- JJenniferNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on May 4, 2025Our waiter and waitress were amazing. They made our experience wonderful and appreciated how accommodating they were. I think I lost my gold wedding band that fell off my hand while at dinner. I will call back tomorrow but if anyone found it— it’s very meaningful as my husband just purchased me a new band after 8 years of us saving up for it. Thank youMore infoTrapizzinoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Lower East Side•4.1
