    IL PUNTO is an absolute gem of an Italian restaurant! It's got the great feel of a small neighborhood restaurant where the owners and the staff are clearly focused on giving customers a warm and gracious dining experience. The atmosphere was really welcoming and was quiet enough to actually hold a conversation....rare these days. The service was generous and very prompt (kudos to Eladio and his colleagues for taking such good care of us...it was a great team). And the food was just delicious....we had the bruschetta (wonderful!), the Il Timballo pasta dish, the Milanese di pollo chicken entree, and finished with probably the best tiramisu we've ever tasted (the Tiramisu al Caffe). Altogether, the best dinner we had in NY on this trip. And thank you to Tony, one of the partners, who came around to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and engaged us in a couple of great conversations....much appreciated! We would highly recommend this place and will definitely have dinner there again the next time we can. Try it....you'll love it!

    The food was really great. The service was friendly. We had a nice bottle of Italian wine. The noise level was extremely high though. We had a wonderful night.

    We chose Il Punto because it is very close to Broadway. To our surprise the food was excellent— all three of us had different seafood entrees and we were all happy. The also had a good selection of after dinner drinks. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The place was very quiet, and seemed authentically Italian, which was nice. And we finished in time for an easy walk to our show.
