"On a brief return trip to NYC, we included Il Cantinori on this visit in remberance of good times, great food and style exhibited by the entire staff. On this occasion, the food was great as usual, the service a little lacking in attitude and caring. However, the fact that a customer was admitted wearing shorts and a t-shirt with the usual baseball cap atop his head told us to bid fond farewell to Il Cantinori.

I spoke to the Manager about the lack of standards. His reply was that he could not afford to offend "rich guys". I asked him if all of the other standards that made Il Cantinori a wonderful dining experience had also been jettisoned? His answer was "cute" but uninformative. You be the judge!"

"Dined often in the mid- 80's to the mid- 90's when I was traveling to the City for Business on a monthly basis- still superb and perfect! Requested and received an incredible table; terrific service; spectacular Pasta Menu; gorgeous fresh flowers throughout the Restaurant; very enjoyable meal! Absolutely a "10!""

"My first time. Perfect location, open to the street with a few outdoor tables when the weather permits, great Tuscany atmosphere. Very pleasant. Not too crowded when we were there for lunch. Didn't sample too many items on the menu. What we chose was simple and very good. However, there were flavor choices for the Tartufo...a real plus! Did not check wine list. We had a wonderful wait person, experienced and mature with a charming accent that added to the experience of Italy in New York. So delightful to walk into such a lovely place on a picture perfect street in such a lovely neighborhood on a beautiful and warm spring day."

"For nearly 30 years, this Village treasure has been serving great Tuscan inspired dishes with no loss of authenticity or enthusiasm. While the prices are at the upper end, the tastes are also. If you want the look, feel and taste of a trattoria where simplicity of preparation and purity of taste is king, come here."

"Il Cantinori was the best choice for our first dinner in NYC. Everything was AMAZING especially the food and service! They made you feel like part of the family from the first moment you walk in the door. Our server, Fabricio, was delightful and had us laughing all night. It truly was an experience I will never forget. We will definitely come back again!"

"I came here during Restaurant Week, and enjoyed a fabulous 3 course meal. For the appetizer, I ordered the portobello mushroom which was topped with cheese and was outrageously excellent. For my main entree, I ordered the steak with potatoes and it was cooked to perfection. The dessert I chose was a gelato topped with biscotti. The service was outstanding and we also ordered a bottle of Verdichio wine. Both my friend and I would come running back for more, loved this place and you will too!"

But I found the food to be a little disappointing. Everything tasted good, but was kind of standard. My salmon with mustard sauce came with steamed string beans. Nothing special. In the end it didn't feel like it was worth the money."

"I went with my girl friends for Restaurant Week. The service was great - wait staff was attentive and very friendly. We all ordered the braised lamb and polenta as an appetizer which was delicious. I ordered the spinach ravioli as my meal. It was ok - it comes with little meatballs on top which I could have done without and replaced with additional ravioli. I got an apple tart for dessert which was not good but two friends ordered the hazelnut pie and liked it. There are less expensive wines on the wine list but not many. I would not go back as the standard menu seemed overpriced for what it was - pasta with cream or tomato sauce."

"It was our first visit to Il Cantinori in over 10 years and it was really spectacular.
The flowers, the service the food made our anniversarry very special. Thank you! We need to go there more often, and we will."

"Both my friend and I expected to be in love with the place, because the service was amazing from the start and the ambiance was gorgeous. Throughout the dinner, nothing really made me roll my eyes back in delight, but everything was really, really good. Cute place. Bar scene happening on a Thursday night."

"Perhaps because of restaurant week they couldn't handle the crowd. Rushed sloppy service, overcooked food, wine never gotten. Pricey and disappointing."

"This happened to be a Food Week visit, but two of us (out of five) ordered from the regular menu. All selections were excellent. The house wines sold by the glass were very well selected and a good value. Known for the beautiful flowers and decor and justifiably so. Service was excellent as well."

"We live very near Il Cantinori, and first ate there some twenty-five years ago. Unfortunately, for the first couple of decades we seldom visited because it seemed overpriced for mediocre food. For the past five or six years, however, each meal has been a pleasant surprise. It's still too expensive to be a regular dining spot for us, but Restaurant Week prices have lured us back. The food no longer disappoints, the service is excellent, and the staff seems more friendly than in the past. Also, the renovations the restaurant has made since their recent fire have made it brighter and more cheerful. We now look forward to our visits."
