Petrarca Cucina e Vino

This is one of my favorite restaurants to dine at in NY! I have had so many memorable experiences here and the staff is lovely. The food is truly authentic and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking out a great authentic Italian meal and a cozy atmosphere.Ps.. the cheesecake is out of this world 😍

Exactly what we were hoping for in a NYC Italian restaurant. We had pizza AND pasta, and both were fantastic. The service was great, the food seemed authentic (I’m far too unsophisticated to know for sure!) and tasted amazing. The environment was classy and relaxing. Recommended and would visit again.

We found ourselves in NYC on New Year’s Eve with an early dinner plan that fell through. The host at Petrarca was so kind to fit us into a very stacked reservation schedule for the night (though next time we return we will make a reservation). We started with delicious oysters to celebrate the night and each ordered a pasta dish. All were incredible and on our go-to list now for trips to NYC.

OMG. This is the gem of all gems. This now tops my list as the greatest homemade pasta in NY. This is not your usual mediocre overpriced Tribeca spot. This is outstanding and I’m telling everyone!Get the homemade bolognese pasta and/or the lasagna and you’ll taste flavors you’ve never tasted outside of Italy. Generous outdoor seating on a warm night has you feeling like you’re in Florence. Cannot wait to come back for their desserts and more of their homemade pastas and fluffy bread.5 stars!!!!!

I enjoyed a late afternoon weekday lunch and appreciated the welcoming host and servers. Caesar with grilled shrimp was good - nicely charred but tender shrimp and a well balanced dressing - croutons were a bit sad, hard small squares of bread and the romaine was fresh but could have been less cut up. They should make croutons from the house bread which is fantastic and a great accompaniment to their excellent minestrone - along with a glass of the dolcetto, a good beginning to the Fall season. Would try again to sample pastas and specials.

The first time we came here was over 10 years ago and we had such a bad experience, we figured it’s been long enough so let’s give it another shot. Outside of the grumpy old man who greets you at the entrance, who I think is the same one that was there 10 years ago, the service was very pleasant and friendly. The bread is absolutely delicious and the olive oil is good. That’s about it. The Caesar salad is drenched in oil, not even sure what that was. The pizza tasted like microwavable pizza with a fried crust. The Brodo with tortellini was average, perfectly OK and definitely needed the extra Parmesan and pepper added to it. The orecchiette was good, but tasted more like mac & cheese. The Bronzino was fine, unfortunately they do not debone the fish so that was a fun challenge. The wine was perfectly fine as well. It was a very average and underwhelming experience. The tables are right next to each other so you have about 6 inches of space between you and the person at the next table, which unfortunately is standard for some NYC restaurants. I certainly will not go back and will not recommend this restaurant. It wasn’t a horrible experience. It was just very average. and I believe it is a popular place because it is relatively inexpensive compared to other NYC restaurants. But you get what you pay for.

This is a great option for Italian in Tribeca! This was a perfect option for one for bar seating. The staff was attentive and made great recommendations. That lasagna was such cozy and comforting pasta! 🍝

Solid date night with the homies. 8 of us made reservations, brought wine (our friend is a wine rep and set it up) and had delicious food. Only one of us were disappointed in our meal.I got one of the specials - the pappardelle with duck Ragu. It was a nice helping. Not a giant plate and not a skimpy one. Perfect amount. It was good, but didnt knock my socks off. My buddy got the same and was amazed.Wife got the butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter sauce. She enjoyed her meal and my bite of her food was on point.The rest of the squad got the special ricotta gnocchi with truffle oil. My bite of that was exquisite. Light and delicious. Cannelloni (stuffed with Ricotta and spinach) looked good. The carbonara was exactly what it should have been. Creamy, bacony and great.The letdown was the spaghetti and turkey meatballs. My buddy had maybe 3 bites. I took some to see what all the hate was about and agreed that the flavor of the sauce was bland n disappointing. The meatballs were good but needed more spice. Every pasta dish couldve been a tad more Al dente, but thats just my Been to Italy boujee side talkin.All in all, a great experience. The wine was flowing. The conversations were going. And the service was top notch. Shout out to Alfonso, who was the best waiter we couldve asked for.

This is an amazing Italian restaurant. It is family run by an Italian chef that has been in the business more than 30 years. Everything was just as authentic as you can hope for. The bread had a perfect crust on the outside and a soft inside, the lasagna was NOT drowning in sauce but had a perfect balance of baciamella sauce and meat, and the tiramisu was just simply incredible. If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience you cannot go wrong!

