First time here based on a recommendation and glad we took the advice. The food and service were excellent. The linguine with clams was one of the best I have ever had. The crab cakes and lobster ravioli were also very good! Nice wine selection but bottles could benefit from some light chilling/temperature control. Overall very happy! -

Very small place with excellent service. We got 2 specials of the night, branzino and octopus salad and they were one of the best weve ever had. Didnt care for crab cakes, too oily. -

Bricola is a cozy classy gem in my neighborhood, which I highly recommend, with a warm, proud staff, a formidable wine selection and great food. Pictured is the steak, a special that day which was excellent.Bricola can be easy on the wallet (which may not seem obvious at a casual glance) if you choose, but the wine and desserts are too tempting to be constrained by frugality. Especially their cheesecake. Many many thanks to Liubov for inviting me in all those months back. I hope to become a regular. -

A very traditional and worthwhile selection of Italian dishes. The price is perfect. Meatball is impressive to me. The cheesecake is worth mentioning! The cheese they used was very unique, fresh, and suitable. I was very impressed. I believe that this cheesecake has no competition at the same or double price point. -

I am forever grateful for this recommendation. What a gem!! I keep going back here for the food and such friendly staff! Feels like such a nice, cozy oasis/getaway in Hell’s Kitchen. I am that person that will always order the same thing, but had to try their latest special! Veal chop with mashed potatoes and asparagus in a mushroom sauce. YUMMMMM! Run don’t walk while it’s on the menu. Also always order the following starters: eggplant goat cheese, lamp chop lollipops, warm octopus salad.. actually just order everything on the appetizers menu. You won’t regret it!!! -

Love the vibe of this place! Its very small with a long shared table which makes it fun to chat with your neighbors. When visiting cities we prefer to choose local places like this vs. the touristy restaurants where everyone goes.The food, drinks, wine and staff were great. We shared the caesar, orecchiette, and mussels. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend for 2 -4, not for larger groups. -

Truly a hidden gem. This good was incredible and you will leave here feeling stuffed. We ordered everything off the specials menu. Started with the grilled octopus salad app watch was perfectly cooked, truffle gnocchi which was melt in your mouth delicious, and the lamb shank with an herb risotto. The risotto by itself was ok but paired with the lamb and the sauce, it was the perfect compliment. The seafood risotto was also very good. Cute and cozy vibes, the GM Mark took very good care of us. We will absolutely be back. -

My friend just came back from Italy and decided we should catch up at Briciola. We sat outside to enjoy the weather and the waiters were pleasant. We started with wine which are very delicious but I wish they let us taste it before bringing the glasses it’s a wine bar, I don’t think that would be much. The food were delicious and for me the lamb shank risotto was delicious. A place to be but will advise you ask for a taste when selecting your wine. -

Always a good dinner experience! We had the minestrone soup, penne pesto, eggplant and roasted potatoes. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were shareable. Would recommend the place if youre in the area! -

Came here with two friends because one of them visited before and loved it.There is an outside area, a bar area, and a dining area. The dining area is small and the bar area decor is casual. The ambiance really does make me think I’m in Italy. It’s cozy and I do feel that you can spend a lot of time here. I would keep in mind that the area by the bar is a bit narrow and the dining room is a bit small as well.We had Alex as our server and he was very friendly. I had an Aperol spritz. It personally wasn’t my favorite. My appetizer was the lamb chops and my gosh. These lamb chops were amazing!For our mains, we ordered the special lamb shank risotto, I ordered the Rigatoni e Gamberi, and Steak special. I wanted to order the Lamb, but since I’m not a mashed potato eater I couldn’t get it. The lamb was DELICIOUS! I also liked my friends steak. When it came to my Rigatoni, it was a bit dry and lackluster. I was a bit sad.We finished with the Tiramisu and it was delicious!In all, I feel like Briciola excels with their meat-based meals. I would recommend this as a casual date whether it be with friends or a significant other.I see so many good reviews on the pasta, so I wouldn’t mind trying it again. -

