    Becco is a great option for pre- or post-theatre. Its reputation for being a “tourist trap” is totally unfounded. The food is excellent, the service friendly and efficient and, with dozens of $40 bottles of wine (and endless pasta if you so choose), it’s also a great value. And one of the few places in Manhattan where you can still get a terrifically prepared liver and onions, Lidia’s place on Restaurant Row still rocks! (P.S. - ask to be seated in one of the quieter upstairs rooms if you want to avoid the excited buzz on the main level.)

    Chicken parm was burned around the edges and did not come with pasta. It was rather noisy. Waiter was very attentive! Won't be returning.

    This is a great spot before heading to a 7pm show in the theater district. They are quick but not pushy. The food is amazing and comes out quickly. I would definitely come back soon. My only complaints are: this is not an allergy friendly restaurant. They are very accommodating as much as they can anyway but it does not offer much for those with a dairy allergy. Also, upstairs is hot. It was much cooler outside when we left. Last. It was so loud in there I couldn’t hear those at my table when they spoke to me. But with those things aside it’s a fabulous restaurant.

    Your goto for Italian in the city, pre-theatre, date night, girls-night out. This is definitely high value. Will be putting on repeat. A Friend recommendation that will always be greatly appreciated. ❤️

    This is a great place to stop by for a great tasty and filling dinner before a show. They move fast and have great options for food and large portions for fair prices.

    I expected a nicer experience because it is a Bastianich restaurant. It was okay, very noisy with clanking plates and glasses from the servers clearing tables. The waiter forgot to put in our appetizer order, this was very disappointing. I’m not sure that we will go back.
