Convenient location by Rockefeller, not busy (Sunday brunch) so seated immediately, attentive & quick service, food was tasty & good quality. As per some of the other comments the bread (offered to my Husband with his modest portion of frittata) seemed an after thought, is it free/included in the price, we didn't know at the time. Worth a visit if you want something a bit more special. Prices comparable with similar higher end dining experiences in the area.

Love the location in Rockefeller Center near the Today Show windows. We had dinner and were seated inside the main restaurant (it is very small inside). The restaurant is beautiful, with lots of windows so we could enjoy the view. The server was friendly and answered all of our questions. We arrived during Happy Hour so we ordered the appetizer: Chips, Nuts, and Olives. Basically store bought potato chips, peanuts that were roasted and crunchy, and a selection of different olives. Then we order the bread (it did not come with the meal) but well worth it. Sesame bread and focaccia served with olive oil. Very fresh and served warm from the oven. Our main meals were just okay. The gnocchi was served with leeks, broccoli, pine nuts and truffle oil. Very good and very rich in flavor. I would have preferred a little more leeks and broccoli, they were basically lacking. The Lasagna Bolognese was very meaty, almost the main ingredient, but seasoned well. And the Spaghetti Pomodoro was just that, pasta with tomato, parm, basil and seasoned well. Over all we were satisfied but not overwhelmed.

We spent about 6 hours in the city and decided to try Lodi due to its good location. The service was friendly, but my food arrived cold, and we weren’t served any bread—while the table next to us got it twice. The milanesa and fries were poor quality, though the octopus was very tasty. I wouldn’t return.

On January 30, they charged us $30 more on our account (they were two coffees and two pastries, and they charged us $53) for a product that we had not ordered. When making the payment and checking the ticket, the error was pointed out. The saleswoman and her manager spent some time “trying” to solve it, and after agreeing with me, they told me that they would refund me that amount and that it would take at least two hours. More than a week later, I have not received the refund. I suppose it is a tourist trap, and if it is a common practice, you are scammers and scoundrels. I don't recommend it.

Food was very underwhelming. Way overpriced for this level of quality. Service was so-so.

Food was mixed. Dreadful cacio e pepe. Decent soft eggs. Servers were doing their best to make it work. Truly they and the hosts get lots of credit. I do wonder why Rockefeller Center management allows such a mediocre restaurant in their prime location.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it was a complete disappointment. The food was overpriced and lacked quality, which made me question the ingredients and preparation. The portions were small, the flavors were uninspired, and the service was slow despite the high prices. For what they charge, you’d expect an exceptional dining experience, but it was far from it. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone—save your money and your peace of mind.

Scam you into paying nine dollars for tapwater. Mediocre food and slow service
Very ordinary for a very high price. Risotto served with a ladle "canteen" style, part of the order missing... Given the location we don't take care but this restaurant is quite simply a tourist trap.

We had late lunch today 11/09/2024 and left very very disappointed and disgusted from the treatment we received. We were a party of 5 adults, who dine out very frequently. The atmosphere and location of the restaurant were great. We had ordered cocktails and 5 entrees. Our waitress asked if we wanted a basket of bread (never mentioned a fee for the bread). Out waitress was not friendly and seemed distracted as well as frustrated. We ate our basket of bread and asked for another.
Our entrees came out and I will say the Pollo Milanese was paper thin (tasted like processed fake chicken) it came with a bean salad (I got a whole 10 beans). Then the pasta dishes were so small. At the time, our waitress was never to be seen again. She never mentioned anything and never came back. Then a woman came over and started to take over our table (never even told us her name). One of the bus boys cleared our drinks but he took my cousins’s drink that was still a quarter full.
We got our bill and was shocked to see a $20.00 fee for bread. We stated our disgust to the so called waitress and she gave us a bill without the bread fee. She then came back to run our credit card and at the time she stated, “here is your original bill because our manager (Yebbie) stated to her we need to pay for the bread. I have a huge problem with this, it’s like they were playing games with us. Yebbie who was supposedly the Manager never approached our table. I have never experienced that before. My husband and I are business owners and if I found out my manager was hiding in the back, they would be immediately terminated. To me that’s horrible customer service. Then to make matters worse, as the woman was running our credit cards, there was a group of staff (5 men) who were steering us down and talking about us. Another no no! I hope the owner sees this review and ret-trains his/her staff to ensure every customers receives great customers and are happy walking out those doors. I will ever offer to help with training your staff.

Rude door woman, apparently didn't want to let me in, while others got a place. Not sure if that's even legal.

Cute little spot for a meal or pastries in Rockefeller Center. My cocktail, a seasonal apple cider bourbon fizz, sadly had little cider or fizz, and felt watered down. Ordered the prefix meal, a delicious squash soup and a just ok caprese panini for $42. The chips that were served as a side had absolutely no flavor, making them unpalatable. The price felt a little much for to product, but when in the city… Our server was pleasant and as attentive as we needed her to be. Lodi accomplished what was needed, food in my belly, but I can’t say it is someplace I would highly recommend.

Pooor. Poor service from bartender. They know they have waiting customers. Yet they will treat you like scum. Poor. Take your hard earned money and run. No nocks to the owner or manager. Quality product but server at bar. Male. Was rude and I would choose elsewhere