We have visited this restaurant twice because the food tasted fabulous. On the first evening we were able to get a table outside in the enclosed provisionary seating. It was great and we were protected from the cold wind. We were the only hetero couple in the venue, but we quickly got to talk with the people on the next table and we had a blast. They were so nice and funny. The waitress also was really nice and pleasant. On the second visit we were late and the outside seating was full. We got a place at the bar. Since the door was always open, the cold wind constantly was on my back and Im still surprised I didnt get a cold. I needed a hot shower afterwards to warm up again. Anyway, all of the dishes we ordered were stunningly good. The octopus was the best I ever had. -

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Briciola, an exquisite restaurant closed to Lincoln Center and Broadway. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, staff attentive. I seated at the communal table and had a great time chatting with people sitting next to me.I started with octopus salad. For the main course, I opted for the Fettuccine ai Funghi. Every bite was a harmonious blend of savory flavors, and the portion size was generous. For the dessert, I couldn’t resist trying the tiramisu. It was the perfect finale to a satisfying dining experience. -

Went here in a whim for a late lunch with my daughter. The full restaurant seating isn’t available until near dinner time but the counter seating with prompt, friendly greetings added to the experience.Everything was really tasty served piping hot. Then only thing I missed was not being able to order pizza for lunch but the bruschetta was close enough and certainly enjoyed.If your in the Hell’s Kitchen area, I’d recommend this place with enthusiasm. Great value! -

This is such a beautiful, intimate and well kept restaurant, we sat outside on the street since it was warm outside and the staff were so attentive though it was busy, and the lights outside looked really good. We will definitely visit here again. 100% recommended.Amazing selection of wines.Some of the best Lobster Ravioli. 5 stars. Thank you for having us. -

Review 21 (2022-03-28 - Rating: 5)
Picked this italian eatery based on its location and it was a lovely experience. I would have to rate it highly regardless of the food since the staff was kind enough to let my companion and I sit there for hours (nearly 4) chatting away without buying anything close to 4 hours worth of food. They were attentive but we never felt pressured to order more or to leave so that was wonderful. The decor is intimate and inviting, as others have said, itd be a great date night locale. We dont have any mobility issues but this wouldnt be an ideal spot for anyone that isnt comfortable sitting on stools for a long time and potentially being elbow to elbow with other patrons. I went with the truffle gnocchi special and loved it. It was a generous portion, had great textures, a nice amount of truffle flavor and truffle and was an ode to cheese. Not sure if its been reimagined since other reviewers tried it but it was definitely a hit today. The shrimp rigatoni was also appreciated and our wines were tasty. I was surprised they dont do any coffee at all (so we got more wine instead), but that would be a welcome addition to the menu. -

Was able to get a seat by the bar. Good selection of wines, great staff and wonderful food. Had their squid ink pasta with tomato sauce and seafood special, and had it with some wonderful wine recommendations. I would definitely come back again. -

Cute little Italian restaurant with a good variety of pasta options. Outdoor seating with a few bar seats indoors. Staff is very nice & accommodating, but the charcuterie board was underwhelming. A bit expensive imo. Dessert was probably the best course. -

Wow! Loved the vibe of the place overall and the food was fantastic! Even after we were full from the delicious pasta and salads, we couldnt resist getting a second helping of the cheesecake! So amazing! Couldnt have enough! -
Review 26 (2021-11-13 - Rating: 4)
Cute place with great food. I really enjoyed with appetizers, actually more than the main course. Definitely need to try the burrata and the crab and shrimp cakes. Our main was the risotto ai funghi(special of the night) which was great and the lobster ravioli with pink sauce which was ok, nothing special and a little underwhelming. Other than that, great experience definitely coming back. -
Review 27 (2024-08-28 - Rating: 5)
I absolutely adore the vibe here! And, of course, the food too! The specials are always spot on—seriously, the risotto and burrata practically melt in my mouth. I’m convinced they’ve got a secret ingredient called ‘magic’ in the kitchen! -
Review 28 (2021-10-05 - Rating: 5)
I visited for the first time to enjoy my birthday dinner with friends. We were immediately seated, even though we were a bit early for our reservation, which wasn’t expected but was certainly nice! I had previously read amazing reviews about the pasta here, and it was BEYOND what I expected. The absolute best I’ve ever had. We also had a charcuterie board, and our waitress even went out of her way to put extra of my favorite cheese on the board. The drinks were fabulous, and I loved the cheesecake (and the birthday sparkler)! Thank you for an amazing evening. I can’t wait to come back! -
Review 29 (2022-12-11 - Rating: 4)
Very nice staff but the food is not more than mediocre. The burrata was nothing special - it was carelessly arranged on a bed of subpar prosciutto. The bruschetta was too oily and without any finesse of taste.The pasta was good though.When you order a single malt whisky you dont even get to know the name of it (and regarding the taste and smell it could have been only a substandard product). -

