Everything was perfect. They held our table 20 minutes when our uber couldn't get across midtown, and still got us to the theater in time without feeling rushed. The food was creative and delicious, and they were informative about accommodating a friend's allergy. Highly recommended!

Ambience was excellent; food delicious! Prix fixed lunch was truly a great value , which included a $7 glass of wine. Portion size was great and tiramisu dessert was wonderful. I recommend it highly! Only snag: they could use more than one waiter at lunchtime.

Eating here has turned into a tradition for us every time we are in NYC. Service is amazing - food is spectacular and every time we come, it's consistently a great experience. Can wait to come back next month when we are back in town.

There were 3 of us. We had a 6pm reservation and showed up at 5:30. Yet they jammed us into a small table in aisle where people had to sqeeze by me. (Was already surprising amount of people but not so full they had to do me like that). Appetizers huge beet salad and modest caesar. The chicken w parm crust was huge but no crust. The branzino was good but small. Dessert so so — the choc cake was tiny and 2 med scoops of good ice cream but for $12. Servers were attentive. Paper towel dispenser in commode was empty. Still would go again. V close to theaters like barrymore.
We went here after a great trip to see The Notebook. The bread basket had bread that was not fresh- must have been baked 12 hours before. The anti-pasta was uninspiring and bland. I had the fish special and tasted really bland, my daughter had lasagne which was disappointing. Overall expensive and very very poor value for money.
We looked to eat somewhere in the theatre district after a performance of ‘Six'. Just a short walk up the street on 9th, we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff and delicious authentic Italian dishes. Paccheri alla bolognese, insalata pera e gorgonzola, and a special crab ravioli with a lemon cream sauce - all fresh, handmade, incredible. Vintage celebrity photos adorn the walls, white linens, low Italian music, laid back atmosphere. We recommend it very highly.

Been coming to Amarone off and on for many many years. Our food was very good. The restaurant was for the most part, cold. We had an early reservation 615pm, dinner for two, so few other diners present. They forgot to bring my appetizer salad, and then when it finally arrived it had onions (I clearly said no onion). From the time we sat down to the time our entrees arrived was about 50-55 mins, which seems excessive, especially since hardly anyone was in the restaurant. Food overall was very good, and I will be back most likely, but it's a once or maybe twice a year kinda visit for me. There was a disconnect - overall execution of the orders was befuddled, and I know it is wintertime, but get some more heat into the dining room!

Food was pretty good and service was as well. Our drinks were just as we like them. We do, however, believe that our credit card information may have been lifted here by probably an employee, as it was used a few days later at a Thai take out restaurant downtown. We had not been in the city or lost or even used the card since that night. So...That was not good.

I have been here on several occasions for pre-theatre dinner and have never been disappointed. Pastas are delicious and sauces so flavorful. Appetizer and entrees are superb. If you like grilled octopus or fried calamari, you'll find it to be some of the best you've ever had. Wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. This is a wonderful place to dine.

We arrived earlier than our reservation expecting to sit at the bar but the staff was amazing and seated us right away! Everything was delicious and the drinks were wonderfully made! Must haves are the Antipasto board and the Shrimp Fra Diavolo!
I've been coming to this restaurant and its ancestors at various locations for many years. I'm always made to feel at home, enjoy a delicious meal and come back again and again. Thank you so much!
We love this place. We don't get to NYC enough. But when we do, we always stop in here. Great food and memories are created each time we visit. Thank you for another great evening. Juan and the staff treated us like stars.

Pre show family get together. Everyone happy with their meal. Was a little concerned that it might be a “not so good” tourist trap, but it was not, and went away happy with the meal and the experience.

We waited 25 minutes before we were approached by anyone. Our server admitted it was his very first day which waa fine but there was no one working with him. He couldnt answer our questions & kept running back & forth to find out. The best part of the meal was the Caesar salad & bread basket. We both had veal & it was old & chewy. Couldnt eveb get a second glass of wibe. Never again! Very disappointing.

Delicious food, elegant surroundings and attentive service. We had Caesar salad, spaghetti with meatballs, gnocchi and cheesecake. It was all great