Nice restaurant. Great atmosphere. The servers were very attentive. We were a group of 4 having dinner after a Broadway show. Three of us chose from the special. A pasta dish with capers, tomato sauce and fresh tuna. Sorry, cant remember the name but it was very delicious. Ordered a pizza as an appetizer. Very good also.

Food is delicious! You have to try their coffee is amazing! Workers are really nice, which my boyfriend and I loved!

Love it here; we had late Saturday lunch, pasta (pumpkin ravioli + orecchiette) and tiramisu … comfortable space, great food, friendly service.

Overall I felt like this place was kind of meh. I would describe it as average at best. I don’t mind paying premium prices for a high quality experience and food but I felt let down after spending $150 for a cheeseburger, salmon and veggie meal and a glass of wine (no appetizer and no dessert). I was seated right in front of the bathroom and my waiter just disappeared after taking our order. We sat the entire meal with the empty bread basket and plates that were finished just sitting there. If you are looking for a place that matches the high end prices this is not the place.

Very uncomfortable service, expensive, struggling to enjoy my meal , atmosphere was nothing special… unfortunately didn’t worth it

My husband and I returned to this restaurant hoping for a better experience, but unfortunately, we were disappointed once again. The pizza took too long to arrive and when it did, it was dry and difficult to eat. The service was average, but what surprised us the most was finding a 20% gratuity already included on the check, even though we were only a party of two. When questioned, the server mentioned that its their policy. Overall, our visit left us unsatisfied and we hope the restaurant addresses these issues for future customers.

I took 2 clients to Petrarca for lunch today and it was my first time eating there.We got:•ravioli alla zucca•gnocchi•orecchiette con salsiccieEverything was delicious and the bead was on point. Pasta plates start from 21$.Wine wasnt bad either.

Beautiful open space, the amarone blend was remarkable. And the courses also as such

Big fan of the bolognese and tiramisu. Great service and nice environment to dine in.

I have never gone out of my way to write a review but this was a really really disappointing experience. Will also note there was nothing wrong with the experience-- Service and ambience were warm and welcoming.The main issue was that the quality of ingredients used were honestly so poor and at such a high price inexcusable! The fennel was rubbery and flavorless, and overall the pizza and eggplant that we ordered were just really really mediocre. I wouldnt have gone out of my way to write a review on here if werent so expensive.Its such a shame we used to really love going to this place....

Great service, good food, good wine, I had the rissoto with scallops, and a glass of pinot grissio.

I can heartily recommend this place! The staff were really nice and what look like simple meals in the menu turned out to be very tasty and the portions were big. Given the NYC standards the prices were reasonable. Good value for money for food that will not disappoint you!

Always wanted to stop by and check out the place. We had some fried calamari and kind of Burrata salad which was fresh and tasty. For the main dish we ordered seafood pasta and ravioli and both of them were amazing! Atmosphere and service is great as well. Price is little overpriced as like in every restaurant in NYC but good thing is that you will get quality food

You can’t get more family than this placeAuthentic cuisineMy favorites are the lasagna, chicken Parm or Marsala, and of course, their spaghetti and meatballs will transcend you. #yourewelcome

Nice folks serving terrific classic Italian dishes, lots of wines with great pours, sit inside or out. My eggplant mezzaluna app was huge and fine. The cioppino was gorgeous. 🥂

I am staying near by the restaurant and after walking past it several times on my way to work, I thought I must try it! My experience started off wonderfully...My friend and I ate very well and the food was delicious. As many have said below - fresh, authentic Italian, portions are great and atmosphere is warming. The house wine is delicious and just the right amount for two small glasses. After wonderful service from a young man, I was shocked when I came home and checked my bank account. I had included a tip in the full amount I asked to be charged on my card, and specifically wrote included on the final receipt. The transaction was processed as such, however it was then corrected (refunded/cancelled) and re-charged for $10 more than what I noted. I will try to contact the owner to rectify this as I find it extremely dishonest and rather disappointing after what I thought was a great experience at the restaurant. Especially because I was hoping to go back for another evening... I would suggest to make sure youre next to the person processing the transaction.

Ive had dinner there several times with my sister. Its cozy warm setting with home made pasta, excellent service staff and food. The owner is pleasant and talks with patrons to get feedback. Definitely A GO TO place for fine Italian dining.

Comfortable outdoor lunch seating and service. Friendly and attentive service. Carpaccio was very nice and would order again. Artichoke and zucchini was a bit mushy but tasty. Mushroom soup good but chicken pillard was a tough texture. Excellent fresh bread!

I really enjoyed their butternut squash ravioli, and their tiramisu! The waiters that helped us were very kind and provided great service, I would definitely come back here again next time Im in the neighborhood.

