About this business

Pescatore is a vibrant restaurant on 2nd Avenue, that prides itself on serving up some of the best Italian seafood in all of New York City. You can choose to seat yourself out on the sidewalk, in either of the two ground floor dining rooms, upstairs, or on the little second floor balcony. As far as the food is concerned, dishes like Grilled Whole Bronzino, Gamberi, and Grilled Lamb Chop rule the roost. The pizzas come highly recommended too, as they are made in brick ovens, and the staff is highly obliging.

Excellent value and service – Whenever we are in the city for the day we eat at Pescatore. The service is great and the food is delicious. In the nice weather we love the balcony overlooking second ave and enjoy leisurely lunches. The New Zealand Mussels are our favorite and the ossubucco is tender and melts in your mouth. The newly renovated side of the restaurant was a great idea and the ambience is wonderful. The staff is very attentive and makes you feel like family. We recommend this restaurant highly to all our friends... read more

Don't waste your time here – What an underwhelming way to spend dinner. Wish we would have found somewhere where they know how to cook steak and seafood. The salmon carpaccio was just bland lox over a bed of unseasoned spinich, the NY strip steak was not a good cut of meat, the fish special, snapper, was tough and flavorless, and the key lime pie for dessert tasted like it was from a supermarket. On the upside, the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. We hated to complian at them, so just paid the bill and left, never to r... read more

good seafood & pasta – Six of us came for lunch on the company tab. we were seated on the 2nd floor balcony which was perfect for the sunny day. we started with the crispy bruschetta (piled with tomatoes & onions) & caprese (fresh mozzarella with very fresh tomato) as appetizers. afterwards, i had the grilled tuna ($18) served with bean salad. the huge tuna steak was very fresh and grilled rare according to my specifications. it was simply flavoured with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. the fish came atop a huge pile of bean (... read more

very good – I went here for dinner after reading the reviews for this place. The people were nice and attentive. The menu had a good number of options. The calamari was a good portion and the lobster bisque was amazing. Try the halibut. And the tiramisu is a must. The value is excellent.

Just an Average run of the mill italian place – Nothing really stood out here. The service was good and they were on point with us. The best thing we had here were the New Zealand muscles...it was the special. They were HUGE and came in this tastey spicey sauce. Meals were average at best. Dinner bill minus any drinks was around 70 bucks.

Down Hill Slide – Recent renovaitons eliminated one of the big draws, the Brick Oven which turned out great pizza and the like has been REMOVED. I went there at least a dozen times per year hosting and or directing parties to pescatore as well. It looks like the place is in going to head down the slippery slope of cutting cost and losing more business. It's a shame and I'm not happy.

Wonderful – A little pricey, but otherwise the olives were delicious and the lobster bisque wonderful. My mother loved her penne ala vodka. Overall, a wonderful experience.

So Reliable, So Great – When I have guests in town, I can always count on there being great food and service at an affordable price here. Decor exudes a traditional warm and cozy vibe. Every dish I've tried there is fantastic.
