It's usually less busy during weekday lunch hours, which makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The service is amazing, and the food is delicious! The food was fresh and came out fast. We had Soup of the Day as appetizers, Saffron Pappardelle for our entrées, and Lemon, Blood Orange, Peach sorbets for desserts. Everything was tasty and flavorful, and all of our dishes were gluten free, dairy free and soy free. The portions were big so you will not go away hungry. They have many choices to offer on their menu including gluten free, soy free and dairy free options which is a great plus for people with dietary restrictions or allergies. We would come back again. Highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Midtown East Manhattan.

Fantastic late lunch after a day gallivanting through Central Park and trodding through The Met and…read moreGuggenheim. Sat at the bar with the attentive and entertaining bartenders. It was a decent crowd for a 3pm lunch. Started with the Alphonsino crudi -- really nice. Have to admit, love me some kin medai -- and have not had it with eggplant/basil/chili before. Was a great start. Moved on to the grilled octopus -- was one of the dual highlights of the meal. Cooked perfectly -- so tender -- great smoked wood flavor -- crispy potatoes, was really nice. I did miss the classic olives and felt like there could have been something with a bit more acid in there (there were some pickled onions, but they were few and far between), but the octopus was so well executed it didn't matter. Had the Risotto di funghi - really a highlight. I am a self-proclaimed mushroom risotto savant and have perfected it at home. I am very particular about it, and usually don't order it at restaurants. My daughters love to test -- and have yet to say any has ever been "better than Dad's". This may have given me a run for my money. It was so well executed -- and the magic was in whatever stock was carefully concocted and used. It was so rich, and pure, and umami-ish. Was really a great combination of savory and elegant. I enjoyed every spoonful. I added the escarole as a side -- was a bit concerned there would be too much acidity with the white sardines -- but it actually went well and was quite tasty. I also have call out the excellent wine-by-the-glass list. This is really what brought me in (aside from the convenient location to my hotel at the JWM). I went all Italian -- started with Etna Bianco which is such an underrated wine (and grape, carricante is a favorite) from Sicily that is just all acid and mineral, loved it. Shifted over to a Verdicchio Superiore -- have not had it before -- and loved it. Maybe the roundest verdicchio I've had, quite nice. Transitioned to the Etna Rosso with the risotto, light, fruity, high acid -- right in my wheelhouse. Overall, great Sunday afternoon meal. One note -- you are paying Central Park prices for sure -- I would say that everything is 25% marked up as a result -- but you are getting high quality ingredients, excellent execution, great selection/menu, and wonderful service.

I've been trying to come here for a while and after three canceled reservations and losing all of…read moretheir Michelin Stars, I've finally stuck with my reservation and got to try this spot out. It was worth the wait all of these years. I ordered the Fusilli ($52), which this apparently one of their most iconic dishes that they're known for. Oh, it's freakin good. It consisted of red wine braised octopus and bone marrow. My friend ordered the Marubini ($49), which is a ricotta filled ravioli, ramp, pea, and crispy lamb. I was able to try a piece and it also tasted great. However, looking at his plate, for the number of ravioli you get for the price you're paying would have me reconsider ordering this. It was also my friend's birthday, which I mentioned on the reservation, so they brought out a complementary dessert for him. Don't remember which one on the menu it is, but it was delicious. Service overall was fantastic. It is essentially what you expect from a Michelin Star restaurant, although they are now lacking them now. Hopefully they'll get them back in the future.

Gluten intolerance heaven!!!…read more It was such a thrill to be able order ANYTHING on the menu. And the food is really, really good. My (non gluten intolerant) family agreed - nearly everything was amazing. The ravioli was top notch, as was the lasagna. And the tiramisu was delicious (and huge). The lava cake was the only thing we thought tasted "gluten free" as it was a little gritty. A couple of negatives: they only take cash and Amex, and it's pricey, so be ready with the ATM. Also our server was either having a bad night, or should not be in the waitress game. Yikes. But the food was so yummy I'm still giving it 5 stars.

