Never been before and recommended it to my friend as a pre-theater option. We loved it! The food was excellent - the Salmon entree and Penne vodka, as well as meatball appetizers, were delicious. Not sure why we were sat in the bar area, when there were plenty of seats in the back, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the food and the service was attentive, too. We will definitely be back — maybe to another location, as it seemed to get a little loud in in the bar. But the food is excellent and reviews are all positive….for a reason!

The service was terrible and the manager was unsympathetic. The food took forever, was undercooked and we had a little over 10 minutes to eat before our show. We got there at 7 30 and told them that we needed to leave by 7 40 an ordered immediately. My wife's food came out at 7 25 and mine at 7 30. No one seemed to care. To add insult to injury, the vegetables were understood.

I have dined at this restaurant numerous times in spite of the fact that it is very noisy. The food is excellent and its proximity to the Broadway Theatres makes it worth it. Before ordering I asked the waitress if the Oriechette was made with a white or red sauce. She told me olive oil and garlic. When it was delivered it had a red sauce. When I questioned the waitress about it, I got no apology but was told that I could return it for something else. I decided to keep it due to time concerns but did not think she handled it properly. It was delicious so why am I complaing?

This is a great go-to Italian restaurant that is delicious yet not overpriced (for New York City prices)when you need to find a restaurant in Midtown/theater district. It never disappoints! My wife who cannot tolerate/eat regular pasta loves the zucchini pasta dish and I love their pasta Arribiata!! Others at our table enjoyed the chicken Parmesan and the Caesar salad is excellent!!

Went for "Artisan Gluten free pasta", but looked and tasted like boxed. The sauce was good and decent portions, but disappointed to not have homemade pasta for the price. My hubby had regular pasta and it didn't look or taste homemade either. No gluten free desserts were offered when asked directly. Even though they serve ice cream on cake, it wasn't offered as option on its own.
