Becco for pre-theatre dinner?

I had a wonderful Italian dinner here two years ago. I%26#39;d love to go back before attending the Wedding Singer at 8 p.m. (Saturday evening, July 8th). Is the restaurant still excellent? And, should I make reservations now or wait until I%26#39;m in Manhattan? I noticed that they are not listed on OpenTable.com.

I didn%26#39;t think it was excellent two years ago. I thought it was okay, but so loud I haven%26#39;t been back. There are other Italian restaurants if you are interested... ViceVersa has good food and a nice atmosphere...Bettina likes Orso...there%26#39;s a place called Roberto Passon I heard was good but haven%26#39;t been yet.

If you have your heart set on Becco call now for a reservation.

Thanks for the tip. I fell into Becco%26#39;s on my last trip after searching for other restaurants without reservations, so my judgement may have been off that eventing.

I%26#39;ve made reservations for ViceVersa. Thanks again!

I used to like Becco before they enlarged. Since then the tables are too jammed together, and sitting upstairs is like being in Siberia. The all-you-can-eat three-pasta special is still a good deal.

In order of preference for Italians, I%26#39;d try Orso, Lattanzi, ViceVersa, Osteria al Doge, Maria Pia. Actually, number one would be Carmine%26#39;s, but not for pre-theater and only with at least four people.
