Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Garment District

Family friends and family converged from two states and three locations and the four of us were so happy with Stella 34 Trattoria from start to finish. I can’t rave enough about our server and am quite embarrassed that I do not remember her name but she was extremely helpful to our Spanish speaking friends, attentive and gracious and friendly and the service was mega-professional. We were made to feel welcome , allowed to visit beyond our allotted time and just comfortable from start to finish. The restaurant is beautiful with of course the signature view of the Empire State Building (I used to see that from the East Side), tranquil, clean to a fault, noise level perfect for our older crew, the food delicious, an awesome Pumpkin Margarita was enjoyed along with Prosecco. I recommend especially the giant prawns with garlic and the cauliflower with brussel sprouts appetizer. I’m Coming back for a cocktail and pizza!

We love this neighborhood place. Great margaritas and super authentic flavors. The best approach to the menu IMHO) is to get a cocktail w:guac and chips while you contemplate the near future. While nibbling and sipping, pick a selection of tacos, ceviche,appetizers and other small plates adequate for your party. We love the carne asada, de lechon and camaron tacos. Oh, the birria and consommé is amazing too. Just go, and bring at least four people. Make reservations.

Amazing experience at Olio! The food was excellent and they were able to accommodate gluten free pasta with their pasta dishes, so good you couldn’t even tell! Also the panna cotta was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!!! I’ll definitely be coming again!

The waiters were extremely attentive and helpful, even cutting our meals into two without us even asking, as my woman and i like to order two dishes and split them. The food was amazing, traditional dishes that have just a touch of personalization; the ambiance was great, dimly lit with soft, neutral tones on the walls and a very classy vibe. The prices fit the quality and quantity of our dishes, overall, 10/10 experience! Will be coming back again.

Small restaurant. We came half hour early, it was still full, people waiting. But they tried very hard to accommodate us and they did. They were very nice. The food was very very good, the veal was fantastic. The ice cream on a brownie? It was some dried up cake, nor a brownie. But everything else , served for 6 people , was excellent.
