Superb!. My friend and I have been going here for lunch and/or dinner for many years now. Atmosphere, service, food and staff are fantastic! We are now friends with the staff which makes our experience even better. Brushetta is wonderful. The chicken piccata is in a light sauce with capers - fantastic! The Cosmopolitans are the best we've ever had. They also have a huge wine selection. The atmosphere is romantic, but is also great for a group of friends hanging out after work. Dinner for two including appetizer, meal, drink and dessert is approximately $70-$80. Highly recommended!

won't be going there again. I just got back from lunch with three other colleagues. We were seated promplty as well we should have been, being as the place was practically empty. After 45 minutes our lunch came out. Two tiny, dry foccasia (sp?) sandwiches, one pasta "special" and one risotto special. Mine was the risotto, and it was actually pretty good. The pasta was eaten with a scowl. The sandwiches were left behind after even the extra cokes couldn't wash them down. Unfortunately those cokes (served in tiny wine glasses) cost $3 apiece, evidently no free refills. So $18 of soda later we left, very disappointed. If anyone had bothered to come by and asked if we enjoyed everything, they would have heard a resounding "no." But unfortunately they didn't ask.

User review by jillybean430. I took friends from out of town here for a quick dinner on a Saturday night. There was a huge party there, but we still had great service. The food was good and cheap! If you don't want to break the bank, this is a good place to go and the menu has a lot of favorites.

fast service, but not great food. ive been here a few times for lunch and the food isnt great. they used to have grilled panini for under $9 at lunch which was great considering that its a sitdown restaurant with service, but i didnt see those options when i came here this week. the other day, i had the grilled tuna (~$16) which came grey and well-done (though i asked for rare) atop a pile of tasteless carrots and with a side of broccoli. some of my coworkers had the pastas (~$12) which they said was normal. the chicken cacciatore was pretty dry though it was in an oily sauce. i believe that desserts are outsourced to another bakery because the menu depicts pictures with the supplier name. service is average. theres really nothing to recommend about this restaurant, but its ok it youre looking for a lunch spot near grand central.

Amazing Place. The food was cooked to perfection. The service was wonderful, and very personable. I was impressed with the amount of attention they gave us. I ordered a seafood pasta dish that was absolutely divine.

I highly recommend this place.
