“My fave is Becco. It’s a pre-fixe, tasty pastas, $30/40 bottles of wine and they are experts on getting you out in time for your show.”

“I personally love the pasta special at Becco. I like showing up and seeing what flavors and preparations they have that day, and I like the antipasto.”

replying to u/Chanel1202: I’m a fan of Becco on 46th between 8th and 9th. I don’t think they do happy hour though. There is a new Serendipity 3 location in Times Square on 47th street that does happy hour and has American food. That might be fun. There’s also del frisco’s grille on 51st between 5th and 6th- close to the Gershwin. Unclear if they do happy hour but they may.
“Maybe I just went on an off day but Becca was horrible. The pasta sauce was watery, the pasta overcooked, and the lasagna was oily with a broken bechamel.”

“If you want something more "local" look at Becco. There will still be a tourist crowd here, but it is more Italian than Italian-American (red sauce).”

“I love Becco, more mid-priced but it’s definitely reasonable, especially if you get the 3 pasta dish, it’s all you can eat and they rotate what pastas they serve each night. But everything I’ve had there has been delicious”

replying to u/_allycat: This was a long time ago, but the all you can eat pasta sampling thing at Becco. They were all overcooked, one was wheat pasta and the texture was grainy, and the sauces were all bland and terrible too.
“I’ve been there twice (with them, for birthdays) and simply don’t get it. It’s all unseasoned and bland.”
