Italian Restaurant · Midtown East · 55 tips and reviews
Adam Handley: Great fresh Italian. Lots of different salads and meats to choose from. High quality. Not cheap nyc Italian deli junk
Douglas Kurdziel: They have moved some hot sandwiches (like the wonderful Telera and steak sandwich) to the counter in the back - don't miss them!
Jackie Burnbaum: If you're an Italian food lover, this is heaven. From the chicken Milanese salad, goat cheese tarts, refreshing salads, great lunch spot
Anna K.: Bloody Mary shooters are absolutely the must. Bouillabaisse has a satisfying amount of saffron in it, oysters are great and surprisingly tasty with a drop of horseradish.
Renee T: Plenty of oysters, beers, and a comfortable atmosphere. Classic.
Tristan Louis: Stand in one corner in front of the Oyster Bar at Grand Central and have a friend stand on the other side and whisper. the other person can hear you...
