    We had a fantastic evening at Tony’s! First stop at the bar for martinis, made perfectly dirty! Once seated we received the run down on the family style dining, which was much appreciated. Our server from Kosovo was friendly and informative. The celebrity caricatures on the wall are fun but the food is why we came and we weren’t disappointed! Alfredo was divine, the best we’ve ever had. Don’t miss a stop here on your next trip to NYC.

    This is an excellent restaurant in the theater district. The managers and staff should be applauded as well as the NY Fire dept. when a pipe burst over the door creating a massive waterfall during our dinner service in January. They all sprung into action and had the damage under control in a very short period of time. The food was delicious and the concern from management and staff for us was exceptional. Thank you for a memorable evening.

    We had the most incredible experience! Our server Kazi was incredibly attentive and played a large part in making our tea time feel special. The tea was fantastic (we tried the mint, lavender, and fruit infusion) as well as the desserts and sandwiches. On top of that, the architecture of the room is breathtaking. I can’t wait to return!
