Da Andrea is amazing! I brought my friends from Florida to try it out, and we all left impressed! We started with the meatballs as an appetizer – they were so flavorful and tender. For the main dishes, the ravioli with veal, carbonara and the gnocchi with Gorgonzola were absolute standouts. The gnocchi with Gorgonzola was creamy and comforting, it is my favorite. And the cocktails by bartender Luiz? Amazing! My friends couldn’t stop raving about everything. Can’t wait to go back! Great food, great drinks, amazing and gorgeous ambiance.

A hidden gem in Midtown East! For outstanding Mexican cuisine, Tan is an excellent choice. We had the Yucatan Chicken and the Short Rib al Carbon and both were impeccably prepared and plated. This is a NYC restaurant that you don’t want to overlook!
