What JohnM likes about Lusardi's:
Always reliable, this UES standby has a wide range of interesting Italian dishes, including (hard to find) rabbit and kidneys, fine pastas, gracious old style friendly service. View all feedback. What Samantha L doesn't like about Lusardi's:
Personally really wanted to like this restaurant was excited to have found an old world vibed Northern Italian restaurant. However, the dishes were just not what I expected but unfair to say didn 't meet it either. The flavours were just different that I had anticipated and not quite for me. 1/ Linguine All ' Ammiraglia The seafood were definitely super fresh; the sauce somehow just didn 't compliment the pasta well...
