Following a visit to the Quad Theater (across the street from this phenomenal restaurant), we arrived a little early for dinner reservations. The staff, however, was very accommodating and seated us early for what would be a memorable dinner.
We opted to sit inside (as opposed to on the sidewalk in the make-shift al fresco canopy) and it proved to be cooler and very comfortable. The decor is a little dark and minimal lighting from overhead fixtures and table candles challenged the eyes, a little, but our server was able to clearly relay the daily specials and answer questions about the regular menu.
Our table of three opted to share a carpaccio di manzo with arugula salad and a Caesar salad. Combined with the fresh bread and olive oil, this was a great start to the meal. Both dishes were generous in size and featured fresh and nicely seasoned ingredients. Appetizers and salads (like everything else) have become pricier, but these were flavorful and generous enough, that they are well worth the price.
Known for their fresh made pasta, I opted for the potato gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce. It was absolutely AMAZING. The little gnocchi pillows were fluffy, light, and silky smooth. The Gorgonzola sauce was perfectly balanced and this pungent cheese never overwhelmed the dish. As Bob Ross might say "these were happy little clouds of potato perfection in a creamy sauce." Spinach ravioli filled with truffle mushroom ricotta was another standout favorite. The pasta, again, was perfectly prepared and the ricotta mixture light and flavorful.
The service throughout the night was attentive and professional and the staff allowed us more than ample time to finish our drinks and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. This is simply one of the best Italian restaurants that we have enjoyed in New York.

Da Andrea is one of our neighborhood favorites; it is Italian and has entrees under $20 and has a very casual dress code (if at all) and you can make reservations for larger groups….it also has a great wine selection. This place is well known in the Village and moved to its current location because it outgrew its space on Hudson Street where it had been for many years.

We were on our way back to Brooklyn from the Meat Packing District and just were famished. Couldn't wait. I typed in Italian and Da Andrea was the closest one. We walked in and immediately felt like we had come home. Rustic and warm and inviting. It took us about 1 minute to decide on the Filetto Di Manzo: Grilled Filet Mignon, Spinach, Mashed Potato, & Truffle butter. we were surprised how quickly the food came out (15 minutes? so fast) and the filet was HOT all the way through (med rare of course). SO delicious and tender. Every part of that dish was just an adventure in savory and the truffle butter was the icing on the cake. A+++ for service, attention to detail, well crafted and presented dishes, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. We just found our new neighborhood Italian restaurant in Manhattan!

The place is small and was very busy when we got there. The food was very very good, but the place was so loud that it was very uncomfortable.
This is why I recommend you come her with your wife after a fight. The place is so loud that you can't have a conversation at your own table. So you get a great meal, took your wife to dinner AND you don't have to talk to her.
But in all seriousness, this place is louder than a Chinese train station during a mass evacuation. Food is awesome, but the atmosphere is so unpleasant that we cannot recommend you going here, at least not during peak hours. Maybe 5PM is ok

For many years I have been a devoted and happy patron of Da Andrea. Even after the family that founded the restaurant sold it, I continued to dine there and even supported the restaurant during the worst of the Covid pandemic. But my experience there last night with a friend put me off the restaurant.
Although we had a reservation, we had to wait about 20 minutes before we were seated. As we were about to sit down, a busboy emptied a glass containing candle wax and water onto the sidewalk directly in front of my chair.
After a long delay we placed our order. The first course arrived after yet another delay. But then nearly a full hour passed before we received our main course, despite our inquiries of the waiter and manager., neither of whom returned. The couple at the next table over, who were seated a few minutes after we were, had long since finished their dinner and received their check before our main course came.)
I ordered one of the daily specials, which was described as risotto with monkfish. The plate that finally arrived contained rice and chunks of tomato. I searched carefully for monkfish and found a single pebble-sized piece. When I asked the waiter what happened to the fish, he took my plate away. I thought the kitchen would add some monkfish but when he returned the waiter reported the chef said “the monkfish was mixed in.” The risotto tasted vaguely of fish ( perhaps it was used in the broth) but it was bland and did not have a creamy texture.
Not only did the waiter and manager not suggest a peace offering for having ignored and misled us, as the prior owners would have done, but they didn’t even offer an apology.
The restaurant was not equipped for the crowd last night and clearly demonstrated that they don’t value loyal, long-time customers. Since Da Andrea had been one of my favorite restaurants, my experience last night was especially disappointing.