We started with the Heirloom Tomato whipped ricotta, tropea onions, basils served with bread mascarpone cheese with olive oil drizzled on top. This was such a tasty appetizer. Growing up in an Italian household this dish was always a great dish. Kudos. We next split the Lasagna alla Piastra which was outstanding. Then we split Dry Aged Pork Chop sambuca braised fennel, jus. Need to incorporate all that together. What a spectacular evening of food from beginning to end. Lastly ended with the Gelati and Sorbetto Trio. The wine list is huge. Luckily we had a sommelier assist us. Yes NYC and prices of the wine $100. However an excellent wine. Urlari Pervale. But wait it gets better. Radu was our waiter. What an absolute professional. What a joy to have a very knowledgeable waiter who was spot on with every recommendation on the menu.

Wasn't planning on writing this review but had a BAD experience last night at the 'rebooted' Babbo…read more Afraid it felt like a BIG downgrade after the reopening. Our server was adequate, if not especially attentive or friendly. I understand that times get busy, but at this price point / expected caliber of restaurant, it was a bit of a letdown. Couple at the table next to ours, obviously on a date, got the pasta tasting and seemed nonplussed by it throughout. Ordered 2 Hendrick's martinis ($22) each, $4 more (ea.) than at the Salmagundi Club but less strong. We were truly baffled by the White Escarole Salad ($24) -- torn escarole hearts, toasted walnuts, Chianti vinegar, shaved torpedo onions, pecorino foglio di noce -- and the Olive Garden / Pizza Hut presentation. Bland, totally lacking in flavor. The portion was sizable, perhaps to its detriment. It was a Pizza Hut doppelgänger for sure. Sasso Chicken al Mattone ($40) -- sweet fennel sausage, braised escarole greens, spicy pepper condimento -- sausages were shaped into small, lumpy patties and BURNT. Chicken was slightly dry. Much prefer the chicken at FORGIONE. Mezzalune ($28) -- beet, smoked mozzarella, poppy seed butter -- 6 tiny dumplings. They resembled little gyoza but weren't pan-fried. The fillings were pretty tasty. Dessert was extremely underwhelming -- 4 lackluster options. Begrudgingly, we went with the Diplomatico ($18). I think they need to reboot their sweets menu and lower prices to about $14-16. Bill was $233 before tip. Tipped 14-15%. NOT RECOMMENDED.

I wonder if this is a constant issue (I mean, it's a Saturday night) or because it was so close to closing time. My server was an absolute delight and made little jokes with me about ordering a margarita and a margherita. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Marg was refreshing and the pizza was so cheesy and tasty. Based off those two items and the service, I was delighted with my experience and happy I finally got to try Coppola's, given that I frequent the area a lot. I'd definitely recommend that everyone give them a try!

Rawsome treats is changing the dessert game…read more I got the trisome and carrot cake. The trisome, which is a berry cake with a 2 layers of creaminess and a base of dates, truly shocked me as to how good it was. Sweet, an amazing texture, and in no-way tasted like a health dessert. The carrot cake on the other hand (which was recommended by the woman behind the counter who I presume to be the owner) was unfortunately no where near as good in comparison to the trisome. It lacked sweetness and despite letting it thaw for at least ten minutes as instructed was too rigid in texture and didn't feel decadent. I will be back next time I am in nyc to try more flavors. The health positives outweigh any sweetness/texture deficits.

