My long term partner and I reunited in the city that never sleeps, the big apple, the empire state, and experienced an outdoor seated array of pasta and juices. Food was not our favorite as pasta was more al dente than hoped with limited sauce and some shredded cheese. The dinner crowd had not rolled in so it was peaceful and the waiter(s) were very nice.

Update: I can confirm they charged me twice. The transaction posted. And I again would like to say I am very disappointed in the fact that I was not given back my card after I SHOWED them that their original charge had been approved by my credit card company, and instead was charged again (with no effort on their part to actually figure out what THEY did wrong). I’m a student, and I’m not made of money. Being charged twice, totaling an amount of 325 dollars, is unacceptable. Cannot recommend this place. Food was good and I was ready to decide that I might come back, and then they had “machine issues” and charged my credit card twice. Regardless of whether the charge is dropped, I really disliked that they went ahead and charged me again when I had already showed them the confirmation from my bank, because their system had not registered the transaction. Having eaten at thousands of restaurants all around the world, I can say this has never happened to me. Not to mention, they added a “manual gratuity” to my bill, when my party was only of 3. I was ready and willing to give more of a tip, but was very taken aback by the fact that it was put on the bill without me being able to choose.

They have some homemade pastas here. The ambiance is excellent and the flavor is delicious. I ordered the Paseo pasta and it was awesome just wish they took the tail off the shrimp.

I went for brunch. The first time at the restaurant. It was full. So best to make reservations. I ordered lasagna on a whim. I am very picky about my lasagna. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I had to stop myself from eating too much. There was plenty to eat. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs and ate it all up. My parents ordered pancakes and "french" toast and then shared them. I say "french" because it seemed not to be ordinary french toast with some fruit and powdered sugar. The pancakes were two of the fluffiest ones I have ever seen. And my parents had enough to take some home. So, all in all, I DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK! Oh and there was some live music in the corner near the door. A little jazzy. If I were you, I would give this place a try! Plus, there were some toddlers with grown-ups and a small dog in the corner. As a first-timer, I will DEFINITELY be a second-timer, if not more!

Excellent food. I had the salmon burger and it was delicious. The lentil soup was hardy. It was a good way to start my dining experience. It was a quaint and lovely atmosphere. The host and waiter were wonderful. There weren't any families with children like other Italian restaurants on the strip. So it is lovely for a nice date. A well-designed decor made it feel open and cozy. A good place to linger after a meal 😋

Food is absolutely delicious. Service is excellent and friendly This italian eatery understands italian pasta and dishes. The portions are favorable and price points are comfortable. Drinks are prepared well. The evening we had dinner the establishment was empty so I’m not sure what the experience is like when it’s packed but dinner while the restaurant is half empty was actually a delight. The music selection could improve but other than that definitely recommend this excellent italian eatery.

I would ve given it five stars but as soon as they brought the sizzling hot plates the restaurant stank and I now I I feel we have to go home and change our clothes. It was perfect until then. The vibe was perfect. The food is outstanding, and the service is outstanding but as soon as they brought the sizzle plates out the vibe was dead, and people started leaving. The restaurant was covered in smoke. Such a pity. 5 stars until the sizzle plates.

A real treasure. Beautiful interior, great live music and the food - utterly delightful. Everything we had -the spinach omelet, chicken cutlet and the parmigiana sorrentina was exceeding well done showcasing a care for high quality ingredients and real culinary craftsmanship. The espresso was a true italian espresso too. Lovely service on top of it. Thank you!

A very high standing for an affordable price. The seafood pasta were particularly good, but because the portion was rather small I had to subsequently eat a burger, which was more standard but still completely correct. I was so full I came home rolling, thanks Tartina!

The food here is mediocre especially for NYC, but the price point is much lower than other Italian restaurants in the area (although still not inexpensive.) We ordered the gnocchi and it was just okay. It did not seem very fresh; the tomato sauce tasted a little bit sour, as if it had turned. However, it was definitely not inedible, and our server was kind to us during our dinner.

