Editorial Review for Crispo Restaurant – by Dana Bowen
The Scene
With flickering sconces and rough-hewn brick walls, Crispo may look like an elegantly restored Italian farmhouse, but frenzied servers, tight tables and wait-list hopefuls at the marble bar make it feel like a city-slick hotspot. In season, solace-seekers retreat to street-front patio dining, while foodies observe the kitchen through a wide window in the white-tile back wall.
The Food
Frank Crispo's confident cooking drives this imaginative Italian menu. Start with prosciutto di San Daniele and peaches enlivened with tangy drizzles of aged balsamico, or braised baby artichokes offset with slivers of toasted almonds and parmigiano. Homemade pastas are emphatically flavored, so half portions suffice. Crabmeat agnolotti is sweet with carrot-butter; sausage orecchiette robust with broccoli rabe. Grilled mustard-glazed salmon with smoky pancetta slaw and tender veal medallions with fontina and mushrooms in a marsala reduction are heavenly followed by creamy buttermilk panna cotta or homemade gelato.

The back patio is very pretty! The tables in the front would be nice to eat outside too I imagine. The food is really good and so is the service. Loved it!

I love the food at this place and have been coming often but had the worst expierence at a aresturant the last time I went. After telling them weeks in advance I was going for a special celebration we waited a half hour for our table, they then gave us the worst table and a waiter who kept telling us they didn't have what was on the menu. He completely forgot about us until he asked if we wanted the check, at which time we were about to leave he caused a huge scene about us not leaving our credit card reciepts. He proceeded to yell at my friend and when we asked him to calm down, only then did he realized he had them in his hand. I was mortified to have brought out of towners here and even more disappointed because it use to be my favorite resturant in the city.
Pros: good food
Cons: awful table, awful service, NEVER dine with a large group!
