Gluten Free Pasta!!
I went to Rezdora two times, once in February and once in March and both times for lunch because it was easier to get a reservation. The place was packed. The restaurant is not big and has two different seating areas. One is across the Bar, and the other is in the back. The menu is small, 7-8 appetizers, two salads, 7-8 pastas, a meat, and a fish and some vegetable sides. The reviews of this restaurant are either bad or amazing. There are several things that are amazing and some areas need work. First let's say that the chef is extremely talented and the pasta is excellent, specially the gluten free pasta. Very few restaurants do gluten free pasta from scratch. Rezdora does it and it is excellent. The Cacio e pepe salad is the reason I went back the second time. Its my favorite at the restaurant. While the food is excellent, the service is mediocre. The waiter rushed us to make our decision, asked to take the drink order. We told him we wanted wine and needed to talk to the sommelier. Needless to say , our appetizers came and we were still waiting for the sommelier. I had to ask three times before we got someone who recommended an excellent Barolo. She really knew her wines. The service was rushed, as if they wanted us to eat quickly and leave. What they need to understand is food with this quality needs to be enjoyed, not gulped. Overall I will go back for the gluten free pasta and the cacio e pepe salad. They need to work on the service/ hospitality aspect of the restaurant otherwise they will lose customers. I give it my GoldnAdvice seal of approval.
Be the first to ReplyDinner Can Be Delicious and Terrible at The Same Time
The food is truly delicious. Everything is fresh and made to order. The prices are a bit high for pasta but you can't beat the quality. We will never go back. After reserving a fair amount of time in advance we were seated in the bar area. This is not a gigantic space and we would not have minded being seated there except the loud music blaring in our ears from speakers every few inches above our heads made it impossible to hear anything: the descriptions of the dishes and each other. It was, to quote Christopher Guest in This is Spinal Tap, an 11. It was at the level of a dance club. We complained and it was lowered--barely. We looked enviously at the diners in a separate, far more quiet room in the back. We didn't know about that option. Where we were seated felt like it was reserved for walk-ins. Beyond upsetting. If you go, request that back room. Or save your eardrums and eat elsewhere.

Terrible experience!!! You need a dictionary to understand the menu. Food is mediocre at best. Took an hour to get bread and few cubes of cheese. Blasting old rock music in an Italian restaurant. Apparently the chef thinks he is a DJ.
Be the first to ReplyTasting menu was disappointing- same dish three times
As a huge foodie, I came to try the tasting menu after many many rave reviews on the internet. The tasting menu was a disappointment. Although the pasta was fine, the menu served the same dish three times (pork shoulder, mortadella and prosciutto) but as ravioli, tortellini and linguine. This is a massive cheat especially when the menu doesn’t disclose what the tasting menu entails. If I wanted that dish, I would have ordered it full size rather than having it packaged three different ways. There was no seafood option and so overall this was very disappointing. A tasting menu is supposed to showcase a variety of dishes, not serve the same thing again and again! The table next to me also had to send pasta back from the main menu as it was inedible.
Be the first to ReplyA bad service in a nice place
This restaurant was a box of surprises, but unfortunately not for the best reasons. Expectations were few, within what is expected of a 1* Michelin rating and the price of the menu, however, they were defrauded. The restaurant is full, hectic, nothing like what is considered 'fine dining' in Europe, but the fact that it is relaxed is a plus point for those who want a carefree meal without regard to etiquette. If what you are looking for is a place to have a romantic dinner and a bit of silence, you will not find it here, as there is so much noise that you can barely hear your partner, the tables are very close to each other and the staff themselves talk a lot high, resulting from general noise. We were very disappointed by the way we saw that customers were treated, we thought it would be just us, but we realized that the attitude was also for the other tables. They gave us the menu, a lot of pressure for us to quickly choose the dishes, then when we asked our questions about the ingredients, the young man who served us responded as if it were a crime that we had ordered 3 starters and 2 main courses, as if we weren't to consume enough for him, even going so far as to say that the restaurant recommended 3 to 4 starters and 3 to 4 main dishes and that if we regretted that selection that the kitchen would not be able to take our order again, as they were a very popular restaurant and according to him “very busy”. The 3 starters we ordered arrived and while we were enjoying them, another employee arrived to ask if he could bring the main course, as it was already waiting to come out in the kitchen. What? A Michelin star restaurant telling the customer that the food was ready and waiting for the customer? I've never seen anything like it. I replied no, that I wasn't going to rush the entrance and that they should wait... for the result? Food arrived lukewarm at the table. The waiter constantly with a bad face, harsh but pretending to smile asking if we didn't want anything else. An experience not to be repeated. A lot of pressure for the bill to be as high as possible, we think, hoping for a good % tip.