Pleasantly surprised with the dining experience. Came here with a partner and while the environment was nice, the vibe was kind of off due to the fact that it was 7 on a Saturday and there were only a few parties in the restaurant. Despite this, the staff was nice, and I really enjoyed my lasagna. My partners dish was a little lack-luster, and Im not sure this would be the top of my list to try again, but its proximity to Columbia is hard to beat.

I hosted a birthday brunch for 12 people at Tartina this past weekend, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. When I emailed to inquire about a party menu, Maria Teresa called me personally to put the details together, and I got a quote quickly. Tartina had the best prix fixe price of any of the restaurants I reached out to, and being a neighborhood local, I knew the food would be amazing as always. The day of the event, our table was beautifully set (one long banquet for 12 people), and the service was professional and efficient. They put so much food out! For the price per person, I was shocked by the generous portions--it was served family-style, and we couldnt finish everything they put out. It was a gorgeous 3-course spread, and everything was cooked consistently and very well-done. Everything came out hot and fresh; the tables barely had enough room! Everything was truly authentic Italian. My guests raved about the food (the arancini and the pancakes were crowd favorites), and we enjoyed the live jazz music throughout the afternoon. Our table was set up on the upper level (a short step above the main level of the dining room), which felt like a semi-private experience. I cannot say enough good things about the day, and I will definitely be hosting more events here.

Most importantly the food was good! The service could be a bit improved imo. We went during brunch time, but when we ordered something from the brunch menu he said we can t because it s only available certain days, in a way that was implying that we should ve known that despite it not saying anywhere. No problem, but he could ve just said so when telling us to scan the QR code, that it s not available today. So we had to find something else and wait for him to come back. Also paying the check took a while, cause we couldn t get his attention. The restaurant was less than half full, so kinda surprising.

All but one of the five of us very much enjoyed our food. The house made papardelle was a little thick and the Bolognese sauce not as tasty as were used to, but the creme brulee and pastry horn with fresh fruit and cream more than made up for it. So did the tubbetoni with swordfish and eggplant pistachio pesto!

Look, was it the worst thing Ive eaten? No. But a risotto of the day thats somehow under and over cooked because no one took into account that zucchini has a lot of water in it? Kind of not the look when you charge 26 dollars. Someone else got their steak on a sizzle platter like a Chilis though, so if youre into that, this is the overpriced Columbia trap for you. Staff was nice and the volume was great. Really helped make sure you could hear the sizzle platter all the way back near the restroom.

**BEWARE** My credit card was not returned to us with our receipt to sign and there was no attempt by the waiter to return it to us. We paid as we finished dinner and were there for 10-15 mins more finishing our drinks. The waiter was happy to visit our table to grab the signed receipt while we were still sitting there, but at no point during this was any attempt made to return my card. I didnt notice until we were already on the bus heading home at which point, we ran back to the restaurant to retrieve the card. When we got back (~5-10 mins later), we searched all around the table and found nothing. Our waiter finally comes out from the kitchen and almost seemed surprised that we came back. He was very slow to retrieve it and seemed to shuffle around a lot of things in the cash register (where my card had somehow ended up). Needless to say, Ive already started the miserable process of replacing the card as I do not trust these people. As to the rest of the dining experience, in a single word, lackluster. The portions were tiny, the food lacked flavor, and the service was about as present as my card after dinner. Im extremely disappointed that we stumbled across this place for a date night and felt I needed to apologize to my fiancé for how terrible it was.

The tomatoes in the caprese salad tasted fresh and flavorful, which is a challenge for this time of year. The Lingua di Passero had a subtle but refreshing lemon flavor, and the shrimp and clams were cooked well. The sirloin for two was tasty and had a fun (and attention grabbing) presentation on the hot lava stone. Only problems I had were that the portions were just *slightly* small for the price. And if you order the lava stone steak, be quick to remove the steak from the stone once is reaches your preferred temperature - otherwise it ll keep cooking on the stone.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tartina. We stopped by with friends before seeing a play and were delighted by every dish. Collectively we ordered the calamari and shrimp fritti, oysters, panariello, and arancino. All of the appetizers were great and packed with flavor. For our entrees we ordered the cacio e pepe, Bolognese, gnocchi massaia, vitello alla costiera. They were all delicious and filling, and I think my favorite had to be the gnocchi and the vitello. The gnocchi were the most wonderfully delicate pillows of flavor I have ever had and the sauce was to die for. The dish was so good that it made me realize Id never had truly good gnocchi until last night. The vitello was tender and juicey and I sighed with happiness after each bite. For dessert we ordered the panna cotta, profiterole, fragola, and tiramisu. Once again all dishes were wonderful, but my favorite was the tiramisu closely followed by the panna cotta. The sponge of the tiramisu was light and fluffy and all the flavors were perfectly balanced, it was truly a joy to eat. On top of all the delicious food the service was wonderful. We were waited on by Victor and he was lovely and provided the best service. Everyone on staff was kind and attentive and made the whole experience not only one to remember, but one to cherish. I look forward to going again.

