The wine list is a deal, too, with more than 100 red and white Italian wines by the bottle available for only $18 (or choose from the pricier reserve list).
"Catering to the pre- theatre crowd, Becco is most notable for its $23 Sinfonia di Paste: the all-you-can-eat dinner with a choice of three pasta-and-sauce combinations; there’s also a good-value $25 wine menu."
"Better to stick to the pricier regular menu, which offers savory, family-style dishes in portions that are eminently well suited to sharing." Full review
"The consistently competent all-you-can-eat three-pasta prix-fixe dinner is also an affordable alternative to Becco's East Side cousin Felidia, as is the gently priced Italian wine list. " Full review
"In a cheery, casual space, diners enjoy savory dishes including Becco's signature braised veal shank with faro and butternut squash. L & D (daily). $$$." Full review
