Short wait for the table. All tables were full. Service moves swiftly. This makes it unfortunate if you want to take your time but good if your going to a show. Make a reservation recommended. Food was good. Quick service doesn't make for time for great displays of food but it wasn't all good. Dessert has a good selection. Only room for one bathroom on each floor. There was frequently a line. Overall the night was enjoyable and I would definitely go again.

The Food Is So Amazing. I Have No Words. You're In Paradise When You Eat Here. Everything Is So Fresh And Soothing When You Eat. But There Is One Problem And That Is The Customer Service. The Waiters Are Really Mean And Rushful. They Give Attitude. When They Come & Give You The Food, They Like Throw It On The Table.

The food here was very good. We had Fried Calamari, Chicken Parmesan, and Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce. The Fried Calamari wasn’t a huge portion but tasted great. The Chicken Parm had awesome flavors and wasn’t too rich. It came with Linguine which was very flavorful. The Parmesan cheese they gave us also was very good! There was a seat by the window which is perfect on a nice day. I would recommend this place for a meal in the city! Prices were pretty fair too for Italian food.

I sometimes order lunch from here for pick up, and the food has always been tasty. We decided at around 7pm on Saturday night that we wanted Italian for dinner; this was the only place (above 4 stars) with available reservations with in the hour. We were seated right away by a friendly hostess. Extensive menu and great wine choices. Again the food was very delicious. We ordered the creme Brûlée for desert which was a bit disappointing. The service was okay (nothing noticeably spectacular though nothing negative). Food came out in a timely manner, and given complimentary bread as we waited. A good choice if in the midtown area. Can accommodate small-medium sized groups from what I've seen.
