Vivid ochre walls and homey touches give a rustic feel to the narrow, low-ceilinged dining room.

Overall, terrific.

by DrGeis at Citysearch

I have to admit, NYC has it's share of Tuscan restaurants eager to drain your wallet. Beppe is no bargain, but the food, service and atmosphere make for a very pleasant evening. Two appetizers, entrees and dessert - each very good and priced appropriately. And those French Fries - yes, you read right - they're tossed with frizzled rosemary and basil (or something green) - one of the tastiest things I had in 9 days in NYC last week. Best fries I've EVER had. Overall, a solid meal.

A night to remember!

by sammnyc at Citysearch

A friend recommended Beppe when I was looking for a private room for my parent's anniversary and I am so happy I took her advice! They service was excellent, the food was amazing, and the experience was memorable! Me being a vegetarian I was especially impressed with their menu and they were very accommodating to my needs! I highly recommend the farrotto even if you're not a vegetarian, it was fantastic! Everyone had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back for more!

Seriously, they were like nothing I have ever had, YOU NEED TO TRY THEM!! Overall, it was definitely one of the best meals I have eaten since moving to New York and still affordable.
