If you’re looking for an authentic Italian restaurant downtown this is definitely the place to go. Warm vibe, great staff, great food and just an overall good time. The Lobster Raviolis were great and I’d recommend this place to anyone trying to get some authentic NYC food.

If you’re working in Midtown, this place is located well.. right next to Park Avenue where a lot of offices reside.. very tough to locate this from outside. The name boards outside are small and not striking.., The inside of the restaurant was great. Perfect and ideal for official meetings and get together.., the ambience is cozy and there are lots of tables inside to sit and eat . Service was OK.
A pricey restaurant .. minimum vegetarian and vegan options but I’m glad that at least had it.. got her ravioli pasta vegan for about $30! It had tomato basil sauce on top and tasted good.. very pricey though.. other got fish and chicken dishes, which they liked. Cost them $35-$40 for a chicken or fish dish…
Overall liked the food but it’s an upscale restaurant and not for all. Good experience . 4 stars . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gathered the girls for our traditional Restaurant Week Dinner. Naks was our first choice but they didn’t have any availability on Resy despite me checking it a week prior and every day of the week where it was supposed to have slots, no reply on emails nor Instagram either lol but I digress. Had to find another place last minute and a friend found this. We were encouraged by the good reviews so off we went to try last Friday.
It was freezing as we know until this week. There was a proper coat check area which was quite nice. We were a group of 5 but were seated immediately despite waiting for 1 other friend. So that gesture was appreciated, even said, “we’re not that type of restaurant”. 🙂
Al was the one who attended to us and he was friendly and warm. It was noticeable that the RW menu wasn’t presented first until we asked for it, it’s a common RW thing though but we’re familiar with the drill. The starters took the longest to serve, probably 30 to 40 mins but thank God we were distracted enough by our prosecco, wine, and cocktails.
On to the food: most of us ordered clams as the starters and it was pretty good thankfully. The entrees took another 20 something minutes. Most of our friends paid the additional $25 each to get the NY Strip Steak while I stuck to the Chicken Marsala and another friend had the fish. I split my chicken with another friend and he gave half of his steak to me so we could both try it. In full transparency, the Chicken Marsala was the better dish as well as the fish versus the steak which was really fatty. I’d say stick to a proper traditional steak house if you want steak. But I will say that the Chicken entree was fantastic.
Service was good from Al and the team but it felt like they probably were lacking staff that night. There was some running around from the staff and it was really felt that they were scrambling. However Al acknowledged it when we brought it up and we were gracious about it. At the end of the day, we knew they were trying their best and that’s what matters.
Lastly the dessert offerings were tiramisu, ricotta cheesecake and chocolate mousse. We all ordered one of each and shared everything across. The clear winner was the tiramisu, the chocolate mousse was just okay and the ricotta cheesecake was dry and tasted lacking.
Overall, we had a wonderful time, it’s truly the company that matters most anyway. But the staff and service were good and the entire restaurant was actually pretty spacious and the rest rooms were clean despite the fact that the restaurant was packed. Paid a total of $587.76 for a RW meal amounting to $45 for 3 courses but had $25 additional fees and an average of 2 drinks per person.
Thanks Al and the team! Hopefully we’ll have another reason to come back again. 🙂
P.S Thanks for the after dinner complimentary peach drink! It was a nice touch.

This is a lovely, comforting dining experience! ️ It’s always great to find a place with a traditional ambiance to spend with friends and family where the food, like those white sauce mussels and excellent pasta satisfy your gourmet needs. Service is soooo lovely.

Food was soooo good. Server was fantastic. We stayed so late and they never made us feel rushed or like we overstayed our welcome. Felt like going home.

Visited for lunch as part of the restaurant week in NYC. Solid menu with classic Italian options. Had a delicious appetizer and a fabulous tortellini bolognese for main. Great option in Midtown East for a business lunch.

We came from Long Island , and we have never experienced service like this before. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, but what truly made our night unforgettable was our waiter, Pedro. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely at home.The atmosphere is warm and welcoming — like you’re having dinner with family. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food, a cozy home-style vibe, and top-notch service. They truly make you feel like home! We will definitely be back!

Grabbed a last minute reservation here on a Saturday night and was blown away by the experience. Every single employee was incredibly gracious, kind, and helpful. The service was extraordinary. The food and drinks were all delicious and fairly affordable by NYC standards. The ambience was dark and quiet, a perfect place for an intimate dinner with family or friends. Cannot recommend enough!

Visiting New York from Hawaii! My family and I enjoy coming to eat, play, and shop. Villa Berulia is an Italian restaurant with a friendly family style atmosphere which we loved. The restaurant was clean and polished. The service was excellent! Pedro was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with the menu. They have a great selection on the menu and cocktails & wine. The food was well prepared, presented, & delicious! Steve, the Manager, came to our table and greeted us and thanked us for coming to Villa Berulia to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Overall, it was a wonderful experience all around! We will definitely come back here again on our next trip to NYC!❤️
