Editorial Review for Becco – by Mitchell Davis
The Scene
Abbondanza is the name of the game here, where a one-price-buys-it-all menu gets you in and out quickly, inexpensively and wishing you hadn't had that second bite of dessert. Almost before you take your seat, you're besieged by an assortment of antipasti that changes according to the season and the whim of the chef.
The Food
Every dinner includes the all-you-can-eat antipasto and a pasta selection that whizzes around the dining room in well-worn saute pans. Servers pile your plate with papardelle in veal ragu, linguine with black olive paste, penne, rigatoni, gnocchi, ravioli--every night the choice is different. The timid stop there, but if you're still hungry, a small supplemental charge earns you a generous entree.

I went there with my family during the holidays and had a blast. The wait staff was very friendly and warm. The place was lit just right. And the never-ending pasta was delicious! I think it changes nightly or so but among the three pastas was a pumpkin ravioli that was perfectly delicious. To top it off, Lidia herself was there and taking pictures with everyone, welcoming everyone, going from table-to-table to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. This is definitely the place to go if you're in the theatre district (where I'm wary of all restaurants)!
Pros: food, service, ambience
Cons: close tables, crowded
