Tartina: A Hidden Gem for Exquisite Italian Dining in New York City

Went twice in two days because I was so impressed with the food. The best pasta I have had in Morningside Heights!

Food is absolutely delicious. Service is excellent and friendly This italian eatery understands italian pasta and dishes. The portions are favorable and price points are comfortable. Drinks are prepared well. The evening we had dinner the establishment was empty so I’m not sure what the experience is like when it’s packed but dinner while the restaurant is half empty was actually a delight. The music selection could improve but other than that definitely recommend this excellent italian eatery.

My long term partner and I reunited in the city that never sleeps, the big apple, the empire state, and experienced an outdoor seated array of pasta and juices. Food was not our favorite as pasta was more al dente than hoped with limited sauce and some shredded cheese. The dinner crowd had not rolled in so it was peaceful and the waiter(s) were very nice.

Excellent food. I had the salmon burger and it was delicious. The lentil soup was hardy. It was a good way to start my dining experience. It was a quaint and lovely atmosphere. The host and waiter were wonderful. There weren't any families with children like other Italian restaurants on the strip. So it is lovely for a nice date. A well-designed decor made it feel open and cozy. A good place to linger after a meal

A hidden gem around Columbia! The Branzino is really decent and they make it in a Fish en Papillote way, also fairly priced, which I’ve never got in most of the Italian places in nyc, highly recommend! The starter bread is fresh. I will come back! The dessert is also great, love the pistachio cheese cake.

They have some homemade pastas here. The ambiance is excellent and the flavor is delicious. I ordered the Paseo pasta and it was awesome just wish they took the tail off the shrimp.

My hubby and I had a great time, delicious food and great atmosphere. Loved the Bell’s Two Hearted Ale American IPA draft beer. Our waiter Bryan was the best ever!

I went for brunch. The first time at the restaurant. It was full. So best to make reservations. I ordered lasagna on a whim. I am very picky about my lasagna. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I had to stop myself from eating too much. There was plenty to eat. My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs and ate it all up. My parents ordered pancakes and "french" toast and then shared them. I say "french" because it seemed not to be ordinary french toast with some fruit and powdered sugar. The pancakes were two of the fluffiest ones I have ever seen. And my parents had enough to take some home. So, all in all, I DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK! Oh and there was some live music in the corner near the door. A little jazzy. If I were you, I would give this place a try! Plus, there were some toddlers with grown-ups and a small dog in the corner. As a first-timer, I will DEFINITELY be a second-timer, if not more!
