    Everything was perfectly prepared and sumptuous. I only gave the food four stars because it felt wrong to put it on the same level as some of the best service I have received in years. Wonderful lunch.

    Amazing food terrible service that made us regretting coming here. There are plenty of good places in nyc so the fact that the service is so horrendous (attitudes and slowness)I recommend to skip it.

    We went here for a Restaurant Week lunch, and now, we can't wait to go back to try many of the items that appear on the regular lunch and dinner menus. We had the panzanella salad, and the mozzarella and tomato salads to start - both were fresh and flavorful, and perfectly dressed. Then, we both had the Tuscan fried chicken - a huge portion of three pieces, each of which was in a delicious, crispy batter, and the chicken was moist and perfectly cooked. For dessert, we splurged, and ordered an ice cream from the regular menu - cannoli ice cream, studded with dark chocolate and orange rind. One of the best ice cream flavors we've ever tasted. Our server was professional, engaged and helpful. Definitely worth a repeat visit...or two or three