My wife and I had a great meal here. They have a good selection of Italian wines from a variety of regions. I also liked that they had a lot of quarter bottles. Its a glass and a half so you can have different wines with your appetizers and dinner.I had the lasagna, which was delicious. The ricotta layer was just right - not thin and dried out or thick and messy. My wife had a sausage and broccoli orricette.Definitely recommended.

Was not a great experience. From the four of us, we ordered two spaghetti with turkey meatballs dishes, one black linguine with seafood dish, and a ravioli dish (this is the one the waiter messed up on). For one thing, the waiter misunderstood one of us while ordering and that person received the wrong dish. After that was resolved, another person in our group found a piece of metal in their seafood dish. When we finally got the waiter attention, they looked at it and took it back to the kitchen saying they will remake it. Now at this point we were kind of frustrated because this place has good reviews but only two out of four of us had our food. In the meantime of the remaking of the seafood dish, the spaghetti was alright but the meatballs were not even warm in my dish. Once the seafood dish was done and back to our table, this is where Im pretty sure they microwaved it and brought it back because the middle of the food was steaming hot and the shrimp became rubbery. Im not sure it was microwaved, but Im pretty sure. Overall I wont be coming back, it was over expensive for the service we received. Would not recommend.

Every dish our party got was fantastic. We were all sharing 4 pasta dishes since they were all so good. The bread was great as well - tasted like it was baked next to a campfire in the best way possible - really something special!The host was very friendly and welcoming! So happy we ended up at this special family-run restaurant!

Our table order the following:Pear and gorgonzola saladCalamariChicken MarsalaPasta and mushroomCauliflower soup... no heavy creamFettuccine bologneseFor dessert;Vanilla cognac GelatoRaspberry chocolate mousse cakeTIramisuEverything was delicious! The only disappointment was they were out of chocolate bread pudding. We will definitely return. Service was also great.

Went there last week with a colleague for lunch. A Venetian family owned restaurant. The food was very delicious, hitting all the right taste buds. Service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend!

The food is very good. High quality. I ordered the salad with gorgonzola cheese and pears. It was very refreshing. I ordered the sweet and sour salmon with cranberries. It arrived over greens. I should have ordered a different appetizer. Too many greens. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate bread pudding because it was a house specialty. It was interesting. The prices are expensive. Around $45 for lunch. The service was good. I would go back to this restaurant. The menu has a wide variety - everything from pizza, pasta, paninis, and entrees.

Looks great, impressive wine list. We ordered a simple glass of Tuscany wine and a glass of sparkling water outside on the terrace (Do you have that? Yes, we do). We got a small carafe (0.2l) and a full bottle of sparkling water. We subsequently received a check for 50 (fifty!!) USD, part of which was 20% tip which they had added themselves whilst also graciously offering the opportunity to add gratuity as if their first grab didnt count.I am aware that this all is not exclusively a Petrarca thing, and I know that Tribeca is not known for its cheap places, But I feel that sometimes one has to call this what it is: outrageously expensive and at best very confusing if not greedy billing practices.

Very nice place to get a dinner . Pizza is very good

Excellent service, but the food was pedestrian. Fish was overcooked, pasta was under-flavored. Very good wine by the glass selection. Moderate prices. Probably wont go back often.

Love this restaurant! It is a must go every time I visit NYC!! The food is delicious and hot - especially love the orecchiette and sausage dish!! The staff is wonderful—attentive and welcoming!! The ambiance is lovely! You will not be disappointed!!

Way overpriced. The pizza was almost tasteless and the dough was very bad (it seemed frozen dough). In general the food was not that good. Definitely not worth the price they charge for it. Many other Italian restaurants better than this one in the city.

Random visit to NYC for me. Being a small business owner- I wanted to support all smallBusinesses on this trip. My first night and first meal- this was perfect. I appreciate that one of the owners checked in - simply perfect for me. Thank you. I WILL be back

Petrarca is my favorite place for gnocchi and tiramisu in the city. I wish they would bring bruschetta back on their menu.

The food was delicious. Very unique and tasty dishes. Seating was available outdoors but we chose to sit in the beautiful interior as it was spacious enough for the five of us to be socially safe.

Fine Italian menu, enhanced with an excellent vino selection, available in quartinos (essentially 2 glasses). Outdoor dining means absorbing the Tribeca atmosphere.

Tried the gnocchi, chicken masala, lentil soup, and shrimp risotto...flavors just didnt pop. Way too expensive to be bland.

