We ended here based on a friends recommendation. We went for a pre theater dinner. We were the only customers there around 5pm so we definitely missed out on the ambience. The place is nice and the staff were very friendly. The Chilean Bass was great. Rest of group had pasta. How different could that be. Overall very pleasant meal. Walking distance to theater district.

Staff seem nice enough, but this eatery - like most American Italian restaurants - does not deliver truly authentic Italian food and does not deliver value. I had a pasta dish with shellfish which was decent but not memorable, and, for the price, did not leave me with a good feeling. If you are going to serve pasta and charge a higher price, you should be able to dazzle the senses. Instead, I left a bit dazed that we had spent almost $175 for 2 adult dinners and a child's plate. There aren't great choices in this Midtown area of NY, so go if you're in a bind, go as long as you're ready to shell out some Do-Re-Mi, for, Mama Mia, average Italian fare. Sorry I couldn't be nicer. We had nothing against the service. They seem to want to please the customer. Step it up, is my advice to the management, and deliver something outstanding.

We had the pleasure of dining here while in NYC for the Fancy Food Show. One of our daughter's college friends lives in the city so we always meet her for dinner when we're in town. We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation time but since it was fairly early in the evening, we ere able to be seated promptly. One linen tablecloths, cozy ambiance, and friendly, attentive staff were the order of the day. We ordered a very nice nebbiolo and didn't feel much like appetizers so went right for the entrees. I order the timballo, our friend ordered the squid ink pasta, and my wife ordered the tortellini porcini. Every dish was absolute perfection. the portion sizes were just right, the seasoning was perfect and it was so delicious. Our server was very attentive even though the restaurant was rapidly filling and the number of tables he had grew at a fast pace.

We declined dessert, being too full. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I know we'll be back next year when we're in the city again.

A memorable meal to be sure. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was incredibly attentive, and I was made to feel like a welcome guest in a fastidious home... All without breaking the bank! From the amuse bouche to the limoncello and biscotti at the end, there wasn't a thing out of place. The hostess was so gracious, she even came outside as I was leaving to introduce herself and warmly invited me to return. New York offers plenty of good food, but service at that level is rare without paying a fortune. I was incredibly impressed and plan to return soon!

My son and I were in NYC a recent Friday night. We stayed close to Times Square. We went to Trip Adviser for dinner recommendations. We decided on Italian food and Il Punto (Trip Advisor ranked in the top 100 restaurants in NYC) was close to our hotel - a short walk away. We didn't have reservations but were graciously welcomed nonetheless. A great selection of bread brought to the table. A Moche Bouche of chilled Gazpacho arrived soon after. We had a 4 course dinner from appetizers through dessert. The food was well prepared. Some of the dishes were not necessarily Italian - lamb chops and swordfish were well prepared and delicious but somewhat Americanized. The sides were definitely Italian from the fried calamari to the squid ink risotto and definitely the tiramisu. Italian wines by the glass for $10-15. Outstanding service during our meal. This place is good and pricey, but then again NYC is a pricey destination. We would come here again. It is off the main touristy area of Times Square and there were lots of locals there that night.
