Editorial Review for Lattanzi Ristorante – by Paul Adams
The Scene
Neatly tucked into 46th Street's Restaurant Row, Lattanzi walks a nice line between comfortable and ornate, with flowers, candles and white tablecloths complementing exposed brick and handsome architectural photographs. The two-room restaurant is well-attended every night, with a mostly middle-aged clientele of theatergoers.
The Food
Pre-theater and at lunch, the menu is sturdy, delicious Italian. Wonderful homemade pastas, such as the fettuccine with a meat ragu, arrive in large portions, though the sizing of the other entrees can be small. At 8pm, the Italian-Jewish (though not kosher) menu is added, offering such dishes as a red snapper that gets an unusual kick from vinegar and raisins, a rich tomatoey stew of cannellini and tender fish, and excellent, deeply flavored rosemary roast chicken. Artichokes are a signature ingredient of this classic cuisine; order one fried or batter-fried to start.

The food at Lattanzi Ristorante was lovely, but the service was comically bad as they tried to get people in and out as soon as possible. We really got a sense that they were just greedy and cashing in on the location. I think that from the moment we sat down at the table it took only about 40 minutes until they brought the bill, before I had finished my coffee. We were still eating our starters when the mains arrived and they snapped, you done with these or not? And being rushed, I didn't notice that it was this expensive. So I will never ever return to Lattanzi Ristorante and I recommend everyone looking for a relaxed meal to avoid it. Impersonal and unwelcoming.
Pros: pasta was delicious
Cons: not a guest-friendly place

The restaurant was prompt in seating us and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. My only qualm was that the table was very cramped for four and all the tables in the restaurant were closely spaced. The food was very good and the portions were perfect.
Pros: Knowledge staff, good food
Cons: Small tables, expensive appetizers and deserts
