Description: Located in the heart of Times Square and the Theater District, and walking distance to every Broadway show, this landmark eatery treats you like family and offers up perfect steaks, homemade mozzarella and a fabulous antipasto bar. Bond 45 feels like part of old New York, because it is. The Ziegfeld Follies played on our roof back when the building was the Hammerstein Theater. The New York Post calls Bond 45 “An Italian steakhouse reincarnation of the old Jack Dempsey’s, which already tastes like a long running hit, and Hal Rubenstein of New York Magazine says it: ”Treats [you] like family while executing home-style cooking as solid as my mom’s."

“Overrated!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

So all the reviews said this is a MUST! But for the prices they charge we found the service very average. The food was good, but not outstanding. And for the prices they charge I really expected more.... Would not recommend as we had better meals for half the price.

“Good Italian food in mid town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013 via mobile

Had been here once before many years ago with friends and really enjoyed myself so took the opportunity to take the boyfriend on a return visit! The place is really good looking inside, nice booths, romantically lit, crisp table cloths. We ordered a pizza and carbonara, both were nice, not amazing but good for a centrally located restaurant. Service was good but a bit rushed. Complementary Prosecco when we sat down was a very nice touch. Carbonara had a fried egg on top, wierd but quite nice!

“Great Antipasti & location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

If you are looking for a nice restaurant located in Times Square that is not a typical busy tourist eatery that only has a menu full of deep fried/battered foods then this is the best place for you.

We came here 2 years ago (came by it by accident) and wanted to return on our recent trip. The restaurant is set in an old fashioned way which add's charm to the place. The antipasti is delicious and the pizza's are great.
The waiter is good at recommending food and topping up our drinks yet at times I was unsure if he was being grumpy or just joking around.

Overall, out of all the tourist restaurants located in Times Square, this is by far my favourite.

“Convenient to Theatres”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Excellent prefixe lunch. Part of the Fireman Group. We eat here often because of its convenience to Broadway Theatre. Italian food and great bar. Expensive but good for special events. Took our granddaughter for her birthday and she loved it. They had a birthday cupcake for her. A winner.
