Da Claudio

I absolutely love this place. Have never been disappointed with the food and drinks. Claudio and his staff service and ambiance are 2nd to none. Highly recommended

this will always be my go to! the food is always delicious, complimented with excellent and attentive service. I couldn't ask for anything better in a dining experience!

An atmosphere of elegance and comfort! Tucked in a narrow alley in the financial district sat this delicious Italian gem. We flew in from California and were dedicated to the food culture NY had to offer. As we stumbled upon Da Claudio we were greeted by our waitress Flora who sat us immediately with menus and waters. We started with the Tirimasu martini then Flora recommended a delicious wine to pair with our entrees. We had the wagu bolognese, calamarata, and the lamb ragu which melted in our mouths. The food is what kept us but what really won us over was the attentiveness from Francisco, a gentlemen from Oaxaca who made sure our needs were met while engaging in conversation with us about the many wonders of the city. Well deserved 5 stars! If you are in the area dining at Da Claudio is a must!

This restaurant was quiet at 9 PM. Perhaps the dinner crowd starts earlier. There were maybe four other tables with people when we arrived so we were seated quickly.

Bread with olive oil was provided quickly and a server was by our table to offer drinks. Definitely recommend adding some salt from their grinder to the evoo to elevate the flavor.

We ordered a meat and cheese plate to start.

The plates we ordered rigatoni and gnocchi came out promptly.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and really glad we did. It is a pretty large restaurant and really nicely decorated. It has a pretty big bar and lots of seating. The owner and server were very friendly. It was not busy as it was a bit late for lunch. They give you some nice soft bread and olive oil which we love. We ordered the beef carpaccio and two grilled chx sandwiches. The carpaccio was soooo good. It had mushrooms and arugula and it really was so flavorful. The sandwiches were fantastic. There was this grilled pepper on it that gave it such a nice flavor profile- a bit sweet but not too sweet. The chicken had been cut so it didn't all spill out when you took a bite which was very nice. It really was a ratty sandwich. If we had more time in NY, I would have come back to try their pasta. If there sandwich and carpaccio were this good, their past had to be really good.

Cozy restaurant with classic Italian food. I've sat at the restaurant and gotten takeout out. Both times it was very good. Love the intimate atmosphere and attentive staff. I love the dessert wine Mascato D'Asti and was happy to see it on the menu. Burrata and Garganelli (wagyu bolognese, parmigiano) was very good! Not sure they still offer all these items anymore but would return.

Such fantastic atmosphere; relaxing, clean, relaxing music... perfect! Stumbled upon this spot across the street from my hotel... so glad I did. Food, staff and attention to detail was amazing! Food delivery backed up with stellar service! A+++

This is a restaurant I tried on my first time visiting New York. It was definitely fine dining. We came here on a stormy night.

For my appetizer I had the frito misto. It was very good. I'm used to regular calamari so this threw me for a bit of a loop. For my entree I had the veal pasta. This was also very good.

The ground veal was very tasty and the pasta was made in house. I enjoyed my entire experience and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Manhattan.

Carpaccio was phenomenal! Simple but fresh and the pecorino mushrooms were a nice flair. Gnocchi was solid but not outstanding. Loved the ambience!

Service was aggressively "good". I was feeling a little harassed by the end of the meal and wouldn't have minded a bit of breathing room between dishes.

A bit of a late review, but came here earlier in the summer for a Friday evening dinner. I don't know what it is about FiDi but there aren't a ton of good sit down restaurant in the area. Nonetheless, I felt Da Claudio was ok. I ordered a glass of red wine that I felt was very mid. But perhaps I'm getting more accustomed to natural wine these days which has a very different flavor profile. Don't recall getting any apps which is rare but I ordered the rigatoni which I think had pancetta in it. It was good! Not amazing but solid.

we ended with some blood orange sorbet (i believe) which was a nice way to end the meal.
