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.

User review by mamapop – This is a great place for lunch during the week. The value at lunch time is great and you have a wide range of things to choose from. My department always has lunch out here when we go out as a group. Very good food. You can chose between Pasta, Chicken, Sandwiches and of course fish. I don't eat fish, but I have heard they have great seafood. They have a monsterous fish dish which takes two people to eat.

A New York Staple – It is hard to find a restaurant that you can count on for a romantic dinner or a fun lively time with some friends or a great party setting with such reliable service and continually fabulous food. Maybe that is why there are so many regulars at Pescatore. The food is consistently delicious, always go for the fish special! or the osso buco and don't forget the chopped salad. The wine list is good, there is always a nice Chianti available and the staff is friendly and competent. I'm there every couple of w... read more

Great for groups! – Pescatore is an overall wonderful restaurant! Great place to dine with a few friends or to have company parties. Pescatore has been more than generous in arranging and hosting many parties for Memorial Sloan Kettering. The staff is extremely attentive, helpful and kind! The atmosphere is inviting, cozy and romantic. Most importantly, the food is delicious!!!

How did I not find this place sooner??! – When a friend recently told me about this great restaurant on second ave, I was a bit skeptical bc her enthusiasm was over the top. She was not wrong to be excited about finding it. Pescatore has such a great warm atmosphere and delicious food. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BABY LAMB CHOPS! I could almost make a meal from the olives and bread that they serve before your meal arrives (but make sure you save room for dessert - delicious cheesecake). The staff was extremely friendly and accomo... read more

What's not to like?!?!?! – We had a wonderful dinner here before the theatre. It was walking distance from our hotel (2 blocks). The ambience was warm and friendly. The food was incredible!! We would recommend "Linguini Pescatore" very highly. All the seafood in it was prepared perfectly -- Not overcooked! Be prepared for LARGE portions. Loved the olives!
