About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
A cozy addition to New York City's Theater District, showcasing the unique cuisine. Azalea's menu is unique for Italian restaurants. Simple and modern, each bite encompasses vivid flavors and traditions of the Brescia and Amalfi Coast regions.
The menu offers selections combining the rich, creamy sauces and hearty meats of Brescia with the fresh seafood and the delicate fruits and vegetables of Amalfi. Once inside, an 18-foot, gently curving mahogany ceiling serves as the blossom connecting the fine woodcarving of the front and side dining rooms and bar area. Georgia O'Keeffe's flower series surrounds guests as they choose from Azalea's distinctive menu and extensive wine list.
Azalea strives to be a place where extraordinary food meets exceptional service in a warm, comfortable setting.

    Service was spotty with waiter being "over the top" trying too hard to being strangely obtuse! Food was good and nice portions. Cocktails were "meh". With so many restaurants in the area I would not return.

    I loved this restaurant. I knew nothing about it , chose it because it was near the Winter Garden. Our waitress was lovely, the food was very good. It was quiet when we were there, however it was an off time.