The interior was completely packed, and the noise level was high enough for my smart watch to complain. To sample a bit of everything, we shared two orders of focaccia, four pastas, and one dessert. HOUSE-MADE FOCACCIA - 10 Super bouncy with a bit of chew, this was probably the best focaccia I've ever eaten. It came generously drizzled with olive oil and alongside chopped peppers drenched in even more olive oil, which added a nice little kick. We highly recommend starting with this. TAGLIATELLE - 27 Out of the four pastas, this was my absolute favorite. I love the thin yet chewy texture of the tagliatelle, and the bolognese sauce was rich and hearty. Finished with just the right amount of Parmigiano, both the pasta texture and sauce were sheer perfection. PICI 'CACIO E PEPE' - 23 This was such a simple pasta, yet so delicious. It was incredibly creamy and cheesy, with hints of fresh black pepper flavor that blew standard at-home black pepper grinders out of the water. Despite it being the simplest pasta of the night, I enjoyed it immensely. RIGATONI - 32 This pasta was simple yet slightly innovative, featuring sausage paired with a broccoli-based pesto. There was a slight bitterness that was polarizing among our group. While this wasn't my favorite pasta, I appreciated the creativity. PERCIATELLI NERO - 35 This dish packed in more components than just pasta and sauce: plenty of crab, tomatoes, and crispy breadcrumbs on top. However, the combination wasn't very memorable. None of the flavors really stood out, and it was my least favorite pasta of the night. OLIVE OIL CAKE - 14 Served with a pile of golden raisins and fancy whipped cream, this ended up being a bit of a miss. The raisins were a bit too sweet, and the cake's texture was uneven -- some bites were soft and moist, while others felt dry. A couple of others in my group also felt the same way. Overall, I'd give L'Artusi a 4.5/5; it was mostly hits with a couple of misses. The pasta portions are quite small. Since each dish is primarily carbs and sauce, I'd imagine you'll likely need an appetizer or a pasta and a half to leave full. Still, I'd definitely come back for the focaccia, tagliatelle, and the cacio e pepe.

It's obvious they use quality ingredients and the kitchen is technically very sound. The pasta in particular was cooked perfectly. Everything we had was good and well executed, but nothing really jumped out at me or felt especially memorable. There are several places around the city that I feel can deliver a similar meal and experience without quite as much hype. That's not to say I didn't enjoy L'Artusi, because I absolutely did. It just didn't separate itself from some of the other really good Italian restaurants I've visited. Service was great, the atmosphere was nice, and overall we had a very enjoyable dinner. Just one where my expectations may have been a little higher than the experience delivered.

I have to agree with ALL these reviews-this place is absolutely fantastic and they should not…read morechange a thing! First off-the owners are so FRIENDLY and kind--you can talk to them about anything and they are happy to answer questions about any of the food and/or drinks. You can tell they love owning this place and meeting customers. I have heard so much about the Pub and went for the first time yesterday with two friends. We had one of their rotating cask beers and one of their bitter regular casks which is a staple of the establishment-each beer was delicious and tasty! I had the vegan curry dish which was very tasty with veggies, rice and great spice. My friends had a dish similar to Shepherd's Pie but slightly different and cooked with more like steak stewed meat rather than lamb and we all licked our plates clean LOL. We also shared two of the desserts which were vanilla ice cream with some type of coconut cookie in it and the other was vanilla ice cream with a yummy type of strawberry sauce I think. The atmosphere is so laid back as well-like traditional British Pubs you order your drinks and food at the bar and they deliver your food to your table with a number. You are able to sit wherever you would like and I hear it gets very packed for European football games. I can't wait until I get a chance to go again-there aren't a ton of food options being that I don't eat red meat-but I was able to find the curry and could also try the Fish and Chips which looked amazing and I have heard it is great. If you are in the area-stop by for a drink or two and you will not be disappointed-you feel like you are transported to England with these type of pub.

It was bright and sunny outside, but traditionally dark and well worn inside. You order at the bar and they bring everything to your table. Owners were very nice as you'd expect. I got their house bitter cask ale. Very good however please note this is close to room temperature than a typical cold beer; I personally love the style and this was a good example. My son doesn't understand that British people call fries chips, so we ended up having to get him French fries and potato chips. They luckily had the latter, even if they didn't have plain ones, so we got him ketchup-flavored chips that of course he proceeded to barely eat (they were actually good). He did like the French fries/British chips, and my wife liked her breakfast sandwich even if it was a bit heavy for her. My fish and chips were really freaking good. Sizable piece of fish (haddock), nice and crisp, with a ton of chips and lots of sauces (spicy mustard, vinegar, etc). Maybe not my favorite fish and chips ever, but it hit the spot. Would come back here in a heartbeat, especially where I could relax and drink a bit more. Completely understand why they are recognized as a top bar in the US.