I had my 81st birthday party at Tartina lunchtime today. Id been there before several times with a friend. The food (for 8), service, and atmosphere were great. We were all pleased and happy--and we were every one experienced Manhattan restaurant patrons. The food bill per person was $48 including service--we rounded it to $50. The drinks bill is more complicated and as a party situation not really relevant. To be honest, since it was my birthday, I didnt pay close attention.

Lunch was delicious but the service was subpar, probably because of there being only one waiter for the lunch hour. Bread wasnt brought or replenished until asked for, neither was drinks and I overheard the table next to us asking when starters were going to arrive. I know the restaurant industry is struggling and I have no ideas on how to fix this, but wanted people to know that there may be some issues. Going to another restaurant likely wont result in much better service because theyre all understaffed. So, go here if you want delicious food and dont mind subpar service.

For those of you in the neighborhood, please note that it is a nice outdoor alternative to the traffic of Broadway/Amsterdam/Columbus (street & sidewalk) as it s adjacent to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine with outdoor service on the side street, but also on Amsterdam Avenue on the weekends when the street is closed to traffic. We were happy with the food, service and atmosphere.

The restaurant was super cute and had very nice fairy lights as outdoor seating decor. Outdoor seating was actually outdoots so good for them. To be honest the food wasnt very memorable, but the price was decent for the portion. I definitely enjoyed the ambience more than the food itself. The server was kind of rude and rushing us, so thats what pushed it down a star, otherwise a decent place to check out in Morningside Heights, but I probably wouldnt go back again.

I never managed to eat here so I can t review the food. I still wanted to leave a review because of the exceptionally rude way we were treated here twice. Both times we waited a long time at the entrance while being ignored. The last time we went up to the bartender to ask whether there was a table available and he waived us away with his hand yelling at us to wait. We should have known better and not come back after the first time. It is a shame because the place looks really cute and the menu appetizing.

Its my favorite place around the neighbourhood. Its a habit for me to go there for a Sunday brunch with jazz music or a dinner. The food/drinks and coffee are delicious. The staff is friendly and always helpful. I love the european vibes and the nice decoration.

This was my first time coming here and it was it was just an otherworldly experience. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the waiter had great energy and recommended really good food. I would definitely say this is among the best restaurants in New York City

Had brunch there this past Sunday afternoon. And it was a lovely space there was a musician playing Spanish and Italian melodies with his guitar. I had the pancakes, it was so filling. I will definitely go back for dinner.

We got the Arancino and a Caesar for a snack along with some wine after viewing the cathedral next-door. The service was great - our waiter was a joy! I wish I remembered his name to give him some kudos here.

Tartina rocks! We ve been going since it opened. Tonight I had an amazing risotto with smoked mozzarella, almonds and zucchini. Such wonderful flavors and textures. The branzino in salt was amazing! Their pastas are all fresh and delicious. My personal favorite is the spaghetti nerano. Their list of specials is almost as long as the regular menu. The food and ambiance is upscale but the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Tartina!

Wowza. This place is great. I had one lunch, but can tell you this is the real deal for real Italian food, prepared with the care and quality ingredients I look for when I m in Italy. Bravo.

The food was terrible (steak looked boiled rather than grilled, the spagetti sauce tasted watered down and bland, and the risotto looked more like polenta than risotto and was inedible), and the staffs attitude did not improve the experience in any way. Overpriced and pretentious for what they serve.

