Editorial Review for Max Restaurant - East Village – by Dan McAlvanah
In Short
Young, thickly-accented waiters work a narrow room of fewer than 30 seats. Occasionally, Italian hip-hop that sounds suspiciously similar to Public Enemy circa "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" plays in the background. Simple Italian fare, with an emphasis on familiar pastas, include "My Father's Style Rigatoni," served with thick slices of sausage and veal meatballs. Other dishes get a matriarchal moniker: "Mom's Meat Loaf with Neapolitan-style Potatoes" and "Homemade Lasagna, Mom's Style."

I was at max last Thursday night and had a really good experience. I had heard a lot from Max before so I had to give it a chance. I have to say that I had a really good time. My meatloaf was the best I ever tried ( and I love meatloaf so I know when is good). The service was friendly and polite, not Italian waiters though but friendly and handsome Southamerican...The athmosphere of the place is awesome, good music and great deco. .The only thing I would say is they should put tables little away from each other but I guess that's New York.. .
Pros: great food , service and ambience
Cons: only one toilet

Hi I'm from Italy, living in NY for some months, I was really missing my country till I found MAX! Ask to be seated outside even if it's cold, a bottle of red wine will help u to feel better. the hidden garden creates a friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed a delicious entree of bruschette and crostini with a whole bottle of sicilian wine! I definitely reccomend this Italian, I would say Tuscan, restaurant both to newyorkers and italian people! Ciao!