It was not worth what we paid, a positive note for the employee who served the wine, who was friendly and for the space itself, which is beautiful and intimate. ------------------------------------------- Este restaurante foi uma caixinha de surpresas, mas infelizmente não pelos melhores motivos. As expectativas eram algumas, dentro do que se espera de uma classificação de 1 * Michelin e do preço do menu, porém, foram defraudadas.

Ficamos muito desiludidos pela maneira como vimos que os clientes eram tratados, julgávamos que seriamos só nós, mas apercebemo-nos que a atitude era também para as outras mesas. Deram-nos o menu, muita pressão para que escolhêssemos rapidamente os pratos, depois ao colocarmos as nossas dúvidas sobre os ingredientes, o homem novo que nos atendeu respondia como se fosse um crime termos pedido 3 entradas e 2 pratos principais, como se não estivéssemos a consumir o suficiente para ele, chegando mesmo a dizer que o restaurante recomendava 3 a 4 entradas e 3 a 4 pratos principais e que se nos arrependêssemos dessa seleção que a cozinha não poderia atender o nosso pedido de novo, pois eram um restaurante muito requisitado e segundo ele “very busy”. Chegaram as 3 entradas que pedimos e enquanto estávamos a desfrutar das mesmas, chegou outro funcionário a perguntar se poderia trazer o prato principal, pois o mesmo já estava à espera de sair na cozinha. What? Um restaurante de estrela Michelin a dizer ao cliente que a comida já estava pronta e aguardava pelo cliente? Nunca vi nada assim. Respondi que não, que não ia apressar a entrada e que deveriam aguardar… resultado? Comida chegou morna à mesa. O empregado constantemente de má cara, ríspido mas fingindo sorrir a perguntar se não queríamos mais nada. Uma experiência a não repetir. Muita pressão para que a conta seja o mais alta possível, julgamos nós, à espera de uma boa % de gorjeta.

One of the most unique and delicious Italian meals I’ve ever had. Had the pasta tasting menu. The portions aren’t huge but that’s because every bite is a work of art, which is not the case when eating a bowl of pasta and red sauce at a normal restaurant. There’s clearly hours if not days of technique that go into these meals, which explains the cost. Also, while the portions aren’t huge, they’re sufficiently rich - so you won’t leave hungry. Some say the food is too salty. The chicken soup was salty, but it came from the Parmesan in the dish, not because a chef shook the shaker too hard. I happen to love salty food though, so I loved it.
Be the first to ReplyThird Trip a Charm
This is my third trip to Rezdora. My first visit was similar to the last. The one in between was a bit of a disaster, but it was early Covid and we were eating on the street. Service was terrible and the food nothing special. That has all changed. The Burrata with proscutto di parma was excellent. Paper thin slices of lean proschutto (not a trace of fat) with a wonderful burrata. It is the stuff of dreams. An excellent Sformatino de Scarola for antipasti. You can skip the Fett'unita (toasted bread). It seemed like day old, toasted bread that masked any taste of the olive oil. The Gramigna Giallo e Verde was also outstanding. Pasta with fennel sausage that was perfect. There was also a nice Tile Fish and Crostata do Sanguinella (blood orange and lemon tart). Cocktails were well done including the refreshing Hugo and the excellently prepared Boulevardier. Service was attentive and helpful. One nit, the music was loud and a bit annoying. Not exactly soothing dinner music, at least not what Spotify would choose.
