Pellegrini Ristorante Italiano-Bar

Great pasta dishes (I'm a sucker for pasta). Beautiful ambiance, bit hard to find tucked away behind Fat Albert's on 23rd Ave and 16th St. Great little patio great for enjoying good food and good wine with friends. Owner always around to see how your meal is, it is nice to have that independently owned vibe in our world of terrible corporate restaurants!

Not sure where others are coming from. I found this place by accident and me and my family are really glad we did. This is very authentic food and the atmosphere is great. Most people are used to Americanized Italian, ie. Olive Garden or that other place... and if that is for you then this place is probably not for you hence the bad reviews. Every dish tastes like something you would get in a true family Italian restaurant.

We will definately be going back and I cant wait to get the coworkers over for happy hour!

I gave them three stars because I want them to improve.  My real feeling is one star.  I live blocks away and would love to have an authentic Italian eatery near by.  But, this is far from Ok.  The bread was cold, the service needs improving.  We could not sit outside do to lack of staff.  Even though it was a beautiful day.  I ordered the special of the day.  It was chicken breast with a garden fresh sauce.  I did not know canned black olives were fresh fair.  I am going to stop here.  There is lots that needs to be improved.  I wish the owner the best of luck and I hope I can go back someday due to a advice of a friend.
