When selecting eyeglasses for a high prescription

(over -7.00D) go for the geek chic acetate. It's a great way to hide the thickness from the edges and a perfect start to a new look if you've always worn metal frames. You may want to request Hi-index lenses 1.67-1.74 if you would like them as thin as possible.

great. Superb all round, with a special mention for the service which was exceptional. Never have we stayed at a place where we have felt such personal service. We'd definately return and highly recommend

Great experience. Food & service was superb. We were a party of 4 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were not hurried at any time. The suggestions from the kitchen were delectable. Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful Italian restaurant. I have dined at Cinquanta many times, and never been disappointed. The food is very good and the service is exquisite. All of the staff is attentive and friendly. The hostess is particularly kind and friendly, and ensures that all of her customers are well taken care of. The restaurant would not be the same without her. The house wines are acceptable, but the better bottles serve as a more appropriate accompaniment to the excellent food. The prices are very reasonable for midtown Manhattan, and this restaurant is one that should not be missed.

One of the cities best kept secrets. This is one of New Yorks best kept secrets for Italian food in a romantic setting!

Their hostess and waiters were among the most friendly I have incountered, the food was outstanding from appetizers to desert. It is one of the few resturants left that actually cook old world style. I would highly recommend this resturant to anyone looking to enjoy a great meal without breaking your wallet all in a very romantic setting with one of the best menus in the city

Negative experience. The food was good to OK compared to many other Italian restaurants I ate in. The staff was unfriendly and unpleasant to deal with. At the end of the meal, a miscommunication occurred and the staff members that dealt with that were extremely rude, unprofessional and obnoxious. I would strongly recommend to avoid it.

VERY good service. Not being a native New Yorker, I couldn't say how Cinquanta measures up to the multitude of other Italian restaurants in the city. It's hard to imagine many of them surpassing Cinquanta's service, however. The wait staff was extremely attentive &, even more importantly, very helpful. The menu was quite large & the specials numerous. The food could be a tad less salty & the coffee a tad stronger but, all told, few complaints here.

Not worth the trip. The hostess was loud and quite annoying when she yelled for a waiter in the middle of the restaurant. The appetizers were good but the main course was not tasty at all...for anyone in our group. The waiter was nice but the food was below average.
