Via Carota

Worth it. In 2023 Pete Wells, restaurant critic for the New York Times, ranked Via Carota the fourth best restaurant in New York City so the demand will see no end.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Inspired Tuscan cuisine takes center stage, start with bruschetta while perusing the pastas on offer. The cacio e pepe and wild. If seafood is more your speed, the grilled octopus & green olive pesto gets my vote.

Via Carota is an Italian restaurant that opened to a lot of fanfare, being owned and operated by two of NYC’s most renowned restaurateurs.

Via Carota is an Italian restaurant that opened to a lot of fanfare, being owned and operated by two of NYC’s most renowned restaurateurs. I’ve been haphazardly trying to snag a reservation for the last two years, to no avail.

The hard to get reservations are available 30 days in advance, and go live on Resy at 10AM daily.
