    Restaurant was packed, a good sign for overall expectation. We had a reservation and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, but our server accommodated I’ll request for expedited service as our evening included a show. Espresso martinis were great, short rib pappardelle delicious, and side of mixed vegetables, quite savory. Looking forward to return returning to sample more from the menu!

    It's located closer to the theater district but that's pretty much the only positive here. Overall the food was fine. We had meatballs which didn't have a ton of flavor, a Caesar salad that had too much dressing, a lasagna that felt overpriced and overloaded with pasta, and a cannolli for dessert which was soggy. You can tell everything is premade since our food came out in literally 4 minutes. The restaurant is small so you're basically right on top of other people as they eat. Also, they add a credit card charge to the meal.

    Daniela’s consistently has good Italian food. Every time I’ve gone with a group, each person’s meal was delicious. Even when it is very busy, the wait staff is attentive. My water glass stayed full, my order arrived promptly; and the wait staff answered all of our questions about the menu. A great palace for a meal before a show!

    Everything was delicious except the calamari. Perhaps it was just a bad day for that. Everyone enjoyed all the other dishes.
