I'm a HARD critic to please, especially when it comes to Italian food. This experience was spectacular from top to bottom. Even though the artichoke dish wasn't for me, everything else was so good that it didn't matter. Outstanding food, outstanding service, and a restaurant that absolutely lives up to the hype.
the appetizers were great. the prosciutto and burrata was really fresh. the meatballs were the best bite. the mains were just ok, pretty average fra diavolo, it wasn’t very spicy. it had more of a subtle sweet shrimp flavor. the chicken parm was good, though wish it came with a side as the plate was rather bare.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tucchi, and it was easily one of the most impressed I’ve been with a restaurant in a long time. The space offers two distinct vibes: the upstairs is quiet and elegantly refined, while the downstairs is fun and vibrant—perfect depending on what kind of night you're looking for. The Standout Service The service wasn't just good; it was incredible. We had a small mishap where our waiter accidentally knocked over a bottle of water. Before we could even react, the entire table setting was replaced in seconds. To top it off, they brought out two complimentary appetizers to apologize for the "inconvenience." That level of attentiveness and grace is rare to find. The Food The kitchen is firing on all cylinders. The portions are surprisingly generous, which is a refreshing change for a place of this caliber. The Hits: The pork chops were a massive highlight—perfectly cooked and very satisfying. For starters, the artichokes, burrata, and calamari were all absolutely amazing. The Secret Weapon: Do not skip the side order of potatoes. They were quite possibly the best-tasting potatoes I’ve ever had in my life. One Small Note: My only minor complaint was the cheesecake. While delicious, it was missing the nuts mentioned in the menu description. Final Verdict Despite the tiny dessert hiccup, the combination of the atmosphere, the generous portions, and the "above and beyond" service makes Tucchi a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back—mostly for those potatoes!
Tucci was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in New York City. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm, elegant, and beautifully designed, creating such a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The space itself is stunning and sets the tone for a very elevated Italian experience. Every detail, from the lighting to the interior, feels intentional and sophisticated. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can really feel the attention to detail in every dish. What made the experience even more special was the hospitality. The team was gracious, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the evening. A must-visit in SoHo for anyone looking for a chic, upscale Italian restaurant in NYC. I will absolutely be coming back.
It’s a “meh” restaurant. Not likely to return. We ordered the chicken parm & salmon. Surprised that it came with no sides, usually restaurants serve it with something. Disappointed our server didn’t even mention that we can add a side. The salmon tasted nice, but the chicken was dry and tough. Cheese was great. The cheesecake tasted weird. It had a tangy taste, almost like a cream cheese & Greek yogurt blend. The tiramisu was also meh. It lacked flavour depth. Definitely not worth the calories. Left the restaurant, and not too long after, my stomach wasn’t feeling great! Maybe the cheesecake was indeed bad.
