I’ve visited Becco many times over the years, and it has always been a place I’ve enjoyed returning to with the people I care about. I’ve come here with friends, family, and colleagues for all kinds of occasions, so I walked in expecting the same comfortable experience I’ve had in the past.
When my sister and I arrived before our Broadway show, there were a few hostesses at the front. The first one we interacted with didn’t seem very friendly. She looked preoccupied and didn’t offer much of a welcome, which felt surprising based on my past visits. Another hostess then stepped in and began leading us to a table upstairs, but as soon as I saw the stairs, I let her know we couldn’t sit there because of knee issues. She moved us without any trouble, and the rest of the staff was friendly throughout the evening.
The part that left me disappointed was the inconsistency with the unlimited pasta trio, which has always been my favorite thing to order. For the first time in all my visits, I found myself sitting with an empty plate for long stretches, waiting to ask for more. They were extremely busy, and I understand that, but the long waits took away from the experience. If I had known it would be like that, I would have chosen a different dish.
The food itself was as delicious as ever, and the prices remain very reasonable compared to many other restaurants in the area. That part hasn’t changed, and I’m grateful for it.
I still care about this restaurant and hope this was simply an off night. I’ve had so many great meals here, and I’d love for future visits to feel like the Becco I’ve always known.
