We've always enjoyed this place...nice atmosphere....good food...attentive service. It can get noisy though but not unlike so many NYC restaurants. The great news is they now take all major credit cards. We had stopped going there because they only took American Express and too many times people in our group didn't carry that card. more

Consideing this restaurant is in NYC, the menu is reasonably priced. It is a friendly place but can be a bit noisy at times. Great wine list. Service is very attentive without being a nuisance. Get a table by the window to people watch as you dine. Italian cuisine. Overall a very good value. more

It is hard to go out and have a nice conversation with friends!! The ambiance is lovely! The prices are really good! Our service was very good! Food above average. So all... more

I decided to give Puttanesca a second chance, thinking maybe I experienced it on a bad night when I was last there last year. Nope. It was even worse this time. Bad service. Bad food. And did I say BAD SERVICE?! I've learned my lesson. It will not take a third strike for me to strike this one off my... more

Puttanesca is a fine restaurant. I go to New York several times a year and have a large circle of family and friends. I have consistently met with them at Puttanesca because the service is good, the classic Italian American menu is varied enough to suit everyone from vegans to steak eaters, the food is of consistent high quality and... more

no thanks