Love this Italian restaurant in NYC. I’ve been here a couple of times while visiting. Great service and delicious food. The burrata appetizer and black truffle gnocchi (special) was unreal and I’m still thinking about it. Good wine selection as well. -

Review 33 (2024-09-17 - Rating: 5)
We spotted this place on a stroll through Hell’s Kitchen and liked the menu and setting so we booked a table. It’s quite a small place with a shared high table inside, seats at the bar and a number of covered tables outside. We sat inside at the shared table. There’s a nice calm and relaxing ambience inside. We originally intended to explore the Cichetti menu, but they had a great selection of specials including Octopus salad and Branzino which caught our attention. We ordered these along with crab and shrimp cake. Food was delicious, especially the Octopus salad. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. They have a nice selection of Italian wine to complement the food. We really enjoyed our meal and evening and will definitely return on our next trip to NYC. -

Delicious food, Lovely atomosphere, small but cozy Italian restaurant. We went before opening, and in case of going early and seating 1-2 people no rsvp is required (though I recommend anyways). Tall bar seats and everyone sits on one long table. You can place bags in the nice cubby behind you. They do NOT serve coffee and was surprised after the meal!! Grilled octopus was really great and recommend. The place is small and table is high so NOT recommend for wheelchair, and not really a buggy and toddler place (unless maybe you call and they welcome it). Would go again early lunch but without kids if I ever such chance. Nice service. -

The service was quick, and I appreciated the variety of seating options—you can choose between dining outdoors, at the bar, or at a communal table. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the wine selection was exquisite. My only complaint is the cooking of the pasta; it was slightly overcooked, and given that it was a fungi dish, a more precise texture would have been ideal. However, the flavor was very good overall. -

We wandered into Briciola after seeing a show for a late dinner and loved it! We were quickly seated at the bar in their intimate restaurant with soft candle lighting, wine bottles everywhere, prosciutto hanging from the ceiling, and delicious smells wafting over us. The grilled octopus salad was tasty, and both the lasagna and tortellini hit the spot. Loved this tiny Italian restaurant. -

We ate at Bricola for a light and late dinner. We had the Tuna Tartare, Cheese and Meat Platter and the Tiramisu. All were excellent and the restaurant had a very charming and cozy atmosphere. We really appreciated being able to find somewhere still taking orders and serving just after 11pm - our connecting flight out of JFK was canceled and we were unexpectedly in New York for the evening. Recommend and would return. -

A fantastic little Italian restaurant on the corner of the street in Hell’s Kitchen area. I originally found this restaurant on TikTok before traveling from the UK and pre-booked. We are at around 5pm and by 6 the outside seating was full with a lovely family friendly atmosphere. The menu was generous and greatly priced, with daily specials being offered for plenty of choice. The inside wine collection is also incredible. -

