Frommer's Review

Elegant but not pretentious, Trattoria No. 10 is a long-time, dependable favorite with downtown office workers. A professional restaurant designer once told me he considers this one of the best-looking restaurants in the city: The burnt-orange tones, ceramic floor tiles, and gracefully arched ceilings set a dining-in-Italy mood. The house specialty is ravioli, which can be ordered as an appetizer or main course (recent fillings included butternut and acorn squash topped with walnut sauce, and homemade Italian sausage and mozzarella served with spicy Arrabbiatta sauce). If you're not in the mood for ravioli, there are plenty of other worthwhile pasta dishes to choose from, such as farfalle with duck confit, asparagus, caramelized onions, and pine nuts, or the linguine with roasted eggplant, grilled tomatoes, and smoked mozzarella; there's also a daily risotto special. While Trattoria No. 10 serves beef, veal, and a decent variety of seafood dishes, the restaurant's strength is clearly pasta. For a lighter (and cheaper) meal, stop by between 5 and 8pm on weekdays for an all-you-can-eat buffet at the bar; $12 (with a $6 drink minimum) gets you tastes of beef tenderloin, shrimp, and various pasta specials.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
