Great vibes, cozy atmosphere and phenomenal Italian food.
Had a pesto pasta. Sublime!
The staff, the bar, the food!
Gutes Restaurant mit einigen Abstrichen. Das Restaurant wird vom Michelin-Führer empfohlen (kein Stern). Dies kann ich nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Die Calamari friti und die hausgemachten Papardelle mit Ochsenschwanzragout waren geschmacklich gut, aber nicht herausragend. Dem Ragout fehlte etwas die Tiefe. In Deutschland wäre keine Michelin Empfehlung ausgesprochen worden. Das Restaurant ist sehr schlecht beleuchtet und unheimlich laut, sodass man sich sogar zu zweit schlecht unterhalten kann. Wir wurden zum Tisch geführt und noch in der Jacke in Stehen wurde man gefragt, welches Wasser man trinken will. Alles viel zu hektisch. Wir würden das Restaurant nochmal besuchen.
Fantastic Italian restaurant in NY, a must if you like Italian food
Best Italian food on NY, at least for me
Service impeccable, mais les plats ne sont pas du tout dignes des saveurs italiennes telles qu’on les connaît en Europe. Passez votre chemin si vous recherchez de la vraie cuisine italienne
Tonight I was at Ulivo restaurant with a friend to celebrate my birthday’s dinner. As I walked in I got welcomed by Enza, the manager and I was gently asked if I wanted to get a drink at the bar before getting seated. Drinks at the bar were top notch. After going to our table for dinner, we were greeted by Darja, our waitress. She went through the special and gave us some suggestion. After deciding the wine, the co-owner and chef Emanuel, from Sardinia, Italy, came to the table to greet us as well and asked if we had any food allergies. What can I tell you. From there, it only got better. Everything was an explosion of Italian flavors. The food was outstanding, we tried the meat and cheese board, freshly cut at the moment. Then homemade meatballs, eggplant parmigiana, fried calzone and homemade ravioli and cannelloni as a main courses. We also had some desserts and grappa to finish the dinner. It was too good to be true. I’ll definitely return anytime. Thank you Chef Emanuel for your hospitality and to bring the authentic Italian cuisine to New York. Grazie Ulivo.
