Amazing! Zoran was our waiter, very nice.Our first time dining here. I would highly recommend. We ordered 3 small plates for appetizers. Ricotta ball, sausage and peppers. So good, 3 of us shared. We also ordered the Gorgonzola Bread. Omg, bread stuffed with caramelized onions with the Gorgonzola cream on top!We had the Seared Scallop Special, cooked perfectly. Chicken Parmesan, excellent, two could have shared and the Lasagna! Not traditional Lasagna but one of the best l've had! Four people could share the lasagna.We shared the chocolate mousse with whipped cream! Not too sweet and airy!You must try when you're on the Upper West Side!They have many Gluten Free options!

This place may have been good at some point but with absent owners and chefs changing, the result was one of the worst dining experience in NYC. Speechless. Take a look at the Spaghetti Carbonara?

Great place with great drinks and food! My friend and I had the spaghetti carbonara which was wonderful! And some aperol spritz that reminded me a lot from Italy. It’s is a very cozy and quiet place, a hidden gem for sure, I would definitely go back!

Online reviews made this place look amazing, so we had high hopes, since both my husband and I spend a lot of time in Italy. The cozy atmosphere was immediately destroyed by techno music making it feel more like a Euro-trash disco than an intimate dining space. Salads were massively overdressed, and the Caesar had croutons out of the box. Gnocchi alla sorrentina should not be made with burrata, whose creamy part just watered down the already watery tomato sauce while the outside was never allowed to melt to be gooey. The other pastas were just flavorless, which is such a shame. The staff were nice but lacked professionalism. They didn’t know anything about the menu, and I don’t think the chef did either, frankly. We wanted simple well-prepared food in a cozy atmosphere, and it just didn’t happen. Nothing was disgusting, but nothing was as it should be either. Such a shame.

There was 1 person in charge of everything this place doesn’t look anything like it portrays on their website and the prices are high for mediocre food
Dietary restrictions: Not very accommodating

Amazing experience, the food is fantastic. I have worked with chef Gilbert before and I can tell he is one of the best chefs I've ever met. Caffe dei Fiori is a must try in NYC.
Very fine Italian food in a tropical setting. I refer to the extraordinarily insufficient air conditioning in a restaurant that charges $50 for some of its entrees. We were the first people in the restaurant (at 5:00 PM before a 7:00 curtain) and sat downstairs, sweltering, when a kind and observant waiter offered to take us upstairs, where it is less hot. Mumbling some excuses about the outdoor garden doors letting the hot air in (not a single soul was to be seen dining outside during the heat) we switched to upstairs and still had to ask that the a/c be increased. It was barely manageable, and that only because there were no other diners at the time. This is cheap, shameful, and outrageous behavior. A meal ruined by the greed of the establishment's owners, or their neglect of proper maintenance. Avoid this restaurant until November, or until the temperatures outside drop below 50, whichever comes first. You're much better off nearby at David Burke's Tavern.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here with 25 guests and had a wonderful time. Food was awesome, service was great and they were very accommodating. Everyone raved about it. Highly recommend for any events or weddings!

An exceptional meal with big portions, delicious food and great waiters! Thank you Federico and Roman for such a great dinner experience! The burrata and prosciutto is a must. Best Carbonara I’ve had, and the chicken is a healthy lovely dish. The chocolate lava cakes are delicious. Cant wait to go back to this place, I highly recommend for an UES staple.
