A great surprise in the heart of Tribeca. Hidden amongst other building, if you pay attention you will see it. A great option to hang out with friends and family to have one of the best Italian food in NY and to talk. Yes you can really enjoy a conversation here. Not loud, not packed and the service is amazing. Definitely try the scallops!

My son and I were visiting New York from London and had a wonderful meal at Wolfgangs. The service was second to none. Our fantastic waiter was able to make helpful recommendations and accommodate our steak preferences resulting in a memorable and delicious meal. The Porterhouse was the best steak I’ve ever had, just make sure to save enough room so you can finish it! Highly recommend and hope to be back one day.
