Osteria Barocca Little Italy

“This place was exactly what we were looking for that evening. Food was excellent. Ordered mostly from the specials. Cocktails were well balanced. Steak tartar with shaved truffles was very nice. Slighly larger chunks of meat just FYI incase you don't like that. Servers were very attentive and polite. Different brand of sparkling water, would have loved Sanpellegrino instead. Over all excellent place. Would definitely return.”

“If you’re looking for incredible Italian food and an even better bar experience in NYC, you have to visit Osteria Barranca. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, the food is absolutely delicious, and the service truly makes the place stand out. A huge shoutout to the bartenders, Eddie and Angel — hands down the best in the city. They’re not only talented behind the bar but also genuinely welcoming and attentive. Every drink is perfectly crafted, and they make the whole experience feel personal and fun. Whether you’re ordering a classic cocktail or asking for a recommendation, they always get it right. It’s rare to find a place where the food, drinks, and hospitality all hit the mark, but Osteria Barranca delivers every time. If you’re in New York and want amazing Italian cuisine with top-tier bartenders, this is the spot.”

“This is a really cute place to come to. Customer service was out the roof if I could give more stars I would. Everyone was welcoming, Eddie and Juan were amazing waiters and made us feel welcome. Checking in the entire time and making sure the food was good. The drinks are to die for. 10/10 would definetly recommend”

“The food was incredible. The cheese, from the burrata to the Parmesan, seafood (octopus and swordfish), and pasta were all unusually high quality and well cooked. The wait staff were friendly and attentive, removing plates when needed without interrupting conversation and offering water and wine refills when appropriate. Eddy checked in several times without being overbearing and offered food and drink recommendations. The interior was beautiful, intimate, and cozy. There was even a Christmas brass quintet that came in and played music (I don't think they were affiliated with the restaurant).”

“The only reason this restaurant doesn’t get 5 stars is I don’t like being talked into a restaurant. HOWEVER I’m so glad I did. I have travelled the world and extensively in Italy, but this restaurant provided me with the best pasta I have ever eaten. Perfect texture, al dente and omg the best! So let the guys get you into this restaurant and enjoy the quality of food they provide. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
