Reviews for Piacere in New York, NY
Excellent food, great service and wine. This place is a gem.
Was introduced to this wonderful place by a good friend and now has become our go-to spot for authentic and delicious Italian... cuisine. This intimate and cozy restaurant has long tables big enough for large gatherings of 6-8 people. It also has smallertables as well for couples and group of 4. The ambience and music are the cherry on top of this place. I love how when you walkin you can see the pizza oven blazing away. The bar is to the left where one of the co-owners are normally there chatting awayand serving drinks to guests. The staff treats you so well here. We ordered burrata and speck to share. For the mains I got theSpaghetti with bottarga [shaved aged cod roe] with chili lemon- orange zest. It was a perfect. Citrusy and creamy with a punchedof umami flavor coming from the bottarga. Afterwards we got a wonderful surprise of having a lovely chocolate panna cotta onthe house. [They don't do it often but sometimes you get lucky] TLDR This is a wonderful little gem worth going to andeverything on the menu from the food to the drinks are made with perfection. Read more
Great food, great ambiance, great service. One of my favorite Italian spots. Gnocchi and pizza were good, dessert was great... too! Note that they only take cash and amex. Read more
I choose Piacere for my birthday dinner, during my vacation trip. In one word; this place was PERFECTION. Perfect food, music,... staff. Eddie, our server, was fantastic, he helped me with a special request. Everything was absolutely delicious. We gotmeatballs, seafood spaghetti, rugula salad with pear, diavola pizza (Yes we eat a lot :P) and the chocolate soufflé fordessert! I will continue posting my boyfriend happy face in those reviews. We can’t wait to come back! It Read more

The food is ok. No complaints but pretty much regular for the price and for being an authentic Italian restaurant. Unfortunately... when we asked for the check they said they didn’t accept the major credit cards except Amex. They said if we want we could usetheir ATM to get some cash. The problem is, nobody told us beforehand about that and we double checked the place (apraxia Louwhole leaving) and there’s no sign alerting about that either. I really didn’t like that. Specially because going to the ATMcost me extra fees. I’ve seen other reviews about that here but thought it was a point in time only. Anyways not coming again. Read more
The service started as we walked up to the restaurant. We were greeted and brought to our table. It was raining so we couldn't... enjoy the patio but the big open front made for a very wonderful experience. It's a cozy space in all the right ways, nice bigtables for groups and smaller ones for two. The wine selection included a great variety without an overwhelming amount ofchoice. The waiter was also helpful with the wine selection. We both ordered pasta and honestly it was perfect. Excellent sauce,incredible toppings and perfectly cooked. If your travels cross paths with Piacere, walk in, you will be so glad you did! Read more
Staff were super nice and accommodating, but the food was sub-par. We expected a lot more for the price The carpaccio was... bland. The pasta came undercooked (and not just al dente, but actually crispy raw) and had to be returned for more cooking. TheRapini in the sauce was way too bitter, and made the dish unedible. The carbonara was decent. The afumicata pizza was fine, butnothing more. All the dishes were also relatively small. Read more
