Incredible!!! Back for the 3rd time in 2 years. Brought a couple of friends from the UK and my wife. We had a vegan, a meat eater, a fish eater, and pork eater. All were in heaven. The staff were extremely attentive and especially to the vegan orders. The sparkling rose wine was the cap to one of the best meals we've have ever had. Plan on returning again and again.

Pros: Every morsel of food

Cons: A touch "lively" loud but bearable

My best friend and I had dinner at Becco on a busy Saturday night. Our server asked if we were going to a show and made sure our food came out quickly and brought the bill with dessert. The atmosphere was very nice, the cocktails were good, the service was prompt and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the pasta special dinner since we were having a hard time deciding. The antipasto was extremely fresh and the pasta was so good we didn't want to stop eating. If we hadn't been going to a show we would have lingered for more cocktails. I would highly recommend Becco to anyone.

Pros: Excellent service, great food

Cons: waiting area a little cramped

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

I showed up in classic date gear; she had underdressed to the point of embarrasment. But despite my constant haranguing her, we both felt comfortable at Becco. The ambience was a bit noisy, but the decor and lighting were romantic. Besides, whispering angrily is more convenient when people at other tables are laughing. We ordered the pasta special and were deftly rewarded. The roasted vegetables seemed to "pop" with freshness; not at all boring as I had thought. The seafood accompaniment swam in my mouth. The 3 pastas of the day were equally as surprising and inventive. Never again will I poo-poo a pumpkin-based seasonal pasta...as long as its from Becco. I'm a bit demanding, and after a decade of restaurant experience, a bit of a cynic. But I cannot wait to go back to Becco. You'll recognize me as the bearded curmudgeon making my dinner date miserable, while enjoying the freshness and creativity of the chef.

Pros: Good lighting, very fresh food, great value

Cons: Only 3 kinds of whisky.

My husband and I went to Becco last night on the recommendation of many friends and we loved it! The food was fantastic and we had a lovely dining experience. Instead of having the endless pasta, which seemed a little too glutonous, we ordered the swordfish and angus steaks. The portions were huge, the food was simple and flavorful, and the wine selections were great. The only slight flaw was that the place was so busy that the waiter couldn't get to us quite as often as we would have liked. Expect to spend about $100 a couple, but walk away thoroughly full and satisfied.

Pros: Simple & Delicious Food

Cons: Very busy wait staff. Pricey.

To start the night off i had to go to the bathroom while i was waiting to be seated...i had just had wings earlier in the day, and starbucks, so you know what was about to happend to me. As i go to the bathroom, i sit down and let that stuff go....i mean it was a flow of unnatural forces, picture this, two sun baked pounds of cheese, one old hot dog, and my ex-girlfriend all rolled into my body. came out, then after the el-nino passed i went to finish and no toilet paper....man what a bummer. food was great though.

My 2 sisters and I went to celebrate my 50th birthday.The food was excellent, the waiters were always helpful and it was a wonderful feast. The only bad thing was, as soon as i finished my soda, they took my to refill it, but when the bill came I was charged $3.00 for every glass! Otherwise, I would highly reccomend Beco's.

Pros: Wonderful Food

Cons: Hidden charges

Editor's Review

The name's Italian for "little beak," but don't come to this Theater District hot spot to eat like a bird.  See the full editorial review.
