We have a Christmas tradition of coming here with friends, and the ambiance is always spectacular. The staff is kind, welcoming, and attentive. We started with the Caesar salad and oysters, which were fresh and delicious.
We ordered the Lobster Pasta à la Diavola as the special of the day. While the flavor was very good, the pasta was undercooked and quite hard. One of my friends sent it back, and unfortunately, it still came out the same way.
That said, this experience will not stop me from coming back. We genuinely love this restaurant, its atmosphere, and its people. I simply hope more attention is paid to consistency—especially with a dish highlighted as a special—because that level of detail is what truly sets a great restaurant apart.

A decent place for Italian!
The only thing that caught us off guard was the pumpkin soup, which was really good but it was a special and we forgot to ask for the price. But the soup cost $30, which (for me) is pretty pricey.
Other than that, the food here is pretty great. I particularly enjoyed the veal. The peppers that they serve are fantastic too.
The service was good. The restaurant has nice decor but it was a bit too dark.

The head waiter is nasty. He barks at his staff in front of the guests. The staff with red coats are the hardest workers and very nice, helpful and accommodating. The server we had was also gruff and not at all enthusiastic, helpful or nice. Food was tasty but portions were small.

Visited this renowned italian restaurant and once is enough. They seemed friendly enough, service was nice and old school which i harkens to old new york city dining however I think there is something a little grimy about announcing specials and not noting the price because I wouldn’t have gotten the lobster pasta special at the grand price of $76 not only was the portion not to par the taste did not justify the price tag. I literally couldn’t eat it. I had to take it home and it was forgotten in the fridge and thrown out. Shame. The tableside Caesar was a great display but was quickly ruined by the super tart and acidic taste of the dressing which was prepared from scratch table side. Give me the dressing from a bottle anytime please. This place is supposed to be an institution, it was just disappointing at how much it missed the mark. The cocktail was just okay of course overly priced at $26 and the tiramisu was practically inedible. One and done for me.

It was a cozy and romantic restaurant with black-tie waiters who were attentive and friendly but never intrusive. We had a good conversation with Jesus, who came to the table to recommend the dishes of the day. His recommendations on the NZ rack of lamb and the 1.5 lb lobster with seafood pasta were spot on. Both dishes were delicious. The rack of lamb was tender, and the mushroom sauce complemented the dish. The lobster and seafood pasta were excellent. Victor, who also took care of us for the evening, was always checking to make sure we were comfortable. Jesus brought the homemade dessert table over. We had the Chocolate Mousse Cake and the Ricotta Cheese Cake, and they were both delicious. There was also a complimentary plate of biscotti to end our meal. Will definitely be back again.

Nothing “real” italian about this place. More NY Italian. Heavy , lots of sauce. And expensive to boot. 75$ for a Veal Milanese. Not even Cipriani and that’s good at least. Never again.

Amazing service up until the end of the night. They sat us immediately on a Saturday night without a reservation. We were waiting for a dessert menu and they forgot about us apparently. We waited 30 minutes before deciding to leave but still had to go up to the front to ask for our bill. Super sad about it because the dessert looked incredible and it had been a wonderful experience up to that point.

Apparently, as a woman, I didn’t have the authority to close the bill for our table. I asked for the check twice while my boyfriend was in the restroom, and the waiter ignored both times. When he returned, the waiter explained that he had been “waiting for the man to come back to see if he wanted something.”
It’s disappointing to experience that kind of outdated attitude in an otherwise excellent restaurant. The food, service, and ambiance were all wonderful — it truly could have been a 5-star experience.

It was my second visit. Food was excellent and service was good, but even though we had only been there a little more than 1 hour they tried to kick us out as soon as we finished our coffee.
