Zio Luigi — Restaurant in New York

Oh goodness I love ZIO LUIGI! Besides the fact that the restaurant has my name, which is a honor already, but the food is incredibly delicious! The atmosphere is cozy, like a nice, warm trattoria. The pasta dishes are good portions and they are going to fill you up well. We went to celebrate Woman's Day with my wife and she got the tagliatelle al ragù bolognese and it was divine!

I like the food and ambiance here, but because of the waiter, I was left with a bad taste and will never come back. If the owner of the restaurant sees this, save your restaurant and...

I got the gnocchi, it said $14 and they charged me more because they had changed the prices without changing it on the menu. My takeout seemed fine until I opened it at home and realized they had only given me less than 1/5th of the containers worth. I could see the bottom of the container there were only about 15 pieces of pasta in here. The whole restaurant was empty. It’s a waste of...
