Jase Kim: Get the pappardelle with white truffle (or black truffle depending on the season)
Tony Ursillo: If you can spring for even a half order of the white truffle pappardelle ($80 and it will serve two as an appetizer), I PROMISE you will never forget it.

Chanette Lewis: Alvaro had many customers to take care of but always made me feel like I had his full attention. He practically brought out my risotto with white truffle as soon as I ordered it.
Michael Kors: If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine like me – visit Nello. There are all kinds of pasta and risotto. My favorite is risotto with white truffle. There’s also a pretty impressive wine list
Kathy Ray: The most delicious risotto with white truffle I have ever tried! Real Italian homemade gnocchi! Sommelier helped to choose good and tasty wine. Pleasant interior and benevolent waiters. Recommend

Corinne Pulitzer: Try the Tarte Tartin! Delish❤️
Nancy: Consistently excellent quality & service at this lovely Michelin star restaurant. While expensive, worth it for a fine French meal of the braised ribs, filet or a salad, paired w/the perfect wine.

heather pink: This is the most underated restarant in the city. The steak tartare is probably the best in the country. I've never had a bad meal here. Also, I've never had an issue with the servers being rude.
Gansevoort Hotel Group: The BEST Steak Tartare in town!
The Corcoran Group: Perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner, this French bistro has all the best classic dishes. Try the French onion soup, and the steak tartar with frites and finish with a chocolate soufflé.
william veronda: Small, cozy place with great decor. Lunch is an great bargain at $19 for 3 courses. Fleet mignonette of 5 ounces, soup or salad, good rolls and dessert. Try the blueberry tart with Irish oatmeal.
JH Madison Lee: Very cute place! The upstairs area is perfect for private events like bridal showers :)
Melissa Chusid: shhh...it is my favorite date place
