Almost before you take your seat, you're besieged by an assortment of antipasti that changes according to the season and the whim of the chef. The Food Every dinner includes the all-you-can-eat antipasto and a pasta selection that whizzes around the dining room in well-worn saute pans. Servers pile your plate with papardelle in veal ragu, linguine with black olive paste, penne, rigatoni, gnocchi, ravioli--every night the choice is different. The timid stop there, but if you're still hungry, a small supplemental charge earns you a generous entree. Rated 7.0 out of 10 by Citysearch.

Good Pick 4 By Jesse W. \| Insider Expert \| Rank: 7,770 Becco If your not familiar with the Theater district and are looking for a spectacular meal and deal, you can not lose with choosing Becco's. Superb service food, wine you cant lose. A little tight, but acceptable-especially for the price point. Posted 11/21/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The pre-fixe pasta special always offers an unlimited selection of three unique pastas and sauces. The Osso Bucco is also delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive and reasonably priced. Seating is tight, reservations are a must, and staff is quick, as they know they need to get you to your Broadway show on time! Posted 10/26/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

It does not hurt that its location is convenient to most Broadway theaters. The food is simple and full of flavor, and excellent prices.

My Date and I had the Time of out lives. the Food was excellent! The Wine the server selected for us was great and the deserts were out of this world. we were there from 8:30 till they closed and they were great to us the entire time! I would recommend Becco to anyone looking for excellent Food Pros: Service, Service, Service Cons: Nothing. Posted 06/11/09 go for the trio! By ktkoenig excellent choice of dishes! charming atmospere and great service. highly recommend their daily special of three dishes and a salad. bread basket is worth a sample too. excellent choice if you are hungry and ready from a break in the city! Try and get there before 4:00 on a Saturday and you can still get the lunch deal. Pros: can't miss it! Posted 06/02/09 Rustic Italian At Its Best By mm550366 I've had many meals at this charming Italian gem in the theater distric and they've all been wonderful. The waiters create an almost show-like atmosphere with their never ending pans of pasta floating through the dining room like italian angels making sure that your plate is never empty the vegetable plate is great fileld with mushrooms, and garlic mashed potatoes this is a great place to go with a crowd and before you leave i must insiste that you have a glass of Moscato D'Asti the flavored liquer has the perfect about of dry bubbly texture with the added sweetness of pear Posted 05/05/09 Good food but horrible experience By rtrim1 My family took me there to celebrate my birthday and while our waiter was pleasant and did a wonderful job serving, the lack of customer service and poor management was astounding. An accident happened at our table by the staff and instead of coming over to help, the manager snickered in the background and refused to help. When we called him over to talk about the situation he was extremely rude and told us that it's against policy to provide any kind of compensation to customers. My mother had to attend a play that night with a destroyed outfit. We tried to reason with the manager and he responded by cursing and creating a scene in the restaurant. Having lived in NY my entire life and worked in the service industry, I was appalled by their lack of service and horrible attitudes. We were told that the only way we would be compensated would be if we came back and spent money on another dinner and maybe we would get free desserts. I would never recommened this restaurant. There are many other delicious Italian restaurants in NYC. Pros: they do italian right Cons: lousy management Posted 04/08/09 Great Italian Food By anjelik32 I've been to Becco a few times I can't say anything bad about the place. Every visit has been very pleasant, with great food and wine. Whenever anyone asks me where to go for Italian food in the Theater District I always recommend Becco! Posted 03/29/09
