    Was really looking forward to a New York Italian meal with my wife. But afterwards we both thought it was just 2.5 star experience. Our starters were the best part of the meal. My a de only ate half her entree and mine tasted pretty bland. I tasted hers and it was also bland. I ordered a thin crust pizza and was not impressed. My dessert was chocolate mousse, normally a favorite of mine, but I didn’t love it. I ate about half. My wife didn’t finish her dessert. I also ordered a drink that never came so I cancelled it at the end. There was no apology. I won’t be going back. Too bad.

    Bustling place – maybe a little too crowded for my taste but they did move our table to a more private one when we asked. Food is delicious but it comes out pretty fast. It’s fine. I just think it’s best to go on a non-Lincoln center show night.

    For the first time both the food and the service was very disappointing. The server was not very pleasant and part of that might not only be the fact that is was a weekend but also that we were literally sandwiched into a corner—uncomfortable and dark. Moreover, the pancakes were bland abs barely edible. I know you can do better!

    Delicious food is what I will remember the most. I was very impressed with the garlic bread, spaghetti and short ribs meatballs, calamari, and dessert. The atmosphere was also relaxing and welcoming.

    A NY classic. Been there many times before or after events at Lincoln Center. I've never been disappointed.

    As usual, the antipasti were great. Our main course, veal, was dry. The overall experience would have been better if our table was not in an airless corner near the rest rooms.

    Always an amazing time - Adrian and Carlito at the antipasto bar made it a memorable night! The holiday decorations are magic.