Be the first to ReplySeverely Overrated!
After trying for 5 months, we finally were able to get a reservation at Rezdora. The entire evening was a disaster. It took 30 minutes to get our drink order and over 90 minutes to get our pasta dishes. All of the pasta was cold and so salty it was difficult to eat. No one checked in our meal and then it took almost 30 more minutes to get the check. I would never return…. Stay away as this is a tourist trap.
Be the first to ReplyHow can I explain in words!!
Food and wine paring was magnificent, Anthony our waiter was a beauty! Prob the best feed ever with service that matched. Keep up the great work
Be the first to ReplyDelightfully delicious with excellent service.
Delightfully delicious and unique. We truly enjoyed the Italian buns with smoked meats, verde pasta, and steak & eggs brunch dishes. We came here after the feature on The Dish. It did not disappoint.
Be the first to ReplyA very disappointing experience.
I had read and been told that Rezdora was one of the best new restaurants for pasta in NYC. I had been looking forward to it for years, and my closest friend and I made it our choice for an annual special restaurant tradition. We got 2 salads and the pasta tasting. Mistake? Should we have ordered a la carte? Out of 5 pasta dishes, only the Bolognese was smile worthy. Every other dish had us very confused. Extremely undercooked pasta in preparations that had no depth and way too much salt. I love al dente pasta and I love salt, but this was something else. Did nobody taste this stuff before it left the kitchen? I have never had such a gap between expectations and reality at a nyc restaurant before. There were a few service glitches, and the energy and robotic descriptions by the staff seemed to say, “We know. We are not into this either.”
Be the first to ReplyInteresting food and superb service
We all found some of the dishes we ordered too rich. When you have a rich appetizer followed by a rich entree, the palate doesn’t truly appreciate it. I loved my single egg ravioli with black truffles. My dessert of meringue with pistachio and strawberries was good, too. The waiter was excellent. The music was far too loud, but was turned down when we requested.
Be the first to ReplyBIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT REZDORA
It was a very special evening planned at Rezdora. It was my wife's birthday and we had reserved Rezdora for quite some time. We had read so many excellent reviews and checked out the beautiful menu photos on their website. So, we had the highest of expectations. It was also really close to our hotel and since it was our first day of this Manhattan trip, we could have a relaxing time. When you have such high expectations, it's disappointing when some things are not perfect. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host and our server took us to a nice table at the end. It was a nice quiet table and uncrowded, charming spot. We started with 2 glasses of sparkling Felsina prosecco to start the evening. Our server was very good, so no complaints there. Where it starts to turn less than perfect is the menu. On the one hand, I LOVED my selections of Taglioni al ragu, Grandmother Emilia walking thru the forest, You can find their photos on the Rezdora main website. I should also say that we both liked our starter "pillows of onion puree and rosemary power. However, my wife was disappointed with her selections: Cacio e Pepe in Emilia, Spigola Nera (black bass w white polenta sauce base). I think it's just a matter of taste. We also agreed that the Fett' unta (toasted garlic bread) was the best we've had. We finished with a great Gelato Fatti in Casa (pistachio). In addition, since we were celebrating, we were served with two very nice chocolate bon bons. So, I was a happy camper and my wife was disappointed. It would have been better if we both had perfect meals on this night. Overall though, I'm not sure it really lives up to all the hype one reads.
Be the first to ReplyTop notch food, great service and a wonderful buzz
I went for dinner with my daughter in late May 2022. Was an excellent experience in all respects... I loved the buzz of a busy and happening restaurant in a relatively small space. The service was very good and the food was excellent and faultless... We both ordered the Uovo Nino... I found it unique and have never tasted anything like it previously. Highly recommended! We also enjoyed the Fett'unta bread. Our cocktails were also superb... We had the Hugo and the Alpine Sour. A memorable experience which I hope to repeat in the future.
Be the first to ReplyVery nice meal - olive oil dessert - fantastic - who knew?!
