   Anthony and his food are quite the experience. Fantastic food and wine and personal service from the owner who tactfully and with ease graces the tables with his time while managing the restaurant, and knowing when to “bow out” so one may enjoy their food. I travel the country. Highly recommend this. I had the ribeye and my wife had lobster pasta. Amazing. Truly. Marty D Reid

   While the food was tasty, the prices were high and confusing. The menu said there would be a 4% mark up for using a credit card. When we got our bill the 4% was already added, even though we were paying cash. The server didn’t tell us or even ask our preference. Also, there was general disorganization like we were given different menus that had different prices; the vegetable of the day that the serve described by the server was not what we were served; and the servers were confused about who was in charge of our table. I don’t think I would go back because there was a lack of professionalism nor responsibility for mistakes made.

   We went for Valentines weekend with some family from Staten Island and the food was excellent. Anthony is doing great and everyone should try this place if you haven't been there.

   I went on Valentine’s Day and they seemed slightly overwhelmed. Took nearly an hour to get drinks and about an hour and half to get food. Food and atmosphere was great.

   The pappardelle bolgonese was the only good thing about this dinner. The hostess was nice but the wait staff was poor. It took 25 minutes to get bread. We ordered a caprese salad to split as an appetizer but it took half an hour to get there (and the place wasn’t that busy) and then more than ten minutes to get plates to split it up on to. Those came at the same time as the chicken Parmesan (incredibly weak) and the pappardelle. We ended up asking the caprese salad to be taken off our bill (which it was). An extremely disappointing Valentine’s Day experience.

   Spaghetti and meatballs lacked flavor and over priced. Shrimp scampi had watery sauce and lacked flavor, also Over priced. Not what we expected for the area and the price.

    I reserved a table at Anthony's La Piazza to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday. It has a lovely, modern decor, and it wasn't crowded on that Sunday evening. The food was really tasty. We started with fried mozzarella and stuffed mushrooms. Our entrees were exceptional. The filet mignon melted in your mouth, and the Bolognese so very good. The cocktails were excellent as well, especially the espresso martini. I can't recommend the staff highly enough. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and personable. The hostess, our waitress, and the food runner were wonderful. They went above and beyond ensuring that our celebration was outstanding. The sparkler in the chocolate cupcake at the end was chef's kiss and the perfect ending to our night. We will definitely be back!
