One of the Very Best Italian restos in NYC! Love their Gluten Free menu, great food and wine selections. The service is exceptional and Hassan the manager is very engaging. The Lemon Tart is Divinely-Heaven-sent, being gluten-free, dairy free, sugar-free and hands down the best dessert in NYC! Can't wait to go back!!!
Top of the line from start to finish!!! Authentic Italian food and outstanding service!!
The food was incredible, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was so friendly and inviting. I can't wait to go back!!! 😊
We stumbled upon this wonderful place and so glad we did.. Service was amazing.. The asparagus ravioli was hands down the best meal I ate while I was visiting... Will def be back on the next trip. Delish!
Really good food, impeccable service & large wine selection
A+ at every level! Fabulous food, atmosphere, service and location. Cannot wait to return to this little gem in the city!!

Great place and delicious food. Very patient staff considering we were with a one year old!
Awesome! Ottima location nel cuore di New York. Cibo buonissimo e atmosfera di casa
This is my favorite place in the world. It's always perfection every time. Denis is amazing. Go. Eat. Repeat.
Amazing food, outstanding service, the kind of place you can hardly find anymore 🥂
Great place - a little expensive but it is good. Tables are small so better not to order too many plates at the same time.
Plates are good, tasty, delicious and worth them !
Absolutely delicious food! The atmosphere is chic, sexy, always happening with a buzz in the air. They always make room for you! Chef Denis is an artist and his team delivers white glove service. The best! My must go every time I visit Manhattan.
If I could give Bar Italia 6 stars on Google reviews, I would because this place is fantastic. From the service to the quality and taste of everything we tried, Bar Italia knocked it out of the park. Starting with the service, the entire staff was excellent - they offered to check our bags/coats when we arrived and were extremely friend and attentive throughout the evening without being overbearing, as an added bonus/nice touch, the owner/chef was also out interacting with guests on a few occasions. The food was exceptional. We tried several things - burrata caprese, a red wine/tomato sausage rigatoni, veal milanese, and the branzino, finished off with the key lime pie and mixed ice cream. Everything was excellent but I think my favorites were the pasta dish and the branzino. The ice cream is also made in-house and was so delicious.
Bar Italia isn’t cheap but it is absolutely quality in every aspect and you get what you pay for here. Can’t wait to come back!
Cozy yet elegant. Wonderful service and amazing food, including great seasonal specials. If it's summer and the watermelon salad is available, don't miss it!
Husband and I picked this spot after spending time in the park as a date night. Ordered a bottle of wine and a couple appetizers. The owner talked with us and he was a delight. The chef brought us the most delicous key lime cake I've ever had. The atmosphere was wonderful, food excellent, and inviting. Would dine again any day! It was Sunday around 4pm so it was slower, we were the only ones in restaurants for most of the time.
Came here for a quick afternoon bite after a stroll in the park, sat outside. We asked our server to split the salad and pasta as we were not very hungry, and it was done with pleasure (some places don't hide the disappointment when you don't order a whole meal). Food came out very tasty, and flavorful. Overall the service was exceptional and we also were greeted by the manager who was checking with every table if everything was alright.
I haven't seen the decor and didn't go inside the restaurant, but the outdoors were very well maintained. The prices are a bit high in my opinion, but other than that everything else was great!
Wow what a place to enjoy a great meal. Overall the experience was great from the food to the service. We had lentil soup, pasta Bolognese, pasta derade, chicken of the day and the white truffle pasta as it was in season. All of the food was delicious. The drinks were fantastic and the service was outstanding from the waiter to the managers, to the chef. Best service I've had in awhile it was really on point. Someone dropped a piece of silverware and 3-4 staff heard it and looked, and then they scooped it up within seconds they are really on top of the service. We never felt rushed even though they were packed, we felt very welcome.
A boutique restaurant with awesome authentic Italian food made from fresh ingredients and was well priced. The service was impeccable and our host Hassan was friendly and shared some good stories. Definitely will be returning to this gem of a restaurant
A NYC VVIP asked me to lunch and picked this spot. Excellent Italian of the highest quality. Great service and lots of room in the outdoor kiosk.
And check out the maître d’ and his outfit, matching down to the laces!
The service was exceptional. With dividers between tables, it felt secure and safe giving the circumstances! The food was also amazing. I got Spaghetti Carbonara which was just the right portion and tasted great! My husband got the Penne Bolognese which he said needed a bit more flavor but it was okay, for the most part.
Lovely brunch/lunch spot! The food is delicious and the service is great
I find that the best test you can give a restaurant to see if it is good or not, is to try their calamari (if it's on their menu). If they can execute that well, you are guaranteed to have the rest of your meal be prepared well too. Needless to say, Bar Italia passed with flying colors. Their staff was amazing too. Definitely recommend it if you are in the area.
Nice spot for some Italian. The veal rigatoni was good with complementary bread and olive oil. Lots of outdoor seating options. About $30 for a pasta dish. Friendly service and was able to get a table without a reservation around 2pm on a Sunday which was pretty good.
Good service and food quality. A great pick if you’re near the park and need a last minute dinner that isn’t too casual. Gifted us free risotto.
I’m in love with bar Italia! Food and service are 100% the best! Chef Dennis is incredible! Thank you so much! You are my best Italian restaurant in the area!
Very good food and friendly staff. Ufn small tables but absolutely to recommend. Will come again…
