Reviews for Osteria La Baia in New York, NY

BS +++ Walter was our waiter during my wife's birthday week. What a cool and professional man. Vegans can finally eat great... authentic Italian. Walter was friendly and attentive. This place is very fancy. Music and ambiance was adorable. Theappetizers were very nice but just need more portions. Lol but pizza especially the vegan one was the bomb. My wife loved theoctopus and the bolognese pasta. I loved my smoked oyster mushrooms. Overall spent was $200. Not bad considering my wife had2 drinks. I'll definitely be back after visiting the theater district. Boomsauce Scale: BW - basura (trash) BS - basic (comeon! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright!

Super delicious pasta! The ambiance is a little formal for my taste, but I'm from California LOL. Really good service. We had... the lobster pasta and Bolognese. Bread was delish too. Read more

My main course was not prepared very well they ruined a perfectly good piece of Halibut by over searing it. The crust was so... hard that I couldn't put my fork through it and had to use a knife. The waiter who was a taller gentleman was some whatarrogant and pompas and was attempting to flirt with my date. I fell that because I was an American he stereotyped me that I didnot know about fine cuisine. He could not have been more wrong. I went to one of the best Culinary schools in the country andworked with a variety of chefs from all over Italy. In addition I also worked in a 3 star Michelin rated restaurant at the RitzCarlton in Palm Beach. The take away should be do not look down your nose at someone and judge them based on an observation. Mydate had a pasta dish with crab meat in a red sauce I believe it was a special. Gross who puts lump crab meat in a red sauce. Ibelieve that a 2 star rating is very generous on my part. I still left the waiter a 25 % tip because I am a gentleman. Read more

Wonderful They had a vegan meal option and it was fabulous, like eating a meal from Top Chef. We also had a desert sorbet... that the Chef had just made.... loved it, bring on spring! I wanted to buy another to bring home with me. Definitely pop inhere if you have the opportunity. Read more

This place is awesome! Where to start... The food is excellent. Some notable items on the menu - rigatoni alla norma (the best... I've had in the city), tuna tartare, burrata (the side salad it comes with has a dressing to die for), selection of meats, andthe Bolognese (a light-er take, not so saucey). The cocktails are really excellent - one of my favorite spots in NY to grab amartini. Be sure to check out their negroni menu (the Bianco is amazing). Service is always excellent. Wait staff are veryattentive. The bartenders are a great time as well! Read more

I was just at the bar, though the experience was great. Umberto and Paul are great bartenders. They make great cocktails and... they're just cool dudes. The gnudi with truffles was amazing. I had a large variety of other dishes too, though I forgot to takephotos. You should definitely try the restaurant. Read more
