Master Critic Review

Tasca 8.2
Upper West Side (Central)
Tasca blends Spanish and Latin flavors across multiple levels, including a lower floor that often hosts private events and large-format dinners. It’s a go-to on Columbus Avenue for paella-centered gatherings, wine-heavy celebrations, and corporate groups wanting something more distinctive than a standard banquet room.
Must-Try Dishes: Seafood paella, Croquetas, Grilled octopus
