Lusardi's - New York

Lusardi’s is a Wonderful, Intimate Dining Experience. Recently moved to New York and happened to stumble upon this Jewel of an Italian restaurant. Mauro made our dining experience extra special! We were so impressed that we ended up having them Cater our first party in our New York apartment with ten of our friends. They were punctual with the delivery, the food was AMAZING and every one of our guests were raving about the food. I would highly recommend Lusardi’s for anyone to try, you will most certainly not be disappointed. Nelson and Karen

I was hosting a dinner party at my apartment and decided at the last minute to order food catered in. We are new to the area and didn’t have an idea where we could order a meal to serve that wouldn’t disappoint. I started researching the restaurants in the area and came across Lusardis. Based on the positive reviews we called and asked could we order a menu for 10 people to be delivered for the dinner party two days later . The manager , Marro (sp? said to come over to discuss what we might want. When we arrived at the restaurant he met with us and made some recommendations , specifically the spinach ravioli, the zucchini in marinara sauce , the veal and the salmon served over a spinach cake. We decided to have dinner that night and the manager allowed us to order half portions of each dish to test. The food was amazing! We ended up ordering a meal for the dinner party which we had last night. Everyone of our guests complemented the food and asked “who catered the meal”?Lusardis instantly has become our favorite restaurant! Great food, attentive service and an elegant atmosphere . Definitely the best Italian food I’ve had in Manhattan.

Lusardi's is my favorite NYC Italian restaurant and I've eaten in most of the highest rated. Whether I choose to sit at the bar or at a table, the service has been excellent. Over the last 20 years, I've probably eaten half the items on the menu. I keep going back because of the consistent quality of the food and service. I've never been disappointed.

Food was alright. The whole dining experience here was spoiled by an arrogant waiter making us feel like he was doing a favor by serving us. Short responses, odd facial expressions and talking about patrons behind the bar. Please teach your wait staff about hospitality. What a disgrace. Will not be returning.

Had a good meal and great service but I could not give 5 on the food as it was ok to good.Food: 4/5