On our trip to NYC weve been to a few different restaurants but this one has been the best. Briciola was recommended to us by a friend who is a local and for good reason. This Italian eatery is a little hole in the wall that you might miss walking by. I started with a fantastic cocktail, I had the bolognese as my entree, and the tiramisu for dessert. Absolutely everything was delicious! All of the staff we interacted with were very pleasant. Our amazing server was Lou and she had an wonderful bubbly personality and was very helpful with the menu, including giving detailed descriptions on all of the specials. This is definitely a hidden gem and I will 100% be back next time Im in the city. -
Review 62 (2023-06-18 - Rating: 4)
Very good and some dishes are at a great price mark. I enjoy the outdoor seating, which is less cramped than the trendy but tiny indoor space.The service, however, is very hit or miss. Last time I ordered sparkling water and received tap water, & tried to order an appetizer while I waited (I was pretty much the only customer at this point) but the server wouldnt take the order until.I ordered more. I think that in general (not that day), they are understaffed, but its still frustrating. Today, I ordered 4 tapas size dishes and a glass of wine for myself and a friend. We got two dishes because the server thought, without us saying so, that we needed more time to order (more than four dishes?) So after almost an hour, I asked where my wine and the other two dishes were, only to learn that she never put them in but had never returned to ask if we were ready to order either.I like this place quite a bit and I will return but my evening was sort of ruined today. -

Octopus salad was amazing. Pasta was good. I enjoyed their thanksgiving menu. Wine selection has some interesting choices (in a good way, with some wines I didnt recognize from the standard several types you see everywhere). This place is warm and intimate, and has a small dining area, but I count that as part of the charm. I really enjoyed my time there, and the servers were friendly and attentive. -

Mushroom pasta was decadent. The eggplant appetizers that was rolled with cheese and marinara another delicious surprise. Pear salad was fresh and crisp. Cozied up to the bar around 5. Was lucky to grab 3 seats. Small but quaint. Friendly hostess and waitstaff. Attentive. Wine list is tastefully selected and expansive. -

I would say a 4 1/2 stars.Came here for dinner and had a good time. I had the risotto (special of the day for $27) and it was delicious. Staff was friendly and very attentive, but still missed something to make it completely unforgettable. Totally recommend if you are looking for a nice and casual place to go. -

Briciola Restaurant is an absolute gem! My recent visit left me thoroughly impressed. The charcuterie board they offer is a work of art - a delightful assortment of cheeses, cured meats, and perfectly paired accompaniments. Each bite was a flavor explosion!But what truly sets Briciola apart is their top-notch staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a valued guest. They were knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and provided attentive service throughout the evening.To top it off, the prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service. Briciola has become my go-to spot for an exquisite dining experience that won’t break the bank. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings. Highly recommended! 🍽️👏 -

Atmosphere was fantastic and Liu was phenomenal. Energetic, delightful and very knowledgeable of all the menu items. Lobster ravioli was the best I’ve ever had, good portion for the price, pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce….the sauce was absolutely delicious. Mozzarella saporiita was a must add for appetizer. The tiramisu was quite honestly, unbelievably good and the chocolate soufflé was the big hit of the table. . So happy that we stumbled on this gem. -

A real gem of a place in Hell’s Kitchen. It’s really small inside so the outside seating is a real boon. It’s not much for decor but the food is great and our server was really friendly. We started with grilled eggplant with goat cheese. Super tasty, and quite filling. Next we had scampi with roasted garlic and olive oil. Big scampis with lots of olive oil for bread dipping. The caesar salad had lots of fresh grated cheese and anchovies. We tried 4 pastas for sharing. My favourites were the Tagliatelle Bolognese and the special lobster ravioli. The Linguine Vongole was nice and light. The Rapini was a bit plain, not as good as our other dishes. Prices were quite reasonable and portions generous. Our party of four was very full after our meal. It’s definitely worth a return visit.Drop me a comment or a like if you found this helpful. -

Fantastic Italian restaurant away from Times Square but still with in walking distance. There is seating at the bar and the restaurant seating is one room with a single long table in the middle. The walls around the table are surrounded by wines and the front window looks out to the street. Great ambience and atmosphere and despite it only being a single table, we found it quite enjoyable talking with the couple seated beside us. The grilled octopus was amazing and so were all of our pasta dishes. To order you circle the items you want on the menu, which I found nice since I would have butchered the names of the dishes. Will definitely return to on our next visit. -

You can either sit at the bar or in the adjacent room at a long high-top table. The food is out of this world. I went with my family and we ordered the Gorgonzola Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Speck, Ravioli Ricotta (in a Parmesan Cream Sauce with Spinach), Buffalo Mozzarella with Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Basil, and the Gnocchi in a Truffle Cream Sauce. All were phenomenal. I cant recommend one dish, I have to recommend all. -

Really pleasant food, service, atmosphere and a good value. Great free bread service and they were flexible about changing menu items for us.

