Food wasn’t great. Staff seemed to disappear mid meal. Said something they got a bit rude. Wouldn’t waist my money so many other great restaurants around the area

A little pricy for standard fare. Great if you are looking for some old school, peace and quiet and live in the vacinity.
Wheelchair accessibility: Nope, step down.

Absolutely fantastic Italian food! Our bartender, Steven, is one of the best in the city and absolutely nails the Italian classics! The homemade pasta is to die for and you can tell every members of the staff is genuinely dedicated to good service—we will be back!

Good food, nice service. The only thing employees probably still didn't figure out how to use their POS terminals for Restaurant Week.
My bad here as well - we paid and forgot to check what they charged.
So, double check before leaving!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Gradino, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience that went above and beyond our expectations, especially as we were dining with our 1-year-old baby.
From the moment we walked in, the staff at Il Gradino made us feel warmly welcomed. They were incredibly attentive and accommodating, which made our visit stress-free and enjoyable. The restaurant itself exudes a charming ambiance, with a cozy, elegant decor that sets a relaxing tone.
What truly stood out was their sensitivity to our 1 year old. The staff were not only understanding but proactive in making sure we had everything we needed. They offered us a high chair immediately and even provided some toys to keep our little one entertained. They also adjusted the seating arrangement to ensure we had ample space for the baby and our stroller.
Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, including some kid-friendly options that were perfect for our baby. The level of service was impeccable, with the staff checking in just enough to ensure everything was to our liking without being intrusive.
Overall, Il Gradino is a gem of an Italian restaurant that combines outstanding food with exceptional service. Their consideration for families with young children sets them apart, making it an ideal choice for a family meal. We can't wait to return!

It was our last night in New York and my husband and I went with our two children. We chose this restaurant because of the proximity to our hotel and the great reviews. We left very disappointed with the quality of the food, the waiters were very friendly and attentive but the really mediocre and very expensive food, for four plates of pasta and little else, of medium-low quality they charged us more than €300, please do not believe the good reviews, it is a pure lie and a shame also for Google map, which highly recommends it, I hope that with this review I can help good faith customers like us not feel scammed.

Excellent food with too many wonderful options to select from! We had the linguine with clams and the bucatini alla amatriciana - generous portions and superb flavor. Highly recommended!

TUTTO Bene. When you want to be spoiled by service, excellent Italian, a gorgeous wine list take the first step...a reservation at il Gradino. Tell them Baby sent you. I love that they arrive with your drink order and little tasty treats immediately. The treats are their offer...just like the local spot in Italy. A little something so you can read the menu without drooling. See the photos...it tastes as good as it looks. Mangia!

This place is amazing! me and my fiancé came here for a date out and were amazed by the restaurant atmosphere and the excellent service we got from the workers. My fiancé and I love pasta and this place has to be top 5 in pasta plates we have ever had. My fiancé had the Spaghetti al Pomodoro and I had the Ravioli IL Gradino and these plates were made perfectly. if i could give this Restaurant more than 5 stars i would! We will definitely be returning.