We got reservations for Rezdora early in the evening and were seated right away. It's a long narrow restaurant inside but pleasantly decorated. Our server was properly attentive without being overbearing. The best: the olive oil dessert - such a strange thought for an ice cream. We could most definitely taste the olive oil but it was excellent. We tried a sampling of pastas and all agreed that the strozzapeti (may have been a special) was the favorite by all three of us. I'm a sucker for some cippolini onions and they were also delicious as a side. The not the best: The sirloin was good, just not jaw dropping. The fett'unta that is supposed to be a toasted bread accompaniment was the only thing I found disappointing. It's basically toasted garlic and butter bread that you'd find at most Italian mom and pop corner restaurants. I think I wanted a little more here. But their pasta was perfectly cooked - al dente and chewy (in a good way) and our server worked hard to get us out on time for a show despite us ordering multiple things. Very happy with our visit overall.
Be the first to ReplySOOOOO BAD!!!!
Way over priced, service very very bad and slow and the food just OK. Tortellini with mortadella inside??? shame on you! That is NOT how you make them. Nothing to deal with michelin experience DON'T GO
Be the first to ReplyRich and delicious meal
Snagged a last minute reservation at Rezdora. Enjoyed the Parm tasting, stracciatella , the "grandmother' mushroom pasta, ragu, and the sirloin steak. The staff recommended 3 dishes per person. We each had an appetizer and pasta and then split the steak. Glad we did this as the food was very rich. The service was spot on and the somm recommended a great wine to complement the meal.
Be the first to ReplyJust ok, won’t be rushing back!
It was just ok! Firstly we waited 15 mins for our table to be ready which wasn’t a great start. Once we sat at our table, the waiter was knowledgable about the food and wine.
I don’t usually complain but we had waited for our starter for 30 mins and the waiter had walked past us multiple times and hadn’t noticed we were waiting for so long. We had nearly finished our wine the time the starter came.
Once the food came, it was tasty but again nothing that you wouldn’t expect at an non-Michelin starred Italian.
Overall, the food was good but the service wasn't great. There was also a chip in one of the water glasses which I definitely wouldn’t expect from a Michelin starred restaurant, when I mentioned it after we paid the bill, the waiter didn’t even apologise.
Rezdora
There is an enormous amount of hype (and matching accolades) swirling around Rezdora, with its celebrity chef status and roots. Dinner reservations are very difficult to obtain, and, IF you snag one, you’ll likely be dining at 9:30 PM. My daughter and I went for her birthday (yes, at 9:30 PM) as she wanted to try the pasta tasting menu. The restaurant is quite small and VERY (too) tightly spaced. While there is no atmosphere nor ambiance to mention, Rezdora is popular because of the food. Small, deliciously fragrant, beautifully plated dishes were served at every table. We unfortunately ordered the tasting menu, and had buyer’s remorse and ordering envy. The sole delicious standout was the second course (a freshly, very simply prepared, green pasta in a scrumptious tomato basil sauce with Parmesan. We WILL dream about this pasta.) The tortellini in broth (first course) was too salty and overpowering. The third course (penne with basil and mushrooms) was very good. The fourth course was off-putting, pasta in a white sauce with bits of sausage and meat, some of which had an unappealing odor and flavor. The last course was tasty ravioli style pasta. While 5 courses sound gluttonous, each course is “no more than 2 or three bites of food, so I recommend getting appetizers as well” suggested our server. She was correct. We opted for the two salads on the menu (garden and cacio e pepe ) as starters, with the cacio e pepe (a very elevated Caesar style salad) as the delicious standout. While I do recommend Rezdora, I do NOT recommend the tasting menu. I would return and curate my own dining experience with better choices. The pasta tastings were much too inconsistent and often disappointing (ranging from deliciously dream worthy to not good.) Rezdora is, not surprisingly, a bit pricey (both of us had the tasting menu, a salad each, and a glass of wine each… with tip it cost more than $350.) That said, we were both glad we tried this highly regarded restaurant.
BEST PASTA IN NYC
I’ve always wanted to go to Rezdora and finally got the chance to try it out. As a Osteria Francescana fan, I can say Rezdora didn’t disappoint me. The food and service were great. Pasta was incredible. All my family loved it. The only thing I can say is that I felt they took so long to deliver our food. It was worth the wait.
