Crispo
- Italian
- New York, NY
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

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.
"The Worst" – Crispo is the epitome of a trendy, crowded, new restaurant that will not last more than six months!
Really rude – Good food. Bad attitude. The reservations people were rude; the people at the door were rude; the wait staff was indifferent. Crispo thinks it's hotter stuff than it is.
excellent service / pasta!! – Incredible Service and pasta that redeemed the awful start. we waited almost 40 minutes before getting sat in the crowded smoky bar area. we expected the worst but we were greeted by an enthusiastic waiter who promised us "the best pasta you'll ever have". we took his suggestions and were extremely pleased. we started with a hot proscuitto dish that was simply fabulous, next we had a rigatoni, which delivered on our servers promise. our main course was the sea bass with artichokes and steak. the... read more
Great Spot – I loved Crispo! It had a really nice relaxing atmosphere. The food was excellent! I will definitly recommend it to my friends!
All-Hype – Thoughts: unmemorable food, pushy service, disappointed - overall, I had a bad taste in my mouth when I left about the restaurant and the entire experience. I went with a girlfriend to get a bottle of wine and a few appetizers - both of us were disappointed in their menu and in the wine that was recommended to us. The waitress seemed particularly displeased that we had ordered a bottle of wine at the bar (even though we had a wait).
Crowd pleaser – If you don't mind near-claustrophobic crowds, Crispo is a surefire bet for good, hearty, sophisticated downtown dining without a designer price tag. No wonder you're packed in like sardines: the food is consistently fresh and appealing, and a 3 course dinner for two (with cocktails or wine) will still clock in at less than $75. Servers are overworked but extremely friendly and upbeat. Have been back 3 times, and will continue to do so!
