    Everything we ordered was so delicious. We had the little gem Cesar salad, the Manti, the fried Moroccan chicken for two, and a side of Brussel sprouts. The standouts for me were the Manti and the chicken. Our server was also great and surprised me with a Kadayif cheesecake for my birthday. I really loved the vibe of the restaurant and look forward to coming back!

    If you come to NYC be sure to get some real Italian food. Trattoria Trecolori checks all the boxes for what you want in an authentic Italian restaurant. The service is outstanding from start to finish.The bread is served hot, with your choice of oil, butter or balsamic. They have a full bar and nice selection of wines. We got the calamari as a starter. It was crisp and lightly battered. Fantastic. I got the chicken parmigiana. It was a large piece with a ton of melted cheese on top and came with a side of spaghetti. My wife got the chicken masala with mushrooms. It was cooked just right. This place has all the things you are looking for when going out for a meal in NYC.
