    The always fabulous Sant Ambroeus at Madison and 77th in the UES never fails to impress. The service, food and ambiance is always top notch. The wines by the glass are a full page of options, and their aperitifs are stellar.

    Amazing service and atmosphere and excellent food. The lentil salad, linguine with clam sauce as the tagliatelle bolognese were all excellent. Great local feel to the place, and the servers make you feel like you’re part of the family. The pasta dishes took forever to be served, but they made up for it with a free dessert cookie.

    After a long day of walking in NYC, we were hungry, and this place was very close to our hotel. What a great experience! We didn’t have a reservation, walked in, and they were able to seat us outside within less than 5 minutes. Service was great, food was incredible! The Cacio E Pepe was as good as what we have had in Italy. I would definitely eat here again! I need to check out their other locations!

    It’s too croud, took too long, i had to wait to get my bill for 25 munites. Omelet was soso, cacio e pepe isn’t worth it. I won’t go there again. There are many much better restaurants out there!

    The pastas that my wife and I had were both amazing! The outdoor seating in late October was spectacular. The uncleaned leeks in the spinach and leeks side (tried 3 bites and all had sand in them) along with the lack of anyone giving any direction at either the front door or the middle serving area (matier d walked away from us) is why I’m giving a lower rating. Waiting forever to o get our check…
