" The hype about Cacio e Pepe is justified! The pasta was delightful with a perfect creaminess. The staff was quite friendly and attentive. My only dislike was the seating arrangement, which felt a bit cramped at times. While it may not have the most intimate setup, it’s still a wonderful spot for some amazing food. I will definitely be returning for the cacio e pepe soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find in the heart of the city! We started with the burrata appetizer, which was heavenly, followed by their famous cacio e pepe. Each dish was neat and perfectly presented. The waitstaff was attentive, managing to check on us without being intrusive. I loved how cozy the restaurant felt, with the lighting set just right. Definitely a 10/10 in my book! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being marked as a must-try for cacio e pepe lovers, I finally made it to this restaurant! The dish was flavorful but it was way too peppery for my taste. It felt like they tried too hard to stay true to the authentic recipe without considering personal preferences. Other parts of the meal were average in flavor. The service was decent. Probably won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely Italian restaurant! The service was superb, and you can feel the passion through their cooking. The cacio e pepe was very rich and satisfying. The dining area is snugly packed, but the ambiance was really enjoyable. I felt the portion sizes were solid for the price. I would highly recommend visiting if you're keen on experiencing genuine Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a marvelous dining experience! The cacio e pepe was as claimed: deliciously creamy and perfectly al dente. All of the staff were kind and kept checking in on us. The restaurant itself had a charming ambiance, just slightly noisy at peak hours but not too distracting. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I kickstarted my culinary journey here at Cacio e Pepe. The highlight was definitely the cacio e pepe made in the big cheese wheel. It was delightful to watch and even better to taste! The service was overall welcoming although there seemed to be a slight delay in getting our dessert. Despite that, I had an amazing evening filled with great food and company. The atmosphere felt very authentic Italian, which is hard to find in NYC. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cacio e Pepe with a group and we all ordered different dishes. The stars of the table were definitely the cacio e pepe and the lasagna. It was nice to share and experience different flavors. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for a group outing or a casual date. Could have had quicker service towards the end, but it was overall a fantastic experience. I'll be recommending to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
