Tony's is one of my favorite places to bring a large group. They are consistently able to accommodate parties of all sizes, and the staff are easygoing and great to work with, which takes a lot of the stress out of planning. The food is exactly what you want from a classic Italian-American spot. The rigatoni, chicken parm, steak, and calamari are all solid choices, and it is hard to go wrong with the menu. Service is quick and attentive, the portions are generous, and everyone leaves full. I would definitely recommend it for group dinners or celebrations. read more

The waitress must have misspoke. She said they're 2 types of red sauce, salty or sweet. So we chose sweet which we didn't like. I think the waitress meant regular or sweet. Whatever So we didn't like a lot of what we ordered. An expensive mistake :( read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday after a dentist visit. One nice perk is that you can earn points through OpenTable.com and get cash back with Upside App, both are free and easy to use. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, comfortable, and Italian atmosphere! The place was a little busy the whole time we were there, so I highly recommend making a reservation. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. I had White Clam Sauce with gluten free spaghetti, which was tasty, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. read more

My mom took me here for my birthday last month. I'm not really big on Italian food. It's low on my list of food that I like but it was easy to get here and it was already a long day. We got the antipasto salad, which I didn't love but it wasn't bad there was just a flavor I didn't like in it. We split the penne vodka, broccoli rabe and shrimp oreganata. It was some of the best food I had in a long time. Absolutely delicious I would def be back! read more

I'm no stranger to Tony's, but it was my first time at this location and I loved it! We started off with cocktails and calamari. Wish the calamari was crispier. For our entrees we tried the chicken saltimbocca and the baked paccheri pasta. Both were delicious! Service was good and quick. The ambiance is more lowkey, compared to the Times Square location. Excited to return to this location soon. read more

This place was fantastic with truly amazing service. I made a reservation and were seated quickly, which was a great start. The bread and oil were delicious--simple but tasty. I loved my drinks too! Perfect balance of ice and flavor! cheers to that and the bartender The family-style dining concept is such a great idea, especially for sharing with 2-3 people. We ordered two different pastas along with plates of meat, and everything was absolutely worth the wait--so flavorful and delicious. Our waitress was adorable, super sweet, and incredibly kind. She checked on us often and really made my dad's birthday unforgettable. Thank you, Tony's! We'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Place was quite empty when I arrived at 12. I got the chopped antipasto and the bolognese rigatoni. Both were fantastic. I got the half sizes and even then I could have shared with 1-2 people. The staff was really friendly, very personable and made me feel like a local to the restaurant. The space is also quite big for NYC, a good place to host large parties. read more

We came to the restaurant for the first time for our pre'opera dinner! Great space, make a reservation just in case. Our server was the wonderful Anthony. The dishes are family style in size! Bring your appetite!!! We had calamari appetizer and THAT was huge! Delicious all around! For dinner we had egg plant parmigiana, and seafood pasta. LISTEN TO YOUR SERVER! They will tell you all you need to know about eating there. For example the eggplant parmigiana is just that. There are no sides. Bread and butter are complimentary. We had bottled water, and a glass of wine. Great service! read more

Came here with a group of five and we all enjoyed it. We made a reservation and would recommend doing so as the place was packed on a Thursday night. The food was served family style, which worked well with our group. It's a loud, fun, New York spot that we would all recommend! We ordered: - appetizers: 1/2 order mussels, 1/2 order eggplant rollitini, and full order of salad - mains: 1/2 shrimp scampi, full chicken parmigiana, 1/2 spaghetti and meatball, and full rigatoni allá vodka - dessert: strawberry shortcake (which was MASSIVE) and more than enough for all of us read more