Delicious food. Such a shame that we only found this place on our last evening in NYC. Cosy atmosphere, reasonably priced for NYC, and if you are into your Jazz, then the Hotel across the road, has a downstairs Jazz club that normally opens its doors at 10 pm.

Way too over priced. Calamari was really bad. Pretty much dusted with almost no flour and thrown in the fryer. Ive had better calamari at sketchy bars. Not worth the $14. Pasta was ok but not worth the $19 bucks I shelled out for it. The only good thing was the bread, olive oil and service.

Wonderful traditional Italian food in a beautifully designed space and warm atmosphere. Very attentive staff and great wine selection. Very reasonably priced for the Tribeca area. Cant wait to return!

I have found the best lasagna i have every tasted. It reminded me of the greek pastichio. Great portion size, not to saucy, perfect balance and portion of meat and cream sauce (bechamel). Its like a boutique restaurant, wonderful place, definitely has the italian vibe to it on a modern scale. Love it!

Family owned and well run. Owner and his sons make it a point to make guests feel at home. They make the pasta in house and it’s incredible! Fettuccini Bolognese. Can’t wait to go back!

A disappointment!! I thought it was a good Italian cuisine but very little good and the prices are superlative for what was received. Terrible value for money.

Five stars! and the top five things to absolutely love about this place!1) Pasta - incredible - OBSESSED with the ORECCHIETTE with broccoli and sweet sausage.2) ANTIPASTI is AWESOME! especially the delicious delicate calamari but the Burrata ( I think it was a special) was the best I have ever had.3) Home made GREAT GELATO was actually made in house - a big plus for me was the fantastic fudge sauce.4) AMAZING ATMOSPHERE - love the big windows for people watching or small corner for quite dining.5) FANTASTIC FAMILY. The husband and wife team have been making Tribeca a tasty place to eat for years. Together they keep the balance of class and cozy with consistently good food and wine selections. We have been eating here since it opened and have never been disappointed. Also, I love that the owner always takes the time to stopped by our table to see how we were doing.

Food is delicious, the bread and olive oil Divine. Service is quick and attentive. I love going here, the price is affordable and its walking distance to my job. A win win for me.

Cozy space great wine and salad but disappointing pizza.

First impression was good - sangria is fantastic taste love it! menu has many good choices all so tasty !

Burned bread & worst ravioli I’ve ever had in my life: $36 dollars with taxes and a +20% tip, server said it was a 9/10, definitely not. Don’t waste your time and money here, I did and I deeply regret it.

This is a great spot. The food is always excellent. The wine list is varied and interesting. Service is first rate. I come here all the time!

Charming Italian place in Tribeca. Drank at the bar, but impressed by the aromas and presentations of a variety of good food that passed by us. Ivano, the host, was lovely and very engaging. Highly recommended.

Very nice Italian menu with lots of comfort food. The service was great and the ambiance is very calm and enjoyable. Overall its a great spot if you enjoy Italian cuisine.

Great vibe at this really nice neighborhood Italian. Had the baby chicken which was really tasty. House white also very decent, so all in all, very happy and would recommend this place.

Great food, service was ok.

Arrived around 9:45/10pm last night Initially had a wonderful time with 8 of my friends: food was delicous, service was wonderful, perfect-serene atmosphere. We spent around $250. Come 11:55pm or so one of the busboys physically abused 2 of my friends as he tried to close the blinds and take anothers water. The lights in the restaurant were raised and we started to end our chatter and preparing to leave. Moments later the same busboy proceeded to say you gotta go, you didnt spend enough money. This absolutely uncalled for, rude and demeaning comment left me/us shocked. we wondered why he didnt tell the other 2 tables to leave. why were WE being chased out and the others staying! We demanded/approached the manager who said he was the also owner and said he would take care of the busboy. the manager later apologized, but much later. what a despicable way to end a lovely friday night. :(

The aroma of simmering truffles greeted us immediately upon entering. Upscale Italian done right... service, decor, menu, all first class.

We had the Red and White sangria and both ordered a second round. Both were good but I also tasted the white and would order that next time. Started with the tuna tartare and burrata with the speck (special) which were great. I had the bolognese and would return for this dish alone. I use to be obsessed with Osteria Morinis bolognese (pre-pandemic) and this was right there or beyond. Service and ambience were nice too and prices were good. Highly recommend overall but would dabble in other appetizers next time (not that what we had was bad).

Delicious menu, specials are special!

Amazing food, very attentive staff. Lots of wine to choose from. Will definitely be coming back.

Love it. The salmon agrodolce is just delicious and there is a great selection of wine about which the staff is knowledgeable.

