  “What a lovely quaint, small Italian place. We found this place by mistake, and I’m so happy we did! Jacob, who is the owner is attentive and super accommodating and also very knowledgeable. The bartender was great. Wine was delicious and the food was absolutely divine. The pasta with tomatoe sauce was 💥 the peas salad insane and the tiramisu was so so delicious. A gem and we would be back!”

  “Forsythia perfectly captures what has become increasingly frustrating about parts of downtown NYC dining: charging luxury prices for an aggressively average experience. …”

  “The appetizer were amazing. The ragu had a very strong flavor, so much so that I couldn’t finish it. The carbonara was good, and I also tried the agnolotti, which I liked, but I could only eat a few pieces. The cacio e pepe was good as well. There is a 22% service fee. Not my favorite Italian place in the city, I think it to expensive.”

  “I was a walk-in, and sat at the bar. The host was a bit cold (I was the only person whose coat he didn’t offer to take on a rainy night), but my server was fantastic. So kind and attentive. He took the time to walk me through the menu and suggest things I might like. The food was well made and tasty. The only thing I really didn’t like was having a 22% tip imposed on me at the end as a surprise. I was a single diner. I could understand 18% as part of a group (as is the norm) but since when was 22% the baseline? Won’t be back because of this. If you really need to pay your staff better, perhaps raise the prices on your menu so at least diners know what they’re in for.”

  “Cute little spot with very attentive service. We got the agnolotti and the ragu. The pasta was very well made and super thin. Both dishes could have used a little more seasoning to make them pop.”

  “We didn’t have a reservation and only stopped by for a glass of champagne. When they realized we were celebrating our marriage, they surprised us with a delicious dessert on the house, which was incredibly kind and thoughtful. …”

  “This place was spectacular! We got the agnolotti and the rabbit ragu along with the salad. I make pasta art from scratch at home as a hobby so visiting here and eating the handmade pasta has been a dream of mine. The service was so friendly …”

  “Bit of a mixed bag here. The room is cool, chill vibes, good music and lighting and professional, friendly service. We had the “surprise” 6 course tasting menu. There was definitely a problem in the kitchen because there were some extremely …”

  “The host was unfriendly, which made for a poor first impression. Thankfully, our server was fantastic and very attentive. Unfortunately, there was no space to hang my coat, so I had to keep it on my lap throughout the meal. The portions …”
