There needs to be more to each line than just “Handcut noodles – $135”. It’s like they went out of the way to add as little detail as possible along with a crazy price. Happy birthday BJ btw 😇😜

I swear in the past there was a line that just said “the figs” for like $45. If the staff has to explain the other details of a dish to every person, it should be on the menu

To be fair, there’s only so many letters that come in the box 😅and I’m pretty sure the captains describe the specials in more detail.

The waiter does usually describe every special anyway so it doesn’t bother me. It’s a nice tribute to old school nyc slice shop and deli menus. Also, they basically have the same specials every time anyway.

Is this in US dollars????

Hard pass.

These are just the specials. I know some people love to hate on it but I thought Torrisi was worth every penny.

No, it’s not annoying. They’re not gonna break down every component in a small magnet board.

I don’t agree. If you’re at a really great restaurant you can likely just let the kitchen do their thing and get the details when the food is delivered.

Their handcut noodles are delicious.

Is it really $135 for hand cut noodles? Is that a single portion?

Wait, $135 for noodles???

I didn’t order it but did ask the server since I couldn’t imagine why hand-cut noodles would be priced at $125. Unsurprisingly it comes with caviar and some other expensive ingredient. I do like Torrisi but I don’t understand why they don’t make that clearer.

Definitely making a reservation for my next birthday.

Can anyone get me a Torrisi res tonight? 🤣

This is such a silly take to me. MFG restaurants are all about interactive experience, the storytelling is part of the superlative service.
OP god forbid you have to speak with your lowly server to get more information

NYC is the epitome of extremely over priced mediocre food . Obviously there are quality gems places, as in any city . Having just gone to Brooklyn and also eating in manhattan for one weekend . Not a single place was even remotely worthy of the prices they were charging .

They have birthday bjs on the house? Not bad.

“I don’t like the sign that displays the specials the the prices thereof” is a new kind of…privelige? whining? I dunno.
You’re going to a restaurant that you’ll be lucky to escape for less than $100 per person. The extravagantly hospitable servers recite you a novel about each special. There’s a sign on the wall with the prices.
When I was young and poor the worst thing about specials was not knowing if the crab stuffed steak would cost $30 or $100 because the servers didn’t list a price. I imagine the servers at Torrisi don’t because it’s gauche. But it’s there on the wall for you to see, no surprises. What’s the problem?
Did the server come to your table and demand you order from that menu on the wall without you having a printed one or telling you about the specials? Could you not remember which “hand cut noodles” special was listed up there?

Why’s there no price on the happy-birthday bj?
