend this place! They had some ravioli with mushroom sauce that I really wanted to try but I was stuffed already.

Great place, cant wait to return. The menu is very creative, high quality Italian inspired and not the mass produced cuisine you get in the Broadway area. The stuffed chicken was tasty, the off menu salmon perfect, and they gave plenty of shrimp in the seafood pasta. We are glad we overlooked the empty dining room because the food and Sergios service were excellent. A culinary gem on 9th Avenue.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tartina. We stopped by with friends before seeing a play and were delighted by every dish. Collectively we ordered the calamari and shrimp fritti, oysters, panariello, and arancino. All of the appetizers were great and packed with flavor. For our entrees we ordered the cacio e pepe, Bolognese, gnocchi massaia, vitello alla costiera. They were all delicious and filling, and I think my favorite had to be the gnocchi and the vitello. The gnocchi were the most wonderfully delicate pillows of flavor I have ever had and the sauce was to die for. The dish was so good that it made me realize Id never had truly good gnocchi until last night. The vitello was tender and juicey and I sighed with happiness after each bite. For dessert we ordered the panna cotta, profiterole, fragola, and tiramisu. Once again all dishes were wonderful, but my favorite was the tiramisu closely followed by the panna cotta. The sponge of the tiramisu was light and fluffy and all the flavors were perfectly balanced, it was truly a joy to eat. On top of all the delicious food the service was wonderful. We were waited on by Victor and he was lovely and provided the best service. Everyone on staff was kind and attentive and made the whole experience not only one to remember, but one to cherish. I look forward to going again.

I never managed to eat here so I can’t review the food. I still wanted to leave a review because of the exceptionally rude way we were treated here twice. Both times we waited a long time at the entrance while being ignored. The last time we went up to the bartender to ask whether there was a table available and he waived us away with his hand yelling at us to wait. We should have known better and not come back after the first time. It is a shame because the place looks really cute and the menu appetizing.

Tartina rocks! We’ve been going since it opened. Tonight I had an amazing risotto with smoked mozzarella, almonds and zucchini. Such wonderful flavors and textures. The branzino in salt was amazing! Their pastas are all fresh and delicious. My personal favorite is the spaghetti nerano. Their list of specials is almost as long as the regular menu. The food and ambiance is upscale but the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Tartina!

In the spot where Columbia Cottage used to be. Hated to see that go, as I hated to see The Green Tree go before that. But Tartina is more than a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The food is fantastic, the service just as great, and the ambience is kind and relaxed in a muted, soothing decor. The owner recently told me that this was a labor of love for her and her husband (who does the cooking). It clearly shows.

Wonderful Italian food & excellent service at this lovely restaurant on a quiet, tree-lined, almost European-feeling corner of 111th St & Amsterdam Ave near St. John the Divine & their gardens. Their pastas are divine, with their ravioli ai funghi being a particular personal favorite, and side orders of spinach, escarole and other veggies are prepared beautifully. Interestingly, their burgers are fabulous as well! Co-vid safe, handsome indoor & outdoor set ups w/ individual seat warming cushions. Worth a visit..you will be a regular in no time!

We all enjoyed our meals - a filet mignon special, a pizzacotti with branzino stuffed pasta, and a salmon filet. Everything was very good and service was impeccable.

The one thing that is too bad on a nice summer evening is that they do not have outdoor tables.

I didnt visit this restaurant. I was actually sitting in the Hungarian Pastry Shop next door, and my cell phone seems to have registered that I was in Tartina, which I wasnt. But for some reason my phone didnt record the fact I was in the Hungarian Pastry Shop. Since I enjoyed being in the Pastry Shop quite a bit, and Tortina looks rather pretty from the outside, Im giving it five stars. Mainly because Im such a nice guy. Maybe the next time Im on the block Ill have dinner at that restaurant and see if it actually deserves the five stars. Until then, consider my rating provisional. And by all means drop by the Hungarian Pastry Shop when you get a chance.

I was very excited to go to a restaurant after 4 months of lockdown. However, this restaurant was not prepared as can be seen by the ill mannered servers that they have now. I went to the bathroom twice and the second time the server made an inappropriate joke about me with his buddies loud enough for me and my friend to hear. When confronted, he used the word “off-joke”. Please decide for yourself if wine and some italian food is worth being insulted publicly.

