I lived in New York City for over 30 years, and this is one of the closest experiences I have found compared to the NYC dining experience. Service, presentation, and taste top notch! I do wish they had more vegetarian options, that’s my only critique. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Penne Santa Lucia
