The food was very good. The service was good until it got busy. They needed another server- the one server they had was overwhelmed. He acted as waiter and busboy and cashier, it was too much. The air conditioning did not work, it was extremely warm in the restaurant. I would not return in the summer for sure. I might give them another try in the fall or order from there because I liked the food.

The food was really excellent, from appetizers to dessert. The service was polite and just right. The only thing missing was the ambience. We will definitely be returning.

The food here is consistently delicious—carefully prepared, nicely presented and made with very good quality ingredients. Plus the atmosphere is friendly, happy and relaxed. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the UES. You’ll be really happy you chose it!

Disappointed that there was no full liquor service, but my own fault for not doing my homework. Otherwise outstanding, and we will return when next in NYC.

First time. Remeber this place in it's old location. Nice to see no have Gino's famous wallpaper. Without a vibrant bar its hard to believe in the Gino's aura. The food is good and service accommodating. Portions are great. We will come back.
