"While staying in NYC for 3 days, we visited Bistro Milano for a late lunch. The food was so good, we decided to return for dinner the following evening. The pumpkin ravioli was delicious and cooked perfectly. Shrimp Scampi was not on the menu but they made it for me and it may be the best I've ever had anywhere. I highly recommend this restaurant and the next time we're in NYC, will definitely return to sample more of their fabulous foods!"

"The food saved the day here. Late getting a table with a reservation and the server was painfully slow....on a Wednesday night. We had to flag her down to place the order and ask for our check a couple of times after seeing her in the back kitchen eating. However, the food was absolutely outstanding and we'd definitely go there again if staying nearby."

"This was our second time to this restaurant. It was great the first time and great again this time. Our waiter Ben Hur was very personable with us and our kids. Everyone's entree was fabulous! The restaurant is small and cozy, but you don't feel like you are right on top of the table next to you.Love this restaurant, we will be back again next time we are in the city!!"

"A good lunch spot and I imagine nice in the summer when you can sit outside. It was a little quiet to start with but the restaurant soon filled up. The wait staff were excellent - attentive without being intrusive. Food was average but we weren't looking for anything too fancy. It was simply prepared and presented."
