Pisticci New York Reviews from The Last Year
Nice Italian neighborhood restaurant.
I especially like the mushroom pasta. Service is friendly, on nice evenings the outdoors tables are pleasant.
A very cozy NYC Italian restaurant.
Need I say more? We started with a fresh burrata surrounded by split cherry tomatoes dancing in a wondrous olive oil. I was a little fearful that the pumpkin and corn soup special might be too sweet and creamy, but it was delightful, and I believe didn't have any cream at all. The ground corn provides nice texture to this delicious gazpacho-like (but piping hot) concoction. The fresh cavatelli with broccoli and portobello bathed in a delightful white wine and shallot reduction, was a really wonderful plate. The broccoli was perfectly cooked with the slightest, satisfying crunch, not over-cooked even by a second. The portobello slices were yum-umi, and the sauce provided a light touch that brought it all together. A glass of super Tuscan wine - actually two -paired nicely. Superb, friendly and prompt service.
Oh, Pisticci.
I am so grateful I live 2 minutes away from what I consider heaven on earth. I have only gotten takeout from this restaurant, but they absolutely DELIVER on the quality every time. Forget the overhyped TikTok restaurants, Pisticci, to me, is incomparable. For transparency, not every dish I rank below is absolutely perfect, but I have not had one meal so bad that I disliked it. My rankings range from absolute perfection to this was okay. First off, the Fettuccine al Funghi... oh my gosh. This is on another tier. The fettuccine noodles are always cooked al dente, and the sauce is delightful. I always pay $4 extra for the truffle oil, and this really elevates the dish to the next level. This dish is plate-licking clean, and if you are a mushroom fan like me, this is the pasta for you. My absolute favorite. When I'm in a meaty or tomato sauce mood, I opt for the Maltagliati with Ricotta, Spinach and Lamb. This, as someone else described it, is like a deconstructed lasagna. I especially love it when I get a bite of the ricotta, just so creamy. I will note, however, on my most recent order of this dish, they may have forgotten the tomato sauce? Because when I opened up my order, the pasta was totally drenched in brown from the lamb, in comparison to the previous times I have had it. It was still good, but one, it didn't look very appetizing, and two, it was too meaty without the tomatoes to complement. In the times I felt like venturing away from my beloved Fettuccine I have tried the Rigatoni alla Vodka, Tuscan Bean Ravioli, and Cavatelli Broccoli e Portobello once each. The Rigatoni was a solid basic dish! For the Ravioli and the Cavatelli, however, I couldn't help but regret not ordering the Fettuccine. These weren't bad, but the Fettuccine truly is THE best. The Ravioli was okay, guess I'm not a white bean fan. I really enjoyed the creamy tomato sauce it was in, so if you order this, make sure to get a side of bread with it for dipping. I recently tried the Cavatelli tonight, and while I liked it, I learned I'm not a fan of cavatelli pasta. I probably would have liked it more if it was with penne. I also wish the portobello mushrooms were sliced into smaller pieces to be integrated throughout the pasta. Next, desserts. I have tried two - the Coconut Cake and the Chocolate Mousse. The Coconut Cake goes insaaaaane. One of the best slices of cake I've ever had, 100%. I can't help but order this every time I place my takeout order. Just absolutely sumptuous. Chocolate Mousse is good, but the portions are ridiculously small for $9. For your $'s worth, you're better off with the Coconut Cake, but maybe the Mousse's portions are bigger in person. All in all, I adore Pisticci, and I do hope I'll sit down and experience the actual restaurant itself at some point, especially since I know they have jazz Sundays!
I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for many
I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for many years and have always appreciated the classic menu options. However, I have noticed some changes on my recent visits that have left me feeling disappointed. The portion sizes seem to have decreased, while prices have increased, and a new credit card fee has been added. Additionally, the staff appears to have moody demeanor. They seemed distracted and disengaged, which made for an unfriendly dining experience. Furthermore, when I received my meal, half of it was overcooked, which was a disappointment. It's also disappointing that the hostesses are never able to accommodate my request for a table for one. I hope the management will consider these issues and make adjustments to restore the high standards I have come to expect from this establishment.
I have been going to Pisticci for the past 26 years.
