Bona Petit Great place with a large group. ( 8 or more ) Appetizers are excellent, Pasta is great . Wine is good for this family style restaurant. Have always had good service and at times good entertainment. Have been there many times. One of our all time favorites in New York. more

Yes it is in Little Italy which is now a tourist haven, but if you are with friends or a group then it is a fun place to eat. I hate to give it just an average rating because we had so much fun and the food really was good. We had the 5 course meal. If your going to... more

Longtime favorite of my hubby's peeps, it's not the best food in Little Italy...but it may be the most fun. The house wine has improved, and family style is still the ONLY way to order. Take your entire crew! more

One of my favorites in NYC!! If you go, definitely get it Family Style, even if it's just 2 of you. Its $26 per person for 3 courses and $30 for 4 courses (you can decide as you go, we never make it to the 4th course!) First course comes with out of this world mozzarella with tomatoes and basil,... more

Famous for their family-style dinner that consist of cheese, pasta, main and dessert. We never get to the main because the portion is so huge. A group of 10 ordered the dinner for 8, but still could not make it... Staff are friendly and really cheerful. Good place to have a BIG party! more

A group of three of us had a terrific meal -- we loved the family style serving. The first course of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and a drizzle of olive oil was extremely flavorful. Excellent tomatoes and nice cheese. Subsequent courses were outstanding as well... The place was noisy, but it IS an Italian restaurant after all. Our servers were very... more

Glorious food, and a shining beacon in rapidly disappearing Little Italy, but the restaurant itself is crowded and cramped, the prices are pretty high, and they didn't give us a menu or tell us the prices. more
