Delicious, well-executed Italian cuisine with clean, authentic flavors. Everything on the menu looked incredible and genuinely tempting. You can tell care goes into the food, and it shows from the first bite. Definitely a place that makes you want to come back and try more dishes.

Amazing experience with the most caring staff. The menu has a great mix of classic and unique dishes. We tried the gelato salad and it was delicious! Some other favorites were the lamb, handmade cavatelli, and aperol affogato. Super cozy spot with great drinks too. Perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion too (we saw 3 different groups celebrating birthdays!)

Absolutely loved Il Punto II! The gelato salad with shrimp was such a unique and refreshing starter, definitely a must-try! Everything else was delicious too, from the caprese to the mushroom risotto and gnocchi with pear and salmon. And the Aperol affogato for dessert? Incredible. Perfect balance of sweet and citrus, the best way to end the meal. Plus the drinks! Loveeed the Martinis!! Pistachio, chocolate Great food, cozy vibe, and friendly service!

We were here for our 20th anniversary and Antonio made it extra special. The service was great and the atmosphere cozy. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in NYC but Antonio makes this place a true gem! Thank you!!

I recently had a delightful breakfast at IL Punto and overall, it was a great experience!
Food: The menu offered a fantastic selection, and I was really impressed with the quality of the dishes. My avocado toast was fresh and flavorful, and the pastries were a real treat. Everything tasted homemade and authentic.
Service: The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we felt taken care of throughout our meal. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations.
Atmosphere: The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, filled with a nice blend of rustic and modern decor. It felt like a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal, although it could get a bit noisy during peak hours.
Overall, IL Punto is a lovely place for breakfast, and I can’t wait to go back!

Everything was good. The wine, food and dessert.
Enjoyed our food. I have given 4-star because I have this exact preference for eggplant Parmesan which didn’t match my expectation.
Overall loved everything.!

What a neighborhood gem! We stopped in after a trade show and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel like family. We started by sharing the poached pear salad, and I’m still thinking about it. For entrees, we ordered the mushroom risotto and the salmon, both were excellent. I only wish I were in town a few more days to try more of the menu. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the city!

We had an absolutely outstanding dinner at this Italian restaurant — one of our favorite dining experiences in our NYC eating vacation. 🙂
The service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and efficient without being overbearing. Our server made thoughtful recommendations and kept everything moving at the perfect pace. Timing, in fact, was one of the most impressive parts of the evening. We’ve been to other fine dining spots where the food was good, but the pacing was off — too rushed sometimes but too slow between other courses. Here, every course arrived just when it should, allowing us to enjoy the meal without any awkward waits or interruptions.
The setting was also just right…nicely designed and quiet enough to have a real conversation without straining to hear each other.
As for the food, incredible. Every dish was beautifully plated and full of balanced flavors and textures. We had the lamb, cioppino, squid ink seafood pasta, veal scaloppini, a side of handmade pasta with Bolognese sauce, caprese, and carpaccio. Each one was memorable, and it was clear that a lot of care went into both the ingredients and execution.
Desserts were just as strong — classic, well-done, and a perfect way to finish the meal.
Overall, this place truly had it all: excellent food, smooth service, great ambiance, and great timing. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful Italian dining experience.

Excellent dishes and amazing service! Dishes were served in a timely manner. Everything we picked from the menu was delicious. Definitely, recommending the gelato salad, lobster ravioli, and lamb chops. Pistachio tiramisu and chocolate lava cake with gelato are a must! Definitely, coming back again!
