About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for business meals
Find the refined and easy elegance of Venice in the middle of East Midtown in Manhattan.

Osteria Laguna named for the beautiful waterways of the famed Italian city offers a spacious and stylish contrast to the busy workday bustle of 42nd Street. Located steps away from the New York Helmsley, United Nations and the Chrysler Building, this charming northern Italian space is easily accessible to business and tourist crowds alike. Floor to ceiling front doors, antique country tables and a classic 30 foot mahogany bar lend a sense of relaxed refinement to this airy and spacious getaway.

Osteria Laguna’s menu offers contemporary sensibility and flair to the classic tastes of Northern Italy with an emphasis on fresh wholesome foods. From classic to cutting edge, there’s something for every appetite. Perfectly balanced pasta dishes, mouthwatering risotti, or the amazing array of piping hot dishes coming out of the charming brick oven at the center of the restaurant.

    Authentic Italian food, vibe! Fabio, our waiter was excellent! Love this restaurant! We visit NYC 3-4 times a year, and this is a go to! Branzino, pappardelle lamb ragu, great pasta dishes…. Can’t go wrong. The wine list is a little limited, but the selection is fine! Always reminds us of our favorite restaurants in Italy! Great Italian atmosphere !

    We had a late lunch; so the restaurant was very quiet. The food was delicious and the service very friendly and efficient.

    Lunch here was very pleasant. The room is attractive, and the food was delicious. Particularly good was the day’s squid ink shellfish risotto, both in its taste and presentation.

    Love this place. Completely unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you step in you realize you're in an authentic Italian New York restaurant. I felt like I was in Moonstruck for a minute. Excellent waiters excellent food.

    Solid Italian cuisine. Really enjoyed the spinach pear salad and the raviolis with goat cheese. It was a rainy evening but the restaurant was still bustling.
