Taverna Di BaccoB+

175 Ludlow St, New York, NY 10002 · Italian restaurant, Bar, Cocktail bar · Alphabet City

Chef-led Contemporary Italian with standout pastas and a signature lamb shank; warm, owner-driven hospitality, lively room, smallish portions, premium prices—great for a celebratory night if you value flavor and charm over volume.

The verdict

Taverna Di Bacco delivers competitive quality on par with respected neighborhood Italian favorites through exceptional handmade pastas and a standout lamb shank paired with warm, attentive service anchored by owner-chef hospitality. However, inconsistent execution on pollo and seafood dishes and modest portions relative to premium pricing prevent grade A territory. The intimate setting and loyal following make it a worthwhile destination for pasta-focused diners seeking personal service and celebratory atmosphere.

One caveat: Pricing is premium; several diners felt portions were too small for the cost
