L'Amico

"Food had pretty small portions. We left hungry. It was good, but wasn't worth the price per portion size. The ravolini was literally 9 raviolis in a circle with the truffle on top. Service was very attentive and nice. The atmosphere is also great."

"On a chain of trips to taste Italian and here I am doing an Italian brunch on Sunday. First of all, lots and lots of sunlight shining through the glass walls during my brunch. Visually very pleasing. We got the lemon ricotta pancake that is so instagrammable and it lives up to its fame!!! Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect initially but I ended up being super surprised by the quality. Make sure you do reservations on WEEKENDS for pancakes. They are not on the regular lunch menu. The pancakes are jiggly, soft, eggy (in an appetizing way), and have a nice bit of crust on the outside. They are topped with maple crema (which melts when heated) and soft cinnamon apples, perfect for a windy morning. These pancakes remind me of soufflé due to their cloudy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. We liked to pair savory with sweet (because who doesn’t lol). So we had farmer’s pizza with two sunny side up eggs on top (to avoid the fight for sharing egg yolks). We asked our server to see if chef would be okay of adding one more egg on the pizza and we are happily accommodated. The pizza dough is got a nice crust with char at the exterior. Cheese was still melting when it came, and the sausage and the mushroom on there are quite umani. It meets the expectations of a good pizza, but not like exceptional. (Also not sure if authentic Italian people would be okay with having sunny side up eggs on pizza, but I am biased on yummy oozing yolks). So, I would recommend ricotta pancake as your priority brunch item. Their gelato flavors were also interesting: the stracciatella flavor I have never seen in my life and have no idea how it tastes. I, however, wasn’t able to taste due to a stuffed stomach (only if I knew ahead of time, regrets) but maybe others can save the space ahead of the time to try the gelatos."

"We had no plans to dine here, we were starving and the Buratta sounded delicious so we stopped in to grab an appetizer and ended up ordering dinner, and it was the best gluten free pizza in the whole city. It was busy, a Thursday night at about 7 and they got us in and at a table with no wait. Our food came super fast and it was so delicious! My partner who usually isn't a fan of gluten free was super impressed with their pizzas (which is extremely difficult to do he has his own Pizza reviewing hobby) all in all it was a great experience. We were packed in like sardines but it's NY so I would expect nothing less."

"Excellent location. The wood fired oven produces delicious dishes and creates a cozy atmosphere. The grilled octopus served over potatoes is a delicious appetizer! We also loved the skirt steak with gnocchi. The baby Brussel sprouts with guanciale is also excellent."

"Truly an aesthetically pleasing environment for a photogenic brunch. Waitstaff was very accommodating and was able to seat us 30 min before the kitchen closed. Food was ok. Nothing too impressive at that given price point but I do applaud them for having some healthy options."
