Amazing Irish Pub in Times Square area. We got to know the place in a previous trip to NYC, came back this time and will definitely repeat in future journeys. Great food and atmosphere. Excellent Traditional Irish Breakfast and delicious dinner. Wide selection of beers local and imported. Impecable service.

What a fun experience. We haven't found this place by accident and figuring give it a try and it was amazing. The appetizers the shepherd's pie and chicken were perfectly cooked and very hearty. Definitely worth going back again.

A darling Irish tavern in the heart of the theater district. Lunch was outside in the comfortable rooftop dining area which was inviting, airy and spacious. We had a crisp salad with jumbo shrimp and a nicely done chicken sandwich platter. The waitstaff was friendly, professional and attentive to every need, including providing ice for an earlier foot mishap. Connolly's made our NYC visit all the more enjoyable!

Our favourite bar during our entire stay. We visited every day after our first visit was so great, and it became our local! The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Special shout out to Darren the legend. He made us feel so welcome every visit, especially with how busy this bar is and he remembered us and our drinks order and even the football team my parter supported so the bar felt very homely. Would 10/10 recommend. Get yourselves to Connolly’s guys. Will be back next year

We visited here a couple times on our World Cup 2026 trip to NYC. We sat on the rooftop for brunch one morning, the top was open and it was magnificent. The Irish breakfast and mimosas were great. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was stellar. Recommended pub near Times Square.

Went to the Blue Fin for dinner before going to see a Broadway Show. The restaurant is gorgeous and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Our server was great and very helpful. My only complaint would be is the food portions! It’s a very expensive restaurant, but they give so little food. I ordered a sea bass, which was $ 44.00 and it was such a small piece, I was very disappointed. It was the same with everything we ordered! They need to do better and stop ripping people off!

Had a phenomenal early dinner here with my good friend Shajuan. The staff Jonathan and Nyasia made this such an exceptional experience. There was another gentleman waiter name Abraham that had an excellent conversation and was very knowledgeable. The meal was very delicious. The scallops were seared to perfection and the sushi was in my top 2 the the Blu fin location in San Jose has my heart.

My wife and I came here for Valentine’s Day dinner with a group of five, and unfortunately our experience started off very poorly due to how we were greeted and seated. When we arrived, a couple of the opposite race was immediately greeted and escorted upstairs for their Valentine’s Day dinner. Meanwhile, my group was directed downstairs and seated by the bar. We were told that was the only seating available at the moment and that they would need to speak with management to see if we were even allowed to sit upstairs because the restaurant was “packed.” Out of curiosity and concern, we walked upstairs ourselves to see the situation, and what we found did not align with what we were told. The upstairs dining area was mostly empty, with only about two or three parties seated throughout the entire space. There was clearly ample seating available, so there should not have been any issue accommodating us upstairs, especially considering we had made plans for Valentine’s Day and drove over three hours to dine here. To be clear, our server was wonderful—attentive, professional, and pleasant. Our issue was not with the service staff, but specifically with the greeters and management at the front door. Their handling of the situation immediately made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome before we could even begin to enjoy our evening. We spent over $500 at what is supposed to be a high-end restaurant, and to be treated this way was extremely disappointing and unacceptable. If it had not been Valentine’s Day and such a special occasion, we likely would have left. Management needs to contact us directly to address this situation, because this experience did not reflect the level of professionalism or hospitality expected from an establishment of this caliber. Food was good but we drove 3 hours from Washington DC and this was not fair to us. I will revise this review after speaking to management.

We came here for my wife's birthday and had a great overall experience. We had reservations, arrived a little early, and were seated in less than a minute. My wife ordered the 3 oz A5 Wagyu, and she said it was excellent. I had the lamb chops, which were cooked perfectly and were one of the highlights of the meal. The lobster mac and cheese was delicious, and the creamy spinach was honestly the best we've ever had. The VIP cocktail was also outstanding and is something I would highly recommend. The bread was decent, and the crab cake was good, but for $29, I thought the portion was quite small. The only dish we didn't enjoy was the lobster bisque. It had a tangy flavor that wasn't to our liking. My only other critique is that the food came out extremely fast. We never felt rushed by the staff, but every course arrived almost immediately after the previous one. For a high-end dining experience, I would have preferred a little more time between courses to enjoy the meal and atmosphere. Overall, everything was very good, and despite those minor criticisms, I would definitely come back.

