New York's Best Italian Bistro

Our server, Jennifer, was excellent and the restaurant itself was very cozy and cute. I thoroughly enjoyed my Mediterranean Salad and glass of Brut Rose - the food was very good. I particularly loved the extensive wine list at this establishment.

Had high hopes about the quaint restaurant but our overall experience was disappointing. Our waitress, Shannon, did a great job. She was very friendly and prompt. When she had a little difficulty with the bottle of wine, we didn't care but the floor manager came over and made kind of an embarrassing scene. This type of instruction is better left to the back room, not at the table in front of the guests. That itself was not enough to spoil the evening and our appetizers (caprese and burrata) were very good but their hand made ravioli is way too large, way too doughy, and way too undercooked. The sauce it was prepared in was very good but overall, we left there saying we tried it, but we won't be back.

We often eat here but had a new server who was nice but a bit overbearing to the point of being disconcerting order a glass of wine he suggested you get a bottle (for which there was no financial advantage to the diner pushing appetizers, etc. It looked like there was a whole new staff with the exception of Juan and WHAT no more John??? He was an institution at NYB. We are bummed.

Great place with excellent food and reasonably priced. Try it you will not be disappointed!!

The restaurant is back to their original menu and the food was delicious. Great waitress. We certainly will put it back on our list of favorite restaurants.
