   Lovely restaurant with a cool view of the trains rolling in. The food was absolutely delicious, and it felt like a good value for the 3 course menu. We will definitely visit again!

   Lidia's is always a relaxing, pleasant, and appetizing dining experience. The food is great, the wait staff is engaging and attentive, and the wine is excellent (with a wide range to choose from). We eat there frequently and love it every time.

   Went here to celebrate a birthday with friends. Ordered an appetizer, and never got it. We were charged for it. Explained there was a person at our table with a nut allergy and ordered a dessert to be shared. They brought out an ice cream or sorbet with pistachios in it. Waiter was not a good listener.

   The restaurant was clean and our waiter was great. For the price, the food was a disappointment. Our two meals could have easily been replicated at home with no culinary training. The pork porterhouse lacked flavor and my wifes eggplant parmesan was not good (she threw half of it away). The bread was served cold, which may have been because we had an early reservation and it possibly had been stored in a cooler and had not come up to room temperature. The tables are close together, so do not go expecting any privacy. My water glass had a chip in it, which in the rare occasion happens. We do not splurge often in eating out, but it was our anniversary, so we tried it. If I were to ever return I would definitely go with the unlimited pasta, as it is served at your table from the cooking pan and looked very flavorful. Hoping your experience will be better than ours.

    Lidia's was very good, but, as a couple celebrating our anniversary, not outstanding. Food was good, but a little salty. Service was okay but not exemplary (between our appetizer and our main dish our server never brought us the extra bread she had asked us about). Surrounding are gorgeous.

    Tables are way to close together you feel crowded the entire time. The tables are so close I could hear our neighbors conversation and could have shared food with them. I would have felt more comfortable if they had a dress code as several guest were wearing pajamas. Food was great and our server Andy was amazing!

    We made a reservation for our anniversary. This was our first time eating at Lidia's and heard many positive reviews. I left very disappointed not by the service but the overall atmosphere and lack of privacy. We were seated at a very small table right in the walk way of the staff and what felt like on top of the people next to us. We might as well been having dinner with them. I would understand if I hadn't made the reservation for our anniversary and specifically noted that on our reservation. For the price and what Lidia's is advertised as it didn't meet expectations at all.

    As expected, Lidia's was fabulous! The food was delicious, from the appetizers (including fresh mozzarella), to the wine list, to the risotto and pasta dishes on the prix fixe menu, to the finish with a lemoncello. The service complemented the food and ambiance. It was a wonderful dinner.

    I have visited Lidia's a few times and found the atmosphere and the staff to be outstanding. The food has been good but not great. The salmon we had this past visit was cooked just right but had very little flavor or seasoning. The eggplant was good and steak was good (most expensive thing on the menu). I had lemon chicken and it was the best dish of the night. Seems like the food is a bit overcooked (pasta's). They are close to being great but not there yet.

    Because I worked at Lidia’s for 19 months back of house in the dish pit pre-Covid, I was already familiar with the staff, quality of food, ambiance. Dining there for me has always been an entirely different experience. It is so family based. Even now, having been gone for over three years, it is still family for me. And they continue to treat and accept me as one of their family. I’ve met Lidia on at least two occasions, have two signed copies of her books, enjoy watching her show on PBS, and when she makes guest appearances other times. Live long Lidia!

    Gorgeous restaurant, but the food left a lot to be desired. My girlfriends and I did the pasta trio sampler with their house made pasta - it was very underwhelming, and 1 of the pastas I actually thought was not edible because of the muddled flavor. Our appetizer didn’t come out before our dinner. Cocktails were good, nothing to ride home about. Unfortunately won’t be returning.

    Factory food in a factory atmosphere. Service was fast...no relaxing time between ordering and delivering. Salads were perfunctory; gnocchi was soggy and overcooked and the "duck" ragu was tasteless. The manicotti was delivered luke warm and the string beans were frozen and actually drooped. A miserable experience...Lidia should be embarrassed.

    We've been going to Lidias for 20 years, and tonight's meal was very disappointing. The salad dressing tasted very sour, and the Pasta Trio was very salty.

    Meatball appetizer was good. Cesar salad was mediocre-it lacked shredded strips of parmigiana and the croutons were terrible. The short ribs dinner lacked vegetables and the mashed potatoes tasted like instant-although the short rib and gravy was tasty. The gnocchi w duck ragu was good except it lacked any significant amount of duck.

    As always, the pasta trio (with salad and dessert) was superb! And our server was excellent - attentive and pleasant and took note that we were off to the theater and timed everything out to help us leave on time! I always recommend Lidia's for a great mean and great experience!

    It’s always enjoyable. I had the brasato. Another person had the salmon and a 3rd had the pasta combo. Caesar salads yummy. Heard the salmon was okay but nothing to write home about. The pasta medley was fun and and Tasty. The brasato felt too big a hunk of meat and I was looking forward to horseradish gemolata which I did not taste at all. Beautiful room nice attentive table service. We enjoyed!
