Verbatim excerpts from TripAdvisor reviews.
★★★★★Business
“Five stars isn't enough. Excellent isn't enough. I recently had the privilege of hosting a fundraising event at Patsy's Italian Restaurant, and the experience exceeded every expectation. The food was outstanding, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was everything you hope for when dining in one of New York City's truly iconic restaurants.”
★Couples
“I am writing to share our deeply disappointing experience at your restaurant last night. Our group of two couples came to celebrate a special evening together, but the treatment we received completely ruined the occasion. A reservation was made weeks in advance in anticipation of enjoying your restaurant.”
★★★★★Family
“Patsy's has been our go-to for every special occasion and holiday for over a decade, and it never once lets us down. After moving out of NYC last summer, our first trip back to the city came with one non-negotiable: it was finally time to bring our daughter. She immediately understood why we've been talking about this place for years.”
