We chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel. What a nice surprise that it turned out to be one of the best restaurants we visited in New York. Much of the credit for this goes to our very professional server, Israel. It's such a treat to encounter someone who fulfills the role of restaurant server as a...

A large party next to us was loud and we waited one hour for food - staff didn't seem able to balance the demand. Two of us had great fish, the sea bass was terrible and pasts was average. Surprised by this because of good reviews here - maybe an off night for them.

Another reason to trust reviews on TripAdvisor - this restaurant was well recommended and it was exactly as described in the reviews. Excellent food at a very affordable price for central Manhattan. This a small, friendly Italian with a dozen tables and a good range of wine. Booking is recommended as it was quite busy, even late on a Sunday...

We visited this restaurant after reading other trip advisor reviews and must agree that the food was fantastic. We were a family of 4 adults whose meals included two different pasta dishes and two meat dishes and we all found the food to be delicious. Desserts was a difficult choice as an assortment of sweets, which all looked mouth watering,...

We visited Il Corso this valentines. Both the food and service was exceptionally good, and for New York surprisingly good value. If you like Italian food, you will struggle to find a better restaurant in the city, particularly mid-town. I would recommend you request a table in the back room of the restaurant as it is more intimate. The atmosphere...

We visited this restaurant as it was ranked highly by trip advisor and was close to our hotel on 54th St. We had a good table in a quiet location, the service was very attentive with good wine suggestions and the food was excellent, especially the seafood lasagna. Cost was $20-40 per main course and a little more than I...

I spent time in Milan earlier this year and this place could easily be in Milan rather than New York - the food was perfect! Extremely hospitable and cozy atmosphere. The Tiramisu was on par with the best I had in Italy, quite impressive.

Found a review of this restaurant in Food Network magazine before our annual trip to NYC. Had a delicious meal here on Christmas Eve, the food was fantastic, the staff very friendly and the prices very reasonable, especially for NYC. Very conveniently located, a short subway ride from our hotel in Herald Square, a terrific find in a city filled...

We were warmly welcomed, seated quickly and served with a smile. The food was very good and the wine list was better. Very well priced. Would return in a heartbeat.