Food is consistent, service has been amazing and its always a great experience! I was able to order takeout even during the height pandemic and Tartina has truly been my go to! I even hired them to cater for local hospitals in the NYC area and the hospital appreciated the meals and attention. My colleagues and I have been meeting weekly to maintain normalcy and Tartina on a Friday afternoon lunch is always a good idea. You can tell the owners and employees really care about service and customer service. This is a family owned restaurant and I love supporting them. Highly recommend!

I met a group of friends last Saturday night 11/13/2021 for dinner and the whole experience was amazing. Some of the highlights of our meal were the Rice Balls, the pasta with swordfish and Pistachios. The linguini with seafood in a lemon sauce. The hot stone Steak and the Pistachio encrusted Lamb. To top it all off the Italian Cheese cake and Tiramisu are worth every bite. I will definitely be back

Brunch was amazing! Went a while ago and still thinking about it. Have to go back soon and more often. Had the ravioli and it was so good, the fresh ingredients make a world of difference. And the pancakes for brunch... people who dont even like pancakes couldnt get enough of these! Top it off with mimosas and this is a wonderful, solid, delicious meal!

I had the grilled octopus, shrimp, and calamari. It was excellent! I had the crime brûlée for a desert and lemonade to drink. It was all fantastic. I paid $63 dollars for it. It s New York, so that s the price range you re in for good food. It goes up from here. I highly recommend this place! They had some ravioli with mushroom sauce that I really wanted to try but I was stuffed already.

Tartina is not an Italian-American restaurant that purchases red sauce in plastic 55-gallon drums. Chef Federico and Maria are real Italians and Chef Federico was trained in Italy. I would call their cuisine contemporary Italian. Some dishes I have enjoyed on multiple visits in the past year and which I would recommend include gnocchi fave e guanciale, spaghetti carbonara, anelli di crespelle, arancino and lava stone steak. Maria imported the lava stones from Italy. Maria has compiled an excellent, reasonably priced all-Italian wine list. If still available, the 2015 Torrevento primitivo from Puglia is terrific with the lava stone steak. The bar makes very good Negroni and excellent Manhattans.

My wife and I have been dining here regularly since they opened, and we ve never had a bad experience or a bad dish. Dinner and brunch are both terrific, and the service has always been very friendly. I m also happy to report that Tartina is still currently open for delivery, and the food is great as always!

I was very excited to go to a restaurant after 4 months of lockdown. However, this restaurant was not prepared as can be seen by the ill mannered servers that they have now. I went to the bathroom twice and the second time the server made an inappropriate joke about me with his buddies loud enough for me and my friend to hear. When confronted, he used the word off-joke . Please decide for yourself if wine and some italian food is worth being insulted publicly.

I rarely like every dishes being served in a place and this is one of those places. I enjoyed everything. Food were delicious, service was professional and place was clean.

Like someone else mentioned, theres no leadership in this restaurant. All tables were empty at 1:30 pm on a Wednesday and they still refused to serve me because I was going to order a cappuccino and a dessert. Nowhere did it say they had a minimum for consumption. They lost a potential client who would have gone there with friends all the time (since my sons school is nearby and I go to the area daily). Thankfully, an excellent Italian restaurant, V&T, is around the block and they got my business.

We were under the impression that the service here is in proportion to the amount of food or drinks that you order. After two rounds of inquiries of asking if we want to add more food or drinks, we were basically left alone without any service. We told the servers that we don t feel like drinks and we are ok with what we ordered. We waited 20min for our entree and it turned out we waited for nothing since it was not even in the system/not even cooked. There s no apology but instead we were asked again if we want to add another entree. The other table with customers ordered a lot of drinks/shots were served with constant attention and friendliness. My husband and I are very disappointed with the service. Just to note the busboy is very professional and nice.

Weve come here twice in three days. The food is excellent, the prices are reasonable and definitely an incentive to come back. The wine list is eclectic and innovative, with excellent taste. We had Alexey helping us and he recommended the best, little-known wines from southern Italy. We had the mushroom ravioli and spaghettini and two arancini. Perfect dinner, excellent service. A neighborhood gem. Thanks Alexey!
