   Food was quite mediocre, especially in comparison to other restaurants in the area. Order came out disjointed and only in pieces so couldn't pair mains and sides.

   Had dinner on patio. Nice venue and not as noisy as some indoor restaurants. Food good although it took quite a while to be served. Overall good experience

   One of the worst meals and service we’ve ever had in NYC. Very disappointing as I’ve dined here before with a friend October 2023 and remember it being a great meal / service. Not worth the price, even with a Zo discount. Hope there’s an audit of the kitchen soon. Our rice ball was flavorless, the bread was stale and one pasta was under cooked, the other over cooked - both with bland sauces.

   Nothing memorable. The burger was mediocre at best. Wilted (and past its prime) broccolini as a plate garnish. Lodi in days gone by was reliable; no longer. Too many reliable NYC choices to return.

   I had high hopes, anticipating a dining experience comparable to my visits across the way at Le Rock. Unfortunately, this restaurant fell short in delivering the ambience, attentive service, and, most crucially, the exceptional food I was expecting.

   I’ve loved this restaurant since it opened and I’ve eaten there many times- even loved it more when there was a bakery on site, but that’s another story. Suffice to say that the kitchen had an off night. My Pork Milanese was overcooked, and my side of greens suffered from unfortunate additions that weren’t green, and they lacked flavor. Such as my regard for this place that we will return, hoping that the many lovely meals we had there in the past will continue to be the norm. Service by the way, was excellent.

   Good Italian inspired cocktails and good Italian inspired food in a very central location. Good selection for vegetarians.

   Lodi had great reviews so we booked it before an Off Broadway show. We were sat immediately and the service was excellent. I have three "observations" of our experience. One, the table next to us was unreasonably loud. This was not Lodi's fault. Two, it took a long time for our 2nd round of drinks to come from the bar which meant that we were done eating by the time the drinks arrived. Not the end of the world but it would have been nice if this was acknowledged. And third, the pasta portions are very small. In true Italian fashion, the pasta is sized with the expectation that you will order a "main" as well. For our family with two teenagers, it wasn't really enough food. Having said that, we all agreed that the appetizers and pasta was excellent. I would rate it highly for location - especially if the weather is nice.

    Delicious food - well executed and very authentic, desserts the size of our heads (would recommend sharing), and a fantastic well priced wine list. Our waiter was absolutely gorgeous - such a friendly and helpful man, professional yet exuded warmth.