Since we were travelling all the way from Europe, I booked a table over the phone in advance for 11 people, including 3 children aged 7, 3 and 2. I was told that for such a large party I would be obligated to take a prefixed menu of three courses because there were so many of us, which I found reasonable and to which I ultimately agreed. However, I asked if it was possible for the children to eat à la carte because I didn’t want food to go to waste. They agreed and the manager told me on the phone the menu would be 45$ each. I found the price really ok so I booked the table without hesitation.
If only I had known, I would have asked to confirm this booking in writing!!!
The three courses on the menu came straight out of their regular menu. I, for instance, had the following:
Tagliolini neri alle vongole 26.00
Squid ink tagliolini, clams, cherry tomatoes, garlic white wine
Calamaretti alla griglia 19.00
Grilled squid, corn & cucumber salad, lemon dressing
TiramisĂą 11.00
This makes up a total of 56$. Each of us had three courses, as agreed, which in total ranged in price from between 50-60$ on the regular menu. We also had three bottles of wine.
When we got our check, we almost fell off our chairs! They had counted 85$!!! for each fixed menu instead of the agreed 45$! The check was a total of 1168,90$!
When I confronted the manager, he claimed he had told me on the phone the menu would be 85$ per person. This is clearly NOT TRUE because I would never have agreed to such an expensive menu for a family of 11, for no special occasion, at a very basic Italian restaurant. (Mind you, for this price we could almost have eaten at a quality Michelin starred restaurant!) When I asked him whether I could see the price of the prefixed menu, he told me it was only based on his word and the price of the prefixed menu was not indicated anywhere.
This is not the way an honest establishment should treat its customers! By the way, should a fixed menu, based on the regular everyday dinner menu, not at least be close in price to the usual prices indicated? Where I come from, a fixed menu for such a large party, generally benefits the customer in some way because it is lower in price than the actual menu. But of course, I am talking about honest restaurateurs here and not embezzlers.
When I complained a little more vehemently he told me he was doing me a favour allowing us to let the children (may I remind you, 7, 3 and 2 years old!) eat Ă la carte. For the sake of consistency, a little sidenote: their spaghetti bolognese is 24$, and we ordered three!
All in all, a terrible experience in a deplorable establishment that obviously needs to rip off its customers to stay afloat. I understand why. Aside from the awful mismanagement of this place, the food is mediocre at best. Not to be trusted! For the love of God, do not set foot in this place!

We were in NY from out of town and staying at the Hyatt Union Square down the street. They highly recommended Da Andrea, so we gave it a try. WOW! Everything was so amazing from the bread on the table through to dessert. We shared the carpaccio and burrata salad to start, then the gorgonzola gnocchi and pasta with eggplant and spicy red sauce, and finished with the tiramisu and chocolate caramel cake. What a fabulous meal... every bite was authentic and a treat! To add to it, our server and assistant were both very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!!!

I had the absolute best dining experience at Da Andrea. The food was perfection: every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. My favorite was the grilled octopus which was crispy yet melted in your mouth. I was also incredibly impressed by the quality of service. Our server Carlos was so attentive to our table. Our wine glasses were always filled, our dirty dishes were swept away immediately, and every employee was friendly and courteous. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the ambience of a warm fall evening in NYC. It was unforgettable and I can't wait to go back next time I'm in town. Don't miss this place!