I was in the mood for Italian food after spending the evening at The Met, so my husband started searching for nearby restaurants that serve my favorite dish, Eggplant Parmigiana, and found Tony's Di Napoli. Although it was a Saturday night, we were able to easily get a table without a reservation. What a relief! Especially since I was super hungry. Their menu is designed for "communal dining", which is perfect for us as we prefer to dine this way anyways. For those not familiar with communal dining, think "order a few dishes for the entire table to share". We ordered the half size of both the Eggplant Parmigiana and the Fettuccine Alfredo. For reference, the Half Size is meant to be shared between 1-2 people and the Full Size is meant for 3-4. The Eggplant Parmigiana was as delicious as I had hoped it would be! Thinly sliced, crispy and piled on with marinara sauce and cheese. As for the Fettuccine Alfredo, it was one of the best ones we've ever had! The Alfredo sauce was so rich and fresh, it reminded me of the delicious pasta I've enjoyed in Italy. Also, I'd like to note that our meals were brought out to us very quickly after ordering, which we appreciated as we were very hungry. Highly recommend you check out this restaurant, especially if you're looking for authentic tasting Italian cuisine! read more

Having escaped NY Florida, I miss old school Italian-American food. So while visiting NYC I was keen to enjoy a good chicken parm. I heard that Tony's Di Napoli is solid so I decided to give it a shot for lunch. The dining room is big and generic, and very quiet, which is not surprising for Tuesday lunch time. Service was friendly but completely distracted, despite the waiter only having two tables to deal with. I went with the half order, which was more than enough...I was hungry but still couldn't finish it. I also got a small Caesar salad, which was also quite generous. The parm was good: a massive cutlet well breaded and covered evenly with a nice blanket of perfectly melted and golden mozz & parm. It was tasty though the sauce could have been brighter IMHO. The salad was also well executed despite too many shatteringly crisp croutons. The dressing was bright and lemony. Service, however, was distracted and inattentive. Despite only having two tables, I had to get the manager's attention to get mt water refilled as well as for the check. read more

Tony's Di Napoli - Massive portions: half order of chicken parm and a small Caesar salad - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

A restaurant in the same vein as Maggiano's, Tony's might as well fold up its raincoat and stay inside for another day, dealing the same hands as all these prewar family Italian restaurants give out, without having a true ace of spades to trump it. Am I suggesting the food is bad? Hardly. I am suggesting that the novelty of eating at a restaurant themed at the 1930's with eats that represent old school Italian-American vibes, without those old school prices. This restaurant plays it safe, all the way. The crooning voices of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Michael Bublé after awhile had me wanting to eat my meal and run. At least the food I that ordered came out quickly enough to allow me to do that. Their parmigiana dishes are a home run. Excellent sauce, good flavor, and a generous portion. I got the Eggplant Parmigiana and it was a treat. To supplement it, I got the Rigatoni a la Vodka (it comes with mushrooms) and it worked out well as a nice lunch. In a way, I am happy I did not get a meat entree as it likely would have ruined everything. The vegetarian options work well. Next time I will have to go full carnivore to compare. Most of their entrees are red sauce based. I feel I should tell you that in case you have an issue with that. Since I had heard their tiramisu is so popular, I capped my meal with that. Six hours later, I am still feeling its strong effects of liqueur. They say you cannot get drunk off of this, but I swear they are lying. After eating this, I wobbled to the subway, looking like I had not slept in three days, upon returning home, passed out for two hours, and woke up feeling like I had a massive hangover. Maybe I should reevaluate my life goals. Or maybe, as Sinatra eloquently told me as I was eating here, "That's life." read more

This was a great find. As we all know New York City has many fine dining restaurants. This may not be fine dining but an excellent Italian restaurant. Back to the beginning. We attended a tour at the Met with some friends. It ended around 6:30 PM, so time for dinner before taking the drive back to the Island. Our tour guide recommended Tony Di Napoli, so we invited him to come along. Our friends were visiting from West Virginia and. Can assure you they don't have restaurants that come close to ours. Okay let's talk about the restaurant. Located on Third Avenue. Parking, well we parked on Third Avenue. I was fortunate enough to get a spot 1/2 block from the restaurant, but there is a parking garage right next to the restaurant and very reasonably priced. I keep diverting from the restaurant so let's get back on track. So the is some main level seating but larger groups, like us, are directed to the lower level. We had a circular table which was very comfortable. The food. All entrees offer 1/2 or full servings. Small print on the bottom of the menu explains. Full servings accommodate 3-4 people and 1/2 serving for 1-2 people. Seems everyone went with 1/2 servings which was more than enough. So I had the Linguine with white clam sauce. Cook on the pasta was perfect and an abundance of chopped clams. Mrs. E had the, wait for it, do I really have to tell you? Okay, her standard Chicken Parm. I had a taste and it was excellent. I'm n fact she took some home. Guess what I'll be having for lunch. The restaurant was extremely busy but serving was not lacking. Oh yes, you want to know about prices. Seven people, all adult and the bill was $200. I couldn't believe it all meals were between $19 and $23 each. Unheard of for this level of food on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I definitely recommend and would not hesitate to return. Last thing, we did not have reservations but they are recommended. read more