Came here and sat outside (when it was raining) and had a great experience. They had an outside tent to protect from the rain. The food was amazing. I had the butternut squash ravioli and an arugula salad. It was absolutely delicious.

Delicious meal and wonderful service. The butternut squash ravioli was amazing. A must try!

Tried to trick us (party of 3 germans) into giving 20% tip by bluntly adding it to the check because they thought were stupid tourists. When we asked about it they claimed they do this on every check, 30 secs later they came back with a legitimate check WITHOUT any tip added.. food was okay but this fraud attempt was absolutely intolerable!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Tribeca. Excellent mushroom soup. Salads and entrees are superb..

Always amazing food, service and atmosphere. Favorite Italian in NYC which is saying something.

The food was kind of subpar for the price, cost about $85 per person and the shrimp was over cooked and the lasagna was somewhat bland.The mussels and bread was good and the staff were friendly and fantastic.

Just finished and it was amazing! I had the red sangria and my wife had the white! Entrees were amazing and authentic! Deserts were out of this world. If you want local authentic Italian then eat here!! Amazing!!

Delicious Italian food with terrific service and fair portions in a great location. Would highly recommend the chicken parmigiana!

Went there for a business lunch on may 23. A colleague and I both got food poisoning. 48h later I’m still not feeling good. Would avoid it

The food here was impeccable. Very flavorful and made to perfection. Selection of wines was also very good. I have to say that service here was prompt and excellent despite the fact that they were quite busy today. I definitely would recommend getting there Chicken Parm.

Food is good, prices are ok (considering it is TriBeCa). Try the fresh sangrias.

Super friendly service. We asked for a Cacio e Pepe (not in the menu) and they made a great one for us. We also had some delicious Bolognese and a remarkable chicken marsala. Setting is simple but warm and we can hear ourselves talk. With a few negroni and some grappa, the night was definitely a success!

Best wine list in NYC curated wonderfully. Delish home made Italian specialities. Very knowledgeable staff.

Our neighborhood Italian spot. Friendly staff and outstanding food.

Service wasnt good. Wine was decent. They have some outdoor seating which can be nice on a nice day. Large dining room inside.

Special papardelle w/ duck ragu was amazing. Excellent service! Will definitely come again if in the area.

Amazing food! Great service. You won’t be disappointed, definitely stop by!

Superior Italian food. Lovely place, friendly service, but really, its the food. Highly recommended.

Went here for my birthday!! Best pesto Ive ever had, and the wine was great!

The calamari was perfect! Loved the carpaccio too. Finished up with lasagna.

Very nice place, the bread is delicious, great selection of wine and delicious food, great service. Highly recommended.

This place has the best Italian food ever. Also big wine pours. Order the bolenese!

Great service, food was good and great prices. A lot of wine options.

Although the prices for wine are appaling, the service is fantastic as is the very genuine Italian menu

The food was good, especially the bread. Calamari and tuna tartar were delicious. However, the most delicious antipasti was Bufala Mozazarella. On the other hand, pasta special, such as pesto, was cooked right, but it had too much sauce. Also, the owner, who is very old school, is not the friendliest person. I would give a 5 star if it was not for those 2 factors

The food was delicious, very nice resturan, waiters were kind and concernedThanks

Place looks nice, the waitress and the guy who brought our drinks were great, but the food took almost a half an hour to arrive (it was really good though). But the issue was the environment. The clientele are rather rude and the owner or manager (some old lady) just stood behind our table glaring at us. We felt very unwelcome.

Would not recommend. Ordered an individual pizza, it was pricey so I thought I would get something better than a dollar slice. It took about 40 minutes to come out and when it did, it was very dry and crispy.... I ate it because I was hungry but it was not good at all. Will never come back - not worth it!

Insanely expensive for 2 small pizzas and 3 beers.

Petrarca is my new favorite place! The entire staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door. Emilio and his dad are true professionals and were very accommodating to us. The food is delicious and the ambiance is just as great!!! I ordered the beef w/arugula small plate and seafood pasta. It was so good that I forgot to take pics lol. I will come here every time I’m in the city.

Quite possibly the best lasagna Ive ever had in my life. I ate most of it with my eyes closed. Incredible.

Excellent food, excellent service. Ill definitely go back!!!

Overpriced, mediocre food…too many good options in NYC to eat here

The best lasagna ive ever had, so light and flavorful. Butternut squash ravioli was also excellent. Very reasonably priced for the quality.

Love this place! So reliable, so consistent, so good!

Good food at reasonable prices. Nice wine list.

Friendly service and an amazing Lasagna. Would definitely try it again.

