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

This is the way the place really is – Food is simple and pretty good. Somethings are not to miss. (Octopus salad ; Pear Carpaccio with gorganzola and prosciutto; Lamb Chops ) Consistent. Not gourmet but damn tasty! Service is back and forth. There are waiters who are a familar face every time I go which has been on and off for two years now. They are excellent! One or two servers who were really bad!!! Pray that you get one of the excellent ones and your night will be fun and enjoyable. Decor is simple. There are so many the... read more
The most offensive service – I took two out of town guests to Crispo on Saturday night because I had read a good review. After we sat down, I soon wished we had gone somewhere else. It was 20 minutes before anyone even greeted us at the table, and when our waiter approached, his pompous attitude was overwhelming. The relationship with our table was borderline hostile! He didn't want to answer any questions, and it seemed like he didn't want to serve us at all. With all the restaurants in New York, why go somewhere to be insu... read more
dont pass the salt – I was expecting to get a bit more harrassed, based on the reviews here, but I thought they were on the right side of the pushy/attentive dichotomy. Crispo needs to lay off the salt. It also got pretty loud as the evening wore on. Fine, but I wont be going back.
Busy, Trendy and Tasty – First things first, the food is fantastic. I've seen some reviews about long waits, but I had a Thursday night reservation recently and we were seated right on time, and our waitress was extremely pleasant, if only moderately attentive. The torta melanzane appetizer was AWESOME
Unacceptable Service – We made our reservation two weeks in advance and confirmed the day of. We ran into traffic on the way down and called to say that we would be 10 minutes late. Upon arriving I told them that our party was complete. After WAITING ONE HOUR and being told that our table was on dessert 3 times, I inquired as to how much longer the wait would be. I was told that since we were late (10 minutes) and our party had been incomplete (?) it would be at least another HALF-HOUR. A 1 ½ hour wait with a reservation is ... read more
Stop overbooking! – I love this restaurant's food so much that I keep going back, but I have to beg the management - please, please stop overbooking! A wait of an hour plus for a reserved table with no apology and serious attitude from the wannabee actress hostesses is simply not acceptable. The prosciutto plates are delicious, the pastas unbeatable and the hangar steak melts in your mouth. All of the waiters that I have had are pros. So why have such amateurs running the hostess station? NB - they have a great alcove and a ... read more
Good but too salty – We had 3 very different pasta dishes but unfortunately, all of them were way too salty. Rich but salty. Almost felt that the salt was hiding the possibility of tainted food since we had the blackout the week earlier. Put it this way, the food didn't digest very well.
mouth watering! – i love this new spot--but i have only one complaint: when i ordered the prosciutto special with peaches, there was not enough prosciutto--i know this b/c i had it with melon last time and the serving was generous. anyway, the octopus was incredible, well cooked with the potatoes and large caper garnish. perfect. i had the salmon with corn and BACON (i can call it pancetta if you insist) and it was fabulous. the lambchops with goat cheese polenta were also really great. i orderd a glass of pinot noir from an... read more
Great food! – I had no expectations - just passing by and decided to eat here. The food was unbelievably amazing - from appetizer to main course to dessert. The waiter was polite and attentive. I was most impressed with how fantastic the food was in correlation with the modest price-range - a total bargain in my book.
