    My favorite spot when visiting the NYHS and AMNH. Food is better than most places nearby especially at lunchtime. Service can be slow and many servers aren't as knowledgeable as they could be but it doesn't stop me from bringing my friends and family. Know what to expect and enjoy it for what it is. Regardless of any negative experiences I've had I still consider this place a gem.

    It was great to have a restaurant of this quality inside the museum. The atmosphere is charming and lunch was delicious. It was a great idea to have the menu reflect the exhibit.

    Arrived at 5P.M. when they opened as we had tickets for the 6:30 lecture. We put in our order at approx. 5:10. We did not receive our salad or entrees until 6:00 P.M, after telling server at 5:40 that we needed our choices. My husband's chicken entree was cold and my salmon was under cooked. We couldn't send entrees back as we had to leave for the lecture, I suggest the restaurant open at 4:30 when there is a lecture. Also when checking inwith the maitre'D have them ask if you have lecture tickets. My experience was extremely poor, we will not eat at Storico aghain.

    StoricoResponded on November 22, 2022Good day, we apologize for your poor all around experience. This is so unfortunate to hear. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve you again. As for opening earlier on lecture evenings we cannot, lunch ends at 3pm and the time afforded between lunch and dinner service does not allow proper turnover service. Please let us know when we could have you back for lunch or dinner. Have a happy thanksgiving, and we look forward to having you walk out happier than you did prior. Thank you.

    Not at all crowded. The pasta dish was excellent. The only criticism is that there was no bread to mop up the tasty sauce. It was a very cold day and the table was in some sort of draft. Would certainly return, especially if touring the Historical Society.

    StoricoResponded on November 22, 2022Thank you for your kind words and we are extremely thankful for your positive review. Lamentably the cold air from the 77th street entrance always finds its way in. We look forward to serving you again. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. With appreciation, Team Storico.

    We hadn’t been to Storico since before the pandemic. The difference was shocking. The food was okay (but not particularly good), the service was terrible, the seats were filthy, and the ambience was non-existent. Such a disappointment because we used to be big fans.

    We were attending an evening lecture at the NY Historical Society, so Storico could not have been more convenient. Unfortunately, our waitress was not familiar with the cocktail menu; after several misunderstandings each resulting with the wrong order, the bartender personally came to our table to finally rectify the situation. The food is excellent, but the portions are quite small. Unless you are at a table along the perimeter, the seating is not very comfortable/cozy.

    A nice bright and somewhat roomy place to have a meal when visiting local museums. The food was good - and thankfully for a Sunday, not your every day usual brunch offerings. Service was nice, food came out quickly, and all and all a good experience.

    This was my first trip back since going in early March 2020 right before the pandemic shut everything down. It’s not the same. The food was fine, not great. The wait staff was friendly but no one seemed to know what they were doing or who had ordered what, etc. We had to ask for things several times. I wouldn’t say it’s completely gone downhill, and it’s certainly not gross but it’s not as good as it used to be.

    It closes too early (10pm) so we got kicked out! The waiter was not the most professional or even helpful but got the job done—mostly. Food is fantastic though — totally surprising how high quality and interesting the dishes were.

    I love this place, I love the look of it and the food is outstanding. The menu seems a bit limited but whatever I order is always delicious and this birthday lunch was no exception. We had an inventive mushroom pasta in a wide noodle roll which had been baked. It’s difficult to describe but it was divine. The Caesar salad was classical perfection. And they brought us an exquisite berry tart with a scoop of ice cream as a birthday treat on the house. The service could not have been better.

    The roasted cod with sofrito was very good but an extremely small portion. If that is all that is to be served as an entree then it should be accompanied by a vegetable, rice, potatoes or similar. The side salad was fine. My companion liked the onion tart and caesar salad. The atmosphere here is pleasant.

    I actually really like Storico. However, they should not take dinner reservations for 7:30pm if the kitchen closes at 8p! We were so rushed and hurried. Before the meals were even served, the waitperson was asking about dessert. It's such a lovely place, quite serene, but not when you're being pushed to hurry up and order and eat. Please extend your hours until 9pm or decline 7:30p reservations!

    Who serves caesar salad with chicken with the chicken on the side not on the salad? Who serves a panzanella salad without the bread cubes in it. And who is cleaning the table (asking for patron to turn in their napkins) before the customers have left the table. Sorry guys - this restaurant has gone downhill.
