Spectacular food, I had a veal meatball, bolognase with bucatini which was possibly the best pasta dish ever. Maitre d was informative, attentive and wonderfully amusing without being at all intrusive. Made my wife’s request for mixing and matching from the menu seem like a pleasure. A classic small NYC GEM!!!

First class Italian restaurant, with handsome, fashionable decor and a comfortable upscale vibe. Service was very capable, attentive and friendly. The cuisine was sublime. I had the best ribeye steak I’ve tasted in years, and the fish and pasta entrees my companions had were also flavorful and perfectly prepared and presented. A great experience.

We met early at 5:15 for our dinner and were happily surprised that it was very quiet and we would be able to chat easily to catch up with each other. We have been friends since childhood and it has been too long since we had a chance to meet with each other and just hang out together since we live in different states now. The food and the service were fabulous and the menu was extensive. The prices were, as in almost all NYC restaurants, not inexpensive and they had a nice selection of wines by the glass to choose from. The dessert was also delicious that we shared. I definitely recommend this place and I was surprised it wasn’t busy for the 2 hours we were there. The portions were fairly large too. Neither of us could finish our main courses. I’m glad it wasn’t busy when we were there, but a bit surprised, although it is summertime and a lot of regulars were probably away for Father’s Day weekend or traveling.

Dined at this restaurant in New York at the recommendation of the hotel. Made our reservation for shortly after we’d come out of a theater production. It was the night of the Tonys and every place was booked. Arrived at the restaurant and, with the exception of the bar area, it was empty. We were seated immediately. Water was poured, wine list was presented, bread delivered and small plates of appetizers (we didn’t order) arrived. All so fast it might make your head spin. I asked about the delivered apps. The response was in such a thick accent, I couldn’t understand although we deduced they were gratis. The primary server hovered to take our order. We reviewed the menu and felt rushed to decide. Got our ordered placed. Then, as two in our party were sitting on the side of the walking aisle, they were asked to scoot in tightly to the table so a sofa could be brought through from another section. Not sure why this had to be done right then or why it could not have been done prior to opening. It was a very tight squeeze and obviously very heavy for the two employees doing the moving. Immediately after, our dinners were served. The lobster bisque was delicious. Lots of lobster. Entrees were okay. Presentation was nice. My steak was tasteless, very hard to cut (medium-rare) and needed seasoning. Risotto was good. Don’t recall what everyone ordered and there weren’t any rave remarks. Servers hovered all the time. Water glasses were refilled too often. Servers were at the ready to clear our plates immediately, asking if we were done. We were asked if we wanted dessert. We declined. And then, the check didn’t come. Typical to an Italian establishment, we had to, finally, request the check. It was quite expensive for the rushed experience and overall quality of the food. In the time we were there, only three other tables were sat. One finished and left faster than we did.