I was told this place had some of the best Italian food. Went for the spaghetti Carbonara to see how good it really is. For the life of me I don't understand the ratings: I did not get my spaghetti (al dente) but Linguini which was too al dente (I guess they used the spaghetti-al dente-time for the thicker linguini). It was drowning in thin sauce and the pancetta was a fatty bacon. I should have known when I was asked if I wanted cheese over my carbonara; any Italian cook's stomach turns when they read this (would you like some basil over your pesto sauce?). The only Italian person there was a very nice waiter, who's actions at the register were closely watched by one of the many south-asian looking gentlemen. Da Andrea?? Ma scerzo!

Our family of six enjoyed a delightful meal on a warm Saturday evening in October. We reserved an outside table, which was covered and shielded from the rain.
Everything we ordered was excellent. Highlights: fresh baked "tigelle" buns with Parma prosciutto and various pasta dishes. The prosciutto melted in our mouths. Our waiter recommended the Barolo, which was a nice red wine (light enough to be enjoyed by even those in our party who don't like a full-bodied red). The gelato and sorbet were outstanding.
Service was professional and attentive. We were asked for proof of Covid vaccine and photo ID upon entering (which was very reassuring for us). At 9 p.m. (when we had been there for about 2 hours), the host kind of hurried us along since he had a party waiting for our table. He was very gracious about it.

Last night Da Andrea was not the best. The food was reliably good, but we felt rushed the entire meal. There was no lag time btw courses. We told them we hadn’t yet looked at the menu when we had been seated for one minute, but less than a minute had passed before the waiter was there again. I will say the waiter topped off my coffee but the policy must be another five dollar charge for another cup of coffee. We have been there for many times too

I'm giving this one a five because we experienced great food and excellent service in a gorgeous setting. That's enough for me~ First, this review is based on a Sunday brunch experience. Second, we ate in the outside heated space, which one sees all over the city now. It was beautifully decorated and, although a very cold day, we were totally comfortable. I had the lobster benedict, which was two perfectly prepared eggs on a lobster "cake" and a really good hollandaise. Others had the polenta and eggs and two different pastas, which I tasted. The truffle pasta was amazing. We were immediately brought a basket of wonderful bread when we sat down and the service was attentive throughout. There were very few people sitting in the outdoor area and more arrived as time went by, but it never felt crowded. I don't know what it's like inside. The decor is gorgeous. I also loved that our waiter was really Italian and I could speak to him in Italian. Buonissimo!

Made a reservation a week ago; our reservation was for last night (Sat-Jan-20) at 8:15. We arrived shortly before 8:15, but had to wait 40+ minutes for a table, outside in the freezing cold, along with several others who also had reservations. Apparently, the outside dining section clients did not want to sit outside, so management moved them indoors, which completely threw off the reservations - bad management. When we finally got seated, the food was mediocre at best (for example, the fettuccine dish was mostly sauce and hardly any fettuccine). Won't go back and don't recommend.

When I see the reviews from people saying they had a spectacular meal here I have to wonder if we were in the same restaurant. I would not go so far as to say the food is horrible; I would, however, go so far as to say it was underwhelming. The best dish was the grilled vegetable appetizer, which had a lovely presentation and great depth of flavor. The grilled jumbo shrimp were average in flavor and lacked the grill flavor one is looking for (no grill marks could actually be detected). The saffron sauce for the shrimp was flavorless and did nothing to enhance the shrimp, since anything flavorless is incapable of enhancing what it is paired with. The puff pastry the shrimp were sitting atop was another flavorless addition to the plate - perhaps a smidge of polenta or risotto or truffled mashed potato would be a better base for the shrimp. The Caesar salad was decent but certainly nothing to brag about, and the cutlet specials two of my friends had were okay but lacked finesse in their presentation. Service was on the slow side but not horrible. As a frequent visitor to NYC I can't see dining here again since there are so many other options.

Really good food. The bread was very good as were the 2 salads. We had main dishes of seafood in tomato broth with pasta, steak with vegetables and potatoes and a special of pasta with lobster in a mushroom sauce.
We had a desert of 3 sorbets and another of apple cake with ice cream. They also gave us almond cookies for free. Service was also very friendly. You sit outside. The restaurant is on a side street. Highly recommended!
