What Benjamin T doesn't like about Via Carota:
Not amazing nor good value. Girlfriend had wanted to come here for ages. We got seated outside facing the sidewalk. Dishes were pretty basic. We had a pasta dish that was particularly watery. I went high and was still disappointed that’s when you know. Service was mediocre, not sure I’d come back. 1 star for Molly Shannon coming in while we were there. View all feedback. What Andrea S likes about Via Carota:
So lucky to have had found this hidden gem. Luckily they had room for walk ins because we couldn’t get a reservation. The salad was so delicious and refreshing I wish I had the opportunity to try other appetizers. The Cacio e Pepe and the Tagliatelle Prosciutto Parmesan was absolutely delicious! And ended with the hand chopped steak! Definitely recommend! View all feedback.

This is a beautiful restaurant and the food is of a high standard. I visited twice this week and found the food and service to be inconsistent.

It was good food and not absurdly expensive, but it was certainly overhyped given the extremely long wait. Nothing against it but I'm probably not coming back.

Ordered all their past dishes and they were awesome. Had to sit outside but the heaters made it comfortable. Highly recommend.

Bland bland bland. Worst WV food, much less Italian, I've ever tasted. Don't get me started on the regret for paying for it. Won't return.

Castelvetrano olives are placed in the center of your table and neighboring New Yorkers sit, sipping on bubbly Aperol Spritz or Negroni's and twirling long

Via Carota is large, extremely crowded Italian restaurant in the West Village.

We came here for a quick brunch on a rainy Sunday morning, and perhaps because of the weather, it was easy enough to get a seat by the window for two.