This is my favorite steakhouse in midtown and likely all of NYC. Amazing cuts! I highly recommend the surf and turf skewer too and creamy spinach. Good wine selection. Ambiance at this place is stunning! Very impressive grand main dining room complemented by large bar to the side, tucked away so it doesn't make the whole place too noisy. Service overall is of a high quality.

This experience was simply fantastic. It’s a beautiful restaurant and the staff were very attentive and helpful in making our time memorable. We made reservations so for us there was no wait! I recommend making reservations since this place gets packed! The food. Oh my gosh. So good! I got the Surf & Turf Filet Trio which is the Filet Medallions Topped With Mini Crab Cake, Half Lobster Tail, Jumbo Shrimp. It was so delicious and worth the price, I know it says filet medallions with the s so plural but for some reason I thought it was just one filet, so it was a lovely surprise to see that there were three filet medallions! The whole meal was delicious and enjoyable. The lobster macaroni and cheese was simply divine, I can’t eat fish due to allergies but I can eat shellfish so my waiter ensured me there was no fish by product in the dish. It was lovely and I truly enjoyed my time. I highly recommend this place!

My dinner at Del Frisco’s last night was truly exceptional. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was elegant, and every detail made for a wonderful experience. What made the evening unforgettable was the outstanding service. Our server, MD, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind throughout the entire meal. His recommendations were excellent, and he made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. A very special thank you to James, the manager, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He treated us like family from the moment we arrived, checking in on us personally and making sure every part of our dining experience was perfect. That level of hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated. Thank you, MD and James, for making our evening so memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Del Frisco’s to anyone looking for not only amazing food but also truly outstanding hospitality.

Went in around 5 on a Friday and we got sat immediately. The service was fine and the food was good. We got the short rib which didn't have much mushrooms which was disappointing the oysters were fresh, the steak was tender and drained and the potatoes were good.

Was soooooo fun and so worth it! The line outside looks crazy long but it moves relatively quickly. We were in in probably less than 20-30 minutes. Service was also super fast, considering the restaurant was packed to the brim, but even if it took hours to get our food, I wouldn’t have minded because the servers put on such a delightful show. (Btw plan to bring a few bucks in cash because a bucket gets passed around for donations that go directly to funding the music education of these talented servers.) The servers are crazy talented and also super nice! Every performance we heard was so good that I’d probably have paid just to hear them sing, not to get fed. On the topic of food, my meal was delicious. I’d heard down the grapevine that the food was mediocre, but that was just plain wrong. The nachos were ENORMOUS and so good, and the pancakes were delicious. The caramel pretzel shake was also great. Huge portions too, so don’t expect to finish it all. Overall a great experience, and all the more worth it knowing your visit is supporting the dreams of these talented people.

Atmosphere 100% exceptional!! With servers singing live!! Food is well served but not so tasty... Every dishes we ordered needed to be more tasty/spicied and needed to be more elaborated.. let say that we won't go back for food but for the musical ambiance.

I was on my first trip to New York City and my cousin wanted to go to this place. We walked from our hotel as it wasn't too far. There was a line but it moved along pretty quickly. We didn't wait much longer than 20 to 25 minutes... but we also went on a weekday, earlier in the evening for dinner, which helped with our shorter wait time. We were seated on the upper level, which was like a diner, counter type seating... which we actually liked better as it gave us a great view of the performances by the staff! A lot of the staff if not all are Broadway performers working until they get offered gigs on Broadway... which was fun about this place! The entertainment was worth the trip alone... and I would say the food was actually pretty decent... I got chicken and waffles and besides not being able to finish it all, it tasted great to me. The others in my party liked their meals as well... which was a club sandwich, and chicken tenders... they also got shakes which were very good! The guy I sat next to was nice too... everyone at the restaurant was just there to have a good time, so I had fun conversations with the people next to me. The staff and performers were awesome and fun and nice! They also told us they had recently lost 8 servers to Broadway musicals, which is their goal... and it also felt great to support the performers there too and to see them along in their theatrical journeys! I highly recommend trying this place... my only caution is to pay attention to your bill as they automatically add gratuity to your bill... but unless you read it, most people would just add gratuity not realizing (I think it was 18% or 20%) was already added... so I didn't leave an additional tip on top of that as we also gave the staff their own tip when they brought Phillip the Bucket around, which any money donated to that goes to helping them fulfill their Broadway dreams by getting headshots or other things they need... that money is dispersed to them, strictly for that purpose... so that's my only caution is that you are already tipping on your bill, so pay attention to that! Otherwise, I don't have any complaints and the staff was great and I wish them the best!

