Petrarca Cucina e Vino

Wonderful traditional Italian food in a beautifully designed space and warm atmosphere. Very attentive staff and great wine selection. Very reasonably priced for the Tribeca area. Can't wait to return!

I am staying near by the restaurant and after walking past it several times on my way to work, I thought I must try it! My experience started off wonderfully...My friend and I ate very well and the food was delicious. As many have said below - fresh, authentic Italian, portions are great and atmosphere is warming. The house wine is delicious and just the right amount for two small glasses. After wonderful service from a young man, I was shocked when I came home and checked my bank account. I had included a tip in the full amount I asked to be charged on my card, and specifically wrote "included" on the final receipt. The transaction was processed as such, however it was then corrected (refunded/cancelled) and re-charged for $10 more than what I noted. I will try to contact the owner to rectify this as I find it extremely dishonest and rather disappointing after what I thought was a great experience at the restaurant. Especially because I was hoping to go back for another evening... I would suggest to make sure you're next to the person processing the transaction.

This is a great spot. The food is always excellent. The wine list is varied and interesting. Service is first rate. I come here all the time!

One of my NYC staple restaurants to visit while I lived and now visit New York. In a charming part of Tribeca, this authentic Italian restaurant has the classics made with simple fresh ingredients but with an elegant presentation. The flavors are so amazing! My favorite is going during lunch and having wine and my favorite caprese sandwich on the East coast or a really delicious pizza that's just the right the size. The atmosphere is very relaxed and down to earth with an Italian, natural lit, sophisticated yet warm and inviting feel. Its a great place to go when its warm out since they have tables outside and great to go in when its cold because of the warmth and delicious smells and tastes and nothing like a big bold Italian wine on a cold day with a delicious pasta dish! The owners Leo and his wonderful Wife are always around and are so welcoming! I know their boys work there as well, so its nice to go to a local authentic Italian family run restaurant. I am always remembered and greeted and treated with such kindness and always love digging in to my favorite foods! I rate it a 5