Review №64

Most importantly the food was good! The service could be a bit improved imo. We went during brunch time, but when we ordered something from the brunch menu he said we can’t because it’s only available certain days, in a way that was implying that we should’ve known that despite it not saying anywhere. No problem, but he could’ve just said so when telling us to scan the QR code, that it’s not available today. So we had to find something else and wait for him to come back. Also paying the check took a while, cause we couldn’t get his attention. The restaurant was less than half full, so kinda surprising.

Tartina is not an Italian-American restaurant that purchases red sauce in plastic 55-gallon drums. Chef Federico and Maria are real Italians and Chef Federico was trained in Italy. I would call their cuisine contemporary Italian. Some dishes I have enjoyed on multiple visits in the past year and which I would recommend include gnocchi fave e guanciale, spaghetti carbonara, anelli di crespelle, arancino and lava stone steak. Maria imported the lava stones from Italy. Maria has compiled an excellent, reasonably priced all-Italian wine list. If still available, the 2015 Torrevento primitivo from Puglia is terrific with the lava stone steak. The bar makes very good Negroni and excellent Manhattans.

Pleasantly surprised with the dining experience.

My partners dish was a little lack-luster, and Im not sure this would be the top of my list to try again, but its proximity to Columbia is hard to beat.

Food is consistent, service has been amazing and its always a great experience! I was able to order takeout even during the height pandemic and Tartina has truly been my go to! I even hired them to cater for local hospitals in the NYC area and the hospital appreciated the meals and attention.My colleagues and I have been meeting weekly to maintain normalcy and Tartina on a Friday afternoon lunch is always a good idea. You can tell the owners and employees really care about service and customer service. This is a family owned restaurant and I love supporting them. Highly recommend!

Brunch was amazing! Went a while ago and still thinking about it. Have to go back soon and more often. Had the ravioli and it was so good, the fresh ingredients make a world of difference. And the pancakes for brunch... people who dont even like pancakes couldnt get enough of these! Top it off with mimosas and this is a wonderful, solid, delicious meal!

Review №138

No paper menus only b.s. QR codes like you’re at a fast food joint. The parmigiana sorrentina was a soggy breadcrumb mush. Super thin slices of eggplant and very few of them, super thick breading. Pasta was undercooked. Risotto rice was also starchy and undercooked.

Review №139

Like someone else mentioned, theres no leadership in this restaurant. All tables were empty at 1:30 pm on a Wednesday and they still refused to serve me because I was going to order a cappuccino and a dessert. Nowhere did it say they had a minimum for consumption. They lost a potential client who would have gone there with friends all the time (since my sons school is nearby and I go to the area daily). Thankfully, an excellent Italian restaurant, V&T, is around the block and they got my business.

Excellent brunch options with generous portions and high quality foods though the poached eggs were a little overdone. Presentation was beautiful and the meal was made very enjoyable by the blues trio entertaining the open front restaurants audience. The bartender was kind and attentive throughout.A relaxing and suave atmosphere promising and delivering good food. I would highly recommend.

The restaurant was super cute and had very nice fairy lights as outdoor seating decor. Outdoor seating was actually outdoots so good for them. To be honest the food wasnt very memorable, but the price was decent for the portion. I definitely enjoyed the ambience more than the food itself. The server was kind of rude and rushing us, so thats what pushed it down a star, otherwise a decent place to check out in Morningside Heights, but I probably wouldnt go back again.

Will never go back. Came for Sunday lunch at an Italian restaurant. They only have brunch menu will not let order from there regular menu. I cant eat egg so most of the menu was not for me. Ordered the burger well done. Some how it was forgotten everyone else got there food. Asked where the burger was. Five minutes later they came back with it. It was not fully cooked let alone well done.Took it back by the time it came back every had finished eating. Just told them to forget it. It was too late we had to go. They refused to take it off the bill. Unfortunately we were paying with a card so got into a argument with them. If we were paying with cash we would have deducted it and left. Very unprofessional staff with no leadership.Looking forward to going to what ever opens in its place.

