Lombardi Cucina Italiana

"The entire dinner experience was terrific. The location is beautiful. The surrounding store and shops are terrific and the restaurant was easy to find and accessible. I was greeted immediately upon arrival by the host who was very engaging. I had to wait for my plus one to arrive, and the waiting area was both comfortable and appropriately sized. Upon my plus one arriving, we were immediately seated. Upon being seated, our table was very nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning. Our waiter was excellent. He was very well-versed with the menu, with the strong grasp of all the details of each dish. He had some great recommendations for us-in fact, I went with his recommendation for both the appetizer and the main dish, both of which were delicious. I had penne ala vodka for my main course, and it was impeccable. His wine recommendation was spot on. Both delicious and in line with the dishes we were eating. The experience was a solid “A”. The only things that I could find issue with was the price of wine and the seating was a tad bit “comfy”. The wine list was complete with some extraordinary wines. However, it was quite pricey, even when compared with 5-star Italian restaurants in Manhattan. It would’ve been nice to see more wines in the $75–$125 price point. Regarding the seating, well appropriately sized and comfortable it was in very close proximity to the adjacent tables. So you have to be modestly comfortable in overhearing other peoples conversations. Like I said, though, the issue with the wine and table were very minor, and really the only things that I wouldn’t describe as perfect. All in all, a terrific experience."

"We were late for our reservation and had to sit at the bar until a table opened up, this was fair enough.The ambience was fantastic. We started with the drinks at the bar that looked nice but suspiciously lacked alcohol content. Bar service was friendly. When a table did open up we were asked to settle the bar and meal tab before going to the table.In a full service establishment, that felt weird.Also our appetizers that we paid for did not appear at the table. We asked for bread at the bar which never arrived. Once at the table, the entree arrived quickly but the ravioli portions were miniscule and the risotto, while well cooked, was tasteless and bland. The waiter for the table ignored us until he couldn't when I ordered a winter negroni, which looked nice again, but there was literally nothing to drink. The souffle was not great but the tiramisu was nice. All in all, not the optimal dining experience that we had hoped for. I would not return voluntarily."

"We celebrated our anniversary here and enjoyed the both the food and ambiance. There are good of vegetarian options to choose. Drinks were great. The service was fantastic. Overall great experience would recommend this place. The place is packed. If you are looking for quiet place then this is not the place for you."

"The food was delicious but the real highlight was the service! Luca was our server and he was extremely attentive and polite. It was our first time dining here and he was wonderful! He explained different menu items to us and recommended the best dishes! We very much enjoyed our dining experience and we would definitely go back!"
