    One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.

    Made a RSVP for Valentine's Day and the experience from start to finish was very accommodating! We arrived slightly late but the hostess was more than eager to greet us and seat us to our table. The valet driver was superb at accepting and delivering our vehicle at the end of our dining experience. Our waiter Alejandro made the night wonderful and delightful and remembered to bring out a birthday celebration dessert for my girlfriend's choice of dessert! He was acknowledgeable, and always checked-in routinely to make sure everything was to our liking. What a wonderful place, we will definitely be back!

    We had an excellent experience af Bad Roman. The babka, truffle penne luongo, short rib papparadelle, and chocolate torte were all to die for. Some of the best Italian I've had outside of Italy. And they gave my wife and I a card and a glass of champagne for our anniversary. Great experience!

    Exceeded our expectations. We chose to experience this iconic restaurant with our son to celebrate a special occasion, but the experience was more than anticipated. Service was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was delicious, perfectly executed and served with excellent timing. Manager checks table side, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, STILL a fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth its pedigree of long term respect. Not just a tourist attraction…definitely worth a visit for anyone wanting a special dining experience in a lovely setting.
