Torrisi Bar & Restaurant New York Reviews from The Last Year
Great new italian restaurant
Great new italian spot in NYC but extremely hard to get in. Had to bring our kids for a lunch reservation and the wait staff were very nice and accomodating of the children. While a unique idea, the Italian and American hams with zeppole did not deliver on its hyped up instagram/tik tok reviews. I would also avoid the Octupus Nha Trang which was overcooked and expensive for what you got. The pasta dishes we had, especially the Cavatelli with jamaican beef ragu was exceptional! never had a pasta dish like that anywhere else. And the penne with chanterelles was also very good. The complimentary rainbow cookies brought back childhood memories Would try to come back if we can get a reservation!!!
WOW what can I say about Torrisi!! Now I know why it is so
WOW what can I say about Torrisi!! Now I know why it is so popular and super hard to get a reservation! They have 13 tables in their dining room section and some tables in the bar area while also having some bar seating where I was put. For Bar seating it's only for 1 or 2 people that you can make a reservation for. The open concept I thought was really cool. There is the kitchen and then a little bar area with no chairs where people can grab drinks and wait till their table is called or if they just want to come in for drinks they would just be standing around this bar area. Which is next to this open kitchen concept. The Space itself is in the Puck building, which is a famous NYC building. It is an Italian restaurant that is a part of MFG (Major Food Group). The cocktail/wine/ spirit list is wonderful. I opted for their Espresso Martini as I heard great things about it. They top it off not with Espresso Beans but with chocolate. So tasty! My friend had an Old Fashioned and then a glass of wine. Food wise I ended up getting the Tortellini pomodoro and my friend got the Cavatelli with Jamaican beef Ragu. We also got the penne with porcini chanterelles. The bread is a sesame sourdough that comes with herbed butter. Both are delightful. We both enjoyed our meals very much. The Cavatelli is spicy if that is your thing. For dessert we got sorbet samplings of different flavors: Green apple, lemon and two others I do not remember what they were. Our waiter/bartender was wonderful do not remember his name. He took all my food allergies very seriously and recommended items I could have from their menu. I would come back here in a heartbeat even just for the Espresso Martini...YES it is THAT GOOD!!
General: 2 couples for dinner.
We came in to a historic Puck building on time. We were promptly, within about 2 minutes, seated at the table. Asked for a corner booth to escape noise, and were promptly accommodated. Décor: Thank you guys for not falling into a boring white-on-white routine. Design is pretty good, although the lighting is too subdued. Very low lighting levels create a mysterious atmosphere and hide some features designers do not want to emphasize. We had to employ our cell phone lights to read the menu. Sound: Music was too loud and patrons generated a tremendous amount of additional noise trying to be heard. Fully-occupied tables and booths are positioned too close to each other to maximize space utilization. Hence, more noise per square foot. A conversation is impossible unless you sit next to each other. One waiter was going down on one knee to be closer to diners in order to be heard. Bathrooms: One bathroom is on the main level and two bathrooms are in the basement. The generously-sized bathrooms are clean and well appointed. Food: Complimentary bread: Was cold and appeared a bit wet to the touch-usually it is caused by either refrigeration, to preserve its freshness, and not reheating it well before serving, or by under baking it, or both. Oregano butter, on the other hand, was tasty and very soft-great for spreading. Dressed oysters: The amount of horseradish was so overwhelming that we ended up removing it from the oysters, and what we couldn't remove was still too much. Sweet and sour sardines: The night's special had an excellent taste thanks to an extent to the accompanying sauce. However, the dish consisted of 2 (two) medium-sized sardines that cost $38. If you factor in tax and tip, the two sardines ended up at $50. Way too rich. Bonito crudo: Bonito, sometimes called skipjack tuna, is highly perishable. Bonito tasted fine. Octopus Nha Trang: Slightly seared octopus was too tough. Octopus is a tricky dish to prepare, both undercooking or overcooking causes it to be tough. Raviolini with Prawns and Saffron: The best dish of the night, even though it was over salted a bit. Dover Sole Francese: Dover sole appeared to be too inexpensive at $59 when compared to Dover sole offerings at a similar class restaurants, where one has to shell about 30% more. That is until we tried it, it was 30% less tasty than at other similar establishments. Of course, it sounds funny to measure taste differences in percentages, but the words "less tasty" would not relay the message. Let's say the dish was not memorable. Black Sea Bass Dogana: The Sea Bass was to our liking. The Italian La Dogana reference was well-documented in reviews by others. Capellini Cantonese with 1/2 lobster: Lobster was tough. At $85+Tax+Tip one would expect a better-tasting product. Affogato: Pleasant dessert of expresso granita, hot fudge and vanilla ice cream. We found a piece of plastic in the dish-see Service below for what happened next. Drinks and vine: Not enough was consumed to comment on. Service: Well-orchestrated, courteous and very helpful. Staff is dressed properly, even busboys. We reported to our waiter about our plastic discovery and handed him the piece. In the next few minute we received a visit from a maître d'/floor captain who asked us whether we desire anything else. We politely declined. Upon the arrival of our bill, we were pleased to see that we were adequately compensated for a number of items we consumed. We would like to compliment the senior staff for a prompt and proper handling of the problem. Classy save! Conclusion: Most of the time hospitality lags behind food. In this case, the issue is reversed-hospitality is excellent. Food, on the other hand, needs to catch up. NYT reviewer awarded 3 stars out of 4 about a year ago. We say 3 stars are still appropriate for everything but...food.