The food and customer service was INCREDIBLE! must visit

Wound up just having antipasti and wine for dinner with a friend, but enjoyed it enormously.

The food for such a high price was okay (there are delicious restaurants in Tribeca with lower prices); it was nothing special, just ok, as we thought. In 20-30 min after we left, we started feeling dizzy, and it got worse and worse. I dont want to go into detail on how I felt the whole day after. Dont recommend this place.

The food was very good and the staff were friendly.

Excellent authentic Italian food!

Poor service. Food was mediocre and lukewarm. Manager was surly.Please find somewhere else to eat!

The food was delicious, the waiters were very polite and concerned

Oh!🤗such a intimate quaint place enjoyed sangria and a good chicken salad

Classic NYC Italian place. 2nd best carbonara Ive had. The pork chop and potatoes were also excellent.

Wine and food was good servers were friendly and attentive

The dishes were simple good, the service was ok...

Everything you order here will be good! I have yet to be let down trust me:)

Fantastic Pizza...enjoyed sitting on sidewalk tonight ... nice wine lost

This place is fantastic.Great knowledge of wines and an amazing selection. I had the avocado cucumber soup to start and the gnocchi as my entree and I can’t say enough good things about the food and service. I will definitely return and recommend.

This restaurant is unbelievably bad! It took >1h to bring the food and the pizza felt straight from the frozen section of a supermarket! I am so surprised they are still in business!

Great little terrace, perfect salads, friendly staff, and wine!

The food is delicious here and the service is great too. They have a wonderful menu and the atmosphere here is amazing.

Best mushroom soup ever! Owners came by for conversation and to make sure things were satisfactory. Had the Gnocchi alla Padovana. Good portion and served hot. Great restaurant.

Good, reliable neighborhood local with great wine selection

This place is pretty mediocre. I wasn’t really impressed with much between the food and the ambiance. It felt pretty vibeless, almost like I was in an airport… the lights were super bright for dinnertime and for some reason their AC wasn’t running on an 80 degree evening. The food was overpriced and just average. With all of the amazing restaurants in NYC I would say this isn’t worth the money.

Delicious classic Italian food, and great Sangria.

The food and fresh sangria were great! As a vegetarian, I appreciated the number of meatless entree items. (Elsewhere on our trip it was difficult to find more than one vegetarian option that wasnt salad or soup). The service was not good, and we were confused by the awkwardness. When we entered the restaurant, there was no host stand or person waiting by the door, and no sign saying wait to be seated or seat yourself. So after a few seconds we just sat down at one of several empty tables. The server comes over to give us menus, and asks if we will be there longer than 1.5 hours since he has a reservation. I thought it was a bit rude to phrase it that way, and we did not intend to stay that long, but whatever. We figured if he wanted us to move tables he could have just asked. We didnt have any problems, it just felt as if we were an annoyance to the staff, even though the place was nearly empty...

Food was OK. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t good . They ran out of bread after one little bowl and we were 9 people. I order the gnocchi the sauce was disappointing and bland it reminded me of chef Boyarde and the food took over a hour to come when the restaurant was not that busy.

The food was wonderful, the service was awesome..

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant after getting some documents at the courthouse. We showed up a few minutes before they were officially opened and we were welcomed warmly in.I have a few allergies and found a great dish I could eat! Very happy about that. The scramble with zucchini and onions was perfectly paired with potatoes and a salad! It was fresh and yummy! My dining companion had a broth with tortellini in it followed by a pasta with Bolognese which he thoroughly enjoyed. There was a good beer for companion and I have a lovely tea.The service was lovely the wait staff was exuberant and helpful. I found the service very warm and friendly. Id highly recommend this spot for an array of meals with an array of people.

Quiet place, good food but à bit expensive....

Good spot for a business lunch. Nice wines

The butternut squash ravioli with sage and butter was amazing!

Good dinner in Tribeca. I went for the second time in this restaurant. It is amazing. Good food and good atmosphere. Taste the tiramisù, its really great.

Enjoyed a nice dinner here with family. There were many opportunities to try something a little different. Service was EXCELLENT!

Petrarcas food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great.

Weve been here three times so far and just love it! The waitstaff are really nice & the food is just wonderful. I had to try the homemade lasagna & it was a real treat! The pizza, chicken caesar salad, and even the hamburgers were excellent, too. I really appreciate that the restaurant is quieter than most, too! Thanks so much-

Loved they blackberry linguine and they semifredo dissert

Good attention. Good pasta. Optimal wine options

The butternut squash ravioli was excellent and so was the gnocchi! For dessert we got the tiramisu which was divine! All around great service!

