L'Amico NYC

Came here for a late lunch. Ordered a bunch of stuff from their brunch menu:1. Bread with ricotta (not pictured): good stuff with the fresh ricotta with citrus and an almond-esque paste on top reminiscent of an almond croissant 2. Baked eggs: this was pretty good. Warm and comforting in the best way. 3. Ricotta pancakes: soft and fluffy. Almost like a soufflé with how airy and soft it is. Not at all heavy like a normal buttermilk pancake. A bit on the sweet cakey side but good zing with the orange. Overall, the food here was pretty good. The place is pretty. Would come back especially to check out their dinner menu.

My wife and I an amazing experience here. They have the best gluten free pizza we have had in the city to date. Additionally the octopus was cooked to perfection. I swear we must have made those sounds one makes when something is delicious so loudly that all the tables around us were ordering it too.We will be back. The service was a bit lack luster and took longer than usual. The serve also misheard our order but the mistake was quickly taken care of. We hope for more attentive service next time.

I rarely put yelp reviews but this place deserve one Walked in with no reservation at 7pm (rush hour) and everyone was very nice and welcoming The outdoor seating is honestly a big plus, I didn't feel cold and it was warm and cozy I had the octopus and the burrata and honestly I was surprised !!! The food was amazing and my server Jorge was the best . So polite, super pleasant, smiled the whole time and great recommendations !! The busser was very attentive as well !!!Got the Walnut rhum banana cake The caramelized banana were the best part Highly recommend this place!! Thank you to all the staff and the kitchen

Came here before the JCole concert in MSG. The service was decent , it was very busy so at moments when we needed our waiter we ended up calling someone else who was close by because he was busy. The ambiance was very beautiful , low lights and romantic vibe. And the food topped it all everything I pictured was INCREDIBLE. I will be returning.

4 stars for service / 3.5 stars for value and food. This was a really tough one to Yelp. I wanted to enjoy my brunch experience here given the nice ambience and the menu items were what I normally expect to find in an awesome brunch spot. Menu looked promising. However, the food was just good, not particularly memorable. And the portions were all over the place. Some dishes looked great for sharing while others were strictly for one. It was a very European designed menu - small plates in mind so you can try more dishes. But with these prices, given the location, it was hard to justify it on the wallet without the five star quality to match. Again, A good spot for brunch and for people watching.The reservation system was a bit hicup-py. But the hosts at the restaurant were very accommodating when I arrived and explained my issues with the online system. They put me on the live waiting list and texted me with the first available. The staff overall (host, server and support staff) were all friendly and very nice. The place was as packed as can be on a Sunday afternoon in midtown given the high traffic/high tourist neighborhood.The breakfast plates as you'll see in the photos were good, loved the poached eggs. Perfectly cooked. There were no extras, not even garnish. Just nice plating. No decorative touches so it was just a simple brunch. Indeed a nice afternoon out in a nice place. You're soaking in the ambiance. And the people watching. The folks that come here are here for the atmosphere and to enjoy the company. The drinks are the draw ... Which is where the menu really grabs attention. The food was neither outstanding or highly memorable but it was an experience.

We were 6 last night for Thanksgiving dinner. What a beautiful restaurant. It was a Prix Fixe menu at a very reasonable price. We started out with pumpkin bread and Butternut Squash soup, then a full turkey dinner with all the fixings. Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, greens, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. My wife had a lovely piece of salmon, and one of my sons had the prime rib. We topped it off with pumpkin and pecan pie. We sat out side on a covered heated patio which was great, and Sophia our server went above and beyond to make sure our Thanksgiving dinner was perfect. Thank you everyone for a wonderful evening.

I am not a big fan of this place. Been here twice now, the first time I ordered the pizza, the crust was so thin I couldn't hold it with my hands and ate it with a fork and knife. This time I ordered pastas. I liked the ravioli, it was lighter but small portions for the price. I thought the other pasta was too salty for my taste. Also, we got french fries for the table and it was all small pieces like they poured the bottom of the bag and gave it to us. The place looks very nice and clean, good ambiance! Our server was super sweet and there were a fee people attending to our table but for the quality of food and the price, I don't think I'll be back.

Came here for some pre-game food. I feel like most of the food was just okay and overpriced for what it is. The octopus was very tough. The scallops were $38 and came with 3 - that's crazy. The pizzas were okay. Don't think I'd return.

Came here on a Friday evening for a date night and it was honestly a great place. Once I checked-in, I was easily seated at my table and was greeted with water/menus. The food came out at a reasonable time as well. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sausages were tasty. The pizza was a bit on the burnt end with the crust, but it was still delicious. Just wished that the pizza was a bit bigger considering the price. Loved the ambiance with dim lighting and nice views outside. Thought it was weird that the manager was going table-to-table to greet people, but completely skipped us. Only that threw me off a bit.Food: 3/5Service: 3/5Ambiance: 4/5

Had the nicest lunch here! First of all their iced tea was awesome. It's so rare to find and a joy when it happens. The arugula salad was a quality basic. The cauliflower was absolutely outstanding. I think the best cauliflower I've ever had. Hubs agreed. The chicken he ordered was juicy and flavorful- super moist, while still thoroughly cooked. The dessert was unusual in look and fun to eat, as well as super yummy. You'd have to see my photo for what it's called because I already forgot. All you need to remeber is to go!
