"My wife ordered 1 course dinner, I ordered 2. She was served first and would have finished her whole dinner, had she not had the courtesy to put up with a long wait for my first course"

"Loved the Northern Italian specialties! All the food was well prepared. However, they can't seem to serve everyone their dishes at the same time. However, service was timely enough to get us out on time for our show time. And, you can actually hear your dinner partners."

"Important note about Scarlatto's-- there is an upstairs section in addition to the main dining room on the first floor. The staircase is long and narrow, and there are a limited number of tables up there. Advantage is it's much quieter than the main room, but the stairs could a a problem for older folks.
Went for pre-theater dinner with friends. Scalatto's has their act together. The service was very prompt and efficient and the food was good. They had us in and out in about an hour."

"Scarlatto's has an ideal location for theater. The food is presented well, and there's a very nice prix fixe menu at lunch. Drinks are expensive, though."

"we have been to Scarlatto's many times..the last 2 have been just fair...I felt that dinner was rushed and waiters were doing us a favor just being there.....too crowded and noisy...I realize this is theatre district but prices are not inexpensive and I don't like to feel rushed....will not return."

"The only thing that prevents me from giving this restaurant a terrible rating was that the food was good. What was not good was that the waiter made clear from the beginning that we needed to be done eating asap so they could turn the table over. There are ways for a service person to be sure that we finish in an appropriate time without coming out and saying to us that we can not take our time with our meal!!! Some subtlety in that area would've gone a long way!! When my son tried to order the Chocolate Souffle, the waiter rudely told him that it would take 25 minutes to cook and he should order another dessert. It was not a suggestion, but an order. Not good. Learn to finesse the situation, people. It's called customer service."

"We came after a matinee show. Everyone ordered from the pre-theater menu. The food was tasty and well priced. The portions weren't overly large and the service was snappy. I'd definitely recommend eating here before or after a show."

"Chose this restaurant for close proximity to the Theatre. What a find! A great 3 course Prix Fix. Very accommodating wait staff, attention was paid to food allergies. Nice wine selection by the glass and bottle. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. The 2 dessert choices for the Prix Fix were excellent."

"Great pre-theater dinner. Prix fixe menu is somewhat limited, but the dinner is fine. (Chicken was tasty, and no problem substituting spinach for broccoli.) Service was terrific: attentive and made sure we enjoyed ourselves - and got to the show on time."

"The servide was superb as was the food. This is the fourth time I have been there so that is my biggest endorsment. I return. We feasted on very well made pasta cabonara, branzini and salmon, great chicken limone. The portions are moderate size. The desserts were remarkably light . The bread is a meal unto itself. It really is a find in congested and commercial times square. It does get crowded so make reservations but they seem to try to accomodate everyone. Nice smiles all the way around. Never rushed."

"I have bento Scarlottas many times. The service is wonderful, the food excellent, and the ambiance quiet enough to have a conversation. Two other wonderful things are the round tables for larger groups - we have been as many as ten. The antipasto serves at least two, the prefixe menu has great choices. I had divine mussels, great scalloped and tiramisu. Wonderful!"

"On a recent theater night, Scarlatto seemed a perfect choice due to location. However, I would go out of my way to dine here again! The food and service were exceptional! The pasta was outstanding and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Many regulars were on the scene, but first timers were treated equally well! A touch of real Italy on 47th Street.
The barman was especially entertaining and solicitous."

"Scarlatta is my go to restaurant. I make reservations there for my theater group for the prix-fixe lunch which is always an excellent choice. They accommodate all dietary needs. I have been there for their prix-fixe dinners (3 courses) and the choices are great, even with the upcharges. I keep going back. Highly recommended."

"Reservations were on time. Service was prompt but not rushed. A reasonable price for the theater district . Food was good. Tiramasu was very good. Just a little too noisy for conversation. Some sound muffling insulation would help. I've been there before and would return. A reliable restuarant"

"Have eaten at Scarlatto's many times - this time had the pre-fixe with the veal scaloppini main course - the veal was thin, tough and dry - other courses were fine - soup and dessert (tiramisu). As usual extremely noisy downstairs but fortunately we had reserved a table upstairs."

