We had reservations for this place but when we showed up for dinner on time and the place was closed. We planned our entire day around going here and they did not warn us the place was closed.
The wait staff was superb; all warm and friendly and helpful. The music was AWFUl, with celine Dion screeching over the whole restaurant. Food was pretty good, but please, keep the music quite, preferably Italian or classical.
Great Italian bistro in mid town. Always a good experience. consistently good food.
Our first visit and we plane to return regularly. Food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Great wine list too.
Amarone is the perfect, quaint restaurant for a pre-theatre dinner or to celebrate a special occasion. The intimate, quiet setting and personal service make you feel right at home, even if it's your first visit. The staff is friendly and attentive to all your needs. So many outstanding choices on the menu make it hard to choose, which means you'll want to come back again to try something different. The prices are reasonable and you'll be happy you didn't choose one of the more expensive "touristy" restaurants in the theatre district. They were nice enough to help us celebrate a 50th birthday with a delicious slice of tiramisu, a candle and a chorus of "Happy Birthday" to make it the perfect evening.
Service was very good. They did bring out 3 of 4 meals then 5 minutes later the last one. Very attentive bus boys. The quality was very good.
The biggest negative was a lack of a lunch menu. You were forced to pay in the twenties for lunch portions. I don’t know if the portion is larger at dinner but I doubt it. It seemed to be their only menu.
It was the only one online also.
We had a great dinner. Each entree was done perfectly. The pasta seemed fresh and the plates were not drowning in sauce. The wine selection was good and the service attentive.
Hello Tim, Thanks for penning down a wonderful review about us. We're really glad to know that you liked the food and the service. Hope you'd stop by more often.
Lunch for three prior to visiting the theatre. Service was attentive, food was great, atmosphere was very conducive to conversation. Lived the music as well.
Thank you Cathy for your lovely review. Can't wait to have you back.
Anniversary- they were wonderful

We understand that even though you found the food to be great, the experience wasn't exactly perfect and we deeply apologize for that. We truly apologize and promise that we'll do better next time if you do allow us the opportunity to serve you again.
Lovely, intimate and traditional Italian restaurant. Service was excellent and unobtrusive. I enjoyed a delicious butternut squash pasta and started with a very nice spinach salad with toasted almonds, bacon and pecorino cheese. Would definitely go again!
Maureen, I am happy to hear, that you enjoyed our service and food. You are always welcome to return to Amarone and try more delicious dishes.
Amarone is a go to Italian restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen! Went initially on the recommendation of the WestinConcierge and have been coming back for the past two years!
Barry, Thank you for your positive review. Looking forward to seeing you again at Amarone
Excellent food and service!!!
We needed to eat early so we could get to an 8 pm concert, and we lucked into this charming little restaurant. The lobster ravioli was a delicious special, and the recommended Sardinian wine was fabulous. Can’t wait to return!
I haven't eaten at Amarone in a couple of years but I was going to be in the neighborhood and made dinner reservations. It was as good or better than I remembered. Wonderful wine selections, delicious food, attentive service and pleasant atmosphere. We had a wonderful dinner and left there very happy. Have had a family reunion dinner there in the past and they outdid themselves then too.
The tables are packed in tight and the noise is tremendously loud. They were very crowded on a Saturday night and the service was sporadic. The food is reminiscent of a catering hall or school cafeteria. Not terrible but made with little effort and the most meager of ingredients. The cocktails are good. I would recommend this restaurants for tourists with teen aged children.
Lovely relaxed place. Excellent food and service. Romantic ambiance.
Very disappointing. Portions were good but food over cooked and not particularly flavorful. Honestly felt like they didn’t care. Service was good
Lovely, peaceful restaurant on 9th Ave, just outside the hubbub of Times Square. The food and service were both excellent, and it was perfect for a business luncheon. I will definitely be back.
Nice quiet table with very good service. Food was very good. For NYC prices were good.
My family always has a great time whenever were in town and the food is very good
Garkat, thank you your the positive review. We are happy you choose Amarone as your go to restaurant whenever you are in town. Looking forward to serving you and your family again.
There is little here that actually tastes authentic (like the poor example of bread and bland olive oil). It’s relatively expensive, mediocre Italian food in a hugely cramped setting with ok service. You can do so much better elsewhere that it’s hard to recommend this place.
Been coming here for 20 years. We're treated like famiglia!!
Went to the restaurant for lunch on a Saturday, Nothing less than wonderful on all aspects. Only neagarive is that the wine selections are mostly on the price side, would be nice to include more choices.

We have never had a bad experience at Amarone. It is a reliable locale right in the theater district. Food and service are excellent. New waiter (Sam?) who served us Sunday evening was especially polite and professional. Definitely recommend.

Amazing place! I went through Zagat's recommendation and Amarone showed up as one of the good choices to eat good Pasta in NY! Therefore, I decided to try it for first time. I wasn't wrong with choosing Amarone. The food was spectacular, wine was excellent and with perfect service. The place is so comfortable and pleasant to talk with friends and enjoy a great Pasta. I recommend it a 100%. I would definitely return to this excellent Restaurant!

They made a mistake on our reservations and we were delayed a bit, but they were open, honest and resolved the issue the best they could with great communication! The food was wonderful!
Welcoming, fun, and intimate. Excellent salad and pasta.
Edward, we are so happy to know that you enjoyed your visit to Amarone. Can't wait to see you soon.
Excellent. second time back! Great food and service.
Wonderful to hear that you had a great time. Looking forward to seeing you a third time at Amarone!
Spinach pappardelle was excellent but the portion could have been a little larger.
Hey, Thank you for considering us for dinner, it means a lot to us. Peter, I hope you can give us another try soon and I am sure you will find the best option for you on the menu. Thank you for dining with us.
Cozy authentic Italian restaurant reasonably priced. Went before a show and it did not disappoint. I had the squid ink fettuccine with mussels, clams, lobster, and shrimp. It was absolutely delicious! The other dishes at the table were a tomato based pasta with shrimp, also very yummy and a filet of branzino. Had a yummy mascarpone gelato and chocolate cake to end the meal. Great experience!!

Amazing food and service. Only complaint is that tables are a little tight and we were seated in a very busy part of the restaurant.

Had the most leisurely and delicious dinner I’ve had in a long time. This will be a staple stop every trip to NYC from now on. Placed filled up FAST with the theatre crowd, so make sure you make reservations well in advance.

Shrimp was overcooked. But otherwise I would say the food was "good". I might go back if someone else wanted to go there
Always great food and service. Been living out of NY for 10 years so always taking a chance visiting our old spots, but we are never disappointed at Amerone
Hi, Thank you for joining us for dinner. We're pleased to see that you found the food to be delicious. All in all, your review reaffirms us that we're doing our job right and heading in the right direction. Looking forward to your next visit
Liked my chicken paillard. Bread was good not great. Would have liked it better if they served it warm and with some salt and pepper on the table. Two pastas were good although a little on the small side. Good service.
Absolutely the best lasagna I have ever eaten. We were celebrating the holidays and grabbed a quick meal before our show, the service was impeccable along with great food. Definitely, a destination restaurant from this point forward!
Great food, great service and full spectrum of wines!
Second time to stop by this neighborhood gem! We have always had great food here and it is priced well for what you get for NYC. Wine list is extensive but they also have great glasses of wine too.
