Tre Otto

Had the chicken cutlet panini, crunchy potatoes with aioli, and a glass chianti. Everything was properly crispy and delicious. Service was very attentive and the space is very inviting. On a cold day sit towards the back, it’s warmer.

Cute lunch spot. Bar is spacious and service was good. Menu is full of options and quality matches price here. A reliable spot for a filling meal and comfortable environment

Lunch was delicious (Caprese and Octopus salad). While the restaurant was very crowded, the staff — who were kind and welcoming — were also very slow. Also, if one is paying close to $ 100.00 for lunch, a cloth napkin would be very welcome.

I have based this rating on the sub-​par service my friend and I received yesterday. We sat down and were served our glasses of wine immediately. Waiters were racing back and forth in front of me, but no one came back to take our order for at least 20 minutes. In fact, I had to flag someone down to place an order. Then, there was another long wait for our appetizers: my artichoke was tasty but so hot (must have gone into a microwave) that I couldn’t eat it for 10 minutes. Then we waited 30 minutes for the main course (we each ordered 2 appetizers so these were quick, simple dishes). And we waited another 30 minutes after finishing for the check! This service was as bad as any I’ve ever received anywhere. The waiters were friendly-​we were just clearly lowest on their totem pole. Will not return.

Lovely restaurant. Pretty/​nice ambiance; very friendly/​nice/​fast staff. Bread for the table was delicious. Had the margarita pizza, and really enjoyed it. I’d definitely come back. My only complaint was that my mom got an eggplant dish, and while she enjoyed it, at $ 22 or so, it seemed too expensive for the size and content of the dish.

Came here for lunch with a couple of UK friends — and we loved it. The food is delicious, the owner was so lovely, told us about her family and the history and the ice cream and tiramisu were amazing. i will definitely return, even though it is quite far from my part of town.
Thank you for a lovely experience

Tre Otto is located in a «no man’s land» above 96^th Street near Mount Sinai Hospital, but there are actually people who live around there (me!) and who work (medical field, museums,…) so it’s great to have it back after the fire that hit them a couple years ago. I love the food (Italian) and it’s reasonably priced. The front room has more light and is more bistro like. I was surprised by the back room, more like a pub, but it’s probably a good space for groups. Overall a great restaurant in the neighborhood that is worth the detour for sure. It is so close to Central Park that you can plan a walk around the Reservoir after, a siesta on the North Lawn, or a visit to the Museum of the City of New York or the Museo del Barrio. I really recommend this place.

Good pastas. Has been consistent.
Best app is the calamari.
Wait staff tends to be a little inattentive-​especially during rush hours.

A truly enjoyable experience with food that was delicious and savory, plated nicely and complimented excellently by a delicious sangria. I highly suggest trying it!
The waitstaff was exceedingly friendly and helpful when questions were asked about items on the menu. I loved the rice balls and the pizza I tried (gorgonzola cheese? AH-​Mazing!).
I can’t wait to go back and next time, bring some friends!

PASTA!!! It is freshly made in house and it has brought back all my memories from a trip to Italy a few years back. Just don’t go between 3−5PM as they have a limited snack menu and do not serve the amazing pasta dishes.
Spaghetti marinara is what my companion had and he still talks about 3 weeks later. I had the dish with the duck ragu — AMAZING!
We will be back very soon.

Loved the food. Inside was nice. Waiter was great. Don’t have anything bad to say.
I had spinach ravioli and the sauce was amazing.
My friend had a clam spaghetti she loved hers too.

Tre Otto is our local eatery. Completely reliable for a fantastic Tuscan meal. Duck Ragu is top of the line. Serves probably the best burger I’ve had in NY. Good range of wines by the glass too. And not too pricy. Throughly recommend.
PLUS they now deliver!

Extensive list of wines by the glass — my Arneis Roero was lovely, vibrantly fruity but not cloying.
Penne was satisfyingly al dente, with green peas, mushrooms, and sausage in a light creamy sauce.
Charming and comfortable décor, classy but not fussy.
Highly recommended.

