   Our favorite restaurant in all of Eataly! Wonderful crudos with unique preparations, especially the scallops with basil seeds! Exceptional service.

   Dined here on Jan 18 and shared the following dishes with my friend (hope I got the dish names correct as I got this from the bill) The Gamberi Grigilata Pesce (prawns w/head on). Good. You really can't mess this up. Calamari fritte pesce (fried calamari with fried zucchini sticks) - tasteless. The chef needs to taste what he serves. Please season the calamari or the breading. The fried zucchini it came with was good as well as the sauce. Tagliatelle al tartufo: absolutely delicious! Well made and served al dente. Really loved this! Sauté al Fritti di Mare: wow this was really, really good. The portion was huge and we could have shared. Plenty of clams and mussels in what appear to possibly be a butter and wine sauce. It also came with a very large piece of bread for dipping. The only thing I did not like about the bread was that it was grilled and to my tastebuds the grill marks tasted a bit burnt. Otherwise, I love this dish and plan to have it again. Desert: Bavarese al pistacchio - I really did not like. Appeared to have tart apricots in it. It was terrible and I could not eat it nor did my friend like it. Budino al ciccolato - a very delish chocolate pudding! We also walked to one of their fresh pasta stands and ordered a pound of the spinach and ricotta ravioli and that was tasteless. I wouldn't order it again. Overall a good experience as we arrived early before the rush so service was good. Armando, the waiter, was professional, but not personable. You can be both.

   Food portions were small and presentation was not good Service on the slow side For the prices charged, I expected something better as a dining experience

   The food was excellent. The food was delivered promptly and was hot and well prepared. The market was packed and the wait for our table was 30 mins past our reservation. Our server was prompt initially but his returns to our table became further and further apart. I don’t think there were enough wait staff on hand for the tables. The manager and bussers were on point. Definitely worth going just don’t plan on being in a hurry or go on a weekday and avoid the weekends.

   I’ve eaten at other restaurants at this location and was eager to give Il Pesce a shot. The food was meh (octopus arancini and the tuna appetizer were mediocre, the scallop app was pretty good, the cavatelli with the octopus ragú wasn’t great). Service was prompt but impersonal, I won’t be back.

    I have a meal at Il Pesce every time I come to NYC.I love everything about the space--the food is superb, the ambiance is invigorating, and the service staff is paramount! This Saturday afternoon, I came with two friends. We ordered the warm grilled Ceasar, which is so terrific, and a tuna tartare to start. For main courses, we got a truffle pasta--just exquisite!--and a cod, roasted to perfection, in a light and so very fresh tomato sauce with giant capers. It was so delicious! We dipped the fresh and mushy/crusty bread into the sauce and savored every last bit of it! We had a great table in the corner. We loved the holiday spirit and all the people watching, yet it was roomy and we were able to have an intimate conversation. Our waitperson was so gracious, attentive, warm, and accommodating. We couldn't have been happier! It's always a truly delightful and ultimately satisfying experience dining at Il Pesce. Thank you!!
