    We had booked this restaurant because of the ambience and to get us into the spirit of Christmas after landing in New York earlier that day: when we walked in we were blown away by the feel of Christmas however we were led all the way through to that back of the restaurant to a area that basically looked like where the workers would have sat and eat their break! I asked if there was any chance we could have got a table further in the restaurant and was told that was for people who had booked and I said I had and he wasn’t very helpful. Especially as we turned up there was a walk in of 3 people in front of us and they were shown to a table right at the front of the restaurant. Food was ok wasn’t blown away but was bad. Waiters were ok doing their job. One was very attentive and bringing water. Wine was good. Overall felt it wasn’t the experience we were hoping for.

    We made a reservation and when we got there we had to wait with another parties also waiting for reservations and received no communication from hosting/wait staff on what was going on. We went across the street to Buona Note and were given excellent service.

    Very romantic and very tasteful food. Servers were excellent and the atmosphere was beautiful. My only complaint is we were sat towards the back of the restaurant away from all the beautiful decorations. However a good plus from this was it was more private. Overall the food has me already wanting to visit little Italy again

    I hate to say negative things because I believe people are generally doing their best. The service was very good - even the maitre d' was very accommodating - but the food was mediocre at best. I can't imagine who thought the food here was 4.5 stars. Maybe 3 stars but even that would be a stretch. And it was pricey. I normally don't write reviews but expensive and mediocre food is exactly the problem with Little Italy tourist traps. I wanted to like this place but what a disappointment. If it weren't for good service the score would have been a 1.

    Dining was a great experience here. Service was great, food was great, atmosphere was rest. We were seated at a sweet table at the window and even bought the pic taken by the in house photographer. All in all a good dining experience.

    The ambiance, food and service are top notch. Very organized and efficient team, always someone available to help you. Somehow they have cultivated both an upscale and family atmosphere at the same time. Loved it!
