    Dissapointing food, given the hefty price

    I was gifted a $40 gift certificate to this place from a friend who spoke so highly of it. I should have asked her what she ordered because I went with my partner and we were both disappointed by our meals. I ordered the seafood of the day, which I assumed would be fresh since, you know, it's "of the day". Basically it was deep fried calamari, shrimp, and cod. I have to say, I wouldn't surprise me if it were thawed seafood reheated in the oven. It wouldn't be worth $10 and it certainly wasn't worth the $25 I was charged. I honestly couldn't believe the poor quality of the food, but reading other reviews here, maybe I just had an off dish? Service and decor were satisfactory, but still lacking given the prices. But this is New York and one off dish is enough for me never to come back.

    Good but Different and Expensive Italian

    While planning a weekend trip with my siblings I came across Cacio y Vino. Memories of a long ago, month long, Siciian college course ran through my mind as I imagined an Italian restaurant that offered more than the typical northern Italian cuisine. The atmosphere was good, with a rustic appearance and seating that is grouped closely. Yes it was a little noisy but the decibel level did not bother our group of 40 and 50 somethings. The Sicilian flatbread, calamari and Involtini di melanzane were all devoured and enjoyed, along with our warm bread and olive oil for appetizers. We stuck with the most inexpensive Chianti as our wine choice and to us out of towners it seemed quite expensive at $46. For the main courses we ordered Spaghetti cacio e piselli , Anelletti alla palermitana, Bucatini con le sarde and Tagliolini frutti di mare. Needless to say, the silence at the table was deafening as we all dug in and enjoyed our meals. Soon the sharing started followed by the inevitable sighs and moans as we all realized that our eyes where bigger then our stomachs. While every meal was thoroughly enjoyed, I will say that the Bucatini and Aneletti had a taste that I believe is unique to southern Italian cooking. With the Bucatini it was definitely the pairing of the fennel, sardines and raisins while we were all at a lose as to pinpoint the distinctiveness in the Aneletti. Overall the meal was greatly enjoyed and we all agreed to come back next time we visit NYC. Again, to our out of town wallets, the prices were quite expensive for pasta dishes.Go, enjoy and magia bene!

    Tremendous Disappointmnt

    If you enjoy eating poorly prepared food in a place where you can't hear what your companion is saying, and if the food you've ordered is poorly prepared, then this is your place. For appetizers we had the stuffed sardines (very fishy), the cod mousse (cold and bland), and for entrees the Branzino and the Stuffed rolettes of veal. Despite asking the waiter if the fish was really fresh and his assurance that it was, it wasn't. The veal was luke warm and tough. The only acceptable thing was the spinach that came with the veal. Since you are practically sitting on top of the tables next to you, you can get a good look at what other people are eating, and I have to admit that the pizzas looked good. But the noise and proximity of other diner was enough to encourage me never to return.

    The pizza is the best!

    I never want to have pizza for my dinner. I just don't think it's special enough to have for an entree. Here, you can dine like a real Italian and have pizza for dinner! Try the broccoli rabe and sausage pie. The other menu items are great as well. The owner has always been nice. In the summer the front doors are open and it is lovely.

    Nice dinner

    Dropped in with some friends and received a warm welcome. We all had fish in different styles, that were complimented by a bottle of Aglianico del Vulture - note: it's a lengthy wine list, with lots of interesting choices. Good service, with water glasses filled regularly. We'll have to come back for the pizza sometime.

    Nice seafood!

    Arrived a bit early for the 7.30 reservation, received a cordial greeting and offered a choice of tables. Service was attentive, wines by the glass were interesting. Grilled pulpo was as nice as I have ever had, and the branzino was very good, too. Our out-of-town foodie friends are coming in a couple of weeks and we will be taking them to Cacio e Vino.
