Il Corallo Trattoria - New York

Honestly, one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, if not the country.Their lunch menu is a great value. Bread is fresh, they have fresh mozzarella for the dishes, delicious pasta, great wine, and quick service!It was more than enough food and I cannot recommend the Vermentino white enough!

I ordered It was tasty.I went on the recommendation of a friend. I ordered the recommended food Taglierini Sorrento .It was so delicious. The pre-starter bread with balsamic vinegar+olive oil was also good.

I went to Il Corallo with a group of friends for a Saturday night dinner. The atmosphere was great and the servers were very attentive but I thought the food was just okay. The pasta noodles were cooked well, yet were nothing special, and the sauce was done alright. None of us left with glowing reviews of the experience and we only thought it was okay. Also they do not serve any liquor so we were not able to get cocktails with our meal which was too bad.Vegetarian options: We were with two vegetarians and we weee able to easily accommodate them with the options on the menu.

We ordered the Pizza Rustica, Tortellini Parmigiano, and Fusilli Boscaiola from their lunch specials!The Pizza Rustica was a burst of flavors the fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce complemented perfectly by the zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms. The option to choose between a soup or a small green salad was a thoughtful touch that added to the overall dining experience.The Tortellini Parmigiano was heavenly. The tender tortellini filled with flavorful cheese, combined with a delectable Parmigiano sauce, left us craving for more. It was a true Italian comfort dish, and we savored every bite.Fusilli Boscaiola. The spiral pasta cooked to perfection, accompanied by the delightful combination of mushrooms and peas in a creamy tomato sauce, created an explosion of taste in every mouthful.The service was impeccable, and the staff made us feel warmly welcomed throughout our meal. The ambiance was cozy and perfect for a relaxing dining experience.

I was really nicely surprised at how delicious this place was! The Cesar salad was a notch above all others I’ve had with the way they did their breadcrumbs, it was so light!The seafood fettuccine was sensational, the scallops were really the highlight. House wine was a great choice to compliment them. My friend had the spinach ravioli and loved them too :)I put 4 stars and not 5 only because paying the bill was complicated, the server didn’t seem to understand anything we explained (I was paying my half of the food and tip in cash , and my friend hers by card) and with the misunderstanding I’m scared he got less tip than we meant to leave..
