    As a visitor from London we needed somewhere to have a Christmas Day lunch. This one happened to be open when I was looking about a month ago from the UK and we have a fairly local Eataly in London. This was great, with a fun atmosphere. Just a bit pricey but I've found that in NYC generally. I would visit again. The panetone was fab

    I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!

    The restaurant was very festive and lively. We very much enjoyed ourselves as it was what we were looking for. The service was excellent! Our waitress expertly handled the high volume of customers. We never waited long for our cocktails and the food was out in a timely manner. The cauliflower appetizer was outstanding. Dinner, meh but overall we had a grand time!!
