   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!

   First timer NY’er. Our server Nicky was personable and accommodating. Delicious salmon piccata, cooked PERFECTLY w/the perfect amount of sauce with capers. Side of vegetables were room temp, not sure if they were supposed to be hot(which I would have preferred), but it was fine. Rigatoni (colossal size)alla vodka was outstanding. Again, perfect ratio of ingredients. The added meatballs were a disappointment. The texture and flavoring were not good. Will definitely pass on them going forward. The house salad with the Chianti dressing was delicious. We had to ask for bread. Bottom line, the food was high quality and deliciously prepared. Pass on the meatballs. I’ll be back.

   ...my second time dining here, and it definitely was better than the first. The food as before was amazing. The drinks my party chose were delicious. Our server was awesome. And Anthony stopped by the table to speak to us...

    We ordered the lobster ravioli and it was soooo delicious. The staff were hands-on and attentive. Can't wait to go back.