Be the first to ReplyLast evening-
Reviews for now will focus on 3 Parts
1. How they deal with the pandemic situation
2. Service and how it feels for Europeans (as this is what I am)- differences
3. Food, glorious food
Being intrigued by a the narrative of a chef who worked in Osteria Francescana I wanted, no I had to try this- so undeterred by the daily no tables available but give notice via RESY we finally were successful on our last day
The welcome was not worthy of a michelin star restaurant sadly with a flustered host kicking us and three other couples who had arrived simultaneously back out on the (cold) road- she then got people in what all were supposed to arrive at the time they arrived but it chilled the mood- to be fair service picked up a lot after this but more on this later
The welcome and also the ultra dense tables to maximise profit, partial absence of masks and lacklustre vaccine compliance checking is neither reflective of the current covid situation nor of a very expensive higher aspirational michelin restaurant 1/5
Service picked up as we said with a friendly competent and eager ( αnd masked up) waiter who advised well on amount combination and choice of food and a very good sommeliere- she asked the 3 absolute correct questions - which wines do you like, what did you order and what’s your budget and then we had a really good conversation and settled on a nice gattinara (the wine list is good and has rare northern Italian gems like teroldego)
Food:
Absolutely top ingredients and generally well prepared but not at the level of Bottura or his team- if you know Italy this is well made food but not exceptional
We had a three pasta sample which were all excellent but could have been had in a similar quality in a south Tirolean Ski Hut - best perhaps a dish of hand rolled PICI with leeks and pork ragout…. 9/10
The best dish was the desert, an olive oil cake with olive oil ice cream- this was creative, light after the carbie meal and worthy of the coveted star
Prices where high even for NYC and Michelin Star dining
So all in all a good meal but some serious food for reflection for the owners of this establishment
Good food but needs professional FOH
So the food's good. No problem there.
But hostesses need training on how to be warm and welcoming. It's like hitting an iceberg with them. All of them. Cold as winter. Jody(?) has a personality suitable for a low end funeral home. Makes you wanna turn around and leave! What a shame.
Lovely restaurant
REZDORA is very popular, we managed to get a table via their waiting list. The ambience is lovely, small, intimate and vibrant. The service is friendly and relaxed which suits the restaurant. Food was first class, burrata and baby lettuce 🥬 to start and ravioli and taglioni for main. My only negative is the portion size is TINY, I don’t eat a lot and was still thinking ‘shall I order another dish’ don’t go here if you want to expect large portions! That said; lovely all round just a little small for the price point
Be the first to ReplyAmazing Italian fine dining restaurant. Worth every dollar
Rezdôra sits in the East 20th St, practically like a hidden gem in the area. I made the reservation for two, a week in advance, only to observe that there were only spaces available late at night (10pm), demonstrating the high demand the restaurant has currently.
Everything about this restaurant says Michelin: from the thorough best quality service to little details (music level, waiters always checking for dirty table or empty glasses, replacement of cutlery, knowledge of the structure of the menu, etc).
We started with the regular burrata, which was deliciously combined with a generous portion of prosciutto. Then, we ordered the pasta “Grandma twilling through forest in Emilia” and spaghettoni con granchio. The former was recommended as one of the most popular and the latter we chose based on ingredients; summary: they surpassed the expectations, as the texture and flavor of the pasta al dente combined with the flavour of the sauces made up exquisite plates.
To match our menu, we ordered the “cheers mr. johnson” and the “meglio tardi che mai”, both were astounding, but the former was a pleasant surprise.
To close the night, we had the “torta d’oliva” which was an amazing way to close the night with such a flavorful and tasteful dessert based on an everyday ingredient.
Definitely worth the visit and the money spent.
Upscale Italian
What a noteworthy meal I had a Rezdora. The restaurant is well designed and definitely worthwhile to take a boyfriend or a date you want to impress. You can order three courses and a dessert all separate. Go for the stracciatella for appetizer and the tagliolini for the pasta course and you cannot go wrong.
