    If you want to go to an Old School Italian restaurant in the city Paul and Jimmy's may fit the bill. It is small and cozy almost like you are at someone's house. The portions are large so you will not leave hungry. My ravioli over a beef sauce was certainly hearty. Service was good ok but the waiter seemed to want an alcoholic drink order. Nonetheless I appreciated the old style format.

    Calamari was nice portion. Entree Small portions zuppa di Pesci ,delicious authentic food. There was a delay for entrees to be served after appetizer was out for 25 minutes. My Lychee martinee was delicious but no lychee fruit. Which is my favorite!

    Super cute and small. Food came out quick. I was sad I didn't get to try the branzino but I tried another white fish. The drinks were good. I had good company. We were basically the only ones at the restaurant so the service was rapid as well.

    Delightful Italian-American eatery. I was there carbo-loading for a half marathon, and between the bread, the pasta, the lasagna, I was happy! Important to note that Italian and Italian-American are two, go here for the latter! Good ambiance, good acoustics, in a great area of the city.

    I came here with my family for our annual Holiday City trip. I was very happy they were able to accommodate 17 of us and out of 17 were 7 kids, cheers to our waiter! He was excellent! Staff was very friendly. The lights went off when we got there, we thought it was the ambience- which we were fine with too! But once the lights went on while we ordered -- we were happy to see the festive decor! The cocktails were delicious-- I sipped and enjoyed my Aperol spritzes. The calamari was delicious, my kids devoured them. They also enjoyed the rigatoni vodka! I started with the breaded clams, hands down one of my favorites. The eggplant parm was so soft and the mozzarella pull on top was quite amazing. My husband got the chicken francese, it was so tender and flavorful. For dessert, I got the spumoni which was rich and very creamy. I wish I ordered another but my husband got the riccota cheesecake and wow, it was perfect. Not too sweet not too cheesy, simply perfect... plus with an espresso. So wonderful! Cheers to the staff and chef!

    Italian eating all the way! I LOVE this place! Friendly greetings when we stepped in for lunch and the waiter service the entire time was great. They all seem to work so well together, helping each other which makes for the BEST service you can have! There was a good size lunch crowd which is always a sign of great food! We both had the lunch prix fixe and were thrilled with our choices! A bread basket, appetizer, entree, and dessert! We will return and we have already recommended it to family that lives in the city and to friends visiting!

    This place has been here since 1950 and I felt like a hot mob wife in the golden age of nyc eating here. Staff is so so lovely and wonderful. Everything we ate was very delicious. The vibe is warm, romantic, welcoming, charming, vintage yet clean and modern. Would come here every week if I was a local. Also had a Caesar salad which had delicious homemade dressing with a lite anchovy taste, wonderful. Forgot to take a photo. And we both had affogato for dessert which was fantastic but I ate it before I remembered to take a photo

    Ordered a lasagna which was good but not great. Service was pretty good. Only ordered an entree so we were in and out within 40 minutes.

    Came here with coworkers on a Tuesday afternoon. Ambiance is very homey. We ordered two plates of calamari and I ordered a Linguini alla Vongole. The pasta was very salty, aside from the high sodium intake, the calamari was by far my favorite. I will recommend ordering their calamari.

    Chic restaurant with open kitchen and a small upstairs private dining room. The restaurant felt…read moreromantic but also has several families and friend groups. The pasta was al dente perfection and most importantly there were generous sauce portions. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and personable. I dined with a friend and we ordered 3 pastas instead of an appetizer (fantastic choice). We tried the following dishes: *Garganelli Mushroom Ragu and Ricotta Salata. This was by far our favorite dish. It was bursting with flavor, had tons of sauce and cheese and was perfectly cooked. If you enjoy mushroom you MUST order this!! *Tagliatelle Bolognese Bianco (Chicken, Veal, Pork) and Parmigiano. Which was so delicious and has plenty of meat and sauce. The tagliatelle was amazing and tasted to fresh. *Bucatini with Pancetta, Tomato, Chilies and Pecorino. We thought this was good but our least favorite dish of the 3. Honorable mention to the spaghetti that my friend had at her last visit. She said it was fresh and delicious but almost too rich which she mostly owned to it being a white sauce.

We started with the housemade focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio--both were outstanding, with the perfect balance of crispy, flavorful, and fresh elements. My partner and I shared the pasta, hangar steak, and potatoes, which turned out to be the ideal amount for two. We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well. Overall, we highly recommend L'Artusi for a special night out!

Water and excellent bread arrived immediately and the waiter was helpful describing dishes and giving advice. Salads were fresh and crisp. Caesar was nicely dressed and the mixed salad was a nice combination with well balanced herb vinaigrette. Seafood dishes had large amounts of fresh seafood and the veal picatta had the lemony flavor you expect without excessive acidity. Dessert was tasty and innovative. The ricotta based cheese cake wasn't as smooth as the cream cheese form but the citrus flavor was great. Throughout the meal water and bread were refilled, plates from completed courses removed and next delivered without being overly hovering. All in all a really great meal.

It works especially well for a mixed group since they have plenty of options including dishes without meat and everyone can find something. Even my picky niece and nephew were happy. My favorite entree is the Capellini Puttanesca, with capers, olives, basil, and anchovies. It's super tasty, satisfying, and the perfect portion. I also love that they offer wine by the glass and the service is consistently attentive. The waiters are always moving through the room, checking tables, refilling water, and making sure people have what they need. It's good, reliable, and near Broadway. NOTES/TIPS: **Reservations recommended via Google, Open Table; wheelchair accessible; clean bathrooms.
