The food was good, but the place was extremely overcrowded, the waiter always bumped to our chairs, spilled the wine to the table and even to our cloths... We paid almost 3000$ for 9 persons, but when we left and asked for our coats they additionally charged us for 10$, which is just ridiculous to ask money for this at a restaurant.

Have been coming here since I was a kid and the food never disappoints. Now as an adult, there wine select is amazing, and the biscotti with the check is the best part.

Always the best food! Itâs always jam packed in there but they keep it organized. The service could be better, they gave us (and charged us) for sparkling water when we asked for tap but not a biggie!

I wish I could leave this a higher review but the staff treated me and my family horribly. My father-in-law, who was visiting from out of state for the night, has severe skin cancer on top of his head and recently had invasive surgery to take out the skin cancer. He showed up to the restaurant with a luxury Driverâs cap on because his head could not be exposed to the air after the surgery. The waiters asked him to remove his hat after we sat down, to which he responded explaining his health condition. They were extremely rude and did not care and insisted he still take his hat off. You could tell he was obviously very embarrassed to even mention that he just had treatment but they didnât care and they made him take his hat off or leave the restaurant. It ruined the whole dinner because my 75 year-old father-in-law was very embarrassed about the experience. I wanted to leave, but we had already sat down. It totally soured our evening and I will be sure to tell my friends about how we were treated. Iâd expect so much more from a restaurant that many consider an UES institution.
Only giving two stars as the restaurant had a fabulous old school nyc Italian vibe. Everyone dressed very nicely.
I have lived in UES for 10 years and have been to many Italian hot spots. This was not one of them. Food was meh nothing to write home about.
Then when weâre charged for our bill we noticed we were over charged by $80 more than what was listed on the hand written bill. No apology given once we pointed out this issue they just voided and recharged my card. Could have easily offered a free drink or dessert to make up for poor service.

really good classic italian food. the calamari was perfectly cooked and crispy, and comes with plenty of fresh tomato sauce.
the lasagna special was so hearty and cheesy, but kind of fell apart. the gnocchi special was also very good and was cooked nicely.

I was there saturday night. We sit outside. The food was good. But I found myself in a unconfortable situation. the waiter a young guy from sicily start talking with my friend And boy He did not know when to stop. Making the evening unconfortable for us. Maybe i should have adressed the situation to the manager. Definitly not a fine dining place. Tratoria service I dont know If I come back No respect for the customer.

Old school Italian restaurant, classic spot on the upper east side. This spot is always busy for a reason, the food is excellent and consistent and the service is impeccable. You can sit at the bar, but there are very few seats, you need a reservation even on a quiet dayâŠ

The food sucked, over priced and over salty. The staff never came and asked how the food was if we needed more drinks, nothing. Itâs filled with tourist so disappointing. Everything is so over priced!! Glass of wine $25/30 and cocktails $40 on my bill I donât mind paying for a good drink(s) but these werenât along with good prices being different than provided online. Overall if youâre a real New Yorker or looking for good Italian food in general stay away!!
Epic night at an epic spot!