We have a lot of good Italian restaurants in New York and are a bit spoiled. Living here my whole life I realized I have never tried this restaurant as I have always heard it was good. The bread that was put out was so bad they should be embarrassed. The drinks were average , they didn't make the martini right unfortunately. For dinner I went with classic chicken parmigiana, it was good. The ravioli bolognese was good and had very good flavor in the sauce. The service was average , not friendly , just an order taker. Overall though, both my wife and I felt nothing stood out or was special about this place and we have really have no reason to go back. read more

Came here for I guess what you would call a catered event. The service and the ambiance was great. The staff were super awesome. The food was excellent.

We came to Tony's Di Napoli (Upper East Side) for a company dinner and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. We were given a private room in the back, which was perfect for our group and made the night feel special and well organized. The staff were amazing attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient, especially considering everything was served family-style. The food just kept coming and everything was delicious. The chicken parm was a standout perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The chicken francese was light, lemony, and absolutely excellent. The stuffed mushrooms were rich and flavorful, and the fried calamari was crispy, fresh, and cooked just right. To top it all off, the red sangria was very good, refreshing and well balanced great for sharing with the table. Between the fantastic food, generous portions, excellent service, and private dining setup, this was the perfect spot for a company dinner or group celebration. Tony's Di Napoli truly delivers classic Italian food done right. Highly recommended. read more

We had a lovely dinner at Tony Di Napoli's on Monday night and the food was absolutely fantastic! The Fried Calamari was the best I've ever had, very soft and tasty. We ordered a full order of Chicken Parmigiana and a half order of Spaghetti Pomodoro. Both dishes were HUGE and phenomenal! The chicken was so tender and juicy and the tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella was delicious! For dessert, we ordered Tiramisu and it came with a coffee liqueur to drizzle and was fantastic. We ordered a Pitcher of White Sangria and it was the best sangria hands-down I ever had at Tony Di Napoli's! The ambience of the restaurant was very warming and inviting, and the staff and servers were very attentive and they couldn't do enough for us to make it such a lovely experience. I highly recommend! I had a reward voucher that I applied that gave me a wonderful discount and also gave me monetary rewards to use in the future.

The food and ambiance are good, but the service can be hit or miss--sometimes attentive and excellent, other times downright horrid. That said, this place is a true Manhattan Italian staple, especially known for its generous family-style servings. I'll definitely return, although mostly because it's my daughter's favorite restaurant! read more

I normally go to the location in Times Square. But, this trip I decided to try their other location. The food was still just as amazing as I remember it. Reservations can be made online via Open Table. We were a party of 2, but sat at a table for 4. I loved that because we like to order, this and that and more. So the extra room really helped. Our waiter was fantastic. A huge shot out also to those who set up the tables and clear them off. They are very hard working. Our food came out pretty quick. It was hot, and fresh. My go to is the fettuccini alfredo with peas, and the shrimp scampi..... DO NOT SKIP ON THE SHRIMP! I would go just for the shrimp honestly . I did get something near the fried zucchini as it was a little more thinner than I would've preferred. It was still delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant being one of your options if you are in New York. read more

One of the most delish Italian food options in upper east side. The service was impeccable and the food portions were incredible. If you are not in a bigger crowd to eat the dishes as family style, make sure to get just the half portion. It's plenty large even for one person. We tried multiple apps and couple of main entrees, and had a significant amount of left overs. The ambiance feels upscale but the price is still reasonable for NYC fares. Definitely recommend if you are in the neighborhood! read more