Thr place looked cool and a friend wanted to go as we were across the street at the Roxy hotel.The staff was attentive and friendly.The Gnocco tartufo special was good. The gnocchi was soft and the sauce Buttery and decadent. Needed bread to soak it up.There was a ton of truffle on top. Personaly too much as I like hints of truffle and not so much. Everyone liked this dish. Shared by four of us.The charcuterie wasnt that great. We felt some of the meats were too salty and woule liked some cheese wiith it. Out fault for not asking for cheese. The wine the waiter recommended was really good and the bottle was $65.My friends had the tuna tartare and pork Chop and said they liked it.It was s quick stop so didnt eat a ton.

As always had a delicious meal here.

The owners are dedicated, the environment cozy and attractive. The food, well the food is reliably well worth the cost. This is an excellent choice for serious foodies.

Great service and fantastic food. Ate more than I wanted. The staff is friendly and doing a great job to keep the place safe and implement social distancing guidelines while making it a pleasurable and normal dining experience.Will certainly recommend.

This is the first and the last time I will eat pizza here..

Great casual Ambience Fine Food and occasional celebrity sighting

Petrarca Cucina e Vino is delicious authentic Italian cuisine. The food is fresh. The atmosphere is fun and urban -- oozing with charm. The staff is warm, embracing. The price is very reasonable --given portions, location and quality. Natural ingredients are mainly used at this Italian delight. Walk, dont run -- its amazing!

This is a one of Tribecas top Italian restaurants. Its classical Italian menu is prepared to perfection by its chef owner Leo, a native Italian whos history includes another NYC favorite, Arqua. Its menu is varied and includes favorites we love like the fennel salad prepared with olive oil and lemon, calamari which is crisp but juicy and the pastas that are incomparable. There are generally a variety of diverse specials and we especially enjoy their seasonal specials like truffle dishes, fresh porcini and live caught local fish. The staff is always polite and attentive. It is one of top go to places and not to be missed.

A really nice spot - service here is really good, it’s friendly and attentive (seemingly rare for NYC!), everything we ate was delicious and the 250ml mini carafes of wine were great value too. Highly recommend the burrata, tuna tartar and bolognaise. If you’re GF, the GF pasta is great too! Highly recommend.

Great spaghetti and turkey meatballs. the seafood linguine was bad.

An excellent choice for fine Italian dining in a cozy ambiance in Tribeca. All dishes are very tasty and authentic, and the wine selection is excellent. Very friendly service as well.

Great selection of wine and the service has consistently been great. The chicken Caesar salad is one of the best I’ve had; meat is done just right, not too chewy and the dressing tastes like it is home made. I would also highly recommend the salmon.

Wonderful food, wonderful place, wonderful employees. Everyone is friendly and the food is impeccable. Sure, maybe we only had 9 people sharing an appetizer, but it was great! Okay, j/k on the 9 people, but Im telling you, this is the best Italian restaurant in NYC. Those who know, know.

The food was very tasty but the experience was brought down when I noticed they had inserted a mandatory 20% tip for our party of four.I asked about it and our waiter said it was standard and that we must be new to New York... Then he got defensive and asked, What? You didnt like your service?They way it was written it would have been very easy to accidentally tip on top of the tip. Check your bill!

Very cozy and beautiful place, very good wine, but food....! it is not worth the money for it. the quality of cooking is lower than expected. the taste is lacking, and the food presentation disappointed. Overrated. I definitely will not go to this place again, I do not advise you to be disappointed in Italian cuisine.

Best lasagna and tiramisu!

So good! Appetizers of roasted garlic mushrooms, calamari, bruschetta. Dinner was lasagna and lambshank with pasta. Couple bottles of wine and great company with my daughter and her boyfriend.

Excellent setting with notable appetisers. Entrees are well done and the table near was particularly tasty. Fast and attentive servers. Unisex restroom available and reservations are recommended for dinner and on weekends. Directly across the street from the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Very knowledgeable wait staff. Great selection of wines. Love the food. I go for lunch and usually get the Gnocchi or the Orecchiette. I almost always get there early when meeting friends to have a glass of wine at the bar. Very personable bartenders and always with a good new recommendation for a new wine to try.

Some of the best pasta in town. fresh house made, but also incredibly good gf-pasta.

Terrible food, terrible service, terrible restaurant. DO NOT GO. The older gentleman who seems to be the owner or manager decided to yell at me for no reason whatsoever publically - honestly he should not be in a customer facing role. But until they realize that I will not be going to this place ever and making sure none of my friends go as well.

