Amazing food and service. The ambiance is very cozy, although the restaurant is pretty small. My friend got the lemon fettuccine, and I got the Alfredo fettuccine. The lemon sauce was a perfect ratio between that lemon flavor and also getting the creamy cheese flavor, and my Alfredo was not too heavy. The portions were honestly huge! We also got the fried calamari which was really good + Pinot Grigio.

Came for their espresso martini happy hour promo. After leaving from a nearby off-Broadway show. Service was fast. Waitress was friendly.

LES/Lower Manhattan you have my HEART! This place was so cute and cozy. The menu was not that big but it was speaking right to the heart. I was warned that the grappa was a drink to be care with but being a whiskey girl, i thought it can't possibly be that strong. I was wrong Backwoods white lightening moonshine has met its match, that's for sure. I ordered the Lemon fettuccine, and it was like Springtime in a plate. It was so good i could have ordered a second but i was among a stranger and didn't want to be big back Betty. It was so refreshing, it wasn't tart and there were no seeds and it just tasted like what life should taste like when it GIVES YOU LEMONS!!! delightful! I went almost two weeks ago and I'm still dreaming of it. I think I'll go again for dinner this week

Solid Cacio E Pepe (I hope so, given that's the restaurant's name!). The octopus was incredible, grilled to perfection. It was very crispy on the outside but still really tender on the inside. The suckling pig was ok, not memorable. I don't even think we finished the dish. The Cacio e Pepe was done well. The pasta had a nice al dente texture. The Parmesan cheese was creamy and slightly salty and the black pepper added a nice balance to the richness. The star is supposedly the cheese wheel show, but I was thoroughly disappointed. All they do in front of you is finish mixing the pasta and plate (and they don't even plate it fancy). I wish they put on an actual show, using a torch to heat up the cheese wheel, mixing the pasta in the bubbling cheese, etc.

Cacio E Pepe is a solid option if you're in the east village. Classic options that everyone loves and has something for everyone. If you'd really like to see the cache e Pepe tossed in a wheel of cheese then this I definitely the spot for you. The servers did a good job of explain everything, even the drinks. I ordered the orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage will my brother and sister in law both had the cache e Pepe. We all enjoyed our dishes but don't think anything was done above and beyond. Overall, a solid spot.

We made a reservation and was seated immediately upon arrival. The establishment is small and cozy. We dined for restaurant week and they offered 1 app, 1 pasta, and 1 dessert for $45. I was very happy with the portions, service, and taste! Burrata - loved the creaminess of the burrata with the prosciutto Meatballs - I thought were pretty standard in taste, pretty sizable portions! Cacio e pepe - get ready for your pasta to be swirled it in a cheese wheel! The pasta itself was creamy. Carbonara -I enjoyed the uniqueness of the jumbo rigatoni, the Paccheri had a lovely savory bite to the pasta Cheesecake - this was my favorite because the blueberry compote was to die for!! The cheesecake was pillowy and light. Tiramisu - not too sweet, tasty, and perfect size Cannoli - wonderful outer crunch of the cannoli and forward taste of the pistachio Highly recommend!!

Easy to make reservation online. They offer Cacio e Pepe served tableside swirled in cheese wheel. Large portions and yummy. Whether it's one person getting it or entire table they still swirl tableside....even if seated at tiniest table. Prices were good too. Yummy chianti as well.