Picked up a party tray of tiramisu for my mom's birthday. Got all the way to Brooklyn and when we opened the tray it was dry. I assume they were suppose to give me a liquid on the side to pour in or on top but I didn't get anything. Wasn't good at all without that liquid. read more

Tony's Di Napoli is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Manhattan. I've been to the location in Times Square many times, but never to this location on 3rd Avenue. This location has seating on the main level and also on the lower level. The main level's decor is more modern, and the lower level has more of a classic style, similar to their 43rd Street location. We had the Zucchini Fritti and the Sauteed Shrimp with Fra Diavolo sauce for appetizers. Both were excellent, and honestly, better than the entrees. For entree, I had the Chicken Parmigiana. It was very good, but not as good as their Eggplant Parmigiana that I had previously tried. The restaurant is the perfect restaurant for a family dinner in the city. They have plenty of seating, and the service is good. I do prefer the ambiance in the Times Square location, but it's sometimes difficult to find last-minute reservations there. read more

Not even half of what we ordered. I came here with my family on New Year's Day and they were quite pleasant. The ambience was very homey which we loved and it was just so appropriate for the celebration. We had two small babies with us so I loved how accommodating the server was and patient. I've come here numerous times, the food is always good. it's a little bit more Italian than American Italian, which most people would enjoy, what I mean by that is that you're not with a ton of flavors. I love their chicken Parm. Really enjoyed their fried mozzarella. We got their ravioli, which was good for the kids. And we got the fettuccine with the chicken Parm. We also got these zucchini fritters, which I would've liked more if they have a sauce on the side, some sort of white sauce maybe. But calamari was awesome. I think if you're looking for a chill vibe with family, this is a great spot to come to.. Next time, I'll definitely be sure to add in my salads here, the food was super filling! Definitely order family style read more

I haven't been here in nearly 20 years. It's great for large celebrations and we came here to celebrate a birthday. Love the family style dishes. You can't go wrong with any order here from the chicken parm to the variety of pasta to the calamari, they come out hot, fresh and flavorful. Staff was helpful and pleasant. They also did a nice birthday sundae for the birthday girl and sang happy birthday. If you're looking for the bathroom stalls, they are downstairs and can be a tiny winding maze depending on where you sit. Cute spot and good reminder of the classic Italian family-style dishes. read more

Been here a number of times with spouse or with groups, always happy. Went Wednesday to celebrate special occasion with husband and sat at bar. Service spotty! Appetizers good, then ordered veal Marsala over plain pasta. Told kitchen won't do that so we had to order a side of plain pasta (about $18) and veal. Bartender then took the two dishes at bar and made up our plates (weird) veal was dry, tough and seemed reheated, sauce tasteless. With tip and drinks $198. Really? So disappointed! read more

The food was good but I've never been to an Italian restaurant that was à la carte. The menu did not specify as such. You had to order pasta separately. For example, shrimp scampi did not come with pasta it was only the shrimp. So you had to add on pasta for $14 which I feel it a bit insane. Half portion size is good for 2 people and a full portion is good for 3-4 people. We also started with one server than a woman kept coming to our table to service us so it was confusing. read more

... It was quiet and empty at 5.30pm in a rainy, miserable workday... we had a reservation before heading to the Armory. Because of that-we had all the attention of the waiter. While I was waiting for my party, slowly more people started to arrive and the restaurant started to fill with conversations... I ordered Salmon Oreganata with spinach, as a side dish. Salmon (huge piece!) was super delicate, juicy-not dry... spinach (big plate) tasty enough to finish everything! My friend ordered Veil &eggplant and was enjoining his dish...(big plate!) Nice ambience, great service and excellent food... what else do we need? Tip: If your party is no more than 2people-order 1/2 size dish. If 3-4 people-full size. Portions are very . Lucky you, if you live in the neighborhood and could come more often.. Vine selection is big enough to find your preferred choice -I had even 2 glasses of Savion Blank to help me with such a huge salmon's portion (1/2 size). Fast service, we made it in time to Armory.