The most fabulous lunch was had
We were fortunate enough to bag an early lunch here after sitting on the waiting list for weeks, and so glad we got in today. The food, service and overall experience was simply outstanding. It certainly lives up to any hype and is totally justified. If you are visiting the city and luckily enough to secure a table, you won’t be disappointed. Outstanding team Torrisi…
The best Italian spot in the city! Your wallet will feel a
The best Italian spot in the city! Your wallet will feel a commensurate amount but it's very much worth a special night. Everything from the appetizers to pastas to dessert was wonderful. I personally loved the duck and all their pastas. The affogato is also a must try. We did also try their off-menu bao - I understand the appeal but preferred the classic items. Service was impeccable. Team knew the menu well and offered great wine suggestions. Definitely add it to your splurge list.
We came on a Friday night, 11pm with reservations that were
We came on a Friday night, 11pm with reservations that were made a month in advance. Street parking was available due to the late night. The hostess was pleasant which is rare for nyc restaurants and our waitress was Raquel. Every single thing about Torrisi is exceptional. Torrisi lives up to the reputation it has received. I was finally able to come after a failed birthday dinner attempt. Every dish is fresh and delicious. The restaurant has an open kitchen. The service is top notch. The music seemed to be strictly 90s hip hop and rnb. I really can't speak highly enough of the dining experience we had. Raquel gave perfect recommendations and knew exactly how to pair our dishes and their timing. The chicken was so well seasoned and tender. I have never tasted anything like it. From the perfect skin to the juicy meat. Which was a little pink on the inside. All the pasta dishes we had (4) were light. The dessert was out of this world. As late as our reservation was, we left feeling light and didn't have an upset stomach afterwards. I hope to be able to return in the near future so I can better put into words the perfection that i experienced.
Torrisi is a restaurant that aims to impress and I have to
Torrisi is a restaurant that aims to impress and I have to say, it may be the best restaurant I've been to this past year. Set in an incredible building, with super tall ceilings and an exposed brick roof, it certainly doesn't feel like a lot of the other cramped restaurants downtown. I don't want to imagine how much it costs to operate in a space like this. Like all MFG restaurants, the service orchestrates itself like a well-oiled machine. It's professional, efficient, and accommodating. Dishes get sent out fairly quickly and you don't feel rushed through the meal. The food is what I would call "Italian and New York inspired." The food seems pretty heavily influenced from various New York staples and Torrisi just makes it work. The zeppole comes out with both Italian and American hams and the texture of of the zeppole itself is incredible soft. The "Duck alla Mulberry" is incredibly rich and tender, served with a sweet mulberry sauce and Swiss Chard that tastes strongly of butter. It can be a pain to get a reservation here, but this is one of those instances where I'd say it's worth it. Can't way to come back.
Got lucky with a same-day res in the dining room for 3
Got lucky with a same-day res in the dining room for 3 people and had a blast. Hype aside, the food is awesome (much better than Carbone and The Grill) and service is wonderful. Dining room is also gorg (I came here a few times when it was Chefs Club, and they did a good job with the remodel). I started with the perfect martini, which lived up to its name, then we all shared: + Charred clam boule + Italian and American hams with zeppole + Tortellini pomodoro + Cavatelli with Jamaican beef ragu + Fennel and grapefruit cocktail + Duck alla mulberry + Penne with mushrooms + Sicilian date cake + Affogato My favorite dishes were the ham with zeppole, tortellini pomodoro and duck. Fennel and grapefruit, penne and desserts were also standouts. Finally, I have to commend them for the pacing, which was totally on point. It was a rare meal at a ~hot~ restaurant where it didn't feel like they were just trying to turn the table. Can't say that for most restaurants in NYC these days.
