    We loved our experience at Joanne! They have long been a favorite for a nice meal near Lincoln Center with good gluten free options for my family members with celiac. This time, we also learned they have a nut free kitchen, which was wonderful for another member of our party with a severe nut allergy. The servers were very kind and the live music on the patio was lovely—festive but not too loud. Everyone had a delicious, warm, winter dinner before our show and we'll be back!

    We saw Pasta Eater featured on YouTube and decided to give it a try on our trip to New York this past weekend. It was a fantastic experience. We had a reservation and we were seated right away, and while the space was small (it is a NYC restaurant after all!), it was very comfortable tucked against the wall. The food was sublime. We had salads, appetizers, a few drinks, and, of course, the signature pasta dish. Everything was excellent. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone who has any love of Italian cuisine. Marvelous all around!