They always have had good food and the people working there have been always very friendly and kind. Lately, they have hired a young woman who is always upset and mad. She obviously doesn't like to work there as a server and is unhappy. I understand work is not easy but she should move to something else and stop making miserable the patrons. Every time she is our server I regret eating there.
The food is consistently great ! Service is friendly and
The food is consistently great ! Service is friendly and attentive, but not over bearing. Pisticci is a real gem in Harlem.
Updated to reflect owner response: I appreciate the
Updated to reflect owner response: I appreciate the owner's response to our review. I want to first say that I am so excited to hear that Pisticci is transitioning to employee ownership! That is incredible, and it definitely makes us want to come back, despite the subpar experience we had. I also want to address what you've said about our interactions with staff "on a day that we were unhappy." To put it plainly, I know that people can be assholes to staff when they are unhappy with their experience, but I want to emphasize that we are NOT those kind of people under any circumstance. I think it's clear from what I wrote previously (and if you read my reviews of other restaurants, my views are consistent) that we are ALWAYS on the side of workers, and no matter what kind of dining experience we have, we never take out frustration on staff. We always tip generously, our tips NEVER reflect food (or even service) quality as we know that staff rely on their tips for the majority of their income and I would never f**k with someone's ability to pay rent, even if I have a bad experience. I assure you that we were kind, polite, friendly, and understanding throughout. We didn't even tell the waitstaff that the food was not great because we knew it wasn't their fault and weren't trying to get a comped meal. When I said "weird experiences," I didn't mean negative, I just meant that there were several moments throughout service that were awkward, starting with being brought to a table while it was still dirty, so we had to kind of awkwardly stand very much in the space of another table dining while they cleaned it - stuff of that nature. I apologize for assuming a connection between staff energy and how they are being treated by employers. I obviously don't know what goes on behind the scenes. I hear everything you've said about having the same line of chefs working and that you say that the attention to food quality hasn't changed. I'm sure you feel that's true - I am simply reflecting that those are just words if the food being served is bad. What I received on my plate was overcooked eggs, dry lettuce, unseasoned potatoes, soggy/stale bread, sauce that was unpalatable, and burnt pancakes. None of which I ever used to receive when coming here in the past. All of this lead me to guess that, because things are not great right now economically for New York and for restaurants, maybe there's been a change in the ingredients that are being purchased, or other changes to cut costs that have impacted food quality. I would understand why a restaurant would be driven to do that, but that ultimately doesn't change the fact that as a diner, the quality of my food would be impacted, and I would choose not to come back. Because of your response, I've updated my review to 3 stars, but the fact remains that the food really wasn't good. I would be (reluctantly) willing to come back for brunch one more time (especially because of the exciting transition to employee ownership!) in the hopes that it was an off-day. Though I'm hesitant to fork over another $50 if you're implying that there was nothing wrong with the food we were served and that we should expect a meal of similar quality. If this experience was a one-off, I would delightfully remove this review and write a new one that reflected the better food quality.
I especially loved the ambiance in Pisticci.
The food was great! The burrata salad was amazing. I also had a pasta dish with truffles, also delicious. Service was timely and up to par. I'd go again. I loved the outdoors and entry way, you kinda have to step down to enter the restaurant which gave me a cool Italian summer vibe. It was spot on! All in all service, food, ambiance was wonderful.
Food is great, but I really wish it came faster.
I highly recommend the spaghetti with meatballs. The vibes are overall very good, and there's usually chill music in the background
Our waitress was lovely, the vibes were also great.
The food however was mid at best. We ordered the steak and eggs, breakfast carbonara, uovo contadine, lemon ricotta pancakes as well as an espresso martini and a carafe of the Bellini. My favorite dish was by far the uovo contadine but I felt like I could make it at home. Honestly everything I tried felt like something I could make at home. There was no wow factor. The lemon ricotta pancakes were also solid but nothing special. The least appetizing dish was 100% the steak and eggs. It was the tiniest little steak you'll ever see. We ordered it medium rare and it was RAW (in a Gordan Ramsey voice). Breakfast carbonara was fine I guess, but needed salt. I understand now this place is meant for dinner. I would like to try dinner but only if someone else suggested it. Would probably not go back on my own. If I lived next to it I would go all the time, but I don't so probably won't go back. P.s. espresso martini was REALLY good

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
