We had a great valentines/anniversary lunch! Everything was delicious. The manager came over himself and talked us through the menu. He even gifted us our dessert, which was a delicious tiramisu! Best pasta hands down, feels like you are in Italy.

Went with my boyfriend as a last minute food option in Chelsea Market. WOW what a find. Sat at the bar for their happy hour and ordered their candelle and carbonara pastas — after recommendation from the bartender. The pastas were exquisite! So yummy and flavorful, not heavy at all and sat really well with us. The limoncello spritz (4 of them total, 2 each) were delicious and paired well with our pastas. Finally, at the bar we chatted with two lovely ladies who sat near us and really added to the vibe of our last minute dinner. Peep photos below!

If you are from Europe and craving for real Italian food (which is hard to find in the US), go here! Absolutely amazing experience. Yes, it is on the more expensive side, but worth it.

Pasta was amazing! Carbonara was unbelievable, pork cheek was perfection! Rich, creamy and fed the soul! Grateful we popped in for a quick snack wish we had tried more but would highly recommend and go back! The other 2 dishes pesto and Mac and cheese appetizer were just ok but I’d go back for the carbonara!

If you’re ever at Chelsea Market and looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this spot is an absolute must-visit. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the highlight was definitely meeting the manager, Augusto. He treated us like royalty, ensuring we had everything we needed and more. His hospitality really made the evening special. The food was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was prepared with such care, and you could taste the quality in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of traditional Italian pasta or something more unique, there’s something here for everyone. And if you enjoy a good drink, don’t miss out on the lavender cocktail—it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had, fresh, floral, and perfectly balanced. I could’ve sipped on it all night! The service was top-notch as well, with waiters who were attentive without being overbearing. They really made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s an absolute gem. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Pasquale, is the best waitress I’ve ever met. He gave us recommendations, explain to us every single plate that we were interested in. The place is really good, clean aesthetic, and elegant.

I wanted to try some real Italian food and saw a Groupon coupon at La Devozione. The manager Augusto made my visit pleasant and calm, answered all my questions and I felt relaxed. I tried a salad and had two pastas, I asked for one to go, the tiramisu was especially good. I like the idea of an open kitchen and you can also buy ingredients to make pasta at home. Since I took the coupon, my dinner was half the price of the receipt I enclosed and I thought it was a real bargain.