This is a well known and loved diner in the heart of Times Square. Serving up 50s diner classics in an energetic atmosphere, it’s a great place for a bite before a show. Get there early as a line forms outside to get in. We waited about 15 minutes to get in. Try to get a seat on the main floor as you will have better view of the singing servers, many of whom are actors and singers! They put on a great show singing show tunes and classics! Make sure you bring some cash for the tip bucket! Food is classic diner fare served fast and in good portions! This is definitely a unique experience, great for families, kids, and anyone!

My friend knew in her heartsoul that I would absolutely love this place, and she was so right. It was an incredible experience, so much talent to enjoy and fun to be had! The food was AMaZINg, fresh n hot coffee, and adorable memorabilia. The rainbow bagel was so beautiful, I almost didn’t eat it. Our waiter, Sean, was on top of everything and I literally cried when he totally nailed Waving Through a Window from Dear Evan Hansen! The staff sang hits from Rent, Wicked, Lady Gaga, Benson Boone, Wicked and more, all while providing exceptional service to a full house. It was utterly fabulous and magical and I will always make a point to go there when I visit NYC. It is a must-go experience and the food is great with lots of options. A Theatre District Gem thespians and fans will no doubt enjoy and love. I got the Salmon and Lox bagel and it was creamy and fresh and perfect. Make sure to tip your waitress/waiter, not just because they deserve it but because they earn it! They pass around a bucket to help with acting/singing classes too so show some support for local artist and stars in the making. 🌟👏Thank you, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, I love you! 💗 I’m seriously tearing up just thinking about how much fun we had. 🥲🥹🤩✨

Great experience at Olive Garden Times Square! My friend and I came in for the Never Ending Pasta, and we had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server, Clay, was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and really made our visit enjoyable. He did a fabulous job! If you’re visiting this Olive Garden, definitely ask for Clay, he’ll take great care of you and make sure you have a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Very lovely place. Looking good, feeling comfy. It felt like the staff had a lot on their mind, even when entering and while sitting. They meant well, but felt a bit distracted - and after all of that, the waiter asked me to add a tip, it was a bit weird. Loved the food, was nice. Nothing too special.
Michael Aframian - 2 months ago

Finally visited this highly talked about spot and it absolutely delivered! Be prepared for incredibly generous portions — the food was delicious and the staff were wonderfully friendly and attentive. The sangria was an absolute standout — rich, refreshing and utterly divine. Located right in the heart of Times Square with a stunning view to match. A truly memorable experience! 🍹🗽✨

The service and atmosphere are excellent. The salad was the highlight of the restaurant. The breadsticks were very bland. And the Alfredo pasta had barely any sauce, but the chicken was crispy good. Other locations also charge $16 for the never ending pasta but here they charge $20 and other places extra protein charge $5 but here they charge $6. Clearly it’s just a location price at this point you’re not paying for quality just the location. For $32 per person and getting pasta like this is a kind of a rip off.
Anita Andrade - a month ago

The best thing about this place is the unlimited salad and breadsticks. And if you sit by a window, you can look down on a nice view of times square from the second floor while you enjoy a good meal. The portions are the right size and it leaves you satisfied. And the menu has a good gluten free section. As a local in the city, I usually avoid suburban chains like this, but Olive Garden is always great.

We ate here before seeing a show and had a great experience. I got the sausage & marinara pasta and the sauce had a nice flavor profile with surprising depth. Also our food came out really quickly! The $3 mini cannoli for desert was funny but tasted great! Would recommend if you are in the area, even if it is a bit touristy.

After attending a show we had dinner reservations at this Italian restaurant next to the theater. We were warmly greeted and show to our art table. We were provided the wine menu and bottled water was brought to the table. We ordered the calamari which I highly recommend as it was fresh and lightly battered. The warm bread was delivered to the table and it was excellent. I really appreciate how the balsamic vinegar and oil as well as butter was on the table. Mozzarella cheese over fettuccine. My friend ordered the spicy sausage and chicken rigatoni. For dessert because we were selling braiding a birthday they brought out a Tiramisu however we found it to be overly strong with the flavor of the espresso coffee I definitely would come back and it wasn't a bad Italian restaurant.

