Dim lighting, romantic atmosphere... Wonderful wine list. Try the red beet fingerling gnocchi in the gorgonzola sauce, it's just divine!!
One of my uptown favorites. Huge fan of the goat cheese & black pepper bruschetta, as well as the veal ragout farfalle. Wine is also incredibly well-priced. Sit in their back garden, if you can.
A romantic and intimate setting with an incredible wine list, making it the ultimate date spot. The gnocchi here is to die for! Be sure to also come for brunch and get the Contadina frittata.
Gnocchi is the best I've ever had. Personally I think the mac and cheese is a bit too rich, but basically everything is delicious.
The Mac & Cheese here is my favorite in all of NYC. I'm not sure what cheese blend they use, but it's an excellent combination. No beer taps & no reservations. Bottled beer. Wine bar feeling.
Tuna Tartar was amazing! Definitely a must have. We had the short ribs special that was so delicious and the Mac and cheese with mushrooms and truffle oil. Best comfort food in NYC.
Try any of the homemade pastas, they all are excellent!
Hands down my favorite pasta in the city. Simply amazing!
Homemade pastas, bread baskets & sauces are all delicious. An authentic, ambient Italian restaurant. Enjoy a great meal for reasonable $. Much more elegant than a pizzeria, but w same hearty feeling.
Try the margherita pizza and fried calamari to start, and then one of their homemade pastas as an entree! Can't go wrong with any of the selections!
Great classic Italian restaurant with delicious pizza, pasta, and fried calamari! Spotted a Real Housewife of DC - it's a favorite! A lot of families with children, too.
The SPAGHETTI ALL’ARAGOSTA (spaghetti w/ half a lobster in a spicy tomato sauce) was one of the most amazing things I've ever put in my mouth.
The 3 best dishes: pappardelle alla Bolognese, Sfoglia’s chicken al mattone and Bread Pudding!!!
Tip to self: the Pappardelle alla Bolognese is great. The Rhubarb and Cherry Torta with Vanilla Gelato is--somehow--even better.
Sit at the bar, and order the pappardelle and seasonal dessert tart. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails (especially the tangerine cello). The roast chicken is a staple and always delicious.
Great italian market! Prepared food is great, bread and cheese selection is awesome and the fresh pasta they make is delicious. Also has a MUCH better produce selection that D'Agostinos.
The lobster ravioli is a must. Have tried finding it elsewhere and tried ordering it at various restaurants in the area, nothing compares such a treat and easy to make, excellent with vodka sauce.
The ravioli of the day is a must! Classic neighborhood gem! Must dine! Ask for Vinny!
Amazing burrata and really unique style of gnocchi.
This is one of the best Italian restaurants I have been in NYC! Food is fresh and excellent! Gnocchi was probably my favorite today! Will come back soon !
Get the pappardelle with white truffle (or black truffle depending on the season)
Get the side dish of pasta ~delicious and less costly. Sea bass is pricey but heavenly.
High class clientele for sure. I had pappardelle with a mound of fresh truffles so of course that was amazing. Everything else was sort of just ok.
The best pasta is Santa Lucia - you can only get it on Saturday night!
Pasta Primavera was phenomenal. Has a typical cozy Italian restaurant ambiance.
Best night is Wednesday...spaghetti & meatball night!!
Rigatoni with spicy Italian sausage and Puccini mushrooms, and lemon tart for dessert. Wonderful!
The lobster ravioli is divine.. Pair it with the Malbec from Argentina and you're set.
Very good pasta, but the 'special free dessert' it's apparently not valid anymore.
Lasagna Bolognese is awesome. Also, best iced tea I've ever had.
Mezzaluna is the perfect low-key Italian dinner on the Upper East Side. You can’t go wrong with any of the brick oven pizzas; however our recommendation is the spicy black linguine with shrimp.
Delicious: artichoke ravioli w/brown butter sage sauce. Also yummy: kale salad. But: my pasta arrived 20 mins after everyone else's entree. On a Friday night, it was full of families (lots of kids).
Green beans, diced tomatoes & red onions in balsamic vinegar = perfect Springtime appetizer. The gnocchi is light and delicious. Best Italian on the Upper East Side? Limited seating - book in advance.
Great Gorgonzola gnocchi, can't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes, lamb chops, or fish entrees. Wouldn't recommend the scampi.
Great Italian spot. The imported burrata, gnocchi with truffle, and chicken scarpariello are great!
Linguine alle vongole - mmmmm! you can't go wrong at place where the bartender's name rhymes with cat!
Great Pastas
Great wine list, incredible pasta.
The butternut squash salad is the best (it's seasonal) and I stick with the parmigiana ravioli with...yes, truffle butter!
Ravioli, duck spring rolls, and pork sliders are to die for!!!!!
Get the tuna tartar crostini, the gnocchi and the churro dessert - heavenly!!
Split the Jaeger Schnitzel entree with a friend and it was rich but delicious. Spaetzle was crisp and buttery and the red cabbage was perfectly tart and sweet. Order it with beer and you can't lose.
No nonsense awesome food. Sausage sampler, cheesy spaetzle app and creamed spinach are all must tries! Great for beer drinkers
The spaetzle is amazing
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
