Trattoria Zero Otto Nove
“After several amazing meals at both of his Bronx locations, I approached Zero Otto Nove Manhattan cautiously.”
“We shared several pizzas (Margherita and San Matteo were faves), pastas, chicken, veal, and some sort of strawberry dessert.”
“My fiance and I shared the la cirilo pizza, rigatoni salernitana, and this pasta duck special with shitake mushrooms and a marscarpone cream sauce.”

Enjoyed the last meal of my vacation here. We were surprised upon arrival on a Sunday night that it was somewhat empty. We both ordered pizzas the Carminuccio and Salcissia e Provola. The Carminuccio does not come with mozzarella so make sure you ask for confirmation before you order if you like cheese on your pizza. Other than not having cheese it was a delicious pie. The sauce had lots of flavor and a lot of tang but wasn't acidic. I found the crust to be a bit too thick and doughy for my preference I prefer a thinner crust. The potato pie was excellent, the seasonings used gave it a nice savory flavor. Prior to our mains we were given a basket of breads. The tomato focaccia bread included in the basket was excellent. Next time I would ask for just the tomato bread. Service was fast as the restaurant wasn't full there were quite a few staff milling around.
Stopped in for lunch during a December with my sister and son. Tried a couple appetizers – Brussels sprouts and potatoes – pan seared and very nicely done – then a dish that had squid ink and pasta – also good. The squid ink Tagliatelle at Domenicas in New Orleans is still my favorite. But still very good. Made a very good Boulevardier.
I really like the pizza here! Came here for dinner with friends one night and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their pizza and their attentive service. I had the diavola is a simple pizza consisting of tomato sauce, mozzarella and spicy sopressata. It was delicious!
What impressed me most about Zero was the impeccable service. Our drinks never reached the halfway point – the waiters were constantly refilling our glasses. They also let us take our time with the check which was refreshing in a city like New York. My friends and I were able to chat in relative quiet for a while after we had finished eating. I'd recommend this place for groups – they have a lot of space and the tables are spaced out so that it's not too noisy.
This is a great Italian joint in the heart of the Flatiron district – check it out.
During the week, I came for lunch. This place has been on the 2012 and 2016 Michelin Bib gourmand list.
I was immediately seated by the window. It was pleasant for people watching and enjoy the natural light.
The crust of the Cirilo pizza was excellent. The toppings were fresh. The cheese was good.
Nevertheless, I disliked the sweetness of the squash on a pizza.
The service was efficient and friendly.
The decor was classical.
The restaurant was clean, including the restrooms.
A unique pizza/italian restaurant in the Chelsea Flatiron area. It wasn't bad, but not the best but a good spot for a large group. The pizza is worth getting but its the only food on the menu that is impressive.
Food: It was OK. The pizza was good and unique. Their pizza with the puree is incredibly unique and tasty. The pizza tastes like the type you get in Italy so don't expect a NY slice. The black linguine dish I got was OK. Not the greatest, but decent.
Service: Impressive. The staff is attentive, well informed, and plentiful. It really is impeccable.
Price: Not bad taking into consideration the food, location. It's about right for NYC prices and what one would expect.
Decor: Pretty cheezy Italian wallpaper motif. It's a huge space with really high ceilings. Bathrooms are nice.
Notables: The unique pizza is worth nothing, but nothing else really.
I couldn't help but feel like I was eating in a tourist trap while at TZON. The restaurant is cavernous and has this faux interior that was more akin to what Orlando might interpret as Italian. The menu was similar…it was one of those fake authentic Italian menus. If you take a close look at it, it was Italian that a midwestern mom from Iowa expects in a real Italian restaurant. I'm being harse.
Anyways the price is moderate and it matches the level of dining. Good for tourists, twenty-three year-olds on a date, and groups, but definitely not for me.
Lapin and I came here the other day for a dinner. We made reservations for 7pm and were seated without any hassles. The restaurant had a cute decor and ambiance that made it feel like you are walking through Italy.
We were given a bread basket with two types of bread. Hands down, the focaccia bread is the best choice. We ordered the Risotto Alla Pescatore ($26) to share. The server was nice enough to split the appetizer between the two of us. Lapin and enjoyed it but I thought it could use a bit more salt but delicious, nevertheless. Lapin ordered the Ragu' Salernitano ($22) which he enjoyed. I ordered the Branzino Al Forno ($26) which was tasty and cooked to perfection. However, with price tag of $26, I felt like it should have came with something else and not plated in a haste (Yup, Dr. Seuss in training!). For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake ($11 – $12), Cannoli ($7-8), Hazelnut Gelato ($7) and two cappuccinos ($5 each). The desserts were delicious and rich. The cappuccino were strong and effective. They kept me wayyy passed 3am in the morning.
The food is tasty but not in align for the price tag for certain items. The staff was friendly but a bit absent-minded and forgetful. We were never told the specials but another waiter spent 30 minutes talking about the menu and their specials to another table of two girls. They also charged our credit card twice for the same meal. Along with spending a good portion of time with empty water cups, dirty plates in front of us, waiting to order and get our food.
5-star service! They treat you like royalty. They're warm, welcoming, and charismatic. They're patient (we asked them to repeat the specials menu about 3 times) and willing to explain what items contain.
Our server helped us with wine recommendations and checked on his often without being over bearing. He made our experience all the more fun with his personality!
The food was awesome – I got the special fish dish (similar to bronzino) and my friends both got the special truffle pasta dish.
Worth nothing: my friend was on a budget and didn't realize the truffle pasta dish was $35 — ask for prices on the specials if you're in similar situation!
Overall, a wonderful experience and I'll be back.
