Nice, cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff and very good food (pasta dishes we had were fantastic) which on top has a fair price. I liked the interior and table arrangement. Not as other restaurants in NY. You have space. Define toy worth the train ride to get there from the city.
This was a wonderful discovery, and it's much better place than a lot of other so-called Italian restaurants.
The burrata was so fresh it was melting on the fork, served with cherry tomatoes (riped in the sun and not in a greenhouse).
The mussels were great but what really made them was the broth underneath: flavorsome, balanced, rich.
And the ribeye (a special of the day) it was cooked perfectly, medium rare as I had asked.
Fiorello could take a lesson or two here.

I missed lunch so I treated myself to an early dinner. I love this place because you can eat a vegetarian meal that is as good or better than the meat options. I finished with sorbetto. The only (minor) misstep was the bread. It was not very good. But, having missed lunch it came quickly and kept me from drinking on an empty stomach.
This restaurant is so great that when someone suggests somewhere else I sometimes feel a little disappointed, even when I know I'll enjoy the other place too.

My experience eating here was amazing. The food was delicious. I had the Spaghetti and Plant-Based “Meatballs”… SOOO GOOD! It all tasted fresh and extremely authentic. The meatballs didn’t taste like meat, in the sense that it wasn’t an impossible or beyond meat. BUT it did have the hardiness, spongey texture, and an amazing sauce/seasoning that in my opinion was better than any meat sub I’ve had. The service was amazing. Everything was prepared quickly. Everyone was kind. It was extremely clean. I have nothing bad to say!
Top Notch,
Quick service and attentive staff. Luke was kind and knew the menu. $20-40 a plate.
Nice atmosphere and would visit again many times over.

The good reviews are spot on. We had a wonderful lunch at Pisticci. It's lovely inside and out. It was a beautiful day for the patio so we choose to sit street side under an umbrella. Service was perfect from start to finish. Our lunch was sensational! I had the Insalata Pisticci (minus the potatoes) and added grilled salmon instead. The spinach was fresh, the dressing divine and the salmon was flaky yet firm. My husband had the Seafood Pasta special. It was loaded with shrimp, mussels, clams and a white fish over linguine. There was more fish than pasta which thrilled my husband. If you're wondering if he enjoyed the sauce, I can tell you he alone ate the entire basket of the crusty Italian bread, dragging every piece through his leftover sauce and finally spooning the rest on his last piece of bread. We will definitely eat here again!
We had Brunch at Pisticci in Upper West Side with family. The decor is adorable with cozy & relaxing ambiance.
We ordered most of the items available on the menu and they were overall decent with reasonable price. The portion of the avocado toast was impressive, it’s generous to see Pisticci serving 3 slices in one plate.
My roommate had Fettuccine al Funghi and it was amazingly good. It’s flavorful and the noodles were chewy. We still got a tiramisu as dessert & it was a perfect ending even though we were extremely full.