Great Italian food. I’ve so far only had the gnocchi because it’s so good! I don’t want to try anything else but I guess I should. Serving size is pretty small and prices around around $ 17-​$ 20/​pasta dish. Service has been pretty good too.

They don’t really have a lunch menu, so coming for dinner is definitely the economical choice.
Servers are friendly enough, and the food is decent.

In a bigger space now, with a full bar, Tre Otto is really coming into its own. At a recent dinner, service was friendly, the wine was poured generously, and the food was quite good. We shared the dried fruit salad to start and then I had the delicious orrechiette with anchovy paste and broccoli rabe. Would recommend both. Paired with a nice nero d’avola, a great meal.

After my first visit I wasn’t too impressed with the Trenette al pesto Trapanese pasta & the cannellini bean soup. However, the margherita pizza was good, and the service and ambiance is great! They have a nice big dining room too. I went back twice since and really enjoyed their cacio y pepe pasta and some of their seafood pasta dishes & appetizers. It’s a great addition to the neighborhood!

Went here on a Wed evening. The host asked us if we had a reservation and when we said no, he said he’ll look into a table. We were about to leave but he called us in shortly.
The ambience is low-​lights, «Tuscany-​esque», high ceilings. Soft, quiet vibe. Although most of the clientele were well-​dressed older people.
We decided to split the calamari/​zuccini app (which I heard good things about from previous Unilocalers), a pesto pasta, and an arugula salad. The calamari/​zuccini app was tasty but lacking in the amt of calamari. The zuccini was also sliced too small/​thin, so it didn’t have to crunch/​zest that I was hoping for. The marinara sauce that came with the app was very delicious, however. Slightly spicy and smokey.
The arugula salad was a good portion. Well/​lightly-​seasoned w/​balsamic vinagrette and with thin, sophisticated slices of green apple and thick slices of parmesan. mmm…
The food came out fast, bam bam bam, all 3 dishes at once. But service was overall kinda slow, had to keep flagging down waiters.

Two stars are for service.
They essentially have the market for sit down restaurants in the immediate Mount Sinai area. I went here for lunch with two colleagues and was astounded by the poor service. We arrived shortly before the lunch rush and were seated. A waitress brought us our menus. When she came back, we weren’t quite ready to order. When we were, we closed our menus and waited for a while. She didn’t check in with us again so another waiter came and took our order. The waitress then got really upset at the waiter who took our order and started yelling at him. She then came back to our table to take our order again. I bluntly told her no, the other waiter took it, we didn’t have our menus anymore, and she could get the order from him. I have never seen such childish behavior in adults. She works in a business and her professionalism reflects the business.
Waitress aside, the food was good. I would give them 4 stars for this. Again, having the market in the area, lunch prices are expensive but it is a good place for business meetings.
Honestly, I won’t recommend this place to anyone. Price high, service mediocre but food good. It’s a shame.

Pretty solid for the neighborhood.
Bear in mind that this review is based only on 3 drinks and the trentino pie so clearly this is not the most representative review. The whole artichoke seems to be a crowd pleaser. The trentino was … pretty much salt on bread. You’ve got prosciutto and you’ve got bleu cheese. I still ate half because even totally oversalted pizza is still amazing but I could not stop staring at my neighbor’s whole artichoke. I promise I was not listening in on your conversation.
Favorite drink was the Re di Limonata with the house sparkling lemonade and flecks of basil. The dark and stormy was a bit too medicinal but packed quite a wallop. As evidenced by the fact that I looked for five minutes for my phone before realizing it was still in my hand. Whoops. I can get behind the novelty of the nutella martini with the hazelnut rim but I must be getting senile because it was way, way too sweet, even for me.

The inside of this place is beautiful. The exposed brick really adds to the atmosphere and dining experience. We got the calamari to start and split a mushroom and prosciutto pizza. The 12 inch is big enough to split. When our order came it was actually an arugula and prosciutto pizza with no mushrooms. Anyway it was still good even though the order was wrong.
