  • If you are a lover of either pasta and/or northern Italian cuisine I can’t honestly say there are many better restaurants to dine at in New York.

  • we overall thought the food was pretty good actually

  • Drinks were goo d, vibes were good, wine list was very good, bread and buratta was good. Pasta was…. Kind of terrible?

  • Rezdora had one of the worst restaurant desserts I’ve had. Their tiramisu didn’t necessarily taste bad, but it was covered in such a thick layer of cocoa powder that before taking a bite you inhale a big cloud of the stuff and end up having a coughing fit.

    Unbelievable. The chicken soup with little tortellinis is incredible. I cook pasta better after having eaten here, by virtue of knowing how it's supposed to be.

  • The Gramigna was the best think I ordered, loved the sausage ragu Probably the best tiramisu I've ever had as well.

  • Tagliolini - the RICHNESS of the meat flavor cooked into that sauce made me uncontrollably and audibly “mmm” in that the next table spun their heads over and ordered it immediately. Grandma - saw God. Olive Oil Cake - I will have dreams about this cake.

  • replying to u/eatfrenchtoast123: Maybe Italian? Rezdora, Massara, Don Angie, San Sabino, da Toscano, Torrisi Also love penny (only bar seating which I think is great for solo dining)

    Rezdora can be hit or miss. I admire the chef's al dente dedication, but it feels like on a scale of 0-10, if the usual al dente is like 6-7, Rezdora is like 4-5, and it feels like it insists that's the "right" al dente.

  • It’s delicious, went a few weeks ago and had a great night.

  • replying to u/ChefBoyD: Fucking go to Rezdora!! 1 star mich. Get there before opening and hope you can snag a bar seat. Bar seats are first come basis. Great italian spot

    I went about two years ago and had a great time, but honestly cant recommend it in good faith. Spent about $500 total there on a date and looking back wasn’t too impressed.

  • We had a great meal and the wine was acceptable, but certainly not the star of the show.

  • Rezdora is not bad at all. It’s actually usually very tasty from my handful of experiences.

    H3

  • I believe it to be very overrated and likely won’t go again. The pasta wasn’t particularly interesting and none of their dishes stood out as the best version of it that I’d had.

  • I have never had a worse restaurant experience in my life.

    H3

  • in my opinion the pasta was very very good and at Michelin level. Everything else was good, but not up to a starred standard IMO. I was most disappointed in the steak

  • Rezdora was awful when I went. Everything non-pasta was average, several of the pasta courses were incredible, one was undercoooked and still crunchy, and I like pasta cooked Al dente.

  • replying to u/macchinas: Not really. Surprised rezdora didn’t lose theirs

    The service was absolutely atrocious and most of my food was quite literally, inedible, due to either being overloaded with salt or just being served raw pasta.

  • replying to u/StonewallBurgundy: Rezdora for the pasta tasting, le french diner for the most intimate experience you’ll have (get there right when it opens they dont take reservations), le cou cou if you’re balling out and want some unique dishes, skin contact for a special wine menu and great bites (more of a tapas vibe for food)

    some dishes were good, others not so good, and our entrees were so salty we couldn’t eat it. Feel like the kitchen tasted it after the fact and realized how salty it was and comped the entrees lol. Was just disappointing overall.

  • replying to u/tiggat: Rezdora is overrated, go to olive garden times square instead.

    Honestly I actually agree with this. Rezdora is the most overhyped restaurant in the entire city. I went twice when it opened. First time, meh. Second time, my pasta came out cold. It was sent back and cold again!

  • replying to u/original_hoser: Thanks! What about other diners? As they walk or wait for a table? Sometimes, those who wait just crowd behind you where it's really uncomfy. I'm just gonna go when they open, and probably have to wait 1hr to snag a seat at the bar. BTW, should I just get the tasting?

    The tasting is very good, but it doesn't include a couple of their most popular dishes (the raviolo and grandma walking through forest).

  • Rezdora was the biggest let-down dining experience I've had in a long long while. 20 minutes between courses, cold undercooked pasta, repeating sauces/flavors on tasting menu. I was shocked at how bad it was.

  • Their sausage ragu pasta was probably the single best dish I had in NYC.

  • Great. Small dishes imo. But a ton of thought in each. Its aesthetically pleasing, drinks and wine list are great.

  • The worst martini I had this year came from an otherwise incredible Italian restaurant, Rezdora. It was called the Butcher's Martini, a bold concoction made with vodka infused with prosciutto, yup prosciutto—and, unfortunately, it was as bad as it sounds.

  • I love Rezdora, it's some of my favorite pasta in the city. And I had some strawberry dessert there once that I've literally thought about once a week since I had it.

  • Felt exactly the same way. Got Super excited after watching the eater video, was extremely underwhelming. Pasta was extremely undercooked and overpriced.

  • Favorite single thing is tough but I’d say either gramigna giallo e verde from rezdora

  • replying to u/beernerd6: I think most of this sub doesn’t like Rezdora and I agree. You probably found out why.

    The issue was the food just wasn’t good. At all. It sucked.

    H2

  • I found the quality of food to be excellent as well, however with the portion sizes we had to order about three times as many pasta dishes as normal to feel full.

  • Rezdora is my go to place for upscale Italian when I travel to NYC, and I’ve been to all the usual spots. I like how small it is, I’ve never been interrupted by someone near us with their conversations, the chef lives and breathes Emilia Romagna and is an overall great guy, and the food is solid.
