A solid neighborhood Italian spot! Highly recommend the mussels, the lasagna and the prosciutto pizza. The sausage broccoli rabe pizza is a bit too heavy on broccoli and we were disappointed by the tiramisu despite the other reviews, it tasted very bland to us!

Maybe they were having an off night. These things happen. But, this was not a good overall experience. Let's start from the top. The hostess did accommodate my request to move outside and it was much appreciated as the weather was lovely. I got seated right away. Nice. The street corner this place is on is lovely outside as well. Kind of crazy and chaotic inside when things get busy. Otherwise, the hostess was generally curt and not the sort of person you want to put front of house. She made it seem like she was annoyed to do her job or when I asked for a fork. Also, when interfacing with an iPad, it's key to not use that as a wall to the person as best you can. Again, maybe she was having an off night. Second, the waiter was having some sort of emergency and was on his mobile right in front of me for 10 minutes while I waited for service. Now, emergencies happen. NOT his fault. But to the manager of this place, you pinch hit and put another athlete on the field. You don't wait until I walk into the restaurant to ask for service. Now, my friend (who is notoriously late) hadn't arrived so they may have thought I was waiting but the key thing to do is to ask. Prosciutto and melon appetizer. Good. Solid 3. Love the sea salt on the salad. Pino Nero was delicious. Had 2 glasses. Pappardelle with Pork Ragu. Ouch. No good. The sauce was terrible. Watery and without richness of any kind. Take that off the menu immediately. It's an embarrassment to Italian roots. As someone who was in Italy 4 months ago, this would have been laughably unacceptable there. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse and flourless chocolate cake. Both good but completely uninspired for an Italian restaurant. And back to the service. Once our waiter was back in the game, he never asked how we were doing and it always felt like we needed to flag him down. Weird. All in all, this is a pass.

Malaparte has a strong reputation in the area so figured to give it a go. The place is small and tables are tight but that is nyc. We started with the beet salad and tuna salad app. Both were delicious. The rigatoni pesto and paparedelle bolognese were lovely. Could have been a little more al dente but all good. The pork chop special was a play on milanese style but the pork chop bad a parmesan topping. It was good as well. There were only two desserts that didn't jump out to us so didn't go for it. Wine selection was good too. I would recommend and come back. 4 stars.

Amazing. Large portion, crispy but not overcooked. Filled with some of the best ricotta I've had. WouldContinue to get this dish since it was so good.

Walked in on a random Thursday evening around 7pm and we were told the wait was about an hr. Make sure you get reservations in advance! At the moment they didn't even have seats at the bar, so of course we waited. The wait was definitely worth it. The food was absolutely amazing- the spaghetti was creamy and tasty. The lasagna's sauce was so delicious. We decided to end with the chocolate mousse which was creamy and easy to eat but I wish we also tried the tiramisu- will be coming back for this on a weekend!

I just enjoyed Malaparte in West Village with a few friends. The restaurant itself is adorable & quaint. We went for dinner on Friday & while super busy, the staff were friendly, service was quick & they made great suggestions for wine. As you can see from my photos, it was the clean plate club! I really enjoyed every dish we tried & the family feel of this place. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at Malaparte this weekend! Located in the trendy West Village, the atmosphere at this cute Italian restaurant is super chic with nice ambiance. My friend and I each got a glass of red wine, and ordered a few dishes to share amongst each other. We had the seared tuna with was so fresh and lemon-y, and then we also had the mushroom pizza and the pesto pasta. Everything was such good quality, and the service was excellent. There are so many amazing restaurants in NYC to try, but I still definitely want to make an effort to come back here again in the future!

Came with a friend for a nice catch up dinner during the week. We got seated in the outdoor heated tent, which was quieter and easier to have a conversation. Inside was quite loud and lively, and pretty packed. Definitely make a reservation. The food was good! The pasta was freshly and full of flavour. There was a bit of a mix up with payment at the end of the night. Our server got the cards mixed up with other tables that were seated under the outdoor tent and then at one point; they couldn't find one of our cards. It turns out the waiter had dropped it within the restaurant.Other than the payment issue, everything else was great.

Coming to dine at Malaparte was truly meant to be, considering that Halibut was one of the featured food specials. It was phenomenal and perfectly complimented by delicious asparagus and roasted carrots. Our dining party also enjoyed delicious grilled salmon and pastas. The bread was fresh and the wines were affordable. Topped off by a super yummy dessert (Tiramisu), our overall food experience was great.We dined inside and the ambience was cozy and comfortable. The restaurant also has lots of outside seating. The service started off simply perfect: attentive and friendly. As the evening moved on, the restaurant became busier and busier; as a result, the service became much slower and less attentive. While understandable, I still believe there is room for improvement there. Overall, this is a fantastic Italian restaurant!
