Sandro’s Our first visit to Sandro’s was so very good. The warmth and attentiveness of the staff was exceptional. From the host and hostess, to the waiter, to the busboys, everyone is on top of their game. Our excellent waiter made spot on wine, appetizer and entree recommendations. The lemon pasta was very yummy. The halibut special was delicious, perfectly cooked in a tasty, light sauce. The thinly sliced ribeye over broccoli rabe was simple, plain and thoroughly enjoyed. The atmospheric warmth and “neighborhood gem” vibe was palpable. (Sadly, it’s not in our neighborhood.) The birthday cookies and grappa were lovely, complimentary additions to an already great meal. Sandro’s is worth the 30 block uber ride, even on a frigid January evening…. We will happily return.

Sandro's is undoubtedly one of the finest Italian restaurants on this side of the Atlantic. Far from your typical red sauce spot, you won’t find dishes served with a “side of spaghetti” here. Instead, you’ll enjoy exceptional, authentic Italian cuisine paired with a KILLER wine list.

Everything was oversalted except the dessert. Otherwise it might have been good.
