About this business
Tucked just below street level, this low-lit Italian-American restaurant boasts a Mediterranean vibe, not to mention a warm bonhomie not usually found along bustling 14th Street. Inside, you'll find low ceilings crossed by dark wood beams and brick walls adorned with artwork. Wood-framed windows open up to a little jewel box terrazzo and deep in the rear, a small semi-open kitchen completes the rustic look. The menu at Crispo offers a solid range of traditional entrées, along with a nice antipasto selection and handfu... read more

Unpretentious, sophisticated, and pleasant – Crispo is aperfect combination of great food, sophistication, and neighborhood comfort. They have the best chicken in the city and their tomatoes are the freshest and incredibly flavorful. Highly recommended for dates, casual dinners, parties, or just about any occasion.
Overrated – The salad and cheese plate were decent, but the pasta and service were terrible. The papardelle were overcooked and tasteless. The waiter couldn't recommend a wine or pasta after we asked him, and the restaurant serves wine in tiny glasses. And the cars buzzing by on 14th street does not create the most serene atmosphere. Also, incredibly overpriced.
Out of this world – The best italian restaurant in NYC. My experince is like fairt tale. This is Italy. Don't waste your time walking through Little Italy and come here. The food is delicious, service is great and overall impression is just lovely. I recommend reservation. You have to check this out.
Bad Service will keep me away – I recently dined here for the third time. Have loved the food, ambiance and wine list. However after the last visit I would be foolish to go back. The staff acted as if they were doing us a favor by showing up. Service was slow (an hour between finished entree and dessert menu) and snippy. ( If you're not my waiter than who are you and why have you been taking my orders and bringing me food???). I get the message- won't be back...
Poor Service at Crispo – Very disappointed in the service. Waitress did not have knowledge of what the dishes were. Felt very rushed by all staff members. The worst part was the manager didn't care to better the situation for us at all. I always thought that you went to a restautrant not only for the food but the ambience as well. Bottom line is I will never eat at this restaurant again, nor will I recommend this restaurant to anyone. It doesn't matter how the food may taste if the service stinks it ruins the experience.
Imaginative Italian at a stylish trattoria in the Village. – 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. ... read more
Awesome! – Made a reservation last night to sit in the garden. Have been here 5-6 times before, but this was my first time outside. All I can say is it's one of the nicest al fresco spots in Manhattan, they must have spent a fortune on this patio. As always the food, service, ambience were all excellent. This place keeps getting better and better. Go!
Great Neighborhood Spot – The food here is very good and reasonably priced. The only issue is the service, which remains challenged, and where waits between courses can be quite long. Management should take note- your formula almost works, and would be perfect if the service got up to snuff.
Decent food, crappy mood – A cold reception got even colder when we didn't have a reservation for a Tuesday night (the place was half empty). Our hostess gruffly sent us to our table where an over-zealous waiter explained EVERY special in detail (all 10) and made snide comments when asked for an explanation of a menu item. (didn't realize we were within ear shot). Despite bringing the wrong appetizer, the food was tatsy. Not over the top, but good nonetheless. No attention was paid during our meal, excpet when we were asked ... read more
