So the food was fantastic! Restaurant week tasting menu was divine! Our server was ok but not super attentive or friendly for that matter but she did do ok. The bus people and food runners were top notch. They had plate cleaned off the table and waters filled amazingly fast. We would totally come here again on our next visit. My only complaint was the fixtures and bottles on display were very dusty and you could see the dust floating in the air when someone walked by them.

I stopped by to try the legendary lasagna, but it didn’t live up to the hype!

The waiter was not attentive, food didn’t come in time, the food was cold, when we asked where someone’s food was the staff did not seem to care or follow up. I would try to avoid going here in person if possible.

The cocktails and food are just okay. There isn’t anything special about this restaurant.

Beautiful place, good food. I went to try their infamous lasagna, and it was pretty good! Their pizza was as well. Our server was good, but the check-in experience was a bit lackluster, tbh, especially since it wasn't really busy.

Did not like the food at all the lasagna was disgusting. I was so excited to come here cause I heard really good things about this place. I guess you have to be a non-Italian to enjoy it. The risotto looked like it was leftovers for someone else’s plate that they gave me, Just Gross I didn’t eat it. They sent me at a table where there was a lot of traffic and everyone that went by me kicked my chair. It was just the wrong chair for that table was not a good experience at all. The waitress was nice enough to take the lasagna Off the bill And gave us two desserts for free, but honestly, It didn’t change the experience. I will never come back here again

Disappointing experience overall. The food arrived late and cold, the restaurant was very loud, and the service was lacking. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations.

Good dining experience. Great service, upscale & quiet atmosphere with intimate vibe.
I came here with a few friends recently and we had an enjoyable dinner. Attentive service, delicious dishes with nice presentations.
Very appetizing Zucchini Chips. I love my Roasted Salmon, very flavorful and was prepared just right! The Orecchiette and Bitter Green with Sausage was very tasty as well.

Solid spot for Italian-ish food. A little pricey but to be expected for the area

Marks Off Madison absolutely lived up to the hype. They won’t seat you until the full party arrives, but they still honored our reservation even though we were about 20 minutes late, which we appreciated. Mark himself was hosting that night, setting the tone from the start.
Our server was top-notch—very accommodating, unpretentious, and helped create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the lasagna, chicken parm, garganelli pasta, Belgian fries, mushroom pizza, and my personal favorite, the focaccia robiola (as far as I know, this is the only place in the city that still makes it). Every single dish was outstanding - fresh, high quality, and executed perfectly.
We also tried cocktails and finished with the black and white cookie, which was excellent. Service was seamless and attentive without ever feeling forced. They truly didn’t miss a note.
On our way out, we told Mark we were even bigger fans than before. He gave us fist bumps - true New Yorker by heart and by taste. A legend.

If we could rate no stars we would. Called to make reservations and told them for 3pm (not knowing the kitchen closes at 3pm) THE OWNER who took the call then tells us be there at 2:45pm and we said okay. We drove all the way from Staten Island through tolls had trouble finding parking because it is Manhattan and we walked in at 3pm for the owner to then tells us “we are closed” The attitude as a owner that he gave us was beyond ridiculous. Nasty attitude the way he talked to us. After we had told him he should have told us from the very beginning over the phone the kitchen closes at 3pm. We will NEVER EVER come here. Horrible experience, very rude owner, disgusting how you treat and talk to new customers
George was an excellent waiter and the lasagna is the best I have ever had.