The best restaurant in the City! Family owned and operated. From Leos homemade ricotta gnocchi in truffle sauce to his second to none wine list, its all sooo good!

Very good, thank you- liked the lasagne!!!!

Flawless Italian, even my friends fromItaly were impressed.

Delicious food and wine options at very reasonable prices! Had a great dinner with friends here and they were pretty full, even on a Thursday night

The food was really really good: bestycarbonara Ive ever had and my wife thought lasagna was best ever also. very nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff

We really enjoyed the outside seating experience with great service... the food was good but we were expecting more.

Excellent Italian food. Great service.Wonderful restaurant.

I have been coming to this family owned restaurant for 10 years. Even when I moved to San Diego I made it a point to come here. The staff is amazing and so is the service and atmosphere. Sometimes you will run into celebs! Great place! Try the Procuitto di Parma sandwich or the Carbonara. Everything is great. There is also a Sommelier on site who is excellent! Leo, Antonnette, Emilio, and Ivano are amazing hosts!

Amazing food phenomenal wine selection

Very nice Italian food. Dishes rage from good to outstanding. Friendly, efficient service.

Really good, authentic Italian. Very good service. Good value.

Nice ambiace, excellent service, very good wine list, and superb food. Highly recommend!

Good and quick service. Good cook

The food was absolutely fantastic. The service was not. Here is how my wife and I felt his your hat whats your hurry

Delicious Italian food - homemade pasta that is out of this world, and amazing desserts!! Great wine list too.

Great place and food! Family restaurant with traditional family recipes!

Great place. Great service. And wonderful food.

One of my NYC staple restaurants to visit while I lived and now visit New York. In a charming part of Tribeca, this authentic Italian restaurant has the classics made with simple fresh ingredients but with an elegant presentation. The flavors are so amazing! My favorite is going during lunch and having wine and my favorite caprese sandwich on the East coast or a really delicious pizza thats just the right the size. The atmosphere is very relaxed and down to earth with an Italian, natural lit, sophisticated yet warm and inviting feel. Its a great place to go when its warm out since they have tables outside and great to go in when its cold because of the warmth and delicious smells and tastes and nothing like a big bold Italian wine on a cold day with a delicious pasta dish! The owners Leo and his wonderful Wife are always around and are so welcoming! I know their boys work there as well, so its nice to go to a local authentic Italian family run restaurant. I am always remembered and greeted and treated with such kindness and always love digging in to my favorite foods! I rate it a 5

Quality pasta. Had lunch here and enjoyed great food and excellent service sitting outside

So Edward Hopper style. Relax, eat well, have a refreshing Cocchi Americano and soda and a bottle from the wine list.

Had coffer. But it was good

Excellent homemade tomatoe soup and very fresh green salad...they gave a full serving of a wonderful chardonnay too ! Ill go back there again.

Splendid, delicious woods mushrooms, homemade spaghetti. a wonderful semi-freddo, could not ask for more delicious food

Great meal and ambience. I ordered the pappardelle with duck and my friend got the fettuccini Petrarca. Both great. The pizza is alright. Comes in like a flatbread and it’s kinda sweet. Not a favorite. Overall great though

Unbelievable service, food, and atmosphere!! Outdoor dining done well and freshest food!

The grilled chicken with arugula was excellent, and my coworker raved about her lasagna. The service was great.

Great food and service

If you want to eat a frozen pizza from the grocery store, you are at the right place. Their pizza is a disgrace to the Italian culture. As an Italians and travelled many times to Italy, we were insulted to get this pizza. Try another restaurant in the area there is many to choose from that wont charge you 12 $ for a bottle of water.

Excelent authentic italian food, 10/10

All was good, came here after photo gallery opening. Wine, wild mushroom soup, calamari, carpaccio, pasta, poached pears and espresso all great!

Bar tender Jose was amazing!

Excellent service food and atmosphere

One of the best Italian restaurants in the cityEverything fresh and homemade.

Excellent service and very good food. Unfortunately the wait for pizza is an issue -- once they didnt have dough ready and another time it would take 20 minutes for it to arrive as an appetizer.

A little on the expensive side but the service and the food is always amazing. Never had a bad experience in here. Always packed at lunch time.

Enjoyed my lunch. Food is delicious.

Is the best spaghetti carbonara in NEW YORK!! the wine selection is alao outstanding.

This is the best italian restaurant in the down town area. I highly recommend it to everyone whole loves real Italian food and wine.

Good place for wine (and food) sitting outside in the sun watching people get off work.

Squash Ravioli too sweet, average fish food. Very good wine selection.
