Nice surprise visit. My daughter and I came to catch a show and for a weekend visit. This place was on the Hilton Grand Vacations list. Great service, food, and atmosphere.

Great place! The food was amazing, and Nelson gave us excellent service. We felt lucky to find this spot after a sunny afternoon in Central Park. We’ll definitely come back whenever we’re in New York!🗽

I'm stunned at how delicious this was. Everyone in our party loved their dish. Every component was executed to perfection -- grilled asparagus, piping hot mashed potatoes, delicious lemon butter sauce, perfectly prepared salmon. I doubt you can miss here.

Came to NYC for couple days and we liked this place so much we went there twice, which we almost never do. They have great martinis (2 for 1), Dolce Vita was my favorite. Beef skewers and calamari were great too

Don't mistake atmosphere for noise.<br>The waiters want you to have a good time and service is accordingly. Esteban D made sure of that.<br><br>One should note that the 2 for 1 Martini special is applicable for the same drink.<br>We ordered a Red Lantern and The Sicilian and ended up getting 4 cocktails and not two. Luckily the place we're staying is 50 meters away, so as long as one doesn't drink and drive all is good.<br><br>The Creme Brule fits nicely with a limoncello.<br><br>Factoring in the prize, all in all, 8.5<br>out of 10.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! Small restaurant and a little cramped but worth it! Waited about 20 minutes for a table during peak dinner hours. Would definitely recommend and go back if in NYC and are in the area again.

Amazing little place, good service but very busy in February when I went. I had to wait 30 minutes and I got a number and they called my number when they had a table available. They turn tables quickly and I was personally very pleased. The food came quick and they served bread before the main course and didn’t bug you while you were eating. I truly recommend for anyone wanting a nice dinner spot for a special occasion or just an impromptu dinner. Overall great service, great vibe in there and great food!

The pizza was incredible. Not a typical one and it was pleasant experience. So was the soup. The house wine is.. ok .<br>I had a cute experience: I asked for orange juice first thing and probably bc of my accent he heard oranges. He had no hesitation for the "unconventional" request and said immediately of course and brought me slices of orange. I found it so adorable and kind. The mistake turn out to be better and I was more appreciative :)

So, I might have only ordered one this in the menu so this isn't the most extensive review. I went on Valentine's Day and the wait actually wasn't terrible. Our server was attentive, but could have been a little friendlier. I hated having to squeeze in between tables to get into the booth part of the seat (I know this is not unique to the restaurant, but I'm not a fan.) The pizza was tasty though and the service was fast. I would go back again.

My family and I visited this restaurant during our trip and we were treated to a wonderful meal. The food was fantastic and the server was attentive and kind. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. It is a family owned business and we would definitely come again on our next trip to NYC.

Flew In from LA, took the subway to my hotel and needed a bite at 9:45pm eastern. Concierge recommended this place and she did me right. I got the mushroom pizza and it was so fresh with slices of asparagus. They were set to close at 10:15 on a Wednesday we’re gracious about my dining. Excellent Malbec. Excellent service. More than excellent atmosphere during Xmas time.

Oh my goooood! The food at this place was perfect as our last meal before leaving! The servings are PLENTIFUL. We will eat here again whenever we visit in the future! the truffle mac&cheese really was as good as our waitress said. She was super nice and friendly and helpful with deciding on our drinks. We got 2 of the small apps and our own entrees. I got the Gnocchi (seriously the creamiest ever - almost as good as the gnocchi I had in italy!) Husband got the Lasagna and he tore it up!<br><br>**I still think the Mac & Cheese 2 weeks later🤤**

So good, we came back again!<br>The service is excellent (thanks John M!) the food is outstanding, and the place is just the coolest.<br>Last night we ordered pasta, and tonight we had the pizza. Calamari both nights and it is delicious! Desserts are really good, we had the cannelloni and cream brûlée.<br>We will absolutely come here whenever we’re in NYC.

I love this place. Not a forced atmosphere (though it's often very noisy). Always delicious food and cocktails, nice staff. If you're not looking for something fancy but want to eat deliciously, this is the place for you!
