    Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

    Tao is such a beautiful lively restaurant and my go to for taking people from out of town. Last night they had a great price fixed dinner that was a good deal. We each got it and it was enough to share and bring food home. We had a great time --the drinks were great, and the energy was fantastic. Lots of good photo ops by the Buddha! I will be back again of course. Our waiter was helpful too with suggestions.

    Found this gem because our granddaughter named Frankie came to her first Yankee game. Happened to be the World Series but anyway staying in Bronx and wanted great Italian. This was amazing. Every item from burratta to caprese, chicken parm and the best I’ve ever had alla tortufo mushroom pasta Then dessert tiramisu and cannolis. All homemade just delicious. Don’t miss it.
