"Everything is made to order, so the food is consistent, fresh and completely homemade." --Chelsea Life
Best value in town for food, drinks, party on New Year's Eve. Soon to be my fav for lunch, because the special is a good value, too. Great food, great service, great wine and great price. What more could one want from a Ristorante Italiano?

The food is fabulous. The staff is charming. The owner is delightful. The decor is beautiful. The service is top notch.
When the bill came I expected it to be a lot higher than it was. I live 50 miles away and make a trip here once a week and believe me it is well worth it.

Very good food, don't let the look fool you. You cannot beat the $10 lunch special, which includes soup or salad!

I came here for dinner with a large group after seeing a matinee at the Irish Rep, just around the corner. Service was excellent considering all the different orders, and the food was delish. This is a very comfortable neighborhood place. I've been here before and will definitely go again.

Restivo's is right around the corner from a close friend that I visit regularly. We sometimes do the brunch on Saturday
and are always pleased with the menu offerings. The quality, portions, and presentation are outstanding and very
reasonably priced. Dinners are delicious, too. We sometimes say, "let's try another place", but find ourselves sitting in the nicely laid out and furnished surroundings at Restivo's. The staff and service are superb. --Harry H on 10/12/2008

The restaurant is excellent from the bus boys to the host, without forgetting the wonderful food.

Great neighborhood place, meet regulars and locals. Friendly and efficient service. Italian home cooking comes in big portions. Terrific terrace, with sun until late afternoon. Watch the colorful Chelsea crowd pass by.

This is our favorite restaurants in the city. We go there often and always make sure to bring friends who are visiting town. The staff and atmosphere are welcoming.
