The Scene With flickering sconces and rough-hewn brick walls, Crispo may look like an elegantly restored Italian farmhouse, but frenzied servers, tight tables and wait-list hopefuls at the marble bar make it feel like a city-slick hotspot. In season, solace-seekers retreat to street-front patio dining, while foodies observe the kitchen through a wide window in the white-tile back wall.The Food Frank Crispo's confident cooking drives this imaginative Italian menu. Start with prosciutto di San Daniele and peaches enlivened with tangy drizzles of aged balsamico, or braised baby artichokes offset with slivers of toasted almonds and parmigiano. Homemade pastas are emphatically flavored, so half portions suffice. Crabmeat agnolotti is sweet with carrot-butter; sausage orecchiette robust with broccoli rabe. Grilled mustard-glazed salmon with smoky pancetta slaw and tender veal medallions with fontina and mushrooms in a marsala reduction are heavenly followed by creamy buttermilk panna cotta or homemade gelato.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
By Dburman5 on 06/03/2008
This is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. This was my third time there and again, everything was perfect, including service. There meatballs are the best I've ever had and the eggplant caponata is out of this world. All pasta dishes have been excellent and everything has been cooked perfectly! I can't say enough about how much I love this restaurant. The back outside garden area is a beautiful setting and the indoor decor is charming. You won't be disappointed.

The Best
By skyciel on 01/19/2006
Crispo is my favorite restaurant in all of New York City. Service is dramatically worse than when it opened, but the neighborhhod atmosphere and phenomenal food at great prices outweighs that single flaw.

Our meals were outstanding, loved dining in the outside court yard. Great recommendation from the chef's cousin. It has our "stamp of approval". Don't miss out!!

Outstanding

This restaurant is the first I've ever taken the time to write a review about. It seems that eating out in general is a disappointment -- but Crispo was anything but. Their pasta dishes are awesome - and they have such flavor you can't get enough. Their creme brulee was the best I've ever had too. And to top it off, their staff was pleasant and the atmosphere was comfortable. This is the first restaurant I'll say I can't wait to go back!
