BATTELLO REVIEWS

We loved coming in here! The restaurant and the view were stunning and the food was delicious. Our server, Trina, was amazing as well. We got the burrata (with strawberry balsamic reduction and asparagus emulsion) for our appetizer and I think it might have been my favorite thing in the whole meal. For our entrees, I got the cacio e Pepe and my husband got the buttermilk chicken. But we’re so so good and we literally eat everything off our plates. For drinks, we got a margarita and the Autumn Tides which I loved. We will for sure be coming back.

Quick PATH or ferry ride from Manhattan, and pleasant stroll along the waterfront will bring you to this excellent restaurant looking east toward the city. Very popular with reservations strongly recommended. The service was very good. And the food was excellent; with options for all eating preferences.

Our recent visit to Battello to celebrate my mother‘s birthday, was truly exceptional. The food was not only fresh and fragrant but also meticulously prepared. Our server, Tammy, provided over-the-top service, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our meal. Carmine, the manager also added a personal touch that elevated the dining experience. I would highly recommend.

ROMAN NOSE REVIEWS

Really cozy and nice Italian restaurant. Homemade pasta (and you can really notice the difference). We had the Tagliatelle with Mushrooms and the Spaghetti with Shrimp. Both were fantastic options. Their menu has many options to accommodate different preferences. The staff is very friendly and nice. Alvaro - our waiter - was so nice and helpful. If you are craving some Italian, this is a great choice.

If you are looking for Italian food, Roman Nose is a good option. The menu offers a wide variety of classic Italian dishes, from pasta to pizza. The pasta dishes are particularly noteworthy, pasta is made in-house and serve al dente. We try the Tagliatelle ai funghi and the spaghetti a la carbonara and both were good. I got high expectations for the tiramisu (there is so many reviews about it) and was fine, but nothing extraordinary. The service at was good, about 20 minutes to serve the food. Credit cards accepted.

AMAZING FOOD! The margarita pizza was sooo good (not pictured). Service could of been better, however I've only been once so I don't know if it was just our server or what. Everything was very fresh and delicious! A must try.

LAICO’S REVIEWS

Really great place! It's been around for 52 years, same family has owned it the whole time. The food is tasty (especially the eggplant and chicken parmesans) and the prices are reasonable. Parking is very difficult but you can leave it with the valet (just plan on tipping him, that wasn't something I realized having never used a valet before and it was awkward to try to find a cash app that we both had) so don't let that scare you. It's an awesome experience and everyone is incredibly friendly. Great vibes. You should definitely go.

Delicious food, friendly and efficient service, small family atmosphere. The valet parking was welcome as it's a neighborhood establishment with very little available street parking. Highly recommend you to visit.

This place is a must!! The food is so good and freshly cooked. The chicken parm and eggplant parm are amazing.
