Good Food and Laughs

by marca1976

I've been coming here since I was a kid. I am now 31 and this place has changed quite a bit. I always remembered it as the italian "sports" restaurant because of all the memoribilia hanging on the walls. I think that was what I loved most, besides the food. That was before they made the "upscale" side to the left of the entrance. Over the years, the service has lacked significantly. I recall times eating here and having rude waiters who were always in a rush. I had my bachelor party here in 2006, but the service was great. Perhaps beacuse they had a party of 20? I guess I come back here once in a blue because it brings back memories of when my parents would take me here for birthdays & graduations. If you're looking to do a big party or celebration this is the place. If you want an intimate date with the girlfriend or wife, go some place else. It seems that they cater better to bigger parties than to a partiy of 2. Food portions are generous (chicken/veal parm, manicotti, Lasagna) and always tasty, so you wont go home hungry. I cant give a 1/2 star rating, so I'll give it a 3 1/2 instead of a 4.

• Pros: Big place, great ambience
• Cons: rushed service, crowded on weekends

Tasty food, Awful Service

by UncleAlbert

I've come here at lunch and for dinner on weekdays and weekends. The service is often rude. At this point in NYC, that's 'nuff said in my book. Try Fratelli's on Eastchester for similar quality with better service and a more intimate feel--not that that's hard given this monstrosity of a restaurant.

• Pros: Tasty pastas, pizza.
• Cons: Expensive, wasn't seated within an hour of estimated time. Other times waiter has been insufferably rude.
