And a great view of the big gas station across the street. LOL

(Actually I do like the place, but it's a pretty long trek over from the theatres.)

I agree that Becco is a great deal, but be advised that the service will almost ignore you if your party merits the automatic tip. We had eight people eating after a play two weeks ago, and the wait staff was so slow, it took us more than three hours to eat a salad and entre. We might have ordered dessert and surely would have had another bottle of wine, if anyone had bothered to inquire if we wanted anything else. It also took 20 minutes for the waiter to bring back the receipt for the Visa card.

We used to go to Becco, but haven't in a long time. I guess it's a good deal, but I'm not that much into just eating generally meatless pastas. The last time we were there, all three of the pastas were kind of average and not very good. One was in a fairly bland tomato sauce, one was a cheese tortellini in a light cream sauce, and the other was another form of pasta in another type of pink cream sauce. None had any real "bite" to them or great flavor, and none had any major meat or seafood ingredient to make them special. Sure we got a lot to eat, but somehow it wasn't very "satisfying" overall. I'd rather go to a place and for the same price have one really nice pasta dish.

I am in New York and ate at Becco's last night. I had the 21.95 chef's special and it was great! THe salad, the anti-pasto and the pasta (3 choices, all you can eat) were all very tasty, the service was good, and it was not even a block away from the theatre where I went to see "Curtains". Great show, by the way!!!

Love New York!

Becco can best be described as "all you can eat" - not that it's necessarily what you want to eat.

Have been only once and agree the pasta was uninteresting. (I love pasta - but with something special in the ingredients - shrimp or salmon - or the sauce).

You can do much better - but it will cost more. We often do Trattoria del Arte - which is fun and has great antipasto,
