Sistina

"3 months on the waiting list to get a Saturday night reservation. It was worth every minute waited. Enjoyed my salads, loved my rack of lamb (once you take first bite, you'll understand why it's expensive), but I was blown away with clams. The sauce it was prepared in made me throw my fork away and go in with my hands and mouth like a barbarian. Little advice: there's a bread basket on the table. Take the bread, put in under the clams. Once you are done with them, enjoy your bread that soaked all that sauce in."

"This was the one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had - decor and ambience is stunning, the service superb and unpretentious which you might not expect in a restaurant such as this, the only reason I didn't give the food 5 stars is I needed to send the seafood linguine back because it was a bit too al dente, but the amazing chocolate soufflé made up for it! I've traveled the world and this is one of the finest dining experiences I've had – I will definitely be back!"

"Very upscale place with inappropriate price hike for wine - 7-10 times mark up from retail! Food was good, but not spectacular for the price. Typical Upper East side approach - we'll service you well and you'll pay us what we want..."

"What a lovely experience to end my trip in New York in this restaurant. Kinda of these restaurant. You cannot rate the food because it’s over the rate, the hospitality and the vibes. It’s WORTH to visit. for me the dessert. It’s hilarious and crazy. We got honey travel with ice cream. I cannot describe this. It’s soo good."

"13/10 for everything - the staff is deeply knowledgeable and friendly, even the bread and butter brought to you before anything else is amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful - kind of an interesting mix decor wise, with flowers everywhere. There is an extensive list of specials from which we ordered a pesto pasta dish, as well as an extensive list of wines and cocktails. I brought my mom here, and she said it became her favorite restaurant in the city. Will definitely be returning."
