"I live about 1/2 a block from Acappella, and can't believe last night was my first time here. It has an old school upscale Italian dining feel. The service is fantastic, I especially loved the guy who explains the specials. Immediately after taking our drink order, we were served fresh brushchetta, parmesan, fried zucchini, and a cured meat. We ended up ordering mostly specials, starting with a portabella mushroom, app, then had the squid ink pasta, followed by the veal scallopine. After our delicious meal, we were served complimentary grappa, which was a little strong for me but a nice finishing touch. I thought it was very reasonably priced for what we got. The food was all fresh and well prepared. I will be back."

"this restaurant is a tourist trap! Food is overpriced, pasta is drowned in sauce and lights are turned down so low you can barely see your food. I returned my pasta as it was drowned in cream only to get another pasta drowned in sauce. I have had better food in my local pizzeria. If you order a "special" ask the price- a very small sushi tuna/avocado "tower" was $29."

"We try to dine at Acappella whenever we are in NYC. It's out favorite place for celebratory occasions! We always receive a warm welcome, and feel as if we're at "home" amongst friends!
From the warm service, to the fabulous food to the house-made grappa and flaming desserts it's sure to be a diner's delight!

"The food was good, the waiters were very attentive, but not very informative. We thought we were ordering individual orders of a few appetizers, but we were each served a plate with a bit of everything on it and charged accordingly. I felt ripped off. In addition, the "energetic" ambiance was really too dark and too loud."

"I've eaten in many of the best restaurants in the country and I've never had better service, warm, vibrant, quick to anticiipate needs. There were 3 in our party. The appetizers and the entrees were excellent with one exception, my entree, which was a lobster ravioli with a too heavy cream sauce. I had them take it away and bring me something else, which they did promptly and the substitute a pasta with sea food dish in a light wine sauce was excellent. All in our party agreed, a wonderful find. Only one caveat: the acoustics in the place aren't great, not terrible, but I prefer a little more quiet."

"The restaurant was well worth the ride from our hotel on Central Park South. As soon as we were seated we were provided with a tasty array of complimentary munchies. We had decided to share a number of appetizers and they were automaically plated for each person...a very nice touch. Entrees among our group included meat,fish and pasta. All dishes were delicious and more than ample. Only a couple of us had room left for desser, but those that did, were not disappointed. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. They made you feel like you were dining with old friends. Our only regret was that we live too far to dine here more frequently!"

Why deal with the vastly overcrowded Il Giglio with their tiny tables and noisy restaurant when you can have the same great food and better service here."

"Took my girlfriend here once back in October. Great food and so romantic we came here for Valentine's Day. The sauces for their pasta are incredible. I got veal each time (shank and scallopine) and she got the three pasta dish. Sauces were incredible for the pasta and the veal was cooked perfectly. Even the parmesan cheese and fried zucchini they bring out for starters is out of this world. Great special occasion restaurant."

"Food consistently first-rate, with custom-made dishes never a problem. Service attentive (almost to a fault). Every member of the wait staff knows what's freshest and best and will tell you if asked; don't be shy about doing so. Go more than once and they will remember you. Only (minor) complaint: food, and especially wine, prices are high. Not at all difficult to spend $250-$300 for dinner for 2."

"I was amazed how attentive the service was. from the moment we walked in we were greeted at the door by the metre'd Tomassino. as soon as we were seated the waiter came over and ask for our drink order, and brought over some condements ,which were a excelent start. He gave us Parmagan cheese, supersad,and pan fried zuchini.
Our Captain ( which you do not find in other high end restaurants any more what a shame )came over and verbaly told of the evenings signature dishes which included Veal Chops, Lamb, Fish and 3 1/2 pound lobster. we started with the shrimp and crabmeat apps, then had pasta and went on to have the Veal chop and the Lobster all were very tasty. I and my wife had a great time. We will go back, with our friends."
