Da Claudio

Everything was wonderful! I would return again. The staff were nice and attentive and the food was spectacular

This restaurant was quiet at 9 PM. Perhaps the dinner crowd starts earlier. There were maybe four other tables with people when we arrived so we were seated quickly.

Bread with olive oil was provided quickly and a server was by our table to offer drinks. Definitely recommend adding some salt from their grinder to the evoo to elevate the flavor.

We ordered a meat and cheese plate to start.

The plates we ordered rigatoni and gnocchi came out promptly.

I came here with my son and husband. This place was recommended everywhere so I thought we would give it a try. I was thoroughly unimpressed. The restaurant was very empty. There were a few tables filled with what I can only imagine were regulars because of the attention they were given. Our service was the bare minimum - waitress who was also the hostess ( wearing a mask for covid) stopped by maybe 3 times. We had a reservation but there was no acknowledgment of it. The food was ok. The cocktail list was not interesting so I ordered the limited wine per glass for $ 20 a glass.

To be clear price is not
my concern. the entire vibe was just wrong and i wanted out of there asap. Pop art on the walls with low lighting . Our seat was smack in the middle of the room with another table 2 inches from us.

The food will not bring me back. Go to little italy and enjoy authentic tasting food and well planned atmospheres ..

I have no idea what this place was going for
and how they are so
highly recommended.

Great food and good service! The carbonation is delicious, as are the artichoke hearts. Loses a star for atmosphere, it's an odd vibe with terrible art on the walls. Good service. Would come back for the food, definitely!

This is a restaurant I tried on my first time visiting New York. It was definitely fine dining. We came here on a stormy night.

For my appetizer I had the frito misto. It was very good. I'm used to regular calamari so this threw me for a bit of a loop. For my entree I had the veal pasta. This was also very good.

The ground veal was very tasty and the pasta was made in house. I enjoyed my entire experience and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Manhattan.

Ordered the rigatoni and tiramisu for takeout (45 total). The food was solid, but nothing to write home about, especially given the price point. The guanciale in the rigatoni was a bit chewy (but haven't had guanciale enough to know what the "gold standard" is), and for $27 I do wish they were more generous with the quantity of protein. The tiramisu was good - the ladyfingers were not soaked in enough espresso (if any?) but the mascarpone was fluffy and light. Service was friendly and efficient (I called and the gentleman said the food would be ready in 15 mins). Ambiance inside was a bit dark but don't have much to say given that I ordered to go.

Overall a solid spot but in a city with such a competitive Italian food scene it is tough to call Da Claudio a standout. With that being said, I would come back again if I'm ever craving pasta and don't want to stray too far from my apartment.

Carpaccio was phenomenal! Simple but fresh and the pecorino mushrooms were a nice flair. Gnocchi was solid but not outstanding. Loved the ambience!

Service was aggressively "good". I was feeling a little harassed by the end of the meal and wouldn't have minded a bit of breathing room between dishes.

A bit of a late review, but came here earlier in the summer for a Friday evening dinner. I don't know what it is about FiDi but there aren't a ton of good sit down restaurant in the area. Nonetheless, I felt Da Claudio was ok. I ordered a glass of red wine that I felt was very mid. But perhaps I'm getting more accustomed to natural wine these days which has a very different flavor profile. Don't recall getting any apps which is rare but I ordered the rigatoni which I think had pancetta in it. It was good! Not amazing but solid.

we ended with some blood orange sorbet (i believe) which was a nice way to end the meal.

We sat at the bar for a more casual experience. The Fritto Misto was a great starter; The calamari was cooked perfectly and not rubbery at all. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara and was disappointed that it didn't come with a yolk on top! Tried some of my friend's lasagna and was blown away by how good that was, so pretty sure I just ordered the wrong thing. Will get the lasagna if I ever return.

Service was attentive! Extra cheese was shaved table-side. Nice bartender.

Came here for a birthday dinner for one of my coworkers. Made a reservation online, then called a day before to ask if we can get a booth. Person over the phone said no problem. We get there, no booth. It's alright though, we had a nice table in the middle.

Shared some calamari to start. This was good, light and crunchy. Each of us had our own mains. I tried the amatriciana. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had the the right amount of heat and tanginess.

Our server Kasy was amazing! She was very attentive, and made sure we were all taken care of.
