Torrisi - New York, New York

Torrisi è un ristorante italiano eccezionale a Manhattan. Piatti creativi come i Cavatelli con ragù di manzo giamaicano e l'affogato sono deliziosi. Atmosfera elegante e servizio impeccabile rendono l'esperienza indimenticabile​. Grazie

All I can say is wow!! I dined at Torrisi last Saturday and am still riding a high from it. It exceeded my expectations in every way. I live in the neighborhood and this is the spot I would take all my friends when they are in town (well if I could get in haha). Starting with the smiles and nice people at the front desk, the amazing staff that was the nicest and most helpful and kind servers I've ever experienced. And then there's the food. I loved every dish and we talked about not being able to pick a favorite. It was all amazing. I am a big foodie and don't rave about a place often but Torrisi does everything perfectly. Very impressed and can't wait to return!

First time to Torrisi. Was very impressed overall going in with high expectations. The octopus was amazing. Endives salad really good. The tortellini pomodoro was the best dish. Possibly the best pasta dish I've had outside of Italy. Enjoyed the sole with a side of scalloped potatoes. Great wine list. Some were a bit pricey in the the 5x retail range but found a wonderful white burgundy in the 2x retail range. Cookies as the end really topped off the whole experience.

The only thing not a full 5 stars was the wine temperature was probably below 50 degrees and then they put it on ice, but we asked they removed it and it was perfect after 10 minutes or so.

Best tortellini pomodoro and white truffle in NYC!!! Exquisite flavors and perfectly prepared dishes which were delicious. We waited in line outside the restaurant until it opened at 11:30 to eat at the bar....it was worth every minute waiting. Excellent service, especially Valeria, who was extremely nice and helpful.

Incredible dining experience! I had read lots of reviews and seen lots of social media content about Torrisi before dining here, and I was not disappointed.

I was dining alone and seated at the bar. My server was very friendly and talked me through the menu, served my drinks and also took my order.

I had a garibaldi cocktail which was great and later a glass of white wine. The drinks selection is excellent. To eat, I started with the cucumber salad which was so fresh and delicious. I then had the famous tortellini filled with ricotta cheese and in a pomodoro sauce. This was honestly one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten. So good!

The restaurant has a great ambience and feels very 'New York'. Service was fantastic. And the food and drinks are on the pricey side but absolutely worth it! Highly recommend.

Service was a little slow when I went, we didn’t manage to get a reservation so we did a walk in at 2pm (the website says it shuts at 2pm but last order was at 230pm and we ate till 4pm).

Very good Italian food. Highly recommend. But I really didn’t like their cocktails - too sweet for me.

Worth the hype! For vegetarians: the tortellini was the best dish. It melts in your mouth and is bursting with flavor. The off-menu cacio e pepe is good too. The cucumber salad was my second favorite dish and very unique, also bursting with flavor

Everything that has been said is true, TORRISI IS WORTH THE HYPE! Upon entering, you feel a vibe and mood shift, the restaurant is so beautiful inside. We were seated facing the dessert station and could also see part of the open kitchen, which I loved.

We were greeted by no less than 8 servers, it honestly could have been more but I lost count. Service, service, service is what sets this restaurant apart from others. We were greeted warmly every time we had an interaction with someone. The cocktails were delicious, my espresso martini was one/if not the best I’ve ever had. Everyone else’s cocktails were lovely, the sommelier was helpful in regard to picking a nice Italian Red without breaking the bank.

The bread…. Flaky, sesame heavy, delicious with their homemade butter. We ordered the following dishes:

- Cucumbers New Yorkese
- Crunchy, fresh, mustard, dill and parsley, never had cucumbers taste this good.
- Italian and American Hams with Zeppole
- WOW, a savory take on zeppole which the waiter kindly surprised us with more after we raved about them. Pineapple chutney and saltiness of the hams pared perfectly.
- Tortellini Pomodoro
- To me, best pasta of the night, so simple yet executed extremely well.
- Cavatelli with Jamaican Beef Ragu
- Very delicious! But thought I was going to fall in love with this one.
- Duck alla Mulberry
- Crispy skin, the sweetness of the mulberry, tender duck, YUM!
- Scalloped Potatoes
- To me, this was the only dish that was a miss, not what I was expecting. But I’m forgiving.

We ended with the Affogato, which came in a gorgeous Baccarat glass and was huge. They brought complimentary Italian Ice (all flavors as well which was so sweet) and cookies. Because we said how much we loved some of the cookies, the waiter kept bringing more and more and also sent us with a to-go box of our two favorites, the Pistachio and the Raspberry Chocolate Milano.

Overall, an amazing experience, I would fight tooth and nail again to get a reservation. A MUST TRY!
