Sandro's Reviews
A wonderful restaurant - delicious food, wine, marvelous service. Thank you
Sandro's served us in exactly the capacity we sought: the anti-tasting-menu restaurant. A place where we could sit down, without artificial fuss, and enjoy fine food and excellent service in a comfortable setting. That is what we got. Sandro's does unpretentious Roman food, and, as with Rome, everything we tasted was excellent. And contrary to some internet photos, the lighting is not too bright.
Lemon drop and Negronis were perfect. Cacio y pepe excellent. Best Swordfish I've ever had!

Recently, diners have said it is the best alternative to flying to Rome, especially after enjoying homemade peach Grappa served after dinner, which leaves them surprised to realize they are still on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Others describe it as a near-perfect restaurant, praising the delicious food, interesting wine list, and exceptional service. Standout dishes include salads and porchetta, along with the delicious pastas and divine desserts. Customers consistently note that choosing Sandro's is a safe bet, as it is run like a Swiss clock, always pleasing guests with top-notch food. Many mention their love for the lemon pasta and swordfish, which is considered the best in the city, and share that they never leave disappointed.