Of the many things New York is popular for, it is safe to say that the city takes pride in offering, arguably, the best Italian food outside of Italy. As the birthplace of red-sauce Italian American cooking, it has plenty of top-notch options. From popular neighborhood pizza parlors to fancy fine-dining ristorantes with authentic savory wine pairings, Gotham captures the essence of Italian cuisine in every way possible. Just steps inside the Theatre District on 47th Street, this historical family-owned Italian establishment is where locals, tourists, and theatergoers gather for timeless flavors, generous portions, and exceptional hospitality, and it's where my partner, his family, and I decided on dinner before our show. The reservation was easily made a couple of days in advance via OpenTable. Upon entering Trattoria Trecolori last night, we were greeted by the staff and seated promptly inside their 2-story dining room upstairs by the window with exposed brick walls, evoking a lively without being too loud and casual vibe. Their menu has something for everyone, with classic dishes and some delicious specialties that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, with some gluten-free options. We decided on two orders of the Red Snapper special of the day, Farfalle Primavera, and Chicken Tre Funghi. For dessert, some of us opted for Mini Cannoli and Tiramisu. Complimentary fresh bread and butter started our meal. All dishes were served and prepared with care using the finest ingredients. The prices were incredibly fair considering the location. All of our servers were friendly and attentive. Our server was Sergio. We had a wonderful dining experience as Trattoria Trecolori filled our hearts and stomachs!

We had a solid dinner experience with an amazing 2 story restaurant atmosphere. Scratch made authentic Italian dishes that makes you want to come back again for more. The Lasagna and Seabass over Risotto were both solid choices. I believe the Tiramisu for desert is one of the best we have ever had. Fair prices for the quality. I recommend a reservation.
David Bleke - 7 months ago

Would highly suggest grabbing a reservation. Easy walk to majority of Broadway shows. And the serving sizes weren't overly robust that you'd feel bad about leaving leftovers before headed to your show. You're served a bowl of fresh sliced baguette with either butter or the existing olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette on the table. I found the balsamic on the sweeter side, which was delightful. So much so that there was no bread left on the table. I chose the Carpaccio Salad as my entree and it was the perfect size. Not too heavy and the portion was perfect. That along with the bread left me satisfied. Bathroom: Clean: Yes Changing Table: Yes, but it does get a little tight Add'l Notes: Located downstairs. Not much thought was put into the decor of the bathroom. Old school metal stalls and older looking counter top. They do have paper towels for drying option.

07/10/2026 Havana Central Times Square The Service & The Place If you’re looking for a spot with great energy, this one delivers. The lively atmosphere comes alive with a live salsa band, creating the perfect backdrop for happy hour drinks, dinner, or a fun night out. The décor is stylish and inviting, adding to the overall experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our waiter was quick to take care of everything we needed, making the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. If you’re planning to dine during peak hours, making a reservation is highly recommended since tables fill up fast. If you’re stopping by just for Happy Hour, it’s a bit easier to grab a spot and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. The Food If you’re an empanada lover, you’re in for a treat! We ordered the shrimp, beef, and ropa vieja empanadas, and every single one was bursting with flavor. The crispy, golden crust paired perfectly with the savory fillings, making it impossible to pick a favorite. Pro Tip: Stop by during Happy Hour from 4–7 PM for great deals on drinks and bites while soaking up the incredible atmosphere. Between the delicious food, live salsa music, and fun vibes, it’s the perfect spot for after-work cocktails, date night, or catching up with friends. “Eat deliciously"

A really cool spot for some Cuban food in Manhattan. The restaurant had some cool Cuban vibes. The pictures and art work were a nice vibe. We started out with the assortment of three empanadas (beef, chicken and cheese) my personal favorite was the chicken. For my entree I only wanted a small plate, so I ordered the masitas de cerdo which were served with tostones. It was a perfect side (appetizer size) with a side order of avocado. My girlfriend had the white rice with black beans. Both dishes were good. As we were leaving, a small band was setting up to play. The service and decor were really nice. The waiter was quick to take care of all or dining needs. I recommend you do reservations in order to get a table.

