Went here while traveling to NYC and had a great experience! The food was delicious. Quick service but didn't feel rushed. Would definitely recommend reservations because they filled up quickly!

On January 2, 2025, my wife and I had tickets to a Broadway play and, happening upon Osteria Al Doge across the street from the theatre, decided to have lunch there.

The atmosphere of Osteria Al Doge is clean, bright and comfortable. We were imnmediately seated and thereafter greeted by our server Aaron. The service was excellent, as Aaron answered questions about dishes in a clear, articulate and helpful manner. He was attentive without being intrusive and everything one would want in a server when dining out.

We were provided a bread bowl and plates of olive oil, a pleasant and delicious start to our meal.

As an appetizer, we ordered Polpo Al Carbone - grilled baby octopus, fingerling potatoes, celery, cherry tomatoes and Taglasca olive salad with salsa verde. We  are very familiar with octopus appetizers and in the many ways in which it is served.

My wife and I were split in our opinions as to the Polpo Al Carbone - she thought is was tasy and I thought that in the portioins near edges, the grill flavor overwhelmed the octopus flavor. Notwithstanding my prefreence for Spanish olive oil with octopus, the Itaiian olive oil makes sense in this appetizer (given that we were dining in an Italian Restaurant). My wife and I both laud the great taste of all that accompanied the octopus.

My wife ordered a special, paprdelle with funghi. She truly enjoyed the pasta and the wonderful flavor of the mushrooms. I, too, opted for mushrooms, choosing the Sacloppine Ai Funghi. The veal medallions and mushroom sauce did not disappoint in any way and the fingerling potatoes and spinach went well-complemented the protein and sauce.

We no longer live in New York, but visit often. We will not hesitate to dine at Osteria Al Doge when next we come into the City. With so many available chocies to Italian fare, I recommend Osteria Al Doge the next time you seek a quality meal and dining experiuence.

I made a reservation in advance for Saturday at 6 PM to celebrate my friend's birthday. When I realized we were running late, I called the restaurant to inform them, and they said it was fine. However, when we arrived just 10 minutes late, they told us they couldn’t accommodate four additional people. Eventually, they managed to find a table for us on the second floor, but it was in a narrow passage.

The seating was extremely cramped, and the temperature was uncomfortably hot. There was no place to hang our coats, so we had to pile them on the seats. While the food was good and our waiter did his best to improve the situation, the mood had already been ruined. Eating while sweating profusely was not the experience we were hoping for. Unfortunately, I’m certain I won’t be returning to this restaurant.

Food was excellent, I’m very picky, they had no problem making what I wanted. Started off with grilled octopus which was very good. Very happy with the meal and service.

This spot was perfect for dinner before a show. They were able to squeeze us in and the atmosphere was so cozy. Service was very attentive and checked on us often. We got the fritto misto as an appetizer and had the pappardelle ragu and the ricotta ravioli. Everything was very flavorful and yummy.
