    Have not been in a while. Glad we decided to visit again with out of town friends. The food was delicious. Everything in the pasta trio was exceptional and our friends said the liver was the best they ever had. Our server Dylan was outstanding. The perfect blend of charm and professionalism. Nice to see Becco is still the go to choice for any occasion.

    We had the mussels in white wine sauce. I wasn't crazy about all the onions and bread in the sauce. My husband had the linguine with clams. It was tasty but clams were very small. We loved the caesar salad and the bread with hummus and olive oil. Very tasty.

    In the past, I have not been able to resist ordering the "Pasta Symphony." This time, I took advantage of the mid-course pasta symphony and, of course, each was delicious. The prosciutto with melon and cheese also is a staple for us and it, too, was delicious. Entrees of short ribs and whole roasted branzino also were outstanding. Dining at Becco is a great reason to visit NYC.

    It’s quite disappointing that there are not pasta dishes on the menu yet it’s an Italian restaurant. And my meal was less than mediocre. Not really any gluten free options which is disappointing as well.
