Had a very nice meal at Barolo east, nice atmosphere, nice service, food was tasty and portions were generous. I would definitely go back if it is close to my hotel next time I am back in NYC.

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. We were grumpy after a long day of travel and learning the show we travelled to NYC for was cancelled during our flight, and just wanted some Italian comfort after going to Italy recently. This place did not disappoint. We both got the pasta tasting and the wine pairing, and our waiter Marco was lovely. Food was great, wine was great, and service was even better. Highly recommend!

Every time we’ve been to San Babila, the experience has been wonderful. Issa provides amazing service. The food has been delicious every time. The specials can push the boundaries a bit, but always deliver. Very high recommendations for San Babila.

Our favorite family restaurant. Consistent for the padt 20 years. Great service, ambience and vibe. The food is outstanding snd if it’s not on the menu they’ll accommodate you. We go there foe special occasions and business dinners. Week end live music is a nice old school approach. The front bar is cozy and the bartender keeps everything flowing . A special shoutout to Wilson. Hadn’t seen him in a.while an he recognized my wife and daughter when we walked in. Hugs for all. Its a special place.
