I went there with my family during the holidays and had a blast. The wait staff was very friendly and warm. The place was lit just right. And the never-ending pasta was delicious! I think it changes nightly or so but among the three pastas was a pumpkin ravioli that was perfectly delicious. To top it off, Lidia herself was there and taking pictures with everyone, welcoming everyone, going from table-to-table to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. This is definitely the place to go if you're in the theatre district (where I'm wary of all restaurants)!

Had a great overall experience. We will be back any time to try other items in the menu. Good value, quality.

I showed up in classic date gear; she had underdressed to the point of embarrasment. But despite my constant haranguing her, we both felt comfortable at Becco. The ambience was a bit noisy, but the decor and lighting were romantic. Besides, whispering angrily is more convenient when people at other tables are laughing. We ordered the pasta special and were deftly rewarded. The roasted vegetables seemed to "pop" with freshness; not at all boring as I had thought. The seafood accompaniment swam in my mouth. The 3 pastas of the day were equally as surprising and inventive. Never again will I poo-poo a pumpkin-based seasonal pasta...as long as its from Becco. I'm a bit demanding, and after a decade of restaurant experience, a bit of a cynic. But I cannot wait to go back to Becco. You'll recognize me as the bearded curmudgeon making my dinner date miserable, while enjoying the freshness and creativity of the chef.

My husband and I went to Becco last night on the recommendation of many friends and we loved it! The food was fantastic and we had a lovely dining experience. Instead of having the endless pasta, which seemed a little too glutonous, we ordered the swordfish and angus steaks. The portions were huge, the food was simple and flavorful, and the wine selections were great. The only slight flaw was that the place was so busy that the waiter couldn't get to us quite as often as we would have liked. Expect to spend about $100 a couple, but walk away thoroughly full and satisfied.
