    We dine here often, so I was a little disappointed that the duck breast was not prepared better. Very fatty cut. The polenta was just ok. Other than that, the others at the table had no complaints. I will stick to what they are known for, Italian pasta and sauce. Our waitress was delightful, and very knowledgeable of the menu items.

    I’ve loved Lidia’s for many years. But last night, they let us down. The cocktails we ordered when we were seated weren’t served until we were almost finished with our salad course. 3 of the 4 of us, ordered the pasta trio. My friends had never been to Lidia’s and I assured them the pasta trio would not disappoint. All 3 of the pastas were sticky and had been prepared too far in advance from the time of service. Previous visits to Lidia’s were always earlier evening, around 6:00. Last night’s reservation was at 8:00. Maybe that’s the difference. By the time our entrees were served last night, it was near the end of their dinner service. Next time I’ll try 6:00 again and hope for better results.

    Excellent selection of Italian dishes that are prepared perfectly. Very reasonable prices for the quality (and quantity) of food they provide.