"We went here for Mother's Day dinner after seeing a show. Fantastic, home-cooked food and friendly service! The portion sizes were just right, the meal was paced out perfectly and the wine was fabulous. What a nice break to have an affordable, delicious dinner! I love to cook so it is not very often I go out and enjoy something as much as I what I prepare at home."

"Food at this restaurant was very good. Our waiter was very attentive even though the restaurant was quite busy. The only drawback was it was very noisy as it was pre- theatre so if you just want a good dinner in that neighborhood go a little later."

"We had theatre tix for 7 p.m. and decided on an early dinner (5:30). We were seated right away, our wine order taken, then our food order - the food was delicious - we were out in time to walk to the play. A great pre-theatre spot."

"Scarlatto's food is consistently good and is a great location for a pre-theater lunch or dinner. I have been going to this restuarant for years. I like to allow for plenty of time for meals, but if you need to get in and out quickly they definitely accommodate."

"This was a great unexpected pleasure! So rare to find a restaurant in the theatre district that has such good food that it makes me want to go again just for the food and not just for the location! I had the fabulous, fresh, beautifully prepared salmon on the price fixed menu. Bargain! Everything was first rate. Same with my husband's choice of gnocchi. Best tiramisu ever. The decor is lovely with exposed brick walls with elegant crystal wall sconces, crisp blue check table cloths, elegant chairs and rustic wood floors. They are very efficient and will get you out quickly for the theatre or come after 7:45 for a more leisurely dinner in a more quiet setting. This restaurant obviously cares about repeat customers not just tourists.Well done!"

"Our party of 4 was seated right away at our reserved time. Great Italian restaurant in the the thick of the theater district. We were in at 6 and out by 7:30. Never felt rushed and the service was good. The pasta alla carbonara was a favorite at our table! The place got very busy by the time we left, so reservations are a must! Would definitely go back."

"Perfect for our post-theater 5:00 dinner and accommodated our group of 7 well. Wait staff was friendly, large selection on the menu and the food was very good - definately recommend the dessert. Accommodated our two young children also! It was great to NOT be in a crowded loud place!! We all left happy and with full bellies :-)"

"Great place before theater, after or just for lovely night out. Before theater it can get very noisy and crowded. But food always shines. A pre theater menu is a bargain, 3 full courses for $29..and these are not skimpy portions. Mussels were tender and in a savory garlic sauce, pasta with mushrooms was lovely. The grilled chicken breast with potatoes flavorful. Tiramisu or pan a Cora round out the meal."

"Food was better than I expected considering it's right in the heart of theater district. Most places are tourists' traps in my estimation. I go often to NYC and look for "unknown" restaurants, but I wanted a conveniently located restaurant, and Scarlatto's was a surprise. My only criticism, is the appetizer portions were huge, basically a meal in itself. I would like if they offered half portions of the appetizers or reduced the amount and charged less. I couldn't finish my dinner after eating the appetizer. No room to try any of the desserts, though some looked tempting."

"Overall we enjoyed our dinner and thought the prices were reasonable. We had the mussels and mozzarella/ tomato salad to start, gnocchi and pumpkin ravioli and the pancetta and creme brûlée for dessert. The pasta is clearly homemade and delicious. I do not recommend the creme brûlée. I only ordered it because the chocolate soufflé was going to take too long and we were headed to a show. Our server was very attentive for the first half of our meal but then disappeared for a bit. We were seated upstairs which was nice because the downstairs tables were very close together and it was extremely noisy and hot."

"This was our second visit to Scarlatto. The food was very good. We choose the prixe fixed dinner. Everyone is our group enjoyed the dinner. I found the service a little scattered. Service was a little rushed with our dinners being practically thrown on to the table and to the wrong person. No one came over to see if we wanted coffee with our dessert until we had all finished."