I really like the design if this place. Friendly staff helping you with your selection of food and wine also added to the experience. Im not all that familiar with Mac and cheese so I thought, if Im gonna try it, I might as well try in in a good restaurant, known for making a killer version of this well known comfort food. Not disappointed, the Mac n cheese with black truffle out of the oven was to die for, really good experience. The risotto was also great! -

Briciola is the best but Liu and the staff make the experience that much more special! We discovered the restaurant back in fall 2021 and have continued to come back frequently with friends and family. I hosted a birthday dinner at Briciola a few weeks ago and the team went so above and beyond to make it a special night that we are still reminiscing about weeks later. We have yet to try a dish we haven’t liked here but highly recommend the pecorino e kale salad, meatballs, and stewed calamari to start. You can’t go wrong with any of the pastas but we love the bolognese, baked mac and cheese with truffle, and pesto pasta with artichokes. Briciola is also so great with allergies and can accommodate any allergies or dietary restrictions within your group. We will keep coming back and have loved every meal at Briciola with Liu and team! -

TL;DR - decent food, felt like a sardine, more packed than economy class on an Asian airline.Ordered a variety of pastas and small plates, didnt have any complaints about any of the dishes, though nothing stood out either (except maybe the Crostini Porchetta). Wait staff were courteous and while the bathroom is small, even by NYC standards, it was decently clean.The real kicker is that this place only has 1 bar and 1 communal table...which means youre bumping elbows with people next to you. If youre down to meet new people then no problem, but if youre hoping to have an intimate 1 on 1, expect to hear and feel everyone around you. I didnt personally have a problem with this since my seat neighbors were all on the petite side but if youve got anything more than a dad bod, expect otherwise. -

This is my favourite restaurant in NYC. Small and hidden away, it would be hard to know this place is here. It brings the same menu as its sister-restaurant, Aria in west village. Everything on the menu is fantastic. i mean everything. you cannot go wrong. Nothing over $16 (except specials), all share plates. The wine list is the same, theyre all great.The staff are an interesting mix - the latinos in the kitchen are non-stop. In full view of everyone, with very limited light and in a tiny space they create such amazing food. very impressive. The waitresses are always polite and nimble, moving through the tiny space with ease as if no one was there, and the manager, who is generally behind the bar, is a great character. you get all his French vibe at first but he is very accommodating and cares about the quality of your experience.The families who own this restaurant do such a fantastic job with all their restaurants, but Bricciola is my fav. -

Good spot for small bites! Started with grilled octopus salad, had the Mozzarella Pomodoro Basilico and tried the Ravioli Ricotta. Star of the night was the octopus. Grilled perfectly to a crispy outside and a soft and melty inside. The Mozz was on par but not impressive and the ravioli was a bit bland for a cheese heavy dish but the menu calls for subtle tastes. Packed place but doesnt feel too cramped. Tiramisu was ok. -

Cute little Italian place in the middle of NYC. It’s not exactly just like in Firenze or Roma but close enough for another continent. We loved the beef carpaccio and the lobster ravioli.

Great service, LOVED the octopus salad!!! The spaghetti with meatballs was way too salty, but delicious. Wish they didnt make it so salty. On the other hand, the truffle gnocchi was pricey and nothing special about it but that it tasted like gnocchi with lots of cheese and cream. We went at about 4:30, but it started getting really crowded, sitting elbow to elbow with strangers, nowhere to put purse.The meal felt overpriced for what it really was. The octopus salad was the only thing that I might want from what we ate here. -
