We really enjoyed our dinner at Mastro’s. Everything was cooked to perfection and extra delicious (Lobster bisque, branzino and a filet mignon). The service was on point, and fast as we were heading towards an opera show afterwards and we didn’t have time to linger. We’ll come back!

We walked here after seeing a play at the Curran! The place is small but cozy. We had the pear salad, meatballs and got the main entrees - lasagna, gnocchi and a clam linguine. Everything was delicious. The waiter suggested an Italian wine that was wonderful with the dinner and no headache the next day. For desert, we had lemon cake and cream brûlée! The brûlée was extra delicious!

Three of us dined here before our show at the Curran, just one block away. Started with the large sized Cesar to share. I had 2 appetizers- I eat pasta and pizza at home. So the Kampachi crudo was great as were the meatballs. Plenty of food and a chance to try more things. One friend had the chicken leg confit over polenta and she loved it. The other had the spaghetti with clams and loved hers. A very good meal, excellent service and lively atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
