The Scene
Pescatore is really two restaurants sharing a common menu and kitchen. The first has a more formal feel with tablecloths, gilded mirrors and red velvet banquettes. At its counterpart one door uptown, a downtown decor of brick walls, wooden tables and sexy amber lighting attracts a younger set.
 
The Food
The Italian menu has almost-limitless variations on staple dishes, creating an offering that rivals a Chinese restaurant in its vast number of choices. The most pleasing dishes are often the most simple, like the beef carpaccio with Parmesan, pizza bianca and toothsome osso buco. Whatever you order, be sure to come hungry, as doggy bags seem to be the norm. But do save room for homemade ricotta cheesecake or tiramisu, both of which are very compelling.

Key Points

  • Outdoor Seating
  • Private & Corporate Parties
  • Brunch, Lunch & Dinner

The Inside Scoop

  1. The Extras - Both sides of the restaurant have al fresco dining during the summer months.

Excellent choice for a special occassion! I had a surprise evening planned for my wife on our 15th wedding anniversary (a new ring). I called and spoke with Bret (Mgr) a few days before our arrival in New York. He was absolutely in tune with my surprise and what I was trying to accomplish! He was extremely helpful and told me that everyone would be ready! He was right! Our waiter Carlos had been made aware of the event and was discretly playing along. The surprise desert (ring) was a huge hit! Thanks Carlos and thanks to Charles (Mgr) and all of the staff! The food, service and the staff's knowledge of the surprise helped me to pull off a perfect evening and a perfect memory! Thanks Pescatore!! I'll be back.

Pros: very well priced, cooked to request, big & fresh portions
