“It pains me to write this, but Roscioli NYC is awful.”

“The portion sizes did not match the quality and the ingredients were basic and cheap.”

“There's only one answer and it is in fact, Roscioli. They had the best carbonara I had in Rome as well.”
H3
“The Carbonara with guanciale was a standout, as was the burrata and aged parmigiano. The other items were very good but not as memorable.”
H3
“Their carbonara, cacio e pepe, and amatriciana are nearly identical to Roscioli Salumeria and Rimessa in Rome. The carbonara might be my favorite in the city.”
H3
“We went early and actually had extraordinary carbonara (not sure what they changed for your night) on par with many of the best places in Rome. But everything else was pretty lackluster, and the wines were nice but very small pours.”
H3
“Can’t say we’d go back, too many other good Italian places to try out, for much less cost I’m sure.”
H3
“Way too rich. Looked for the pancetta bits as a relief. Loved the meal over all though.”
H3
“the amatriciana wasn’t great. It’s too bad because the version in Rome is wonderful. Not al dente as it should be and the temp was weird. Also felt that the guanciale was over cooked”
H3
“the burrata was slimy and the pasta course was ice cold. The farro dish was gloopy and under seasoned, the desert was meh.”
H3
“Meh, was not impressed. They tried to emulsify their carbonara primarily with guanciale fat and not pecorino/egg yolk; it tasted fine but lacked the textural properties one seeks in the dish.”
H3
“Roscioli has gone downhill since it opened. Just went back last week and had a disappointing carbonara, which was the only Roman pasta on the menu. The others were risotto and orrecchiette. Plus the saltimbocca had such an unpleasant chew that we didn't finish it.”
H3
“I just went this past weekend and thought it was fantastic. So many great little starter bites before the tasting menu even began, and awesome wine pours.”
H3
“My wife and I I were there last night. It was exceptional.”
H3
“In all we dropped $200/person and left stuffed and happy. Would totally do it again.”
H3
“Both were excellent I thought, but I do like salty.”
H3
“roscioli is great. They have a fantastic wine selection. Though keep in mind their food is on the “simple but done well” side of the palate instead of big, bold flavours”
H3
“barely above avg pasta, small portions but still didn’t finish, price seems good w wine pairing included but just really not great even value wise”

“this carbonara was perfect”
H2
“We thought the quality was fine but for the price point were super disappointed.”
H2
“you can get a $29 version of this at Roscioli with really good butter and really good Parmesan.”
H2
“I really liked it. I walked in on a Sunday at like 5 and they sat me in about 20 mins. I also had the tortolo but it had a pan sauce which I enjoyed. I also loved the zucchini flowers which were lukewarm but served as a snack.”
H2
“I had a lackluster cold Amatriciana in the Rome location last summer. Last dinner of our Italy trip and disappointingly the worst of pasta we had during our stay”
H2
“The food was actually pretty good but the vibe seemed to be the staff were just inviting their friends along to hang out”
H2
“The easy winner in my opinion for who makes both a better Carbonara and Amatriciana is Roscioli hands down. The Roscioli recipes are the simple authentic versions of the two classic Roman pasta dishes.”
H2
“It wasn’t necessarily bad, and I didn’t dislike the food as many reviews indicate, but for the overly high price, it just didn’t match up. Seems to be a clear example of using internet hype to justify being wildly overpriced.”
H2
“Like you, I thought it was okay, but not as good as I'd hoped. In a city where you can't throw a meatball without hitting an Italian restaurant, Roscioli unfortunately just blends in with all the other Italian restaurants in this city.”
H2
“I dream about the pasta at their rome location.”
H2
“I lost my appetite from all the suspense and confusion but the food took forever to come out and was just not worth it. Never ever going back.”
H2
“I've had the carbonara at Roscioli in NYC, and prefer it at Ci Siamo.”
H2
“Arancini, carbonara and amatriciana were my faves”
H2
“We enjoyed the tasting menu a lot. Loved the carbonara, and several other dishes”
H2
“this is probably my favorite spot. I’m happy to pay good money, even if it’s small portions, for really quality dishes. The carbonara is the best and most authentic I’ve had in the city.”
H2
“I've been to both the NYC and Rome locations and the Rome carbonara was so much better.”
H2
“its good! really good carbonara.”
H2
“Roscioli is overrated”
H2
“The dishes I enjoyed most at Roscioli in Rome were because of the dairy, produce, and salumi which just aren’t the same quality here as in Italy.”
H2
“I had two plates of pasta that were SO over salted they were inedible.”
H2
“everything so SO salty and lukewarm”
H2
“The tiramisu at Roscioli is the best I've ever had Super delicious. Can't quite explain why, but the balance of flavors is just perfect.”
H2
“Not expensive, but one of my favorite restaurants in Rome recently opened their first overseas location in NYC. Check out [Roscioli](https://rosciolinyc.com/)”
H2
“* Roscioli - they include the wine pairing, but they do great mocktails for those who are alc free”
H2
“I thought Roscioli was inedible… our dishes were so salty that we couldn’t finish our meal. Would not recommend”
H2
“Roscioli was terrible when I went for the tasting menu. Felt like there was a cup of salt poured onto our food.”
H2
“gnocco fritto at Roscioli”
H2
“I thought it was really good! I’m not a hard sell though tbh. I thought the pasta dishes were well executed and they reminded me a lot of the stuff I had in Rome.”
H2
“When I went there I found it inedible as it was way too crunchy. The other pastas there were fine.”
H2
“I would say both here and in Rome were perfectly al dente when we went”
H2
“I went and go a la carte and was pleased- Had similar vibes and taste to the one in Rome.”
H2
“the food and wine were both impeccable”
