    Excellent food and service. This was my second night in a row. If we weren’t leaving for home tomorrow I’d come back to Becco tonight.

    Typical pre-theatre restaurant. A million people. Everyone in, everyone out. Had burnt lasagna, manager said “it happens”. Just a shrug. This after the waiter pointed at our table and laughed as the manager then walked over. Didn’t appreciate that attitude or lack of caring. Eventually came back and offered $15 off. Outside of the burnt lasagna, food was fine. Nothing to write home about. Prices definitely elevated here. Buyer beware. Know what you are getting into.

    We’ve eaten here many times before—- but this experience was not so good. We were seated late; service was not prompt; even getting the check was hard. Barely made it to the theater. Not sure what the issue was, but mayhem reigned.

    SERVIZIO PESSIMO !!!! Il 26 Dicembre insieme a mio marito abbiamo deciso di andare a mangiare in questo posto con delle aspettative molto alte visto che il ristorante viene sponsorizzato da Joe Bastianich. CAMERIERE ANTIPATICO Durante tutto il servizio non ha fatto mai un sorriso ma soprattutto sembrava come se ci facesse il favore. CIBO Antipasto -Polenta con il bacon buona -Antipasto misto buono se non fosse che il piatto era congelato e quindi è stato preparato h prima Primo -Tris di primi (fettuccine al ragù ,ravioli ripieni spinaci ,penne al pomodoro) non male tranne le fettuccine dure e sugo 👎🏼 Secondo -Costoletta di vitello mio marito è rimasto molto soddisfatto BEVERAGE gin tonic buono SERVIZIO Come detto prima pessimo. La cosa che ci ha dato più fastidio è che dopo aver terminato di mangiare i nostri piatti erano sul tavolo senza che nessuno venisse. Il cameriere nostro era sparito e quelli che erano lì non si avvicinavano. Alla fine ci siamo alzati con i piatti sul tavolo per andare a pagare.

    I love Becco. True authentic Italian food. I loved my salmon so much and the roasted Brussel sprouts. We loved the restaurant so much we’re coming back tonight.

    Wonderful restaurant for an authentic Italian experience! The pasta was perfect! We tried the order of a trio of 3 pastas and were not disappointed. Other offerings ordered by a member of our group were also deemed delicious. The wine selection was also great. Service was excellent!

    Becco is our go to restaurant before or after the theater and my family has been eating there for 25 years. Tonight we were seated upstairs at a tiny rickety table shoved up against the wall. The tables were so close I was practically in my neighbor’s lap. Server was brusque and unfriendly. Service was slow. When I asked to pack up my meal to go, some dude angrily tossed a container onto the table. I hope this was just a weird “off” night but this was not the Becco experience we know and love. Also, the upstairs area is terrible. Ask to be seated downstairs.

    Waiter was honest and excellent. He let us know the chef was under a lot of stress. I understand bc this is a peak week but it didn’t hit right. Basic ravioli would have been helpful for a picky teen. Steak was amazing !