The atmosphere was upbeat despite axrain storm outside, and offered a true Cuban vibe. Our waitress Rafaela was fabulous and the Executive Manager stopped by to introduce himself and check on our experience. The food was good but could have had a bit more flavor for my tastes. The pineapple mojito was delicious 😋 and the red Sangria also a nice touch. The only thing that would have been better....happy hour food prices available at our table, not just the bar.

I had dinner here on a Friday night before a Broadway show and the place was packed. I had reservations and got seated fast. Fun vibes with live band playing salsa. I ordered Rice with Shrimp and plantains , Empanadas sampler and Pork. The entrees came with black beans and the portions were generous. The empanadas were delicious and I chose shrimp, beef and ropa vieja. Happy Hour is from 4-7pm and you can order the HH drinks from the table but if you want to order HH food, you have to be at the bar. Overall it was a great experience and I’d definitely go back. This is perfect for a bite and some drinks before your Broadway show. Follow me on Instagram @nj_4_fun

I brought 40 students for dinner after a show. I've been going there since 2008 with large high school groups. We always get the group family style menu and it is always a hit. Stud it's are always full and satisfied. Service is wonderful. Regular menu items are also on point as I have reccomended this place to many people and they always rave how good the food and atmosphere are. If your lucky to go when they have live music...BONUS!

Esthetically it’s a very pleasant looking restaurant, spacious with plenty of options where to be seated. The service is very good, and pretty quick, however our reservation was pre after work crowd. As for the food, appetizers of oysters and calamari were good, as were the sorbet and parfait desserts, the main course of hanger steak was not. The dish lacked seasoning and the meat was chewy for both my friend and I. I mentioned that to both the servers and the manager. Also $11.50 for a 16 oz plastic bottle of flat water is a bit ridiculous.

I can honestly say that Oceans is the best seafood restaurant I have ever experienced. From the moment we walked in, everything felt exceptional. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed — refined without being stuffy. There’s a real buzz in the room, but it never feels overwhelming. The space is beautifully designed and creates the perfect setting for a special evening. The service was outstanding. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being overbearing — the staff clearly take pride in what they do. Every recommendation was spot on, and we were made to feel genuinely welcome throughout the entire meal. As for the seafood, it was simply superb. Fresh, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Every dish tasted premium and thoughtfully prepared. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but in this case, you truly get what you pay for. The quality of the food, the impeccable service, and the atmosphere make it absolutely worth the cost. A memorable dining experience from start to finish — I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We arrived right after they opened, and it was pure magic. The staff welcomed us warmly and were incredibly friendly. They immediately asked what time we needed to leave and made sure everything was served efficiently, so we finished right on time. Their professionalism was outstanding.

We came to Oceana for Restaurant Week and had an amazing experience. The swordfish ceviche was incredibly fresh, unique, and honestly the best ceviche I’ve ever had. The fish entrée was grilled perfectly, and the seafood pasta was cooked beautifully with well-balanced, flavorful sauces. We were genuinely impressed — the quality and execution felt even stronger than some Michelin-starred restaurants we’ve visited during Restaurant Week. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the service was attentive throughout. Highly recommend.

A wonderful experience at Oceana. We first had some drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. Very busy and lovely grows. Once we got seated it was quieter in the dining area. Had a large group and took advantage of the Seafood Tower. The beet salad was really good as was the filet.

The Capital Grille is a special place for me. It was my first great American steakhouse where I was introduced to the science of steaks. It happened many years ago, and since then I've been to many great steakhouses, but Capital Grille will always be a special one for me. So when deciding on a place to celebrate 3 birthdays with my girlfriends, the Capital Grille was a no-brainer. And it didn't disappoint. Everything was great - service, food, ambiance. I personally love their wedge salad. It's not a complicated salad, but they do it specifically well. Our steaks were cooked perfectly as we ordered. The wague fillet mignon was out of this world good. Truffle parmesan fries hit the right spot. A complimentary dessert was a cherry 🍒 on top. Evening well spent.

