Upper East Side's 40-Year-Old Classic Italian Restaurant 🌟 🎢🍃This Italian restaurant in the Upper East Side has been a staple for 40 years! The space is pretty cozy and compact, with the area near the bar being especially lively. The interior is elegantly vintage, exuding a strong sense of old New York charm. It’s perfect for those who are looking for a traditional Italian dining experience! 🍝 We ordered dishes that were recommended by the grandfatherly bartender—classic and authentic Italian fare. The pasta portions were generous, and the flavors were spot-on. 🎢🍃 The bartender mentioned that even though many items aren’t on the menu, they can still make them (super flexible!). Our scallop and pasta were special requests, and they turned out amazing! 🦪 Note: Make sure not to be late! During dinner rush, you might get seated at the bar. But this time, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. 🎢🍃 The bartender was super chatty and even gave us a delicious dessert! (Next time, I’ll skip snacks before the meal to save room for more dishes. The steak at the next table smelled incredible. 😢) #NewYork #ClassicItalianDining 🍽️🌟
