Consistently Good Food – Been to Crispo twice and both times the food has been very good. The wait to be seated (got seated close to 10pm for an 8:30pm reservation for 2) the first time I went was a bit excessive but the food turned out to be worth the wait. Enjoy!

yummy carbonara – went for the second time on monday night. all the prosciutto plates are delicious. the spaghetti carbonara was absolutely sublime! you can even order it as an appetizer and then order an entree. prices are very reasonable. wine list is average. the only con was the wait staff. our waiter said and did all the things he was supposed to but his attitude ruined his service rating. he just didn't seem to care or maybe he was bored. overall, i enjoyed both times i went. i would definitely go back.

Perfect service, wonderful food – We went for a late dinner on a Monday night - the atmosphere was smooth and warm and the service was friendly and accurate without being intrusive. Then the food arrived - sensational! I would not hesitate to recommend Crispo and there's no doubt we're going back.

Fantastic! – What more can I say? My fiancee and I had 2 of the specials and they were sooooooo tasty, both of us finished them in about 10 minutes! We had a wonderful bottle of wine that complimented the meal very well and I had the Creme Brulee for dessert. I thought that the total bill was very reasonable for all that we had and the ambiance was just great. It gets full pretty quickly, even during the week, so I suggest making dinner reservations early.

crispo at your dispo – Trendy 14th street restaurant. Attractive space but you always feel like you're in a basement. The staff is friendly and effficient. The food is moderately priced. The food is creative and sometimes marvelous, sometimes what-were-they-thinking? I've gone back many times.

Not Impressed – I saw Crispo as a candidate for best new restaurant in Time Out New York so I thought I would give it a try. The crowd was far from trendy and the food was okay, nothing special. The music was terrible. Crispo is a nice restaurant to go to with your college buddies if you live in the area, but nowhere near the best new restaurant in New York.

Give Crispo a try; here's why – Loved the place when I walked in! It had a great ambient atmosphere and I loved the lighting and rich wood and brick. The bartender took about 10 minutes to notice us at the bar although it wasn't that crowded. The long-awaited drinks were delicious (I had a red apple martini) and we were seated timely and with a smile from the sweet hostess (no attitude mercifully). The waiter was a doll, the Pancetta appetizer delightful (although we had to ask for bread that was supposed to come when we sat... read more

A little disappointed – I had high expectations for Crispo and was disappointed with the restaurant. I arrived without a reservation and was told that there was a wait but that it shouldn't take too long. However, it was a very long wait (over 45 min) and I confronted the hostess who stated that she could not find me at the bar and she had seated 6 other parties before me. Our waiter was excellent as was our food. However, we were never served bread with our meals and the restaurant is too crowded. I would not recommend this... read more

A really good time – We had a warm knowledgeable waitress, the bus service was a little underpar (the bread didn't arrive until the apetizer) but the drinks were very reasonable (6-8 for a very decent red wine by the glass and only 8! for a vodka martini) and the food was very very good and under 18 for each entree. We were seated promptly and never rushed.