My husband and I came here for dinner before a show. We typically go to the one in Garden City for our anniversary and we figured this one would be good as well! We were right! Not only was the food excellent but the service was incredible! We had Cole and he was amazing! Funny, charming, and an absolute pleasure! We will definitely be back and we will definitely be requesting Cole!

hopped in for a late lunch at this popular midtown steakhouse. The mouthwatering wagyu burgers here are to die for. Juicy, well marbled blend of wagyu patty grilled to perfection and topped with caramelized onions and white cheddar cheese. This is one serious steakhouse burger!
Daniel Chow - 6 months ago

An attractive setting, reasonable value, but the food doesn't quite deliver I stopped into The Capital Grille for lunch and was seated immediately at the bar. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, and the atmosphere was comfortable, polished, and attractive. It's certainly an inviting space, although I ultimately found the surroundings more impressive than the food. The bread arrived less warm than I would have preferred, though the assortment included an interesting, almost matzah-like flatbread. I started with the French onion soup, which was perfectly acceptable but unremarkable. There was plenty of cheese, but I would have appreciated more onions and a little more depth of flavor. For my main course, I ordered the New York strip steak with potatoes au gratin. The steak was good, certainly a step above what you'd expect from an average restaurant, but it didn't approach the quality or distinction of New York's more established steakhouses, such as Delmonico's. The potatoes au gratin were the most disappointing part of the meal. Rather than the rich, creamy, cheesy preparation I associate with a classic gratin, this version featured a breadcrumb topping that created an unusual and somewhat unappealing texture. It also could have benefited from considerably more cheese. Service was pleasant and professional throughout, and I had no complaints in that regard. The total came to approximately $80, which I considered quite reasonable for an upscale steakhouse lunch in Midtown Manhattan. Ultimately, The Capital Grille is a perfectly acceptable option for a convenient individual lunch. While the setting is certainly appropriate for business entertaining, the food on this visit wasn't distinctive enough for me to choose it for an important client meal. It's an attractive restaurant offering reasonable value and competent service, but the overall dining experience doesn't quite rise to the expectations created by its surroundings. Not a bad lunch by any means, just not a particularly memorable one.

I don’t know what’s happened to this place but it’s not the same place it was 5 years ago. It seems there have been some management Co changes since around 2023 that might explain things. I used to eat here regularly at least a couple of times per month when i lived in hell’s kitchen. The NY strip used to be melt in the mouth with a perfectly seasoned crispy char/sear/crust on the top. Now - almost zero char and under seasoned - first time i have ever reached for the salt shaker. The texture of the beef was also grainy. Id taken a friend from out of town here because he’d never had a proper NY steak. This left him very underwhelmed. See photo for comparison of what it used to look like now (left) vs then (right) At $72 a pop it’s too expensive to try again on the off chance things return to their prior form. It’s a shame because the place itself is beautiful and the vibes and service are still superb…

This place was a great find! Had the best Family Dinner. If you are looking for an amazing Italian dinner, look no further. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel completely taken care of from the moment you walk through the doors. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, but the highlight of our evening was the wine service. The sommelier took the time to understand our tastes and expertly paired wines with our food that perfectly complemented the flavors of our meal. It’s rare to find such a seamless blend of outstanding food, impeccable service, and expert wine knowledge. Highly recommend!

Decided on La Masseria for dinner on our 2nd night in NYC. Glad we did. From beginning to end the meal, the service, the atmosphere was top notch. The Mozzarella was fresh and delicious, the branzino was made perfectly, tiramisu was also very good. Service was fantastic and the Amarone we had very enjoyable. All made fir a perfect night. Thanks to Julio the manager for an awesome dinner. We will be back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful dinner at La Masseria! The food was absolutely delicious , and every dish had a real authentic Italian flavor. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The service was just as amazing as the food. All of the waiters were so kind, friendly, and attentive, and the manager was incredibly sweet and welcoming. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. We also wanted to change a dish and they had no problem. They were really nice. The prices are very well and good 😊 The atmosphere was warm and beautiful, and we truly enjoyed every minute of our evening. This is definitely the best Italian restaurants we’ve been to in New York, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended They have a really wide variety of dishes for everyone.

La Masseria offers a genuinely warm dining experience. Even when busy, the staff takes the time to check on every table and make sure everything is taken care of. They may not be flawless, but they are truly attentive. As a rabbit lover, I had the rabbit dish, and it was absolutely delicious. My friends ordered steak and seafood, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Everyone left very satisfied. The cocktails were excellent, and the dessert was delightful, especially the Tartufo al Cioccolato. They also have an outstanding wine selection. It’s not overly expensive, but not exactly cheap either, more of a mid-range spot with great quality. Definitely a place worth visiting for a fantastic meal in Manhattan.