Me and my friends went there for dinner.
The place looked like industrial soho Italian restaurant with open kitchen. Each good that we tried were amazing and service was great. You feel like what you ordered was personalized for you. One menu was served late and they gave us complimentary sides. It was worth the wait and money spent. Would highly recommend this place and hopefully be back soon.
Delicious food and amazing service.
All of the pastas were so good. We wish we could've had eaten more!
Worth the accolades! We were first in line when arriving at
Worth the accolades! We were first in line when arriving at 11:15am to snag bar seats. The bar area was comfortable and elegant with beautiful marble top and cushioned bar seats with backs to hang our jackets. Complimentary bread had a lovely tasty crust and springy dough and along with the creamy butter, already set our expectations high. Yes the ham with pillowy zeppole and dressed endives did not disappoint. Raviolini w prawns (nice kick and fav), seabass dogana, and linguini in pink clam were delicious. I regretted not balancing the meal better and should have ordered one simple pasta like tortellini pomodoro (looked heavenly at my neighbor's spot). We were lucky to have fantastic Charlie as our server, who was attentive and patient.
I loved the food at Torrisi! Don't miss out on the Italian
I loved the food at Torrisi! Don't miss out on the Italian hams with zeppole as the cured meats are not too salty and pair well with the pineapple jam. The free sesame bread with oregano butter is delicious too. We also had the aji horse mackarel and clam bouchole for appetizers. The pomodoro pasta was my favorite, simple but I would definitely come back to eat it again. We also had the linguini with pink Manhattan clam sauce which was nice to try. We also got the almond cheesecake with cherries for dessert which was light and airy but still was filling. They also give Italian ice and cookies at the end. The service is great and is a nice ambiance for a fancy meal.
Ehhh
Server was excellent, however busser rushed us out, taking our unfinished dessert without asking if we were done. For a table they needed back, they weren’t quick to give us menus nor were they on top of taking our orders.
Torrisi never disappoints!
I love this place. Everything has been delicious and the ambience is on point. Bar seats are very fun if you’re able to enjoy a spot there.
Lives up to the hype
Everything was delicious. Amazing ambiance. They were out of the cavatelli which was disappointing as that is the dish I was looking forward to. There were some minor service issues (bottle of white wine came out warm, asked twice for more bread) but the food and vibe more than made up for it
One of the best, and Jerry Seinfeld to boot!
We were at Torrisi Bar & Restaurant for my wife's birthday. The service is truly amazing. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. It is expensive, no doubt, so very much a special occasion kind of thing, but what I really liked was that they were open about the price of everything. The food is unusual and also excellent. The cocktails were very well made, and even the beer selection was out of the ordinary. And did I say Jerry Seinfeld was at the table next to us?!! Icing on the cake! 🙂
Amazing experience
I had a great time at Torrisi for my girlfriend on her birthday. So thankful for this site for making it happen. Highly recommend. It’s great food, a nice vibe and enough space to feel like you can have your own conversation.
Delicious…pricey…
Torrisi is lovely. We were happy to snag a reservation. The space is beautiful though quite loud. Our server said he was was new but he was excellent and charming. Food was very, very good. Portions are small. The cavatelli ragu, especially, was delicious as was the bass dogana. Cocktails were very good too as was wine - but $39 per pour was crazy! Overall, very good…
Excellent
The service was top-notch at this restaurant. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations.
Amazing
One of the best food an experiences in the past few years.
A trip to New York isn't complete without...
..An evening at Torrisi Bar & Restaurant. First class!
A TRUE GEM
Ambiance and service was exceptional! Not to mention THE FOOD was just IMPECCABLE!
Michelin Star or Stars To Come!
This restaurant is a true gem and there is no reason why they should not win a Michelin star in due course - perhaps even two. The food was absolutely outstanding with nothing having anything left to be desired. Would come back here in a heartbeat! Note the bar is first-come-first-serve and there is a time limit on the seat (say 90 minutes). Get there early as a line begins forming even before the doors open at 17:00
Anniversary
Torrisi is one of the best classier restaurant I went lately Here is why … Ambiance Service Food the tuna …tortellini …penne is not basic Drinks ….espresso martini is a must for ending diner For sure I am back soon
Kinda overrated
Good but not as good as people seem to think...

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.