**BEWARE** My credit card was not returned to us with our receipt to sign and there was no attempt by the waiter to return it to us.We paid as we finished dinner and were there for 10-15 mins more finishing our drinks. The waiter was happy to visit our table to grab the signed receipt while we were still sitting there, but at no point during this was any attempt made to return my card. I didnt notice until we were already on the bus heading home at which point, we ran back to the restaurant to retrieve the card. When we got back (~5-10 mins later), we searched all around the table and found nothing. Our waiter finally comes out from the kitchen and almost seemed surprised that we came back. He was very slow to retrieve it and seemed to shuffle around a lot of things in the cash register (where my card had somehow ended up). Needless to say, Ive already started the miserable process of replacing the card as I do not trust these people.As to the rest of the dining experience, in a single word, lackluster. The portions were tiny, the food lacked flavor, and the service was about as present as my card after dinner. Im extremely disappointed that we stumbled across this place for a date night and felt I needed to apologize to my fiancé for how terrible it was.

Review №164

The tomatoes in the caprese salad tasted fresh and flavorful, which is a challenge for this time of year. The Lingua di Passero had a subtle but refreshing lemon flavor, and the shrimp and clams were cooked well. The sirloin for two was tasty and had a fun (and attention grabbing) presentation on the hot lava stone.Only problems I had were that the portions were just *slightly* small for the price. And if you order the lava stone steak, be quick to remove the steak from the stone once is reaches your preferred temperature - otherwise it’ll keep cooking on the stone.

Review №165

We were under the impression that the service here is in proportion to the amount of food or drinks that you order.After two rounds of inquiries of asking if we want to add more food or drinks, we were basically left alone without any service. We told the servers that we don’t feel like drinks and we are ok with what we ordered. We waited 20min for our entree and it turned out we waited for nothing since it was not even in the system/not even cooked. There’s no apology but instead we were asked again if we want to add another entree.The other table with customers ordered a lot of drinks/shots were served with constant attention and friendliness.My husband and I are very disappointed with the service. Just to note the busboy is very professional and nice.

Went on a Friday night. The ambiance was nice and it was easy to have a conversation. The wine was excellent but the food was mediocre to downright bad for the price they were asking. We ordered the seafood risotto special and the gnocchi with guanciale. The seafood was significantly overcooked and the risotto lacked the creaminess that is supposed to be one of the dishes defining characteristics. The gnocchi were bland and the guanciale was a soggy mess after soaking in the almost tasteless sauce.

Just go to V&T next door!Let me start off by saying Ive never written a bad review. Ever. This is possibly the worst Italian restaurant I have ever been too.My friends and I sat at the bar and I ordered a Pinot noir, which they did not have. Not being picky as I am also a bartender and know the struggle, I asked for something similar. Thinking that I wouldnt know the difference, he gave me a very dry Cabernet of sorts and tried to tell me I was wrong when questioning it.Later, I ordered the stuffed chicken and the middle came out cold. My friends ordered the gnocchi and the pasta with seafood and both were bland at best and almost rubbery.It was disheartening to pay that much and have such bad food for the one girls night out weve had in a while. Please just go elsewhere. Im writing this review 2 weeks later and was still upset by the poor quality of the food and service.

Weve come here twice in three days. The food is excellent, the prices are reasonable and definitely an incentive to come back. The wine list is eclectic and innovative, with excellent taste. We had Alexey helping us and he recommended the best, little-known wines from southern Italy. We had the mushroom ravioli and spaghettini and two arancini. Perfect dinner, excellent service. A neighborhood gem. Thanks Alexey!

Food was not particularly flavorful. Risotto seafood was a 2 on 5, two dishes tortellini dish too cheesy with no delicacy, and pasta was rather chewy ok on the vegan pomodoro bowtie, and roasted potatoes was extremely mmeh!! Server, main person on at 2pm on a Tues missed the beer order until it was too late to remind him, had a lot of trouble figuring out/ offering vegan options. Overall, nothing to write home about! Not value for their prices either.

We had a fabulous experience from the moment we walked in and were warmly greeted by our outstanding and knowledgeable waiter, Alexey. On his recommendation we started with the bruschetta appetizer which paired well with a bottle of top notch Sicilian wine. As our entree we had the perfectly prepared dorado . A warm chocolate dessert and great cappuccino were a perfect ending to one of the best meals we have had in NYC. We will definitely return on our next visit.
