    It was a perfect ending to a lovely winter’s day… wonderful waitress, good wine and good food … in an unexpected quiet corner table. Who could ask for more?

    As always quick service and delicious food. Good value for the money. Crowded so noisy but that is par for the course with the pre-Lincoln Center event’s crowd.

    Great spot for a nice dinner before or after a show at Lincoln center. Great service, lasagna was spectacular and reasonable prices. Enjoyed our meal very much.

    Table was ready as reserved but the restaurant, pre-Lincoln Center, was packed. Tables are close together. Ours was in the middle of an aisle and waitstaff and customers passed by regularly. Noise level is quite high so, while the restaurant was doing a high volume of business (good for them), it made for an unpleasant dining experience for us. Too close -- too much noise -- too much movement. My chicken parmesean was the worst I have ever had. I believe it had been pounded too thin, breaded, sauteed, and then perhaps reheated so that it was rock hard. Even with a sharp knife, which was requested and provided, it was hard to cut. Spaghetti sauce had an odd flavor - not the best. $50 for hard chicken parm and a side of spaghetti in a noisy and crowded room will keep me from returning. BTW - restaurant photos need to be updated. Tables are polished stone and there are no tablecloths! Perhaps a different entree and sitting out-of-doors would be better. This restaurant has been here for decades, and I remember it from 35 years ago as being much better and much more pleasant. Oh well.

    My go-to restaurant for 10+ years before every NY Phil concert never fails to deliver great food, great service and a lively and comfortable atmosphere. The maitre’d and waite staff are attentive and we always have just enough time for a delicious dessert. The best spot for locals and Lincoln Center attendees!!!
